Mr. David A; Wells has been making
some computations on silver, and . finds
there are now in the vaults of the United
States treasury . $400,000,000 worth of
that metal. This makes 11,000 tons, and
the government is buying every week -12
tons additional, to add to this store. The
stored silver furnishes an interesting sub
ject for computations. A cubic inch of
silver weighs 0.38 pounds, and a cnbic
foot 657 pounds, so there is on hand 53,
600 cubic feet. It ' would take 220,000
men to carry it, each carrying 100
pounds. 7 If coined into dollars and piled
up in a column, it would reach 675 miles.
This immense amount of silver is in dol
lars, $348,679,253 ; small coin, $15,848,
620; silver bars, $41,570,253 ; trade dol
lars, $2,394,260 ; total, 409,161,326, and
yet buying seven tons a day.
The Dispatch says : Mr. Sinnott, the
popular proprietor of the Umatilla
bouse at The Dalles, left for home last
evening after meeting a host of friends
in this city during the past week. There
is only one fault with Mr. Sinnott, and
that is, he will persist in being a Repub
lican when he has all the indications of
a Democrat. .
The Chronicle wondes if the last
sentence does not contain a covert refer
ence to a rumor that has prevailed here
since the Colonel's return, , to the effect
that the late convention drank up all the
wiekey'in Portland, and then .burned
ttie Troutdale distillery so that the
democrats might be compelled to keep
sober during their convention.
"
Whatever men may think or say con
cerning the -affects of a high tariff on the
price of farm .products, the fact remains
that,-the .price of grain today, averages
'nearly -60 per cent, higher than it did 30
."years ago, while the prices of dry goods,
; groceries, clothing, boots and shoes, and
-"farm machinery have meanwhile been
''reduced all of 50. per cent., so that the
purchasing power of a bushel of grain is
today zoo per cent, greater than In 1862.
Sheep raising in Walla Walla county
is not always a speedy. way to fortune, if
the following from the Statesman is true.
"That paper says : "A gentleman of this
-city about a year ago started a man out
"with a band of sheep on the range.. A
-few days ago he received the following
from him; 'If you want me to remain
here any ' longer you'll have to. get
another band of sheep: them's all
gone."
-The Telegram is booming Governor
Pennoyer as Oregon's candidate for a
place on the democratic national ticket
The object of the: Telegram is briefly
.stated thus : "We want to give Oregon
prominence in - national affairs and this
is the opportunity to do it." This beats
an exhibit at the world's .fair, in one re
spect, at least, . it costs nothing but
. wina.
While honest republicans and honest
democrats in congress are fighting' for
honest' money, the Illinois supreme
court has decided that old - boots, de
. cayed beans, ancient eggs and rancid
batter are full legal lender when forced
upon hired men in payment for their
services. - - ..-
Goreraor Ferry tor an Open River.
Uncle Lin as Hubbard, though com
paratively a stranger in Eastern Oregon,
is intensely interested in an open river;
As a result, he has sent out at quite con
siderable cost, over one hundred photo
graphs of the vhalebacks Wetmbre and
Colgate Hoyt passing through the Sault
St. . Marie canal.' -' They have gone to
- members of congress Jnewspa per editors,
senators, governors of states and other
public men. The photographs - have
ben very kindly received by everybody,
from our own Binger down, and here is
a sample acknowledgment received from
Gov. Ferry of Washington. .," . .;
Olympia, Wash., April 9, 1892.
Linus Hubbard, Esq., .: . , ,
Dkab Sib: I have received your let
ter of the 2d inst. and photographs of
oi ine wnaieDacic steamers U. W. wet
more and Colgate Hoyt. I fully appre
ciate the importance of the early' com
pletion -of the Cascade locks, and the
benefit that , will be derived therefrom
by the citizens of Eastern Washington
as well as Eastern Oregon. I will urge
our senators in ongres and our member
to give their earnest personal attention
to this matter. Very truly yours,- -
Eusha P. Fekby.
An Unjust Criticism,
From a letter which appeared in Sat
urday's Chronicle headed "An Arbi
trary Rule," some fair minded citizen
might be eA to believe that an injus
tice .bad been committed against: a
patron of our school. That such has
not been the case will appear when all
the facts are known concerning this parr
ticular child's absence. " For an absence
on March 14th she told her teacher she
went to see the train come in. On
March 18th she got a little mad on her
dress and said she would not come.' On
March 25th she wanted to stay at home.
On March 29th it rained a little but the
child "was excused by the teacher.
April 8th the little girl came tardy... On
thai day preceding this tardiness the
little girl's mother was at school, where
the teacher explained to her the condi
tions regarding the absence.. No excuse
was offered verbally at that time, nor
since in writing.
As to the "boy who plays truant or
absents himself to engage in .a game of
hookey" we are of the opinion that some
other kind of punishment which would
act more directly npon him would be
better. - " . .. -
The rule itself I believe is sufficiently
mild to meet the wishes of all good citi
zens who have the welfare of our school
at heart. - '" r M. W. Smith.
