THE ERA OF CANALS.
While the eyes of the civilized world
returned toward the little etrip of aand
that connects the Danish peninsula with
the continent and the big ditch therein
dog to protect and advance German
commercial interests, it will be well for
u to look at one of the most important
engineering projects in the world's his
tory, now rapidly approaching comple
tion in oar own land. Twenty-four mil
lion dollars are expended, or contracted
for, and before 1896 'will have past, the
"old order" will have returned or
more properly, geologically speaking,
one of the old ordeis and the waters of
the great lake system of oar continent
will resume their ancient outflow
through the Illinois river and through
the Mississippi ' into the gait. This
ancient outflow was before the ice of the
glacial era had melted from the east
end of the lakes, setting free the open
ing toward the Atlantic. This present
work was primarily undertaken as a
sanitary measure, to dispose of the sew
age of Chicago, bat the requisite
size of the canal, before legislative con
cent could be obtained, was to be of suf
ficient capacity to carry ten thousand
cubic feet of water per second, and pro
Tide at the same time for deep i water
navigation. No where does the surface
of the land rise more than eight feet
above the lake level. The possibility of
this construction is secured by one of
the most marvelous adjustments in the
world.
The great elacialist. George Frederick
Wright, says: "The thi'ee great lakes,
Erie, Huron and Michigan, are practic
ally on the eame level, 580 feet above
the sea, though Lake Erie is seven or
eight feet lower. The basin of these
lakes may be compared to a great
rim to rim, with three nicks on differ
ent 'sides, through any one of which
drainage mav be directed bv verv slight
cnanges oi ievei it tue region aDout
CLicago were to settle fifty feet, the
drainage would all be diverted to the
Mississippi. Lake Erie would be its
tributary, and Niagara would be a dry
bed. The level of the rock rim at the
head of the Niagara river is only thirty
feet below that separating Lake Michi
gan from the Mississippi basin at Chi
cago." The amount of water to be dis
charged will raise the level of the Mis
sissippi at St. Louis one foot, and
provide free navigation without locks
for the lower 200 miles of the Illinois.
Major Raffner's estimates are that the
future probable enlargements may re
quire as much as 15 or 20 per cent of
the water now flowing over Niagara.
Our own government has just expended
$-',000,000 to deepen the channel in the
lakes two feet. It is not strange then
that the government has just appointed
three commissioners, of whom Major
It u finer is one, to determine the facte
and proper remedies, while the Domin
ion of Canada has appointed a similar
commission to protect their own inter
ests. .
In old times the phraseology, used to
be "Oregon or the states," and we
might be pardoned if we took scanty
interest in the goings on in "the states."
-.Now happily, thanks to the iron bands,
we are one of them, and what benefits
one is a gain to us all. More especially
do we on this coast derive great benefit
in the wonderfully increased mechanical
appliances developed by this great work,
and which will render more certain and
easy the fulfillment our own great
hope, the completion m the Nicaraguan
ship canal in the near future. No fear
there of lowering either Atlantic or Pa
cific to anybody's detriment.

A WORD OF PRAISE.
The good words said of Baker City by
an visitors certain indicate that we have
one of the best towns in the Northwest
from a business standpoint. Democrat
One oi the best institutions Baker
City has to boast of is its bright and
' able newspaper, the Morning Democrat
Nothing tells quicker the business stand
" ing of a! town than its local journal, and
the Democrat, by its able editorials and
breezy local pages reflects credit on the
people of Baker City. The La Grande
Chronicle is another paper which is of
great benefit to the section in which it
is published.
KENTUCKY DEMOCRACY.
The democrats cf Kentucky, at the;r
Btate convention, held on the 25th,
stood clearly and positively against free
silver. With the great conventions, the
greatest newspapers, and the greatest
statesmen . all standing against the free
coinage of silver, it will not be long un
til the qnestion will be settled as a polit
ical issue. We are of the opinion that
the question is becoming wearisome to
the people generally. '
While not wishing to interfere with
anv arrangements the executive com
mittee for the celebration has made, yet
there is one thing that seems to Thb
Chronicle an oversight. We are to
have a visiting company of militia, who
very kindly have promised to make the
long trip from Wasco, and it would be
fitting that a prize be offered for a com
petitive drill. Both companies A and G
have done a great amount of practicing,
and a public drill would show their pro
ficiency and stimulate interest in the
militia. Besides, there is no good rea
son why prizes should be offered for
hose contests and none for the militia.
We hope the committee will provide for
a contest between the companies that
are present on the Fourth, and award a
suitable trophy.
Card to the fa bile.
The article in Thb Chbokiclb, a per
fect copy from other papers, we saw fit
to print about the Kimball pianos seems
to have been a little more than Mr. L.
V. Moore, wholesale representative of
the Millions-Dollars Kimball Co.,
could swallow. .Also his personal threat
te the writer did not stop the matter
from appearing in print. Parties in
The Dalles do not know L. V. Moore,
who has tried hard to get local dealers
everywhere to handle bis piane, by the
way one of the cheapest in the market,
which have been sold as low as $150.
The Millions-Dollars Kimball Co., like
wholesale representative L. V. Moore
calls that concern, has no reputable
music house on this Pacific coast hand
ling their goods. He will refet you to
persons you cannot coneult, or give yon
newspaper clippings easily bought ot
that probably never appeared in print
as vouchers. Why is it Mr. Moore,
when he discovered that - the writer was
going to put in print Kimball's methods.
a menace to the entire trade, he used
such language?
We will take Mr. Moore's word for
what he puts in print, bat everyone
knows that reads his article he is now
advertising and will make np for it. It
don't cost him anything to live or do
business, for the climate will keep him
in Wasco1 county, and as he told t he-
writer, he was going to make it hot for
him because we did not want to impose
upon the public- by handling his goods.
We hope he has got good and hot and
that water oat of oar public fountain
may keep wholesale representatives of
the Million-Dollar Kimball Co., L. V
Moore, alive, so that he may save the
public of The Dalles another $3600 on a
few pianos. ThevMueical Conrier an
swers all questions Mr. Moore asked us
to rush in print -with and shows the
public the danger in. the piano business
we Know talK is cheap ana Moore ik
just the man that can give it in $100
lots: he has given newspaper talk to
the public in other cities and The Dalles
is now getting it. We regret our profits
will not allow as to be so liberal and we
will have to refrain on that account from
appearing in print hereafter. No doubt
the Million-Dollar Kimball Co. guarantee
is just as defective and has as many loop
holes in it as almost any other guarantee
given by manufacturers of that class of
pianos generaljjc
If Kimball is a first class piano why
does Mr. "Moore offer them to the trade
as low as $1-40? This be has done to our
knowledge.
Today we are here and tomorrow there:
For a Kimball, no reputable manufacturer care.

. The regular inspection of the militia
took place last night in the armory
Company G turned out with a ood
number, considering the fact that there
are many who are out of town at this
time of the year. Lt.-Col. Patterson in
s pec ted the company, and found every
thing in good condition. Most of the
colonel's staff were present, and all the
company's officers. A number of gen
eral orders from the brigade commander
were read, and also the reports of the
board of discipline, which considered
several offenses against the order of thSr
company. The night was so excessively
warm that the men were allowed to sit
during the reading by the sergeant, and
the regular drill was cut short. A great
deal of interest is taken by the boys in
the military organization, and but few
cases of a breach against discipline are
reported.
Mr. James McMillan,; of Sherman
county, was in The Dalles yesterday on
his way to Portland. lie says that up
to this week the grain was in good con
dition 'and could stand three or four
days of hot weather provided the east
wind did not blow. The grain in some
parts of this county and especially near
Boyd and for a few miles south is said to
be commencing to barn. ' The volunteer

wheat is not dojng well in any localities
and the spring crop will be short. If
the weather changes after today and cool
winds come from the west we may make
out a fair yield in the fall sown gram.
UNever in the history of this county have
the farmers desired a good harvest more,
as the price will undoubtedly be good
and if we get an average yield money
will be plenty in the fall.
