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, busity 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 ever 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 Dafly Chroniele.

THE CASCADE RESERVATION.
Wn there a Job la the Measure?
If so by WkomT .
And
From the Ashland Tidings.
And now comes some of the argus-
eyed newspaper men of Oregon alleging
that they have discovered the job of the
great Cascade mountain' reservation.
It would give the state school land
board a big field for the operations by
which some of its members and their
friends have made thousands of dollars
during the past few years. The with
drawal from settlement of an area of
125 square miles in the proposed res-
rvation, as the latest proposition con-
emplates, would include 125,000 acres
hich in the 16th and 36th sections if
surveyed would fall to the state, school
and fund. The state would have the
ght to select lands in lieu of this,
herever within its boundaries it could
nd unappropriated government land.
As tho state has been receiving only
$1.25 per acre for all the lands it has
sold, the agents who have been working
with the speculators have been making
big margins by giving to purchasers the
key to lieu lands which in many cases.
for timber and other value, have been
worth from 5 to $20 an acre in open
market.
Another lump of 125,000 acres of lieu
lanas wouia give these speculators a
very nice job. This African may be
under the woodpile all right, but if he
is it shonld not interfere with the pro
posed timber reservation, which is de
manded by the highest interests of the
state. The proper thing to do is to fix
such prices upon the state lands as will
give the school fund the full benefit of
the mnnificent grant made by the gen
eral government. Clean out the nest of
leeches in the capitol and quit robbing
the school children of Oregon of their
birthright. What is the legislature sent
to Salem for if it can't meet snch prob
lems as this? Appropos of the above is
the following from a Salem paper:
'Governor Penhoyer dictated the fol
owing to G. W. Davis, clerk of state
school board. Tuesday : 'From this date
no selections of lands in lieu of lands
occupied by settlers under United States
laws, in sections -16 and 36, will be ap
proved by me, but all settlers on such
lands will be permitted to get title from
the state by paying the state the price
therefor. Nor will any selections be
made ih lieu of school sections in the
Cascade mountain reservations, nor will
any further selections of lieu lauds what
ever be approved, which are not already
partially completed at this date.' The
governor says his object is to have some
of the lands left for future generations

Following is an ex'ract from the re
port of the penitentiary commission of
the state of Washington, submitted to
the legislature now in session at Olyui
pia. It will be seen that while the man.
ufactureof jute bags pays nothing toward
support of tho prison it pays six percent
on the fund used in setting up the es
tablishment, buying material, etc. ; and
also that the product of the factory
forces a reduction in the market price of
bags. So there is an indirect benefit in
employing "prison labor in this way.
The commission says: t
"After many annoying .delays, conse
quent upon the importation of a large
amount of intricate machinery from
Great Britain, we were finally enable?
to start up the jute mill' In April," 1892,

and begin teaching the convicts bow to
operate the fifty looms, etc., used in the
manufacture of jute fabrics, a labor that
consumed several weeks and destroyed
considerable raw material. The first
few thousand grain bags turned oat
were hand-sewn. This was speedily
found a slow mode of turning them out,
and we purchased the most improved
rfd latest patent, power sewing and
hemming machines. By this addition
we have been able to turn out about
4,000 complete bags each working day.
The jute mill, and its necessary attach
ments, gives hard labor to an average of
215 convicts per day, and requires the
undivided time of two expert citizens.
"When we first placed grain bags on
the market, in July, 1892, the selling
price in Walla Walla was 8 cents a
bag. We offered bags of better quality
than the best Calcutta at 7J cents each.
The dealers dropped to seven cent-; and
gave purchasers credit. In order to
make sales for cash, as required by law,
we were compelled to drop to 6 cents,
at which price the market remained
firm to the close of the season. Had the
dealers dropped their price below
cents, we would have been unable to sell
a bag, because the revolving fund act
requires us to add to the cost of raw
material, skilled labor, etc., interest on
the investment at six (6) per cent.
This interest charge was, after con
sultation with the state auditor, figured
on the total appropriation of $150,000
for the jute mill, equaling about 1 cent
per bag. That ia to say the monthly
interest charge to be added is
to make $750. As it is verv difficult
for an average of much more than
75,000 bags per month, because of una
voidable delays, short days, ' holidays,
etc., it is very evident that the interest
charge is, in round numbers, I cent a
bae."
The Washington commission suggest,
in addition, that the act requiring six
per cent interest to be paid on the in
vestment in machinery and material be
repealed. Under the snowing presented
the jute factory see ma to present a good
method of employing the convicts, and
nets a saving to the farming community
of from to 2i cents on every sack
raanutactured.
. We noticed todav a horse hitched to a
sleigh, tied to a tree in the street ex
posed to the full force of the cold wind
The poor brute was almost frozen', and
was quite frantic in its endeavors to get
loose. Any person so devoid of any
sense of humanity as to permit a horse
to freeze on a day like this, should be
forced to stand several hours exposed to
today's east wind, in order to appreciate
the amount of suffering he causes to the
animals he uses. Our city officers
should be vigilant to arrest any one so
inconsiderate of the city ordinances and
the comfort of their domestic beasts
which are oft-times more intelligent
than their brutish owners.
