A LAMENTABLE MISTAKE.
The last chapter in the history of the
bandits, who last year commenced a
career of crime by robbing Maya &l
Crowe's store, was finished in Portland
Saturday by the sentencing of John
Hawthorne to five years in the peniten
tiary and a fine of $100. iT tioee of The
boys who have gone to thVponitentiary
tire neither of them malicious. Both
bad fair opportunities, and with lees
preparation than most young men have
who undertake a burglary, they began a
career which promised the worst possi
ble termination. The result is bad
enough ; but apparently both have been
brought to their senses and will come
out of jail with a determination to be
men. That they were so quickly
brought to a stand is the most fortunate
circumstance in their history.
There are other boys and young men
in The Dalles whose chosen path in life
is in the same direction as that of the
boys above referred to. Their progress
is lees rapid, but it leads none the less
surely to disaster and ruin for them
selves and grief to their friends. Tkat
they have escaped the laws power thus
far is not at all to their credit, but cer
tainly to their misfortune, and the mis
fortune of society. There are worse
misfortunes to the reckless boy than be
ing caught and punished in early life for
his violation of the law, and one of these
is to b acquitted of a crime of which be
is actually guilty, or escape detection in
the beginning of their criminal career.
ABOUT 1 HE WATER WORKS.
"A. Water Consumer," in Saturday's
iseue requested us to publish the reports
of the manager of the city water works,
and to answer several questions pertain
ing to the income and management of
the city water works. We have made
such inquiry and examination' of the
matter as our limited time permitted,
and find that there is bo formal report
made by the manager, but at each meet
ing of the water commission his collec
tion list is submitted for inspection and
and a verbal report is made. A book is
kept by the manager, showing the
names of the consumers and the amount
each is charged, and this book is subject
to the inspection of the commission and
of any one else interested and who
wishes to Ipok at it. This is the record
kept of the consumers and collections.
we are lutormea oy the manager
that during the past five years the ag
gregate loss by reason of the failure of
consumers to pay water rent, aggregates
not to exceed $70 ; that since January 1,
1895, all water rents are charged to the
property-owners, and if the tenants
leave without paying, the owner of the
properly has to pay.
Ttie importance of ttiis business, the
large amount collected, the value of the
property involved, and the interest
which the present and future residents
of the city should and will take in this
matter, renders it important that, the
business be carefully conducted and arr
accurate record preserved. We are
pleased to find that the business is so
well conducted by the present manage
ment and the commission.
KLICKITAT IN UEBTEDNESS.
ble conclusion, which in its mildest
phase is a wasted life. But the worst of
it is that every life is bound with some
one else's happiness or misery, and
there are mothers, sisters and wives
whose heartsare slowly breaking as they
watch their loved ones fall away from
the paths they should tread. It doesn't
need age or experience to see that which
a young man soweth he shall also reap,
and it Is a lamentable Fight to see, as is
all too common in The Dalles, young
men with marked ability in their every
day life, wasting their heritage and
growing old before'their time.
This is not a temperance lecture ; but
there come times when we must stop
and consider. The hope of the nation is
in its young men ; their young shoulders
must btar the burdens which our fathers
lay down and their brave young hearts
must meet responsibility. Tbe time for
preparation is in days of youth and each
kvasted hour will be a sad memory when
age comes on.

Ex-Senator F. M. Sanders of Montana
is reported as saying:- "The free silver
talk by newspapers and demagogues is
something wearying. There is not a
newspaper between Minneapolis and
the Pacific coast that is not full of cries
of '16 to 1,' 'crime of 1873,' and all the
rest of that rot." The first portion of
tbe quotation is true, but the latter is
not. It is evident that the ex-senator
does not read The Chronicle.

Salvatiou Aimy Anulversary.
Klickitat county ia having a serious
time over its Indebtedness. Being al
ready badly in debt, it a few years ago
placed the management of its affairs in
the bands of populists the class of men
who know all that is to be known of
financial science and the inevitable
hipiened; the country was swamped.
An effort has recently been made to
validate the illegitimate indebtedness
and bond the county; but this is likely
to fail. We understand that the county
commissioners have recently taken steps
to bond the indebtedness under the old
law. It is very ( greatly to be desired
that they ; will succeed.. An attempt is
being made to have all current funds
applied in payment of current expenses,
if the outstanding indebtedness is not
bonded this new ulan will of course re
sult in practical repudiation.
Wasco and Sherman county warrants
are selling at par. We doubt if Klicki
tat warrants can be sold at any price.
One year ago anyone who happened
on Second street in the early evening
might have seen two young men dressed
in the uniform of the Salvationists.
This was the beginning of the Salvation
Army work in The Dalles and last Satur
day . night the nrst anniversary was
celebrated. The army marched to Win
gate s nail where the exercises were
held. The large room had been well
decorated und a large number of seats
provided for the crowd. 1 be meeting
was an entbusiasticone conducted under
Salvation Army methods, which if not
understood by those on the outside seem
to be effectual in winning many to their
standard. Judged by the old scripture
verse that "By their fruits ye shall know
them," the Salvation Army is to be
praised fur their labor throughout the
world.
Sunday's meetings were conducted in
a similar manner except that in the
evening Major Morton gave a short out
line of the work in general, telling some
striking incidents about the usefulness
of the Salvation Army work in other
places. After the address followed the
swearing in of. new recruits. When it
came to the part assigned to the farewell
of Lieut. Ward some very complimentary
remarks were made about him and his
work. Lieut. Ward has been in The
Dalles about six months and has made
many friends by bis kind and earnest
manner. He has just been appointed to
tbe place of captain and will be placed
in charge of tbe army work at Corvallis.
Lieut. Ward then delivered a farewell
address which was well received by those
present. Mrs. Capt: Sharp of Seattle
added much to the exercise's by her
beautiful singing. Capt. Smith still re
mains in The Dalles and a new lieuten
ant will come in a few days tontake the
place made vacant by the departure of
Mr. Ward. .vv
The anniversary meetings continue to
night and it is expected a large audience
will be in attendance.

Tbe unfortunate incident which hap
pened Sunday morning shonld serve as
a lesson to the young men of The
Dalles. We say young men because
they are the ones in whom the deepest

W1U Destroy Grasshoppers.
Mr. Emil Schanno has received a
remedy for the grasshopper pest, which
is said to have been used in Cilitornia
with great efficacy. The grasshoppers
have been, something of a nuisance, this
season and tbe farmers will be glad to
hear of any remedy that will serve as a
preventative. Following is the prep
aration :
If grasshoppers or locusts should ap
pear in vineyards, take
Bran 100 pounds
Arsenic. '. . .- . .16 pounds
Sugar. ' .16 pounds
Mix bran and arsenic dry, then add
sugar dissolved in water to wet thor

tree or vine. Don't let poultry or do
mestic animals get at it. Locusts can
be smoked out of an orchard, but they
go to somewhere else.
Mr. Henry Cock, a pioneer resident of
North Yakima, died at his home near
that place Thursday night. Mr. Cock
was the brother of Mrs. Wm. Shackel

number of our citizens. For several
years he was a citizen of Walla Walla
and then removed to North Yakima.
He served one term in the Washington
