A THRIVING CITY.
If The Dalles is not growing, then all
signs fail. In every portion of town
residences are going op, many of which
will be among the most attractive in the
city ; no desirable tenement boo pea are
to 'be found unoccupied; our public
chools closed with the largest number
of scholars enrolled in the History ol the
ity ; the O. R. & N. Co. are doing a
profitable business at this point; the
boat line is doing more business than
ever, except possibly during the flood
season of 1804; the warehouses have
been and are filled to overflowing and
merchants are doing well. This is not
due so much to returning prosperity as
to the fact that The Dalles is favorably
located, is under the bondage of no
transportation company, baa a. fruitful
country tributary to it and has enter
prising business men. About all we
need to make us entirely prosperous is a
pay roll that will distribute each week
good wages to a goodly number of labor
era and mechanics.
THE UNITED STATES AHEAD.
: The nobility of England, the kind who
sever earned a penny by labor, beat the
Cornell dudes at Henley the other day
and therefore conclude that the United
States is of little consequence, and pos
sibly we are of little utility to the nobil
ity; but we are ahead of the world.
We taught the world to run ships by
steam and we have in the St. JLouis,
City of Paris and City of New York the
finest 8 team ships afloat. We built and
-operated the firBt railway locomotive
and we have the best equipped railroads
in the world. We first transmitted
messages by the telegraph and taught
the world to converse with people miles
away by the telephone. The phono
graph, electric light, electric motor were
our inventions. The sewing machines
and typewriters; the agricultural ma
chinery and appliances which sow, reap
and thresh the crops of the world were
largely, if not wholly, developed here.
Our trotting horses and our bicycles
have the world's record.
In all thepe and in thousands of other
matters of consequence in the world of
commerce, science and manufacturing
we are ahead; bnt these are of no in
terest to the English victors at Henley
And their friends. They can beat us a
race between dudes, who never worked
and they are satisfied. So are we.
THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.
It ia now pretty well settled that the
homestead exemption act of 1893, is in
valid by reason of a change made in the
act in one house which was never ac
quiesced in by the other. W bether the
defect was intentional on the part of the
enemies of the act or was due to the
-carelessness of some clerk will never be
known ; whatever the canse the law is
useless. This is not the first time legis
lation has been thus thwarted. Incom
petency is more frequently the cause of
the trouble than dishonesty, and yet we
continue to send men to the legislature
because of their political popularity
rather than because of their fitness to
make laws, and the legislators continue
to appoint clerks because of their polit
ical pull rather than because of their
clerical ability. Imperfect legislation
aaakes business for the courts and courts
make taxes for the people to pay and
payment of taxes makea us grumble;
but all this does not make us better
voterB. We will continue to vote for the
politician and the politician will con
tinue to create clerkships and fill them
' 'with careless or incompetent vote getters.
' In a recent issue of the Drover's
Journal -was published a statement to
the effect that the secretary of the in
terior bad requested the attorney-general
to direct the United States attorney
for Oregon to commence criminal pro
ceedings against the tresspassers upon
the forest reserves in this state, under
an act of congress of 1875. This law
prescribes a fine not to exceed f 500 for
each trespass. We pi esume this state
ment is based upon the first order of the
secretary, the one which at the request
of Senator Mitchell was rescinded. If
not, the government ia acting in ex
tremely bad faith, for the Ehtepmen who
are now on the' reservation are there by
reason of the order permitting them to
go.' But no jury in Oregon would con
vict nnder these circumstances.
It is reported that ' wool is selling in
Salem at 12)4 cents. We are not sur
prised; the local supply is limited and
they have a woolen mill ; that ia what
The Dalles should have. Oar flouring
mills pay from one to two cents more for
wheat than other buyers ; they thereby
get the choice of the crop, make the best
flour In Oregon and are compelled to run
to their lull capacity. The same condi
tions would exist with a good woolen
mill.
The prune industry of Wasco county
s just beginning to be developed and a
ew years will see our present acreage
greatly increased. A visit was made
yesterday to the new prune perforator
and grader at Young'? wagon shop and
an examination shows that the machine
will probably bofgreat aid Jin-
the!
prune business. Instead of dipping the
fruit in lye, iu order to break the skin,
as ia done in California, the prunes are
placed on narrow slits covered with fine
nails almost like needle points. A shak
ing process is then undergone and the
nails make email punctures in the akin
of the fruit, not large enough to lacerate
it but just so the heat can enter the
prune. The fruit paeses over sieves
which act as graders, the smaller ones
falling through in one tray while the
larger ones pass on to another. Fruit
growers may possibly find au examina
tion of the machine interesting.
