SATURDAY, - FEBRUARY 15, 1896
CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK.
Aa spring opens, among the topics
that will be brought np for the consid
eration of the people of Wasco and Sher
man counties will be the matter of the
Rattlesnake road. Through the efforts
of one or two residents of Sherman
county, aided by enterprising business
men of The Dalles, this project-was put
under way and funds subscribed to in
sure its completion. Most of the grade
lip the east bank of the Deschutes has
been completed, and the work done
gives promise that the grade, when fin
ished, will fill every need which caused
its construction.
Fro an the top of the hill direct to the
Grant and Cross Hollow road the route
Ilea through an uneven country, over
which, it is said, teams loaded with
wool could not pass without difficulty.
From the summit of Rattlesnake hill,
extending in a southeasterly direction,
lies Gordon ridge, a well-known land
mark in Sherman county, upon the
summit of which a road of light grade
could be built, intersecting the Grant
Cross Hollow road immediately west of
Moro, and providing a direct route to
the Deechutea river for teams from
Prineville and places far to the south.
Traffic from these points, which crosses
the Deschutes, is now compelled to
travel the toll road, to obviate which
condition the construction of the new
grade was agitated.
At the time the Rattlesnake project
-was discussed it was understood, and
the matter so represented to the business
men of The Dalles, that this road along
the Gordon ridge would be built and the
fall benefits from the construction of the
Rattlesnake road be obtained. The
, opening of the road mentioned would
enable the wool and freight wagons
from Crook and Grant counties to reach
the Deschutes over a smooth road of
gradual descent, with no toll to be ex
acted. We are informed that only by
the building of the Gordon ridge road
-will the full benefit of the Rattlesnake
route be reaped. For this reason we
trust the matter will be urged with all
possible speed. Sherman county is in
terested iu securing every possible means
of communication with this city.
The opening of the locks means that
The Dalles will be more than ever the
wholesale supply point for the country
south and east, and good roads mean
less freight rates, and as a result better
prices for the products of the farmer and
stock-raiser, while their necessary sup
plies will be furnished them at cheaper
rates.
The rise in wheat and its continnance
at a satisfactory figure has caused plow
ing to be begun with expectations of
good returns. While the conditions
justify a belief that the harvest next
season will be large and he price better
than it Las been since the slump of two
years ago, yet the farmers should re
member that it is not wise to put all
their eggs in one basket. Wasco county
can raise other things beside wheat.
Diversified farming represents progress
and offers better inducements for pros
perity. The defeat of Morrill's motion to take
up the tariff bill in the eeuate Thursday
will.still further reduce that body in the
public estimation. The republicans,
with few exceptions, supported the mo
tion. Indignation will be turned, not
bo much against the democrats who op-'
posed the motion through principle, as
against renegade republican senators like
Daboise, Teller, Jonos of Nevada, Carter
a iid Power of Montana, and others of
ther ilk. These men, by placing selfish
interests above consideration for the
nation, have prostituted the high and
honorable position of United States sen
ators and made it a term almost of re
proach. Never in our history was
statesmanship in the senate needed
more than now, and never, seemingly,
was there such a. lack of it. By con
trast the house of representatives is
surrounded with a halo of excellence.
By all means let the Fitzsimmons
Maher flight take place in London. Eng
land can haye the disgrace and America
will regain rome of the gold she has lost
during the period of export.
