THE
DALLES THE BEST BUSI
NESS POINT.
" The advantages of The Dalles as a
business point was never so forcibly
demonstrated as at present. The rates
on wool shipments from here to eastern
markets are 55 cents per hundred
pounds less than from Arlington and
other points in the interior. The local
Tate from Arlington to The Dalles is 40
cents per hundred, so that wool can be
hipped from there here, sold and re
ahipped at a saving of li cents per hun
dred. Besides this saving in the rate,
the competition among buyers incident
o Ibia being the largest wool market
direct from the producer that there is in
the United States, often makes the price
relatively appreciably higher.
This spring the clip from about 20,000
bead of sheep near Bock Creek, in Wash
ington, a locality across the Columbia
from Arlington, is being hauled to The
Dalles by teams. We are also informed
that a large clip from the vicinity of
Fossil is this year marketed here. Both
the localities mentioned have hereto-
fore marketed their clips in Arlington.
A visit to the two warehouses demon
: strates the importance of this business.
Teams from a distance of ' two hundred
. miles may be seen unloading ; and these
teams carry on their return loads of
merchandise.
. The advantageous rates are due en
., tirely to the tact that The ' Dalles is
made a competitive point by the D. P. &
. A. N. Co. 's line of boats ; and to the cit
- izens who have put their capital into
this enterprise is due the fact that The
' Dalles' is now the best business point in
the interior of the state.
GOOD ROADS A NECESSITY.
The enterprising business men of The
Dalles have made The Dalles a compet
ing point for transcontinental roads ;
all we need now to complete the good
work is good -roads into the interior,
Mr. J. H. Sberar has thiajrear been de
voting much time and attention to the
Current Creek road, in Crook county.
In this good work be has been encour
aged and aided by the business men' of
this city ; but more aid of the same
- kind is required. We consider this sub-'
ject next in importance to trani porta-
tion facilities N between here and the
markets of 'the land. Mr. Sberar has
made money by building and maintain
ing fine roads between here and Bake
Oven. The Dalles business men will
likewise receive a generous return for
every dollar expended in the improve'
ment of the roads beyond Bake Oven
and in other directions. Some atten
tion could be given the free bridge road
to very great advantage to this city.
SHEEP AND CASCADE RANGE.
Some active steps should at once be
take to induce the commissioner of the
.general land office to rescind his order
excluding sheep from the Cascade reser
-vat ion s. inis Has been tne summer
home of the flocks of Oregon for many
years, and the commissioner himself
would have- to concede, should he visit
Ms new parks, that no trace of the graz
ing remains. . It will not do to disregard
this order, for even a democratic admin
istration will not ignore contempt of its
authority. ... . "7"
A fair and full presentation of the
facts, we think, would effect a recession
so far as sheep and cattle are concerned
- "Let's have another Declaration of In
v. dependence," is the suggestion of some
' very good citizens. A very good idea.
- What is the use of allowing England to
" dictate the price of wheat, wool and
' ' cotton; Germany the price of pork, and
France the price of wines, Why let
' r Europe longer interfere with us? China
was quite independent of the rest of the
world for ages, and there is no reason
'2 why we can't. It might cost something
. to build a wall, but the industrial army
want employment, and we have lots of
il-er in the vaults at Washington
: which is very much desired by "thous
., ands of people' throughout the land
. We can pay for the work in silver ; tbi
will give the land free silver, and we
,-' will be done with these arrogant nations
. of Europe, which are now trying to run
. oar affairs. Let's have a Chinese wall
Th Chronicle and other republican
papers insisted during the last nations
campaign that the democratic idea of the
. tariff was more in the interest of Eng
land than the United States ; every dem
ocrat denied it. . Today the English
r
prees are suggesting to Mr. Cleveland
that Mr. Wilson, the author of the pres
ent tariff law, be made secretary of state
to succeed Mr. Gresham. This, too,
would suit England, but it strikes ne
that this country has had all of Mr.
Wilson that it can stand.
In connection with the subject of good
roads Dalles City might do well to take
a hint. The road from the top of the
brewery bill grade to the east side of
Thompson's addition is about as rough
aa any road in the conn ty. Couldn't oar
energetic . street commissioner .. and
marshal, with the aid of the hobos, im
prove that short piece of road?

The report of Superintendent Norman
showed a total book account of $1278.75
Of this amount $908.25 'has been col
lected, leaving a balance uncollected of
$370.50.
The bids for digging and filling the
ditch on Fourth street from the corner
of Liberty to the corner of Dr. Shakel
ford's house, were read and showed that
Nil Stevenson offered to do the work for
35 cents per lineal foot, F. M. King and
Staniels bid 15 cents per lineal foot
and W. R. Brown asked 8 cents for the
same amount. W. R. Brown being the
lowest' bidder, -i was" given the contract
and instructed to give bonds in double
the amount of his bid.
At this juncture S. B. Adams, as
committee of three appointed by the city
council, appeared before the commission
and asked that the city be released from
paying the water rent of $32 per month
which it has been compelled to pay,
After hearing Mr. Adams' remarks the
commission decided not to grant the re
quest and that the city should continue
to pay the water rent.
Th bids of Mays & Crowe and Maier
& Benton for 700 feet of four inch pipe
were postponed until the meeting today,
In addition to the amonnt of cash on
band indicated by the treasurer's report
the commission has about $1500 worth
of city and county scrip. Aa further
business was necessary to be transacted
a special meeting was decided upon to
aay at 4 p. m. to wnicn time the com
mission adjourned. , , . , , . .

A young son of Mr. Henry Williams
who lives on 8-Mile, was seriously and
perhaps fatally injured yesterday after
awn near Deschutes. -The man was
on horseback hunting stock. The horse
stum Died and leu, mrowmg tne young
man underneath in such a way that the
pommel of the saddle struck him in the
abdomen. The injured man was taken
to the home of ' Will Cushing and
physician hurriedly summoned. ' The
doctor made him as easy as possible and
it is to be hoped that no fatal results
will attend the young man's accident.
AT ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
Concluded from Third Page,
what they had studied. In other portions
of the room were, exhibitions -of pen
drawing, painting on tapestry, Roman
embroidery, point lace, crochet work
and studies from nature.- Some papers
in the theoretical music showed how
thorough a course the student in that art
must take.
The St. Mary's echool has had a very
prosperous year, considering the hard
times, and the outlook is very bright.
In the girls' department there have been
twenty-eight boarders, and large num
bers of day scholars, while in the St.
Joseph school for boys there have been
over fifty in attendance. At the com
mencement exercises, 1 which will oc
cur on Jane 14th, three young ladies
will graduate. The prospective ones are
Misses Alma Scbanno, Cassie Thor
bonrne and Agnes Le Due.
A visit to this school, which is a pride
and ornament to the city, will well re
pay any one who will go either tomor
row afternoon or Monday. , ,
Boport of the Grand Jury.
To the Honorable Circuit Court :
We, the grand jury for the May term,
1895, respectfully submit this our final
report:
We have been in session five days and
have returned and reported to the court
from time to time four "true bills" and
three "not true bills."
We have examined the county records,
and books, and as far as we are able to
judge from our hasty examination, we
find all books neatly and correctly kept.
We find from the renort of the expert
appointed to examine the books of the
clerk's office, that there has been fraud
ulent script issued - to the amount of
$1311.77, and we recommend that the
county proceed to collect this amount
from the bondsmen of the respective
clerks during whose term of office such
fraudulent script was issued, or in any
other manner provided by law.'
We further recommend that an expert
be appointed by the county court, to in
vestigate and examine the books of the
sheriff" s office, from July, 1890, to the
present time, and to report the re
suit of his labor to the county court. ' ;
We find that our county indebtedness
is large and that there is a large amount
of delinquent taxes to be collected, and
we therefore recommend that the nec
essary action be taken at once to col
lect these taxes. - - - --
Having completed our labors we ask
to be discharged. -:
