"Responsible" Journalism.
Sun of January '6, under
"'An Unauthorized State-
A Sample of
The Wasco
the heading
rnent," says :
An item is going the rounds of the
press, originating in an irresponsible
paper of this city that The Dalles board
of trade is about to issue a circular letter
urging the congressional delegation of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to pro
cure an appropriation for the construc
tion of a portage railway between this
city and Celilo. No such letter is being
sent out by The Dalles board of trade,
ThiB is not a new "break" of the Sun.
It is an incident in one continuous
break that has been going on ever since
the present editor took charge of that
. paper. What the editor expects to gain
by such a course is beyond our ken.
The utter falsity of the statement will
appear from the letter of the secretary
of the board of trade published in
- another place. The circulars have been
issued and signed officially by the secre
tary of the board which footed all the
expense connected with their issuance
For the rest the Chronicle make3 the
assertion that The Dalles never had a
body of men who have done so much for
the material advancement of the city
and county as this same board of trade.
lo it, more than any other set of men,
the country owes the Cascade portage.
To it absolutely the city and county owes
the line of boats now running between
here and Portland. While the board of
trade has been quietly working the Sun
has been making a fool of itself.

The Board of Trade Letter.
Editor Chronicle:
My attention , has been called . to an
item in the Wasco Sun under the head
ing '"An Unauthorized Statement,"
relative to the issuing by the Board of
Trade of a circular letter relative to
congressional aid tor the construction of
a portage railroad from The Dalles to
Celilo) Permit me to say that while no
formal meeting of the Board has been
recently held, a number of the promi
nent members of the Board of Trade
came to me and requested me to prepare
and circulate a letter addressed to the
congressmen from Oregon, Washingion
and Idaho, asking them to use their in
fluence to secure an appropriation for
the construction of a portage road from
The Dalles to Celilo. In compliance
with their request, such a letter was
prepared, and over 100 copies have been
sent to the leading towns in Eastern
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, accom
panied by a request that as many signa
tures be obtained to the letters as possi
ble, and that they be returned to me by
the 20th of January.
As to the statement that there is no
such organization as The Dalles Board
of Trade, I have to savthat 1 have never
heard that the Beard had ceased to ex
ist. It is not true that the portage
question was ever settled by the Board
of Trade, either for or against. The
Board of Trade was asked, some time
last August, what the people of the city
would do toward the construction of a
portage. A committee was appointed
at that meeting to canvass the matter
with the business men of the city. Very
soon after and before the Committee
were prepared to report, the fire of
Sept. 2d occurred and nothing was done
thereafter. I was chairman of that
committee, and as I understood that
the proposed iortage road had been
given up, so far as the company that
had submitted the matter to the Board
was concerned, I have never called the
committee together. I do not under
stand that the action or want of action
on the part of the Board of Trade had
anything to do with the abandonment
of the construction of the portage road.

Old Comrades Meet After a Reparation

During Captain Lewis' " late trip to
Washington, finding himself delayed at
Chicago, he bethought himself of visit
ing Libby prison, which, as the reader
is doubtless aware, has been transported
bodily, and placed on exhibition in that
city. The familiar sight of the old
prison in which the captain himself had
been incarcerated, naturally set him to
talking and to a stranger also visiting
the prison the captain pointed out the
celebrated Rose tunnel through which he
had made his escape and then proceeded
to recount the hardships endured by
himself and four companions, till after
two days and nights' incessant tramping
the captain, weak from hunger and sick
lies?, fell down exhausted and begged
his companions to seek their own safety
by leaving him to his fate. Then s he
told the stranger how his companions,
with teaia in their eyes, bade him good
bye, a third gentleman who had been
listening intently to the captain's story,
stepped forward and said : "That's just
the wav it happened. Don't you re
member me? I am one of the four..
We gave you up for dead, and many a
time I have rehearsed the story and told
that vou must have died and that only
two of -us were now alive." Said the
captain, as he took his old comrade by
the hand. "I'm the liveliest corpse you
ever saw," The srranger's name was
Captain Wood, but Captain Lewis, in
recounting the incident, had forgotten
the name of his regiment.

Christmas morning. While demurely
performing the function of milkmaid on

him that he had been struck by a

through a pair of bars he saw nothing
but a pair of hoofs, a spray of milk
shimmering in the holy sunlight and a
winter-blasted landscape. Then ail
was over. "Where am IT he asked
