TUESDAY - JUNE 4, 1895 HEROISM IN SONG. The feelings of every one who read of the wrecked Colima are touched by the Tecital of how Captain Taj lor died. Standing near the bridge, he gave orders for the lowering of the boats, and did what could be done for the saving of as many lives as possible; and then when nettling more remained, be raised bis band and gave three blasts of the whis tle as a dying farewell to all that he loved. As long as poetry and song re main, such deeds will always be a favor ite theme for minstrelsy. The loss of the steamer, Arctic, away lack in the fifties, when the signal gun, ired by the hand of. a mere lad, sent its boom across the weary waste of waters till silenced in the ocean's deep em brace, was studied in the readers by sympathetic youth. And many tears haye dimmed the pages of Whittier which told of Conductor Bradley and how he died. Bradley was a conductor on an eastern road, and killed in a col lision. The poet, Whittier, most beau tifully tells the story of how, wnen the first shock of the collision was over, and bis mangled body was taken from the wreck, those who bent over him heard the words "Fat ont the signal for the other train :" "We bow as In the dust, with all our pride Of virtne dwarfed the noble deed beside. God give as grace to live as Biadley died." It remains for some sweet singer in veree on the Pacific coast to tell of the Colima and her captain. Censurable as be may be in some things, bis death was heroic. Perhaps Oregon's own gift of . genius, Sam Simpson, will tell the story. - AN UNGOVERNABLE GOVERNOR. Governor Alt eld is fuming and stir ring up anarchical sentiment, because the supreme conrt of the United States has decided that a court has the power to pnnieh contempt of its orders. It is useless to denounce the U. S. courts as being the tools of corporations and ser vants of millionaires ; they do not make the laws, and are not responsible for them, but it is their duty, as it is that of a governor, to assist in enforcing them. Men of Altgeld's stamp, who openly espouse every influence tending lo unsettle society and nullify the gov ernment, ought also to be within the Teach of the court's order ; they are far more worthy of the punishment that falls upon the men whom they mislead and who have to suffer the consequences of a violation of the law. The court that punishes a violation of the law is far more the friend of labor than the demagogues who encourage a disregard of the law. "We regret that Altgeld is not the man to go to prison instead of Eugene V, Debbs. " B00D RIVER VALLEY. The people of Hood River are to be congratulated upon the large yield and certain returns of their strawberry crop of 1895. Last year, because of want of tiansportation facilities,, their labor, time and money was a dead loss, but this year their perseverance in improv ing and enlarging their berry fields has been rewarded. The success of this portion of the county, both in. berry raising and apple culture, is due to the fact that the most approved methods are ... studied and adopted with great painstaking. Hood River, apples have reputation more than state wide, and many orchards on the Columbia, not in Hood river valley, reap the benefit of that reputation. . There is no reason why other portions . of the county should not succeed as well if the same care is given to the business ; but until we learn to keep our apple tree from insects and properly cultivated , and pruned, we will never produce ap ples that are fit for anything but cider, and not very good for that. , 4 RIVER LINE TO FOSSIL. The Fossil Journal expects during the next year to see boats load atits wharves and those of other towns east of the mountains, and never break .cargo until they land their freight at Portland or Astoria. With such a waterway, and such transportation facilities, the devel opment of our state's resources would be beyond limit. The prophecies of pessi mists do not possess the ghost of a chance of fulfillment. Portland Sun. We knew Fossil had too much life for its name, but we had not heard that it had crawled to the Columbia river from eighty miles away. Possibly the Sun is off on Its geography. ? Tno Dalles Daily Chronicl The fish situation still continues any- thing but bright to those whose money is invested in wheels and nets. The re ports all along the river indicate that very few fish are being caught. In 1889, which was the year in which the biggest catch was made, the fish began coming May 28th ; but last year, when there was also an abundance of fish, but no wheels to catch them, the run did not come till much later, and the biggest catch was during July. There is yet plenty of time for the fishermen to reltnbu.Sj themselves for the outlay they have made and have a balance to their ctedit. Many of our fruit men are discouraged by the small returns from their orchards and vineyards, and with some reason. Bat we believe that increased produc tion will better, rather than make worse, their condition. The fact that The Dalles is one of the largest wool markets in the United States, has a tendency to make the price here percep tably higher than at other markets. When our market becomes known as a large fruit market, and foreign buyers are attracted to it, we will no longer be dependent upon local demand to fix the price. ' The people of the Pacific coast are bet ter satisfied than ever with the land that is given them. The reports from the sweltering East, and the cool breezes that sway our trees and make the days a delight, are strong enough in contrast to bring out clearly the blessings that are ours. The people of Juniper Flat and the country between Wamic and Wapinitia will be glad to know that the contract for renewing the work on the big irri gating ditch has been re-let, and work will begin at once. Ed Owens, a con tractor of North Yakima, was in The Dalles last week, and had with him the contract for the work. He is to com plete the Job of excavation in seventy- six days from May 27th. This ditch will be of inestimable benefit to the dwellers in the southern portion of Wasco county, and will make that part which it will irrigate, a garden spot. The land near Wamic- and on Juniper Flat is naturally very fertile, and the bringing in of water will make it the choice farming land of Eastern Oregon. . . . The school directors 'held a meeting yesterday afternoon in Dr. Doane'a office. There were present O. Kinersly, S. B. Adams and Dr. O. Doane, direct ors and Ernest Jacobsen, clerk. There was not much business to come before the board and the session was not pro longed. The directors ordered forty new seats to accommodate the increasing number of students. ' Mr. Glenn will famish them. A motion was passed to order sixty cords of wood and an offer of bids will soon be advertised. As there was no further business to come before the meeting the board adjourned. An exciting runaway occurred this morning on Third street. A team be longing to Mr. Sechlar was standing in front of W." H. Young's blacksaaith shop and becoming frightened started sud denly and overturned the wagon. Tte horses didn't wish to lose any time and made a straight line for home, but the odds against them were too many and they ended upon the iron pile by the new opera house. .. The heat was an ex citing one but no great amount of dam age 'was done. Today has been prolific in runaways. Early in. the day Mr. Sechlar's team started on a tear and about 11 o'clock the tine span belonging to The Dalles Lumbering company came dashing down the alley by The Chronicle office. On Washington street the tugs broke and the wagon, or what was left of it, daBhed into the sidewalk by the Lumbering Company's store. The team kept up its wild career and was last seen going up Fonrth street. One of the horses was bleeding and seemed to be hurt. 'Those wishing cut flowers would do well to. call on Mrs. Stabling.

Lee; general passenger agent of the O. R. & N. Co., a magnificent bear skin handsomely mounted. The skin was exchanged for the bear which Mr. Fish used to have chained by the hotel. The railroad company wanted a . bear for the eating house at . Mechatn not to be eaten, but for ornament and prevailed upon Mr. Fisn to make the trade. He now has a dead bear instead of a live one. The case of the state vs. Bertie Stewart, charged with selling intoxicating liquors without a license was thrown out of court yesterday afternoon. The code provides that the statute relating to this offense shall not apply to towns over a certain amount of population. The matter was argued before the court and and the decision made in favor of the de fendant. This will probably end the matter. A big celebration for the Fourth of July is being arranged to take place on 8-Mile at the grove near - Henry Williams. The place is a fine one for a picnic and the people of 8-Mile are famous as entertainers. .The program is nearly completed and those having it in charge intend that it shall be a. success worthy of the day.
