NEW ROAD TO THE DALLES.
' The project for a new road to The
Dalles, mentioned in thia paper some
time ago, is not dead by any merns;
. neither has it been sleeping. Wood Gil
man has spent considerable Ihonght on
. the matter and has succeeded in work
ing np quite a sentiment' in its tavor,
not only here, but throughout at least
half of the county. It is now time for
others to get in and help.
Those who have never given . any
thought to the matter have no idea of
the advantage such a road would be, not
only to Fossil, but to Mayville and Con
don and surrounding and intervening
country. A preliminary survey has
been made over a direct route from
Fossil to 30-Mi!e,kthence np tbfj hill on
the other side of the John Day river to
the table land in Sherman county, where
connection is made with a good road
running direct to The Dalles. By this
route it is but seventy miles from Fossil
to The Dalles or only ten miles farther
than from Fossil to Arlington. Mayville
and Condon can make connections with
' this road that will bring them also with
in 70 miles of The Dalles.
This week Mr. Gilman interviewed the
leading business men of The Dalles, who
agreed to give substantial help in build'
ing the proposed road. Jtle also saw
prominent business men and farmers of
Sherman county, who stated that Sher
man county wouldkhelp. Ue is satisfied
that if Gilliam will make the road in
this county, Wasco and Sherman coun
ties will build the grade - on ' the other
side of the river. Private subscription
will do a good deal toward bailding the
road in this county, but Gilliam county
should make an appropriation for this
purpose say one dollar" for every dollar
that is raised by subscription. '? The
county court has practiced this plan to
some extent already, with good results
As to advantages that would result
from such a road, they are so apparent
that it is not necessary to say much con
cerning them. Once it is built, goods
can be laid down as cheap in Fossil and
Con'don as in Arlington, as there is some
60 cents difference in the average price
of freight between Portland ' and The
Dalles and Portland and Arlington, in
favor of the former point, whose water
competition has cut the railroad rates
one-half between The Dalles and Port
land. This 50. cents would haul the
ireight from Tne Dalles to fossil or
Condon. Before long, when the locks
are completed. The Dalles boats will be
even better prepared to compete with
the railroad, as there will be no breaking
of cargo between there and the seaboard,
and The Dalles should then be able to
supply interior points at Portland prices.
urain at present brings lu cents per
bushel more in The Dalles than in' Ar
lington. This being so, the Mayville
. farmers can well afford to haul their
wheat an extra fifteen or twenty miles
for the extra 10 cents per bushel, and
several of the largest . farmers of that
section are strongly in favor of the early
building of the road;
, Over the proposed road we could have
a daily mail route, and a man could
drive to The Dalles in a day with a light
rig, and he cannot travel to Arlington in
less time. On a trip to Portland be
would save about $5 in car fare alone,
These are but some of the advantages
that would accrue to the- people of
Gilliam county. Sherman county would
be benefited by the increased travel
through ber territory, and through the
fact that the timber surrounding Fossil
is considerably nearer to a large portion
of Sherman county 'than her presen
source of Bupplyl ,ButThe Dalles would
probably reap the greatest benefit of all
from the road, as it would get a large
trade that now goes to Arlington, and
might just as well as not, especially as
terminal rates are promised ber in the
near future, which means that freight
from the East will be laid down there as
cheap as in Portland, get . the entire
trade of the merchants of Fossil, May
ville and Condon, which now goes prin
cipally to Portland.
In the near future we shall have more
to say concerning this project, which
deeply concerns considerably more than
half the population of Gilliam county,

ACTING LIKE A BULLY.
, A dispatch from- London, April 25th
shows the desire of England to have this
country stand in with ber to help ber
get slice of China, or at least to pre-
Tii3 Dalles Daily Ghronieli
vent Russia, France and Germanyfrom
interfering. It says :
"Member of Parliament Ho worth, in
letter to the Times, advocates a com
mon policy on the part of England and
America in regard to far eastern affairs.
The Pall Mall Gazette favors Haworth's
suggestion. It says : . 'America has re
ceived many marks of respect from
China and Japan. Joint diplomatic
action with the United States by Eng
land won Id prevent stronger action on
the part of others. Our stake on every
side of the Pacific, in China, Canada
and Australia, forbids as to remain
passive.' " -- ....
England is a bully when she has the
power, as witness her course with .Nica
ragua; but when it comes to lacing
Russia or France she is not so bandy
with her guns and ber warships.' She
would like to use Uncle Sam's hand to
pull ber chestnuts dot of the fire, but
she will be unable to do so. Just at
present this country is ( looking rather
jeolously at her conduct in Nicaragua,
and while her right to collect indemnity
for 'the treatment of ber representative
is conceded, we cannot but feel contempt
for ber bullying, manner. She will be
left to her own resources in China, but
he need not gq to sleep on the idea that
the Nicaragua matter is entirely settled.
If she collects her indemnity and quits,
and that soon, all will be well ; if not
she will have a fight on her hands with
this country that will prevent her pay
ing much attention to Japan and China
In spite of her boasted fleet, it is proba
ble we could make it interesting enough
for her to at least let her know we were
around. The history of 1776 and 1812 is
not yet ancient, and she may well re
member the proverb about history re
peating itself.
There is not much danger of war how
ever, as she is only running a bluff.
