SATURDAY, JULY 6. 1S9.3 and the coancilmen start in the year with the confidence of the city and dne credit will be given them at every evi dence of their anxiety to. lessen the burden of debt. The ball has been started ; keep it rolling. ' RETURNING PROSPERITY. I It is said wool is selling as low as 6 and 7 cent in Yakima. If such be the case it would pay the woojgrowers of that ection to haul their product to The Dalles as they did in the years before railroada. The cost of teaming would J not equal the difference in price. Secretary Herbert, in his recent letter to Tammany, says: "Prosperity is re turning and voters are beginning to take aober 'second thought which invariably leads tha American people to correct conclusions. It should put the democ racy in power again at the coming pres idential election." The prosperity is returning, but it would be very hard to convince the peo ple of the United States that democracy has had anything to do with its return. It was the second thought of the Ameri can people that led to the e weeping re publican majorities at the last elections, and instead of continuing democracy in power it ;will complete the work next fall which it began last November, un less all signs fail. It is the sober second thought which is turning the tide, but it was the first quick thought, alarming the people when it was apparent that democracy was sure to come into con trol of the government, which had much to do with closing the factories of this country. The country is still sensitive, and if it should become apparent that the party of protection Is to be again defeated the alarm will again become general, and the prosperity which is now timidly re turing will quickly take flight. Voters began to take that sober second thought last fall, and there will be greater evi dence of it next November. The Dalles needs notbing just now so much as an efficient commercial organi zation, such a one as will unite all the business men in this city in an earnest effort to advance the city's interests. There is no reason why great progress should not be made by our fair city dur ing the coming year in commercial growth. Everything is our way; an open river before another spring is as surred ; a portage road around the dalles and Celilo is probable; good prices for produce are promised. There is no rea son why a transportation company on the upper river may not holp ua as the transportation line between here and Portland has helped the latter place. But if we want the city to grow, we must work together ; no one man is going to push the car that is to bring us prosperity. A I'.rport of Interest. The report of the recorder published below will be interesting to all taxpay ers, as it shows just how the city stands. When the money from the bonds ar rives the outstanding warrants will be taken up. Tin Dalles, Or., July 1, 1895. To the Hon. Mnvor and Common Council oi Dalles City, Or.: Gentlemen : The undersigned, your recorder, herewith hands you his an nual report of all matters concerning Dalles City as follows, for the fiscal year 1S94, ending July 1, 1895. Warrants issued on the differene funds of Dalles City for the payment of claims as follows : Fire department fund Current expanse fund Sewer and street improve :.ent fund.

It is evident tha circuses think the field a good one, for only a month intervenes' after the present performance till an other conr.es. The principal objection to them it their taking money out of the country which just at this time cannot be conveniently spared. The country is just getting on its feet again after the most stringent financial depression we nave ever knewn, and to lose the two or three thousand dollars which these cir cuses will take with them, makes to much money to be replaced. It would do The Dalles infinitely more good for the money to be used in building a wagon road to Fossil. We are not yet suffi ciently out of the woods to lay aside economy for too many pleasure days. Balance cash on hand $ .7,703 48 . We were compelled to abridge trie report; but the comparative statement or the last two years shows a total ex pense last year oi io,o.o, anu mis ir $12,41S.04, a decrease, and- conse quent gain to the city.of $5,007.11. Ed. The difference between the cash on and as shown in this report and that fehown by the treasurer's report is from the fact that at the time tha treasurer pled his report he had not figured up the warrants redeemed during the last ew weeks. With, this" report and the information '. have endeavored to give the council lercin; and thanking the council for ttieir courtesies towards me dnrintr my administration, I am Very respectfully, Douglas E. Dufur, Recorder of Dalles City. A Tribute to Mr. XI. M. Beall. The rain which surprised the people f Eastern Oregon on the Fourth, spoiled the ueual crop ol picnics, but the wheat and potato crops were strictly "in it." It is very rare that tha crops get any thing to drink on the Fourth of July in this country, whatever may be the usual thing with the people, but they had a big spree this year, and their spree iB worth something to .everybody. If the expenses ot the city are care fully watched there will be no need of financial disaster; but the care must not be at the beginning and close of the year -. alone, it must be every month , and every day in every month. Ex penses which' can be avoided must be avoided. Let us keep at the plan upon which the present administration is in augurated.. Let us care for the dimes, and the dollars will not require our at-tantion. Mr. Eckels is quite well pleased with the work of the receivers whom he has appointed in Oregon, especially with Mr. H. M. Beall, receiver of the Linn county National hank, at Albany, who has worked hard in the interest of the depositors. The controller states that this bank will undoubtedly pay every depositor, at least 95 per cent on the dollar, which will be good news indeed to many an honest, hard working farmer in that section, wtio at the time of the failure would have been quite willing to have sold his claim at one-half of its face value, and probably was only prevented lrorn so doing because there were no buyers. Portland Sun. Mr. Beall 's friends in The Dalles, and they include the whole population, will be pleased to eee his worth so publically recognized. Mr. Beall for many years was cashier of the First National bank in this city ami is Btill considered a resi dent of The Dalles. His- ability was well known before he accepted his present position and his high reputation will be increased by his record as' re ceiver of the Linn county bank.

The recorder's report,' prin ted else where in this issue, shows a gratifying decrease in the city's expenses for the fiscal year, 1894-'95, over that of the previous one. A saving' of $5000 will strike the taxpayers very faverably and gives a good omeu for the future. Were it not for the item of quarantine expense the difference would be materially greater. The burning question before the present council is economy in every department and any move that reasona bly tends in Ibis direction will be heartily, supported. Mayor Menefee A. Household Treasure.
