THE ADVANTAGE OF RIVER
TOWNS.
Spokane ia complaining because the
merchants of 'Waterville, a town situ
ated in tho Big Ben'l country, foity
miles from the railroad, are enabled to
buy goods cheaper than the Spokane
jobbers can sell them. The facts seem
to be that the Merchants' Association of
Waterville mao an agreement with the
Great Northern railroad whereby the
merchants wonM combine and ship in
carload lot?, rovided the Great North
ern would provide free steamer service
between Waterville (situated near the
Columbia river) and Wenatchec, the
nearest point on the railroad. Tho ar
rangement was carried out, and resulted
in the Great Northern road securing an
entrance to that portion of the Big Bend
country, heretofore beyond its reach, and
shipping the supplies from other places
than Spokane. From the latter place
freight must be taken to Waterville
via Coulee City with a wagon haul of
fifty miles.
To a city like Spokane, which aims to
do the wholesale trade for a large area,
of course the matter is an annoying one.
In the very beginning of their efforts to
increase the circle of commercial con
trol, Spokane merchants find opposition
from an unexpected quarter. Com
pluftit has been made to the railway
authorities, but those dignitaries dis
claim any discrimination.
The whole controversy, of which the
Watervillo merchants have the best,
goes to show that a city situated near a
r ivigable river has a natural advantage
which artificial creations cannot over
come. J Waterville merchants will con
tinue to sell cheaper than the merchants
of towns who are dependent upon one
means of obtaining supplies. It is this
advantage over interior competitors that
will result in the commercial growth
and importance of The Dalles. Since
the instituting of the Regulator line of
steamers the merchants of this city have
"received a reduction of over one-halt in
freight rates. ' This difference represents"
profit to the merchant, or saving to the
consumer, or both, and prevents so
much money from going to other places
When the locks are opened and the cost
of transferring the freight is obviated,
the rates wilt be still further reduced,
and Dalles merchants will be able to sell
at figures as cheap as those of Portland
merchants. Terminal rates will be se
cured and The Dalles become the whole'
sale supply point for the country to the
south, east and north of us. This con
d'tioo will cause the establishment
of branches of Portland wholesale
houses, resulting id the investment of
increased capital and employment cf
more labor. This is but one of the good
' results the opening of the locks will
cause. Otner2 will be developed when
the event has occurred. . .; ..... .
simplicitv, frugality, economy and seri
ousness. When respect for the founda
tion principles disappear, there is dan
ger In - the corner-stone." . The sermon
was a prophetic one, and called atten
tion, in an impressive manner, to the
dangers that lie' in the course of our
great republic. The press and the pul
pit are the greatest agencies for good in
awakening people to a realization that
"eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
THE NORTHWEST SENATORS AND
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Pendleton East Oregonian: .-The
Washington congressmen and senators
also propose' to rob the whole people of
the country for the benefit of the owners
of land values of a few towns in Wash
ington. Senator Squire has introduced
bills for public buildings at Seattle and
Tacoma, each to cost $200,000. Senator
Wilson introduced a bill for a site at
Spokane to cost $150,000, and for a build
ing at Walla Walla to cost the same
amount. There is no real need for any
of these buildings. Structures to cost
one-tenth of the sums asked for in these
appropriations would be ample to house
all of the government's needs in these
towns for years to come. To expend
such Eums in these places as asked for
would be a criminal waste of money and
labor.
Fossil Journal : . If Senator . Mitchell
should get all his pension and relief bills
through, Oregon would have flush times
for. a while. Seriously, while we favor
the re-election of Mr. Mitchell to the
senate in preference to any ot tier man,
we would like better to see him practice
less buncombe, in the way of introduc
ing bills that he knows can never pass,
and that should not pass, and confine
himself to the good work that he un
doubtedly does lor Oregon, witbout its
accompaniment of vote-getting taffy and
tapioca. This applies as forcibly to
Congressman Hermann, whose pension
bills likewise fill about a couple of news
paper columns.
Mr. Bayard, our talkative minister to
England, is inclined to treat the resolu
tion introduced into congress regarding
him, rather lightly, and speaks of the
matter as the result of a "silly season"
in American. Doubtless Mr. Bayard
refers to .the November election as tho
"silly season" Bince, in a sense, the at
tempt to censure Bayard- was' a result of
that unfortunate event for democracy.
The country has become very tired of
Mr. Bayard and the party he represents,
and the unwarranted statements, made
in all possible bad taste, are exceedingly
odious to the people d the United
States. If a republican victory, over
whelming in its nature, can be called a
""silly season,'" those people who wanted
a change in 1892 will wish now that the
country had passed through only a
"iilly season," instead of the period if
insanity that it did experience.
The heavy storm which has been ras
ing on the coast will, it is feared, settle
the fate of the disabled Stiathnevis.
The storms have raged in the vicinity
where the vessel is supposed to be, and
the chances are that theStrathnevis will
be added to the list which includes the
Brother Jonathan, Pacific, Colima, and
other steamers which have been buried
under the Pacific's waves. The present
year has been a disastrous ono to navi
gation, and the list of overdue vessels is
large.
Dr. Locke, one of Portland's eloquent
preachers, answering the question
"Why do republics die?" in a Sunday
evening 'sermon, eaid : "Republics die
from extravagance, luxury and frivolity.
Nations, like families, are founded upon
The popularitv of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and the high esteem in
which it is helds leads us to believe it to
bean article of great worth and merit.
We have the pleasure of giving the ex
perience of three prominent citizens .of
Redondo Beach, Ca!., in the nse of the
remedy. .Mr. A. V.-Trudel! says: "I
have always received prompt relief when
I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy."
Mr. James Orchard says : 'T am satis
fied that Chamberlain's Cough remedy
cured rav cold.-' Mr. J. M. Hatcher
gays: ' "For three years I have used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my
family and its results have' always been
satisfactory." For -sale bv Blakelev &
