OVR BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
Dalles City has now called in the last
of its warrants, and, if the law is obeyed,
no more will be placed in the market.
We have been fortunate in liquidating
oar $57,000 indebtedness at a time when
capital was seeking investment in muici
Tal securities, and its owners were will
ing to take a smaller rate of interest
than during timej of business activity.
If this ends our bonding, experienceTt
is well ; but if the readiness with which
we disposed of our bonds tempts us to
create further obligations and borrow
more capital, it will be worse for the
city than our former condition, when
we ware paying 8 per cent on the in
debtedness, and struggling bard to pay
interest and reduce the principal.
do away with the long trestle over Mill
creek, and then guard the other bridge
with pro par railings, many accidents
would be avoided, and some lives no
doubt saved. What neceesity of engi
neering located the road across Mill
creek in its present position, has been,
and ever will be a mystery to ordinary
people. Perhaps, after a few more dam
age suits, the bridges will be made more
safe.

OVR FARMERS THANKFUL.
Never before has the wheat situation
attracted greater interest. In former
years a good price was such a certainty
that it hardly came into consideration ;
but the vast increase in foreign acreage
and the cheapened cost of production in
other countries has made it doubtful
whether the tiller of the eoil shall re
ceive a fair recompense lor his labor.
After the low prices of last year the farm
ers are all the more concerned that this
season give opportunity of recuperation.
Selfish as may be the thought, a short
age in other lands means better prices
with us. The latest reports indicate
that the fields of Minnesota and Dakota
will not bear their expected crops, and
that drouth there is working great dam
age. Eastern Oregon farmers should sing
a song of thankfulness that the time of
anxiety is past with them and soon the
noise of the threshing machine will be
heard in fields covered with golden
grain-
To the Editor: Possibly enough has
:jeen said, upon tne suoieci oi me tenu-
ncy of some of the boys and young men
f this community, -and we do not sup
xse that The Chronicle can change the
:ourse of those who have deliberately
;hosen recklessness, intemperance, or
Jdebauching. The law regulating the
granting of saloon licenses by the county I
court compels every applicant to give a I
bond in the sum of $1,000, conditioned!
upon his keeping an oraeriy nouse,n
closing his saloon on Sunday, refusing!
to sell to minors, habitual drunkards oil
. ,T " I
persons under tne innuenco oi uquor.
A similar legulation in respect to city
licenses, it it should be enforced, would
no doubt prevent some of the evils aris
ing out of the saloon business.
But another regulation ought to be
added and strictly enforced, and that is
the closing of saloons and bars from
midnight to G o'clock a. m. We see no
good reason to be urged against such a
regulation, and we believe the proprie
tors of all, except the worst dives, would
approve of it. But whether it meets
their approval or not, it should be en
forced. Young men would be infinitely
better off if no bairoom were open to
them after 12 o'clock ; ho boy should be
out from heme anywhere at that time
of night. We propose, and urge, that
an ordinance be passed that all saloons
he closed, promptly at 12 o'clock, and
that the sale of liquor at any place, ex
cept for medicinal pnrposes, between 12
midnight and 6 a. m. be punished by a
fine. We have very efficient officers,
who. we believe, will not hesitate to en
force, impartially and strictly, any reg
ulation the council may adopt. If any
one can suggest why such a regulation
is not both reasonable and salutary, we
should be glad to hear trom them.

Wasco county wariants are selling to
day at a premium of one per cent. Sev
eral of the county officials have been
offered this figure for their scrip, and
outside capitalists are eager to obtain
all warrants that can be had. The debt
of this county is larger than it should be
for the amount of taxable property, and
the taxpayers with a reducing proceeg
begun. At the same time our credit
abroad is very high, and people with
money to invest are looking for Wasco
county paper as a means of safe invest
ment and sure return. Even in the
darkest period of the financial strin
gency, claims against the county did not
lull below a ten-per-cent discount, and
wun tne nrst sign ot returning con
fidence quickly rose to par. We
wish as much could be said for our
neighboring county across the river
Wue management in her finances was
never needed more than at the present
time. A prompt declaration to the out
eide world that every warrant will be
paid and that the delay 19 caused only
by seeking the proper means, would go
a long ways towards reassuring those
who hold Klickitat warrants.
The contractors at the Cascades Locks
are building a large dredge for cleaning
out the sand at both entrances to the
Locks. The dredge will be in dimension
30x61) feet and will be finished in two
weeks. When done it will first be
placed at work in the nDper portion of
the canal cleaning out the entrance . and
when the bulkhead is" removed w
taken to the lower end. IIU contractors
still stick to their declaration that work
will be done by Christmas and the first
of the year will see steamers go from The
Dalles to Portland. A large force of
men are at work in day and night shifts
and around the grounds is an air of ac
tivity that if showing good results.

The results of the English elections
show a surprising victory for the con
servative party. The change of senti
ment rivals the elections of last year in
the United blates, and shows that this
country is not the only one that is sub
ject to sudden and radical transferring
of political power. Most of the noted
leaders in the liberal party bave fallen
by the wayside. Those who were elect
ed crept in by small majorities.- The
outlook for Ireland and Hume Rule is
dark enough now to please the most en
thusiastic tory. The party of Gladstone
ia outside the breastworks, and from
present signs their opponents are en
trenched too strongly for an early dis-lodgemeat.

QJne of the strongest proofs that the
Columbia river bar has lost its terrors is
seen when large Bhips sail from the
ocean and anchor in Astoria without the
services of a tug. The good ship Vi
dette, loaded with 600,000 feet of lum
ber, waited in vain for a tug to arrive,
and then the captain, provoked, came
in without one. There was not even a
pilot aboard acquainted -with the river,
and it had been years since the captaiu
bad crossed the bar. No more convinc

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best

a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
