A REPORT,
The Water Commission's Beply to The
Chronicle's Suggestion.
The Dalles, Or., Jan. 20, 1893.
Editor Chronicle.
Deab Sir : We see by yesterday's is
sue of your paper that the question has
been asked, "why do not the water com
missioners submit a report once in a
while, so that the public would know
what becomes of the money collected,"
and The Chronicle adds that it. believes
the question is pertinent, and suggests
that the board make either a semi-annual
or an annual report. Permit us to
ask why The Chboxicxk did not, in the
same paragraph, inform us to whom this
suggested report should be made? There
is no suggestion any where in the law
that the water commission should report
to any one. We might, with just as
much pertinency, ask, why does not the
city council make a report so that the
public may know what becomes of the
money collected. This city has been
incorporated for about 33 years, and no
one ever heard it suggested that the city
council should make a report. Yet it is
just as much the duty of the city council
to make a report as it is that of the water
commissioners. Pray tell us now to
whom either of these bodies should re
port? To whom should the report be
addressed? What officer or functionary
should examine that report? Who
could suggest or enforce any change in
the acts of the board of . water commis
sioners? Perhaps the person who knew
so little about the business of the water
commission as to ask this pertinent(?)
question, would suggest that it be made
to the city council. He had just as well
say to the circuit court, or to the county
court, for there is no suggestion in the
law anywhere that the board of water
commissioners should report to the
council, or that the. council could do
anything with the report from the water
commissioners, in any way. The board
of water commissioners, like the city
council, receive. reports, it does not
make them. Reports are made to the
commission, not by it. Reports, galore,
are made to the water commission, all
of which are open to the public, and if
The Chronicle had only stepped across
the street to Mr. Chrisman's store, he
might have read reports for a week ; and
if this had been done The Cheoniclk
would not have displayed to the public
its utter ignorance of the public, official
acts of the water commissioners. Mr.
Editor, within the sound of your voice,
as you sit in your sanctum, and within
your sight, almost, you may find month
ly reports on file with the secretary of
the water commission from -the super
intendent of water ; work a and from the
city treasurer. The report of the super
intendent will show you the name of
every person who pays water rent in
Dalles City and the amount he pays. It
will further show you the name of every
person who has paid his water rent, for
any given month, and the name of
every person who has not paid. If The
Chronicle, or any member of its force,
has ever failed to pay water rent,
for a single dav, after the month
in which it became due, that fact
is reported in writing, to the board
of water commissioners, and is on
file with the secretary and a
public record. The monthly report
of the superintendent shows every dol
lar collected, from whom collected, every
dollar uncollected and the name of the
person who is delinquent. This report
is open to The Chronicle. What more
can you ask of the superintendent? The
report of the city treasurer shows every
transaction that he has had with the
water fund daring the month. What
more can you ask of the city treasurer?
A record is made of every committee
appointed by the president of the com
mission, and the report of the committee
is in writing, is read publicly and is
placed on file for public inspection.
What more can you ask of the ,com
mittees ? Every act of the water commis
sion, every motion made, whether
carried or lostevery communication re
ceived, every act done, is a matter of pub'
lie record, necessarily so under the law.
What more can you ask of the water
commission? With all these reports on
file, with all the public meetings of the
board and the written record of every
matter, that is ever brought before the
commission, the great Chronicle has
never seen fit to send a reporter in to
get a single item. The proceedings of
the board are in ' precisely the same
shape for the reporter as the proceedings
of the city council, the circuit court and
county court, the justice court and the
recorder's court. You can get every de
tail of the business of the commissioners
just the same as you can that of the
other bodies just referred to. Why have
you not done this? Has the water com
mission been derelict in its duties, or
has The Chronicle failed to publish the
recorded acts of the commission? . If,
once a month, The Chronicle reporter,
instead of making his daily visit to the
city jail, to see if some worthless spec
imen of humanity has been ar
rested for drunkenness, - should drop-
in to the open, public meeting
of the board of water commissioners, he
could get ' in detail every transaction
pertaining to the' water works for that
month. Suppose The Chronicle should
leave out a few notices of the arrest of
dead drunks and should" publish some
of the proceedings of the commissioners
men, in case some one snouid be so
stupid as to ask for a report from the
water commissioners, then ye editor
might say "Subscribe for The Chroni
cle and keep posted."
This is the first, the last, and final re
port of the commissioners. If any one
demands any more than the written
record of every transaction of the com
mission which is open to the public, his
demands will be in vain, and the com
mission will pursue the even tenor of
its way ; and, in the language of Gov.
Pennoyer, will be compelled to Bay:
You attend to your business and we
will attend to ours."

61owIv Kearlng- Completion.
Hood River Glacier.
It is barely possible that this year will
see the completion of the locks at the
Cascades and the steamerB that now ply
the lower Columbia reaching The Dalles.
It is not probable, however, simply be
cause the contractors have bad excep
tionally bad weather and conditions for
the work. The Columbia never reached
low water mark last year, and in the
fall, when generally conditions for work
at the locks are the best, the river
marked several feet above its customary
line. The winter has been open, but so
wet that but little progress could' be
made, although the contractors have
pushed the work to the limit circum
stances would admit. If not completed
in 1894. it is safe to say that the spring
of '95 will see the long-drawn-out job
finished.
la There Anything. in This?
The milk in the cocoanut seems to be
the personal pique of the editor of the
Telegram, who applied for the position
of bank examiner made vacant by
Stagge's appointment as receiver, and
was endorsed for the position by Stagge.
This endorsement was considered an ex
cellent one because of bis good standing
with Comptroller Eckels. In view of
this the savage attack of the Telegram
seems the height of ingratitude ; yet its
very bitterness probably arigesjfrom the
disappointment and chagrin at discov
ering that this endorsement is not only
rendered valueless but harmful by the
exposure. Portland Chronicle.

COURAGE IN WAR.
Mo Longer Necessary Since the Introduo-
tion of Mechanical Appliances.
It is not probable that there is an
army on the earth whose leaders would
urge an advance against such an infer
no ot inevitable annihilation in the
face of which their cumbersome equip
ments would stand as absolutely worse
than nothing. .A meager outlay in de
fense on the principle of direct concus
sion during hostilities would effectu
ally bar the combined navies of the
earth from approaching New York har
bor near enough to hear the echo of
the invading guns.
A defensive arc equipped with nitro
glycerine boats and balloons could
hold its own with leisure and literally
strew the ocean floor with hostile
scrap before a single . shot could fall
within sight. .
Let it be understood that there is
not a single element of uncertainty in'
the case; that every claim is based on
a rigid analysis, is of simple and inex
pensive verification and that such ver
ification shall demonstrate fairly and
fully that the ironclad and the arma
ment are floating scrap; that every
mechanical thing that has met destruc
tive negation and mere superiority of
numbers, discipline, and animal courage
are lost forevermore as factors of vic
tory in war.
In this new application of well-
known principles the fighting fools
will find their occupation gone and the
common humanities - will begin to
flourish as they should.
