THE DALLES AiYD YAKIMA.
In days not long gone by, the road be
tween The Dalles and Yakima was, dur
ing the summer season, lined with
freight teams ; the road was good, feed
and water plenty and the distance
ninety-fire miles not great, Bot since
the competition of the Northern Pacific,
freighters on this road have retired.
A gentleman of this city, who recently
visited Yakima, reports that the wool
men of that section will next year revive
the freighting business from there here
and ship their wool to this market;
prices here this year are from 2 to 3 cents
higher than there and they will ship
here by team.
There is no reason who these teams
will not desire to take loads of mercban
dise in return as of yore; it behooves
our merchants to cast an eye in this
direction. Our transportation facilities
are snch that we can furnish them goods
upon just as good terms as Tacoma and
Seattle merchants and the freight from
here there, we venture to say, will be
quite as low as from the sound cities.
KLICKITAT COUNTY'S FINANCES
The Goldendale Sentinel has some ex
cellent counsel in its last issue, concern
ing the payment of the indebtedness of
Klickitat county, among other things, it
says :
The county cannot exist and maintain
its organization with such a condirion of
finances and every one should be in
terested in straightening out the tangle.
Building of roads and bridges and all
other expenses, whether necessary or
unnecessary, must be cutoff until the
improvements and benefits we have al
ready enjoyed have been paid for.
There is nothing but sound sense in
these suggestions. Counties and cities
ought to manage their business in the
same manner that conservative careful
business men manage theirs ; when they
have not the means to obtain what they
desire, find a way to do without it;
make expenditures come within the in
come. But it is much easier to spend
money than to devise means to avoid,
spending it, and county commissioners
and city councils too often adopt the
easiest course; the inevitable follows
and the municipality suddenly awakes
to the realization of bankruptcy.
We sincerely hope Klickitat county's
efforts to recover its financial health will
be entirely successful.
The price of wheat has taken a long
jump in the right direction ; a rise of 5
cents a day would soon bring it where
Eastern Oregon farmers want it. The
market reporter, however, forgot to sav
anything about silver; even the popu
lists will forget that "the crime of 1873"
has anything to do with the price ot
wheat if the price will only continue up
ward ontil our particular populists can
realize 50 or 60 cents per bushel. With
wheat at CO cents, Harvey and his
"Financial School" will be a back num
ber; he will be the loser, but no other
harm will result.
Oregon horses are really going to be
coined in accordance with the school of
horse sense, heretofore taught by The
Chronicle; before being put into cir
culation they will be tinned. The horse
mentis now in full operational Linnton,
near Portland, and Eastern Oregon
ranges are furnishing the horses.' The
financial problem is solved, not by
Harvey, Horr or Carlisle, but by The
Chronicle and the mint at Linnton,
business is picking up and the prosperity
of Oregon is assured.
A telephone line is being constructed
from Pendleton to Canyon City; why
should not there be a line from here to
Prinevile? It would cross a more
thickly populated portion of the state
and reach a larger city. Which of our
competing companies will occupy the
terntorv first?
Ihe Crop Outlook.
Mr. P. T. Knowles, who is travelling
for the medicine company at Dufur,
called at The Chronicle office this mo-n--ing.
He has been travelling extensively
through Eastern Oregon, Washington
and Idaho and noticed the condition of
the crops. Of any place he has visited
in the Northeast, the Wamic settlement
in Wasco county and the country in the
vicinity of Walla Walla will produce the
best harvest. The grain in both these
localities is in splendid condition. The
. yield in Wasco and Sherman county
will be better on the average than in
most places in Eastern Oregon and
Washington with the exception of Walla
Walla. In Montana the harvest will
not be nearly to the average. Stock,
Mr. Knowles found, in . splendid condi
tion. Large purchases of cattle have
been made in Eastern Oregon by Mon
tana buyers. Joseph Sbenberger and
Dan Nettleton bought over 2000 bead of
cattle near Huntington and shipped
the in to Montana. Parties from Omaha
have also made large purchases. Mr.
Knowles reports business reviving in all
localities and that during the last five
months his sales of medicine have
ranged between $2000 and $3000. He is
now on his way to Willamette valley.
Mr. Winnns, who lives at the fisheries
aUOVC AII3 XU1U3S,, IIBES 111 Ilia lAjaQCOBlJU
n. sstpncil hear'niT the name of Cantainf
Meriweather Lewis, who in companyj
with Clarke made the famous Lewis andj
Clark expedition in 1S04. ' The stencil
was used for marking the goods belong-1
ing to Capt. Lewis and came into the!
possession of the Winans family a long
time ago. The relic is in good condition
and its ancient appearance tells a mate
story of an early day when the North
west territory was unknown by white
man and echoed only the soft tread of
tbe Indian, as he carelessly wandered in
rtnrBiiit rf ttierhiRf or rp.vpllpd in ripadlv
warfare. Mr. Winanrhas promised to
ship the stencil to a relative of Capt.
Lewis in the East, who wishes to look at
it and promises faithfully to return it.
The express company will be given in
structions not to let it go from the office,
so richly is it treasured by its owner.
Among the numerous persons who
have been cured ot. rheumatism by
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, mention
shonld be made of Mrs. Emily Thome,
of Toledo, Wash., who says : "I have
never been able to procure any medicine
that would relieve me of rheumatism
like Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I have
also nsed it for lame back with great
success, it is the best liniment 1 nave
ever ueed, and I take pleasure in recom
mending it to mv friends.' For sale by
