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

Everybody goes to the circus, and it
is to be presumed they enjoy it. 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

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.

NO WONDER IT IS GREAT!
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
