Union Pacific Stealing;.
A short time since, the merchants of
Arlington learned that ' they could save
about 20 per cent, of freight charges on
merchandise from Portland by shipping
through the Dalles, Portland and Astoria
Navigation company. Thereupon, J. W.
Smith ordered a carload of. salt shipped
this way. The goods came in due time,
the Record says, with a net saving
of $17.00, after paying the railroad
company the amount . to which it
was entitled ; but after the same was
delivered by the drayman there Mr. S.
was informed that the railroad had as
sumed to transact this whole business for
him, and that their agent here would be
held accountable for the full amount of
that company's charges, at full rates from
Portland to Arlington. Under this com
bination of circumstances, Mr. Smith
paid the over charge, but has not aban
doned the idea that merchants and
shippers on this side of The Dalles can
save quite a sum by patronizing cheap
river transportation that far. The leg
itimate charge in this little instance
would be : From Portland to The Dalles,
two-thirds the distance 15 cents, from
Dalles to Arlington, one-third the dis
tance, 19 cents ; but by adding a $25,00
steal the transaction results as above.
We are informed that some of the Con
don merchants have been treated in a
similar manner. The matter will be
properly and speedily investigated.

Stockings Kept, Blwck.
. Black stockings are apt to assume a
greenish look after repeated washings.
We are- told that a -simple way of pro5
serving the color is to wash them in soap
free of soda, and in the last rinsing water
to add a tablespoonful of good vinegar.
Wring them out and clap them into
shape. A hot iron tends to destroy the
color, particularly if they are wet.

Editor Chronicle: : .
The wheelbarrow-brigade, .bound for
the world's fair, passed through town at
11:30 today. The outfit consisted of a
wheelbarrow, one woman and 'three
men. But let me state rieht here.' S3
regards the so called female, we have our
doubts, because all wear pants. A slight
delay in their travel was caused by .the
fact of their getting ditched about a
mile east of this place. The exnlanation
of the disaster was owinsr to a. loaf of
bread purchased from Mrs. "B." of the
corner grocery.
After tugging along the distance
named the party found the burden to
be "more thev conld bear. The rest of
their effects failing to equalize with the
Dread, all was overtoppled into the
ditch. But in time all difficulties were
overmastered, and all proceeded ener
getically in the direction of your city,
where in the course of a few hours it is
safe to say you will "meet them" and
'you'll greet them" in the old familiar
way.. Yonsox.
"Want a Write-up.
Referring to a class of outside naners
that send representatives around, at
opportunities, to write up a city "for
revenue only." The Astoria Herald
says : "This city is blessed with them
just now, and it is probable that from
$5,000 to $10,()00 can be raised among
Astoriana for this purpose. The news
papers of Astoria receive less than S800
a month from the advertisers in Astoria.
These papers are expected to boom the
town, mail sample copies east to induce
immigration, employ over sixty persons.
spend all their money in Astoria, but
when it comes to raising $5,000 or $10,-
000 to advertise the citv. it must tie
given to a newspaper from 100 to . 10,000
miles away. Twenty pages in the Ex
aminer or 100 pages in the Telegram,
will not be as much benefit to Astoria as
one column of facts .published in an
Astoria paper. These write-ups are
simply boom articles, and are so recog
nized by intelligent men throughout the
country, and it is money wasted. The
three papers published in Astoria oav
out to their employes every month not
less than $1,800 or over $20,000 every
year. Every dollar of this money is
8 pent in Astoria. The solicitors of out
side papers come to Astoria, stay a week
spend $20, and take from $5,000 to $10,-
000 away with , them. This mav be
business, but it is a contemptible'mean
business."
