Since writing a paragraph on the sub-
ject of jute bags, we learn that the Walla
Walla works cover a whole block. More
than 100,000 sacks were made this year;
which by reason of competition, greatly
reduced the entire stock used by the
farmers, and it is thought that within a
short time enough sacks will be manu
factured to fill the demand for eastern
Washington.

Capt. Symons has returned from hie
investigation of Snake river above Hunt
ington, to see whether it is adapted for
steamboat navigation, and to make a re
port in regard to the necessity for draws
in the bridges built by the Union Pacific
across that stream. He went up as far
as Boise city, which is above the upper
fbridge. He makes no public ' report
i
a
re
concerning the river, but of the Boise
city natatorium, with dancing hall and
restaurant attached, he expresses him
Ipring in the hills about a mile back of
Jthe. city, and by boring there a plentiful
supply of hot water was secured. This
is ueed for filling the huge bath in the na
tatorium, and is also utilized for heating
houses. The water is very wholesome,
but has a little sulphur in it. The bath
is a favorite place ' of resort, and is a
credit to the city.
The state board of equalization are
in The Dalles today.- The president
of the board, Hon. J. P. O. Lownsdale of
of Portland, was compelled by sickness to
go home. They will not -.find an as
sessment in this county as it is in Mult
nomah, where it is said the county continue;-:
to assess mortgages at fifty per
cent of their face and allow them to be
deducted from assessments of individ-
als at their full value. This is the way
works: B has a piece of rea) estate
orth $400,000, which - is assessed at
250,000. On this piece of real estate is
mortgage for $150,000 which is de
ducted, leaving $100,000 for B to pay
taxes on. Now, this mortgage is as
sessed at half its value, or $75,000. Be
fore H mortgaged his valuable real es
tate he paid taxes on $250,000, but since
he made a money lender his guardian
the county has received taxes on only
$100,000 of real estate value, and on $75,
000 of mortgage value, a total value of
$ 175,000, a loss in assessment value of
$75,000. This filches the county, bur
dens the honest taxpayer, relieves the
manipulator and gives the money lender
a chance. 1
A member of the Marion delegation to
the assembly is. quoted as saying that
"there is not a thousand jute sacks sold
to the Oregon farmers in a year," and
he will therefore, perhaps, be found
standing in with, the Oregon ian corres
pondent, spectator, to prevent diverting
the labor of Oregon convicts from cast
ing stoves. Plainly speaking, such a
njan is unfit to represent the state in its
legislative assembly. "Not a thousand
jute sacKs soia to iariners in a year is
:one of the wildest exaggerations. Look'
Bat the millions of jute sacks going into
ships' hold at Portland and Astoria
year by year, and then qualify such an'
expression to harmonize with the facts,
if one can. It is very clear that there
are no wheat dealers yet discovered
liberal enough to donate these- sacks to
the farmers, and they must be paid for
in depreciation of the crop or some
other manner. Eastern Washington
farmers, who have the advantages of
cheap sacks, by reason of the labor of
convicts in the Walla Walla peniten
tiary, tell qnite a different story aH to
the wisdom of the Olympia assembly in
this matter, aud when the Salem Kolous
assemble it will enhance the interests of
Oregon if such gentlemen as thi Marion
county delegate are relegated to mihordi
nate positions on the comuiHtuea. ' . '

' Mr. F. A. Cook, the traveling sales-
mau of this district for Wad hams & Co.,
Portland, is now returning from his last
tour of the Inland Empire for 1892, and
is stopping over in The Dalles today. We
do not Matter Mr.' Cook a bit when we
credit him with being one of the ex
ceptionally . few traveling salesmen
whose mind and attention is diverted- to
thinking and talking of methods calcu
lated to benefit the producer! His ob
servations have lead him to advise great
er production of stock hogs. He has
noticed that the farmer who has hogs to
sell this fail does not complain of hard
times like the extensive wheat producer
and some others. Mr. Clark says Klicki
tat county could raise a million
dollars' worth of hogs, and the cry from
packers would be for more. If the fig
ures were published showing the sum of
money sent from Oregon to the east, for
hams, beacon, lard, butter,- eggs, etc.,
commodities which may be .readily and
economically produced here, it would
paralyze' the public. He is of the opin
ion that large packing establishments
located in The Dalles, would buppiy
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma,' and other
points of the Pacific northwest, at a con
siderable advance on' prices) paid' in
Chicago, Kansas city,' etc.,- because of
the great saving in freights. Thk
Cheoniclk has advocated this branch of
business for The Dalles hitherto, and we
are pleased to find in Mr. Clark a first
class assistant, from whom, in a short
time, we hope to Obtain some solid facts
and figures.
Last year Oregon's thirty -one county

In the report of court proceedings in
Portland recently, in a cause wherein
the so-called "detective" service figured
extensively, the reporter says: - "At the
evening session,' Mr.-Henry E. McGinn
scored the Pinker ton national detective
agency. He compared it with a certain
animal of the southern states which first
lulls -'its victim to sleep and then sucks
bis life blood. It was composed of men
who would accept any occupation in
order to escape labor by which they
could earn a living. Men who wanted
to get rid of the responsibilities of life
were employed by the agency, and one
of their duties was to first tempt a' man
to 'commit, a crime and then profit by
the result. These men traveled from
one city to another, like tramps, with
the exception that they were occasion
ally compelled to live under assumed
names. Pinkertonism was a monstrous
evil, born in iniquity and reared in
wickedness, and should be abolished.
He cited a case in which the Piukertons
had induced a man to enter a bank with
the intention of robbing it, and then
bad him arrested. He' would like to
have the law so that no private detect
ive's evidence could be accepted unless
it was corroborated."

When the morning Missouliau first
appeared in its reduced size,' brought
about by bard times'and the democratic
triumph, the editor playfully observed t
"We feel this morning very much like
festive Samson when the fair Deliak -clipped
his whiskers."
In, passing sentence upon Williams,:
the colored brute of Portland, convicted,
of rape ; after listening to his plea for'
leniency, and a promise to become a
better man, Judge Bradshaw' said : "It " .
is extremely proper that Williams
should become a better man ; in fact, a. -much
better man. The court further
paid that the crime of which the pris
oner was convicted of attempting is on
of the most atrocious on the record ...
and ever has been so. To be sure th
crime was not so flagrant as it 'might"
have been. The prisoner bad not suc
ceeded in carrying out his purpose,' and 1
this fact would be credited to him' ia
years of servitude. Therefore the judg
ment of the court . was that William "
should pass the next seven years of hi
life in the Salem penitentiary." The re
port says Williams, apparently, could
not realize for a few minutes just what
had struck him, and had the sen ten c
been for seventy years he would not
have -, appeared - more " astonished.
"Why," said he, "I expected not over
four years, and thought I would get of
with two."
