The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
A QL'ESIIOX.
The OiinoxicE has received the follow
ing: Wasco, Or.. Jan. 11, 1$2.
Editor of the Chronicle :
It is reported here by Mr. Moody him
self that at the time he was buying
wheat last fall and paying 'from 5 to 6
cents inorc per bushel'than other buyers,
he shipped to San Francisco and got bet
ter prices than anyone else and there
fore could bid higher and this explains
why he could ship by the V. P. railroad
and pay the regular rates of freight.
Knowing your paper to be perfectly re
liable and always on the right side, I
would like for you to answer the follow
ing question for the benefit of invself
and friends: Why can't other buyers
ship wheat to Snn Francisco and pay the
fame prices in this countv as Mr.
Moody, less the frefghts from here to
Thn Dalles? Farmer.
There is nothing to hinder them that
we know of, but if they did we do not
believe they would make anything like
five or six cents a bushel by the process.
But the story is not new to the Chroni
cle ; we have heard it lefore. It was
invented to explain how Mr. Moody
could pay within two cents of the Port
land price for wheat, while the freight
rate was. 10 2-5 cents a bushel from here
to Portland by the railroad. Its main
object was to deceive the farmer and
lead him to lclieve that Mr. Moody was
not being used as the tool of the Union
Pacific in the effort of that company to
crush the people's boats. But it wont
hold water. It won't boar the light. If
M. A. Moody had not been the tool of
the railroad company he would have
shipped Ids wheat by the Regulator,
when, as everybody knows, her rates
were 4 2-5 cents a bushel less than those
of the railroad. More than this, every
pound of Klickitat wheat bought by M.
A. Moody was ferried across the river
and transferred to thenars, at an addi
tional cost of surely not less than fifty
ents a ton ,u hen the same wheat .could
bave been transferred to. the Regulator
from the platform at .Rockland without
"thin extra rant TTa.l l A r i.. .
l-sn obtaining special favors from the
railroad be could have saved at least five
cents a bushel on every bushel of his
Klickitat wheat by shipping it by the
Regulator. He was smart enough to
save the cent a bushel by shipping to
San Francisco so he says. Why was he
not smart enough to save five cents more
by tihipping by the Regulator?'"
JUST YI AT TIE SAID IIP, WOULD
to:
he following telegram is clipped from
"the Oregonian of this date :
Salem, Or., Jan. 12.: Governor Pen
noyer today directed a letter to the
river and harbor committee, in which
he expresses the hope that tho commit
tee can incorporate in the bill of appro
priation for rivers and harbors, the sum
of $431,500 for a portage railway from
the foot of The Dalles to above Celilo
falls, on the Columbia river..- This ap
propriation has the unqualified recom
mendation of the board of engineers, ap
pointed to report o the advisability of
, building a boat railway between the
two places to overcome the obstructions
to navigation.
The sending of this letter is in bar-
mony with a promise the governor made
some time ago to W. E, Rinehart, of
this city when he announced bis inten
tion, and the Chronicle published it,
of doing alt in his , power to secure a
portage around the dalles obstructions.
The governor has done precisely what
the Cuboniclk said he wonld do.

the tollowing bit of advice given by the

; littic u. i ,:! i-i:, the bill to the
senate in'a single clay : what is the use
of congressional del-ate ahunt it? The
senate ought to bo able to act on a
question exhaustively discussed last
year and then decide without delay or
talk. If the bill goes to the president at
all he will not take weeks or even days
to make up his mind what to do, con
gress may be sure. The republican
party is exceedingly willing to meet this
issue before the people. All it has to
ask is that the industries and trade of
the country shall be harmed as little as
possible while the question is pending
in congress. After that the democrats
will see how wise they have been

from all the Gray's harbor country, and
the whole beach is being staked off in

black sand found along the beach of the
ocean and many attempts have been
made to wash it out, -but owing to the

A Buseian physician has made a scries
of elaborate experiments to test the old
time notion that fluids taken with food
weaken the action of the gastric juice.
He finds that "to take fluids with the
meals is almost as important an adjunct
to digestion as is the mastication of solid
food preparatory to swallowing it," but
that, as at other times, there., is a limit
to the amount of fluid one can swallow
with impunity and comfort.
. That journalistic accuracy in Arkansas
is receiving some much needed attention
is evinced, by the following, from the

claiming to be John the Baptist. We
have taken great pains to look the mat

Title and Plain "Miter."
: Not many years ago the title of doctor
was considered justly as au honor and
.an evidence of sonnd education and
training.
The extraordinary" fondness iii ' this
country for titles of all kinds, especially
those of doctor, professor and colonel or
Gome military equivalent, has taken
away all the prestige from the. name..
The druggist at the corner is a "doctor,"
the chiropodist is a "professor," and the
advertising columns of some newspapers
are emblazoned with pictures of these
long haired "doctors" and "professors."
To a man "who has been a groom the
bestowal of "doctor medicinae," no
doubt, still confers an honor; but, on the
whole, the title has become rather a
trade mark and a convenient means of
unobtrusive advertisement rather than a
badge of : distinction or evidence of
scholarly attainment.
There seems to be a growing feeling
that, after all, the title of "mister" is as
noble a one as a gentleman needs or can
desire. '
This is the title that is almost now a
distinction among medical men, who
feel their own strength and rest on their
consciousness of being masters of their
arf the good old title of "mister," which
some of the best men in the profession
find ample for all social and professional
purposes. It is certainly infinitely more
honorable than any nnacademio or un
warranted use of the title of "doctor."
And I see many indications that this
view is shared b'y the professional and
by many who think they have a right by
courtesy to something more. New York
Herald.

"How now! What ho! dear sir," Baid
an old rounder, stopping me at the Wash
ington statue in front of Independence
hall, ."will yon allow me, beneath the
shadow of this historic building, to speak
a few words to you?"
"Well, go ahead," 1 said.
"For about the fiftieth time I read the
Declaration of Independence today, ""lie
continued, -"and I pondered long and
deeply over it. I believe the wholejrist
of it is that all men are free and equaL
Am I not right?'' .
"Certainly. But whaj; have 1 to do
with ttat?t I asked. -
"Everything, my dear sir; everything,"
he replied. "You are a good American,
I know, and that is the reason why I
wfehed to say to you that men are not
free and equal in. all cases." -
"In what cases are they net?"
"Well, take for instance our own case,"
he said with all seriousness. "True, we
are both "free, but we are not equal. You
have enough money about you to buy a
bracer. I have not. . Therefore we are
not equal. Do I make myself clear?"
"Perfectly. Hero yon are. Will ten
place us upon an equal footing?"
"Undoubtedly. Would that all Amer
icans thought as much of our funda

Names of London Streets.
I don't wonder that reformers shudder
when it comes to the names of streets.
I myself have counted twenty-six King
streets, sixteen Queen streets and thir
teen Duke streets in this town! The
same name will repeat itself in street,
road, place, crescent and square, upper
and lower, east and west, until the brain
begins to soften. We've spent more
shillings in directing cabs to Gloucester
something or other, when we ought to
have gone to Gloucester something else,
than I dare tell.
Bob declares hell be chained to an ad
dress book hereafter. I suppose a good
deal of this repetition is due to the
greediness with which London swallows
up town after town. But really there is
no excuse for baptizing the same streets
several times. One street in our neigh
borhood, not half a mile long, has three
names. It's a blessing to get into Picca
dilly, Oxford street and the Strand, for
then I know where I am? but now I
come to think of it, I don't know any
thing of the Bort, for Piccadilly runs into
Knights bridge, that street runs into
several things, the Strand becomes. Fleet
street at Temple Bar or, perhaps I
ought to. say, at the place where Temple
Bar once stood and Oxford street loses
itself in Holborn. London Cor. Kate

The Glow Worm's Light.
- The English glow worm is the wing
less female of a winged, beetle. . Some
suppose tbat the light she bears is be
stowed for her protection to scare away
the nightingale and other nocturnal
birds. Others, however, believe that the
gift of brightness is the very lnre by
which her foes, are assisted to jliscover.
and devour her. : Much speculation has
been indulged in as to the nature of the
glow worm's light, which is not put out
by water nor seemingly capable of giv
ing forth any beat. It has been asserted
that the light diffusing substance con
tains phosphorus, but this has never
been proved. Certainly it is incapable
of communicating ignition to anything.

A "ticking tombstone" draws many
visitors to the cemetery of the . London
Tract meeting house on the boundary
line between Delaware and Pennsyl

was settled by Quakers from London,
and the meeting bouse is quaint and
venerable. A constant ticking comes
from one of the old tombstones; and
while many superstitious ears listen to
the sound with awe,- practical people say
that the strange noie is caused by a
