TO Our Friends and Patrons.
fLa i -
WE HAVE rather neglected our Advertising of late, not
because we had nothing to sell; but we had nothing
especially new to offer, and preferred to wait until we could
say something of interest. We are, and have been for some
time, busily engaged in placing our orders for Spring and
Summer Goods and feel justified in announcing that we
shall have the FINEST ASSORTMENT and the BEST
GOODS in all our lines that has, over been seen in The
Dalles. We have secured some genuine novelties in the
Dry Goods Department, and the ladies will certainly con
sult their best interests by deferring their purchases until
after their arrival, of which we shall give you due notice.
Keep both eyes on this space and we will certainly surprise
you, not only with the goods, but the prices at which we
shall sell them. We mean business and propose to have
your patronage, if LOW PRICES and the BEST
GOODS will accomplish it. Yours Respectfully,
The Dalles Daily Chronicle.

MISTAKE?? ECONOMY.
An Error Which Should Have Been Dis
covered a Little Sooner.
From The Oregonian, 27cb.
The defeat of the bill for a portage
railway around The Dalles is to be re
gretted. This was not a local project,
though it was defeated by local in
fluences. Its benefits would have been
been shared by the whole state. The
obstruction this improvement is de
signed to circumvent lies across the
main route of communication between
Oregon and the east. Increased cost of
transportation due to it affects every
part of the state which trades with the
east, whether situated on the lower
Columbia or the Willamette: Reduction
of the cost of ' shipment by this route
would bring down cost of shipment on
all competing routes, through what
Part of tI,e 6e- It is an error to i
ever
con
ceive the Columbia river merely as a
route for shipments for Eastern Oregon
wheat to the sea.
It is the one great channel of direct
communication between all of Oregon
and the rest of the United States; the
main land conduit of all our domestic
trade, both import and export. Cost of
transportation by this route cannot be
educed without compelling reduction of
ates on all other routes, whether
hrough the state of Washington or
uthern Oregon. The whole state, in-
eed the whole northwest, is interested
in the opening of the Columbia river.
It was shortsighted and mistaken
economy to organize the senators from
Southwestern Oregon against the port
age railway bill. There is hardly any
equal expenditure of money from which
the whole state can realize equal benefit.
Thousands of dollars have been
appropriated for wagon roads, which
lave been of less real benefit to the peo
ple of the localities directly affected
than would be the effective opening ot
the Columbia river to the people of the
remotest corner of the state. It seems
easier to get money . from the
state of Oregon for local jobs and senti
mental extravagance than for large pub
lic benefits.
The appropriation committee has
agreed on a pension appropriation bill.
It carries an appropriation of $1GG,400,
000, an increase of $20,662,050 over the
appropriation for the current year.
The ballots atOlympia yesterday show

Dr. Rinehart finished moving into his
elegant residence, at the head of Laugh
lin street yesterday. The doctor de
serves congratulations on having one of
the most picturesque locations and the
handsomest residence in the city. He
has, in addition to all the modern im
provements, put electric lights in every
room, irom basement to attic. There
are but few ci'ies on the coast of the
size of The Dalles that can boast of as
many beautiful houses as this can.

Trapping; the Guilty.
Paris, Jan. 27. Franqueville, the ex
amining magistrate, has found true bills
of accusation against Deputy and ex
Minister of Finance Rouvier; Senator
Albert Grevy, brother of the late presi
dent of the republic; Senator Reral,
Senator Deves and Senator Leon Ra
nault, on charges of corruption in con
nection with the Panama canal com
mittee. Proceedings against Rouvier
and other defendants originated through
the discovery of counterfoils of the so
called Thierre checks, which were sup
posed to have been burned. They were
discovered in the following manner : A
committee appointed by the chamber of
deputies to investigate the charges of
corruption in connection with the Pan
ama investigation received an anony
mous letter declaring that the counter
foils had been photographed, and giving
the name and address of the photog
rapher. The matter was followed up
and the commissary of police at once
found the missing counterfoils.
Down on The French.
Panama, Jan. 27. The newspaper El
Porvenir, of Cartagena, publishes a let
ter from Panama, revealing an alleged
violation of the contract on the part of
the Panama canal company in the trans
fer of material to the Panama railroad.
The letter states that in August last the
company effected the sale of 951 cars
and 28 locomotives for $400,000. This,
according to the letter, is regarded as a
fraudulent attempt to swindle the re
public of Colombia. The newspaper
Observador, of Panama, is opposed to
further negotiations with the French.
It is said their dealings are dishonorable,
and no good can result to Colombia from
negotiating with them.
