Much has been said by the press op
posed to the set of resolutions presented
by the Astoria Chamber of Commerce
concerning improvements between Asto
ria and Portland. Astoria has been ac
cused of misrepresenting the fact9, but
the accusation lacks confirmation. Now
if this same prees wish to be fair, what
aave they to say to J. B. Montgomery's
tirade and falsehood and misrepresenta
tion, in an argument C so-called) to Chair
man Blanchard of the river and harbor
committee, yesterday. People who are
not acquainted with Montgomery and
his methods of obstruction in Oregon to
any and every project that does not con
tribute directly to the corporations with
which he is intimatelv concerned, mav
credit his statements; but those who do
know him will receive his statements for
just what they are, malicious perversion
of the truth. It is those who do not
know him whom we should inform be
fore his argument brings trouble to the
honest purposes in view by the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce, and with the
idea of aiding to counteract such influ
ence The Chkoxicms suggests that the
time has arrived for The Dalles to speak
up, and that a meeting should be called
at once to properly set this matter right
in Washington city, at least so far as the
people of Eastern Oregon are concerned.
Montgomery is most undoubtedly paid
for the work in which he is engaged. As
toria probably has no attorney in court,
bat her interests are our interests, and
. The Dalles should stand by Astoria.
3There is no paper on our exchange
riist'that we read with so much pleasure
; as we do the Klamath Star. Peter the
Poet seems to be a whole-souled, kind
hearted, sound-livered, healthy-stomached
fellow, who invariably looks at
sthe bright side of life. 'He is as far re
moved from the crank and demagogue as
it is possible to be in these days when
the crank and demagogue bacillqs is in
baled with every breath of air. There
is never a cloud lowering over Klamath
land and the Star always shines brightly
from a clear sky. May the shadow of
Peter the Poet never grow less.
The Northwest Reform Journal thinks
" that government whisky at . cost would
destroy the saloons.. Jt proposes to carry
" out this "reform" on the ruins of the
prohibition party and trusts the alliance
- and people's party conventions will take
up the question of "whisky at cost" and
"knock the attempt to organize the pro
hibition party in good shape." "Gov
. -eminent whisky at cost" ought, for a
fact, to be a powerful rallying cry.
Every blear-eyed whisky bloat on the
Oregon footstool ought to subscribe at
once for the Reform Journal. No charge
for this advertisement. '
The telegraphic accounts of scale from
Florida to California, set to shame what
experience Oregon has had from her
sister state on this matter. It is a sub
ject for national legislation, and the
Chronicle calls upon the Oregon deli
gation to put in a bill that will settle
the difficulty effectually.
Peter the Poet says "the first thing an
Oregon corpse does after waking up and
assuring himself that he is dead, hi to
run for the legislature." Peter is hard
on Oregon corpses. '
The Mines In California.
Kivebside, Cal. Feb. . 17. The Janu
ary production of tin at the Temescal
tin mines a few miles from Riverside was'
shipped to Balfour, Guthrie A Co., San
Francisco, last Friday. The shipment
amounted to 44,311 pounds, and was a
very superior grade of tin. - The mines
are increasing their production steadily,
and we understand that some" very rich
ore has been developed lately that will
very materially add to the value of the
- deposit. New shafts are being sunk.
.and, when deep enough; drifts will be
rnn from them lh different directions if
the indications are favorable. -Miners
are also at work prospecting a lode re
cently . discovered on . the top of the
mountain, back of the s:te of the pro-
posed reduction works. It is evident
that there is tin scattered over the
tate for several miles.

The French Deteetiv
Every good detective has to some ex
tent his own way of working, which is
varied, of coarse, according to the cir
cumstances. We may say, however, that
as a rule the Parisian agent has a freer
hand and works in a somewhat bolder,
more self reliant manner than his Eng
lish colleague. This follows from his
isolation; he is less helped by "informa
tion received" and too badly paid to buy
it, so- he is forced to acquire it by his
wn exertions.
A favorite method is ' to assume the
disguise of a workin groan or hawker,
and here it may be said that the use of
an elaborate makeup exists now only in
books. Every zealous hand has his own
little wardrobe, and the simpler the bet
ter. The most effectual dis cruises are
those which best assimilate the wearer
to common life. The Parisian has two
in particular the blouse and the work
man's apron.
"fahadowing" is always done by two
men, one some little way behind the
other. Each carries a change of dress
to wit, a blouse wound sash wise around
the waist and a casquette carried inside
tne shirt. The moment the first man
fancies himself perceived he gives place
to the second, and dropping behind
sups the blouse over his jacket and ex
changes his felt hat for the casquette.
lhus metamorphosed he resumes his
place. London Saturday Review
Tile Hud of Egypt.
Egypt, says Herodotus, is a gift of the
i.i ne. a truer or more pregnant word
was never spoken. Of course it is just
equally true, in a way, that Bengal is a
gift of the Granges, and thaf Louisiana
and Arkansas are a gift of the Missis
sippi, but with this difference, that in
the case of the Nile the dependence is
rar more obvious, far freer from disturb
ing or distracting details. For that rea
son, and also because the Nile is so much
more familiar to most English speaking
folk than the American rivers, I choose
Egypt as my type of. a regular mudland.
But in order to understand it fully you
mustn't stop all your time in Cairo and
the Delta; you mustn't view it onlv from
the terrace of Shepheard's hotel or the
rocky platform of the Great Pyramid at
Gizeh; you must push up country early
to Luxor and the First Cataract. It is
up country that Egypt unrolls itself vis
ibly before your eyes in the very process
of making. It is there that the full im
portance of good, rich, black mud first
forces itself upon you by undeniable evi

Wheat Doea Not Crow VfSiI.
The existence of names- for wheat in
the most ancient languages- confirms the
evidence of its great antiquity and of its
cultivation in the more- temperate parts
of Europe, Asia, and Africa. From the
evidence adduced by botanists- of high
standing, it seems highly- improbable
that wheat has- never been, found grow
ing persistently in a wild state-,. although
it lias often been asserted by- poetsv trav
elers and historians..
In the Odyssey,, for example-,, we- are
told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily
without the aid of man, . Diodorua re
peats the tradition that Osiris found
wheat and barley- growing, promiscu
ously in Palestine, but neither this nor
other reputed discoveries of wheat
growing wild seem at all credible, see
ing that itr does not appear to be endow
ed with the power of persistency, ex
cept unrder continued eulture. St. Louis

lHokena u an Art Critic.
The son of a neighbor of Dickens, then
a very young artist indeed, quite-a boy
had painted his first picture, the sub
ject,being an aged knight in full armor,
apparently having recently returned
from the wars, and overcome with fa
tigue. Finding himself unable to reach
his ancestral castle, he sinks exhausted
on a fallen tree in a sort of orchard, anc
some cottage children bring- him some
fruit to recruit his exhausted strength.
Dickens took great interest in the young
artist who, by the way, is now very
eminent and greatly admired his pic
ture, especially the hgure of the old
knight; but, "My dear fellow," he said,
"those apples, won't be of any use that
old gentleman requires burned brandy
to bring him round r Temple Bar.
A Word About Stage Dialogue. .
The art of writing good stage dialogue
is still inchoate. It must be natural,
and yet when it is natural it is beneath
the dignity of the drama, and must be
elevated again to the proper pitch. Man
ifestly the stage is not to blame for this,
but the world of society, which is too
loquacious and frivolous, and lives with
out regard to the compensations, keep
ing and culminations of art. - Only the
esoteric essence of our life is now fit for
dramatic representation, and the dram
atiats who can see and adequately por
tray that essence are shall we say he
is not numerous. Lippincott s Maga

Theology a Progreaaive Science.
. j. neoiogy is always as niucb a pro-
gressive'science as geology. If 1,000 of
the wisest, purest, most intellectual,
most healthy scholars in Christendom
today were to formulate a -creed out of
the New Testament' scriptures; as they
are known today, that theology state
ment could not remain the same to the
date of A. D. 2892. The power, the
thought, the study of a thousand .years
would throw it into new forms of ex
pression,, while the substance would re
main the same. Beacon. -
