AMERICAN GENTLEMEN.
No one can doult that the Henley
races were rowed under the most gentle
manly conditions and 8Urroun.)ing,pince
the British managers of the com petition
stipulated that no member of competing
American crew should have ever 'en
paged in manual work for a living.
Oregonian.
The whole mystery of Cornell's defeat
at Henley is explained, ifthe fere going
remarkable statement is true the crew
was not made of good American mate
rial. We did not suppose there could
be found so many young Americans who
would be willing to acknowledge that
they had never engaged in manual work
for a living. The crew must be com
posed of the dudes and sops who, though
born in America, are not Americans,
but are "English, you know." Such
tuff ought to be beaten, and we have
no criticism to make because of the con
temptible treatment they received.
American gentlemen are men who by
brain and muscle earn their bread and
are proud of their ability so to do.
This condition of the Britishers reminds
as of the oft-told story of the English
lord who met in England an American
cirl, and to impress upon her the fact
that be knew the world well, informed
ber that he had traveled all through the
United States. When asked by ber
what he thought of our country re
plied: "Ah, I was much interested in
it, but I was surprised to find in the
United States no gentlemen." "In
deed," said the charming young lady,
"I thought all true Americans were gen
tlemen." ''Ah, but you know," said
bis lordship, "I mean people who live
without labor or business.". "Ob, we
have many such," said the girl, "but
we do not call then gentlemen in
American ; they are known there as
tramps.
would come just as as agreeable. Every
well-wisher of the D. P. & A. N. Co.
throughout Eastern Oregon hopes to
see business increase so that by the end
of the summer there will be another
surplus to divide. The boat line was
not started as a money-making concern,
but is proving itself one.
Oar Water Works.
THE BICYCLE.
This is a harmless-looking toy, and it
would never be suspected of upsetting
the business of canal boats, lake steam
ers, railroads and street railways. But
the evidence is conclusive, and the ball
bearing axle and pneumatic tire is
"doing up," not only the passenger
business in and about the large cities,
but freight transporters are feeling the
effect of the change. Driving horses
are being displaced, so that the trade in
grain and hay is noticeably affected, and
the transportation of these products
from the west to eastern cities is falling
off to such an extent as to make a differ
ence in freight rates. But Oregon is
afe from all this innovation ; the hills
are too steep for the bike, and cay uses
will continue to do the business here.
AMERICAN
BUYERS OF
WOOL.
LONDON
In every market report during the
past week will be found the statement
that Americans were heavy buyers. In
these reports American wools are not
quoted. The shipments are to the
United States, and not away from here;
and yet many wool men believed the
statement that free trade in wool would
enhance the price of our product.
Wool producers will never be fooled by
such nonsensical theories again.
Along with the agitation for good roads
should go a discussion as how best to
Veep them in proper condition when they
bave been obtained. Throughout the
East and especially in Massachusetts the
eut.jt-ctof wide tires for wagons is receiv
ing much consideration. Wherever the
wider tires have been tried the results
bave been eminently satisfactory. The
wagon is drawn as easily and the road is
not cut as under the narrow wheels. In
Eastern Oregon where such an immense
'amount of freighting is done and the
wagons so heavily loaded, the use of
widened tires would prove very bene
ficial. When the farmers adopt this
style of wagon a long step towards get
ting and maintaining good roads will
bave been taken.
Editor Chronicle : It has occurred
to me many times to inquire what the
income from our water system is; what
proportion of loss there is by reason of
tbe failure of water consumers to pay
water vents; what methods are followed
to keep track of the losses, and what
reports are made by the manager and
preserved by the water commission ;
what number of water consumers there
are in the city, and how much water is
used per each inhabitant? No one
seems to know much about the matter,
and as I know the subject is one of gen
eral interest, I would suggest that you,
now and then, publish the reports filed
by tbe manager. These would no doubt
answer the questions I bave asked, and
I assume they are all open to public in
spection.
If these reports are not too long, will
yon please publish them, or if they
would require too much of your space,
could yon not give tbe public the sub
stance of them?

j The smoke, which has obscured tbe
sun for several days, came upon us from
the east; and not, as is usually the
case, from the west. The west wind
which commenced to blow Yesterday, is
I clearing tbe atmosphere and lowering
tbe temperature. Tbe indications are
that tbe forest fires, which cause this
smoke, ore not in tbe Cascade range,
bnt in the Blue mountains.
Concerning; Mrs. Hinadalo.
Mrs. F. Hinsd ale's fine soprano voice
added greatly to the interest of the even
ing's program and each number she
sang was greeted with a hearty encore
Her first song was "bay bitana, ' a
lovely little Spanish ballad by C. A.
Harris, given with castinets and tam
bourine. This was tbe second time in
America and the first time in California
that the song has been sung, Mr. Harris
having composed it for bis friend, the
singer.
In response to the encore which this
brought out, Mrs. Hinsdale grve Strel
eski's "Dreams." Her second regular
number was Kuchen's lovely song "Good
Night, Farewell," in which the pure.
true tones of ber soprano voice appeared
to great advantage and which was re
ceived with great appreciation aud an
imperative recall, when Mrs. Hinsdale
gave "The Song Bridge," and a delicious
quaint little bit which was like an old
English madrigal, "All is Sleeping."

taken room 51 in the Chapman block.
By examining the hand Mme. Vascba
can read a person's history and foretell
the future. Palmistry has been reduced
to a science and as such cannot be classed
as fortune telling. She can give good
advice in all the business affairs of life
and tell for what business er profession
you are best adapted. All those who
wish to know their future should call at
room 51, in the Chapman block, over
the land office. Mme. Vascha will be

Business on the Cascade tine.
Owing to tbe growing volume of tourist
travel, the Dalles City has changed its
time of leaving the Oak street wharf to
7 a. m., inBtead of 6 a. m., as formerly,
in order better to accommodate the trav
elling public. Tbe upper Columbia is
becoming a very popular run for pleasure-seekers
and tbe Dalles City line is
catering in. every possible way to the
passenger trade. Freight traffic Is also
good, much wool and produce coming
down daily. Oregonian.
