It is a subject of general remark that
there are more birds in the country, par
ticularly of one or two apparently new
varieties,' than have ever been see ! t
this time of year .before." They are here
in thousands and seem generally to sub
sist on the insects that are so plentiful
on all our fruit and ehade trees.
If Governor Pennoyer's well meant
efforts to secure an appropriation -from
the general government ' for the dalles
portage shall result, as it ' seems' possi
ble, in the abandonment of the works at
the Cascades, it were better a thousand
times that he should never have written
a letter to the chairman of the river and
harbor committee. If we cannot get
appropriations for both purposes, every
effort should be put forth to hold up the
hands of Mr. Hermann in his fight for
the Cascade appropriation.- A meeting
of The Dalles board of trade is called
for tomorrow evening, - to considergthis
matter, and" doubtless an earnest protest
will be sent to Washington against the
thought of abandoning the works at the
Cascades. Mr. Hermann's position is
the right ohS. If one or' other, of the
two works is to be abandoned, let it the
portage and the state can build that.
But on the other hand if the work' at
the Cascades is to be carried on, as it
has been for nearly a score of years, let
us have the "lortage. We have no
direct interest in a work that there is no
hope of seeing finished for another gen
eration. It is more than likely, tbe
dispatches to the contrary, . notwith
standing, that this is the same - position
that the governor himself lakes.
. Prohibition and Free Trade. .
Editor Chronicle : - . . '
; A few of the citizens of our city, in
cluding myself, were enticed last even
ing to attend an alleged ' temperance
meeting at the court house, to hear
Messrs. Wolfenbarger and Huckins pre
sent, their views on the prohibition
question, by both song and speech.. The
first part of the program was well rend
ered and received, but the second part
by Mr. Wolfenbarger, (Wolf -in -bear-gear),
was the most rank free trade
speech that I have ever heard. --
He started out by comparing the Mills
and McKinley bills, with a leaning very
much in favor of the former, stating
that the latter was a piece of the most
iniquitous legislation that was ever
perpetrated on the American people;
he claimed that in 1888, when the Mill's
bill was before congress, there was only
an average difference " of seven 'per cent,
between it and. the then existing tariff,
but that the McKinley bill, which passed
in 1890, increased the average tariff from
forty-seven to sixty per cent. After
listening to a few more such statements,
I left the room in disgust, '
' I do not think that any "Fair Minded
Man" will believe that these people are
working in the interest of the prohibi
tion party, but are employed, by the
democrats for purposes' best known to
themselves - '. ,
The- meeting last night," reminded me
of the street fakir, who employs a troupe
of singers to attract a crowd, after which
he proceeds to swindle the people by
offering them a small piece of soap,
supposed to contain a twenty- dollar
greenback,' all for the small sum of one
dollar.

; HOW TO. PLEASE THE GIRLS. .
Soma - Flmln . Talk to- Voting Men Who
Tnlnk Themaelvea Pretty Poor. -
- From the time yon begin to pay atten
tion to any set of trirls you want to study
to please them, and you want to keep
on studying as long as you live. ' Don t
try .to get out of it by saying that you
haven't much money, and - that every
thing that girls like costs an awful lot.
The poorest of you manage to. find
money enough to keep yoursel vea on good
terms with the boys. , Tou have some
habit or indulgence which ' you spend
money - to gratify. Think the matter
over-and make np yonr mind which you
like best the boys, your own pet gratifi
cations or the girls. , If you can't- put
the girls first you had better drop them.
It may be hard to do, but it's easier and
less humiliating than to have them drop
you. If you haven't . much to do with,
do the best you can with what you have.
No more will be expected tf you . than
what you can do.
- Don't drop , into sentimental diamal
nesa because you can't buy an opera bos
like some 'city swell, or drive a fast
horse like some smart . fellow in the
country. " It is not so - much the cost of
what vou do as the way you do H that
the girl will notice" and talk about. ; If
yon'U be man . enough to study a girl's
tastes and gentleman enough to think
about them Teal hard,- you will find
ways of showing what sort of stuff is
in yon, no matter how poor you are.
Usually girls get up all the parties, and
the young men accept snch -affairs as
naturally as if thev were meals at home
or the boarding bouse, or something
else to which they are entitled, iutftead
of special courtesies, which deserve
special recognition. It isn't custom for
a young fellow to get up parties on his
own account, but he ought to have
enough manliness and manners to devise
some means of returning the - compli
ment... " ;. .'
If he can't do it with his own purse
and brains he can get some other fellow
to help. Any two or three clever yonng
fellows can fipxl plenty of ways of enter
taining or ani?lng their entertainers if
they will pool . their brains and pocket
books. If they're not clever, the best
thing thejr can do is to make themselves
so-as soon as possible, for tbey can't ever
expect to be "solid" with the girls with
out it. ' . .
Don 't imagine yourselves generous, be
cause .you spend time thinking, what
lovely things you would do for the girls
if you only had lots of money. " Any
fool can do that and yet "die as mean as
a skinflint. it takes thinking and work
and' self denial for any one to be gener
ous unless - he has a great deal more
money than he knows what to do with,
and nobody ever knew a man as rich' as
that. Besides there are plenty of ways
of doing nice things for the girls with
out spending :much money, and youH
find out.somo of them if only you'll be
generous with your time and-wits. -
If you can afford cigars, or" even cig-
arettes, yon can afford to dQ the proper
thing for the girls. One common cigar
a day costs as much'as two good theater
tickets a month. Fewer scarfpins mean
more bouquets, and one bouquet will go
further towad making you ''solid" with,
a girl than a whole jeweler's case full of
scarfpins.. . - , -r
A suit of clothes a little less costly than
the one you meant to buy will save you
the price of tt ride or two for the girl,
who will care more for one ride than for
all the clothes you may try to show off
in..;. A girl's own clothes are all she can
pay attention to, unless tbe others are
shabby or fit badly. ' " '
No matter what you do, though, for
the dear creatures, you must put your
generosity into your manners as well as
into your doings. Don't act, as a good
many young fellows do, as if you were
paying a debt when you do anything
nice for the girls, for whatever they do
for '.you isn't -for pay it's a gift, and
must be returned in the same spirit if
yon wish it to be welcome. " Always do
a courteous deed as if you were receiving
a favor, for that's what it onght to ap
pear to your . mind, and that's what it
really amounts to if you are' the right
sort of a fellow. There are some young
men who pay their social debts with the
air of a man paying a bill, and the girls
are very quick to catch on to that sort
