As a city ambitious for commercial ImportaLc, The Dalles sh6uld improve every opportunity to increase her influ ence. Good roads is one of these; quick communication with the country -whose eupply point this city is, is an other. Some time ago the subject of a telephone line from The Dalles to Prine ville was mentioned , in the Prineville paper, but the idea was allowed to slumber through lack of agitation. The time is now ripe for this matter an im portant one for the cities at the terminal points and the intermediate country to be discnssed. f The people of Crook county have al ways done their trading in The Dalles, and from expressions noticed in 'the press and statements made by the busi ness men of Prineville. we think we are right in saying that a spirit of friend liness exists between the people to the south of us and the business men of The Dalles. There can be no doubt but that a telephone line to Prineville is needed to facilitate trade between The Dalles and the business men of Crook county. It-is probable at the first that the line would not pay,' but with a greater famil iarity with its use and benefits and. the settling up of the intermedaite country, with an increase' of way stations, the enterprise would, within a comparative ly ehort time, pass into a paying con cern. The trade of Crook county is one of the most lucrative the Dalles mer chants enjoy, and every endeavor should be made to cement the ties both com- 1 : :i ,v,;,.K tucii;iaiijr nun m ocutiuiciib nuivu tun nect one place with the other. A busi ness man of Prineville, whose word or note is good for many times the sum ex pressed, stated, within the hearing. of the writer a few days since, that be would make a cash contribution of $500 tow ards buildirig a telephone line from The J&alles to Prineville. This generous offer could no doubt be duplicated in many instances. Here is a field for our Commercial Club to work to good advantage. Here 1b an opportunity for this organization to prove the faith of its promoters, and by taking hold of the matter, investigate and consider the feasibility of the plan. "We would think it a good step if a com mittee were appointed to collect data relative to the cost of construction, the time necessary for its completion, and gather some information regarding the benefits to "be obtained. This is the legitimate purpose for which the Com mercial Club was organized, and the work done in this instance may lead to good results in another. At the very least nothing can be lost by determin ing whether-or not the cost of building and operating a telephone line to Prine ville would be commensurate with the good that the section through which it should run would obtain. Between now and March 28th the Re publicans of Wasco county will De con sidering the claims of various candidates for office. The great local issue is re trenchment, the cntting down of ex penses at every possible juncture. The time is past when incumbents hold the offices for all there is in it, and the peo ple expect that the men chosen shall represent the idea of economy in all de partments. In the list of offices none are more important than those of county judge and assessor. The men that fill tbeee stations have a direct dealing with the property of every citizen, and upon their fairness, judgment and honesty de pends, in a large measure, the wise . management of the county finances. The Republicans should see to it that the men nominated for these offices should be of the best material the party affords. The country is in good humor to cele brate tke fortieth anniversary of the brth of the republican party. Never since the clouds of war hovered over the nation has there been a greater need for the restoration to power of the party ' under whose guidance this country has seen its greatest prosperity. Four years of Democratic administration have ebown the people the vital need of gov ernment under the principles of the party that believes in the protection of home industries ; the maintenance of a vigorous foreign plicy and the enact ment of a sound financial system. The fuss that is being made over the new fiity-ton gun at. the Lime Point for tifications near San Francisco shows how great is the feeling of helplessness in our present coast" defenses. The gov ernment has "been at work three years upon these lortincations, ana only one of the three guns .ordered is finished. The task of providing adequate defenses for our' coasts is a great one, and if the United States intends, to continue in the front rank of nations, she must make the same progress that they are making. No time should be lost in passing Sena tor Squire's , bill, or one similar to it. The Massachusetts Democrats have nominated Secretary of State OIney as their candidate for the presidency In all the wreck and confusion that has overtaken the Democratic leaders Olney comes forth the most unscathed. More votes would be polled for him than for any other candidate his party could name. President Cleveland is in accord with the country again when he says that congress must act. Rich and poor alike are suffering from the inertia of the senate. If the president can devise any means of bringing the senators to their senses, many of his past shortcomings will bo forgiven. Republican County Convention.

Prof. Sylvanus Thompson has been answering" a question which has often puzzled the public. The arc light pro ceeds from the points of two little car bon rods as large as one's little finger. Prof. Thompson explains what is the state of the carbon when the lamp is throwinfr out its light. He says, reports the Pittsburgh Dispatch, that the car bon is sometimes actually melting, a thing1 that was until recently thought impossible. Moreover, he says that when a light is hissing tne liquia carDon is reaiiy boiling. In ordinary combustion the state of the arc crater is such that the solid carbon below is covered with a layer or film of liquid carbon just boil ing or evaporating off. When hissing takes place the new state of things is set up. He says: "If you watch a short, hiss ing arc you Will see a column of light concentrating itself on a narrow spot and the spot keeps moving about and is very unstable in position, as well as in the amount of light it gives out.. The crater surface after the arc has been hissing is found to be literally honey combed. 'When the arc is hissing you can see little bits erupted cut, and the hissing seems to be compared to the hissing1 which takes place in boiling water. There is, in fact, exactly the same kind of difference between the silent ere and the hissing ore as between quiet evap oration and a noisy boiling." AFRICAN CLIMATE. On the Central Plateau It Is Cool and Not Unhealthy. ' As for the climate, it is no worse than that found elsewhere in tropic lands. The heat is not so great as in India or as it is sometimes in Njew York in summer. Fortunately, writes Henry M. Stanley in Century, the coast belt on both sides of Africa, where the heat is greatest, and where the climate is most unhealthy, is narrow. In four hours a railwajT train at ordinary speed would enable us to cross it, and so avoid the debilitating temperature. Ascend ing the sides of the coast range by the same means of conveyance, we shouia in two hours reach a rolling plain which gradually rises in height from 2,500 to 3,500 feet above the sea. Here the climate is sensibly cooler, and the white man can safely work six hours of the day in the open without fear of sunstroke, though he must not count on immunity from fever. In from ten to twelve hours the traveler by train would meet another steep rise, and would find himself from 5,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea, on the broad cen tral plateau of the continent, which varies from 600 to 1,000 miles across. It is in this section that the great lakes, snowy mountains and tallest hills are found. Here we have cold nights and a hot sun when the skies are not,eIoud cd,, though the air in the shade is fre quently cool enough for an overcoat; and it is on this immense upland that the white man, when compelled by cir cumstances, may find a home. HYPNOTIZE THE SHAVERS. Barbers Require Strong: Nerves and Will to Resist Magnetic Influence. "Did you ever know," said a Ninth street barber to a Philadelphia Record man, "that certain men who come into tnis 8 nop to De snavea exert a queer hypnotic, influence over one or more of the barbers? It's a fact. Now, there's a man over there at the next chair but one. He doesn't look like a nervous fellow, does he? No! Well, he isn't nervous as a rule, but there's a certain man-aoout-tovvn whose very appear ance m the doorway sets that man shiv ering like a man in a fit. He could no more shave that particular customer than fly. Another man who used to work in this shop a couple of years ago was similarly affected, but to a greater degree, by a prominent business man, a Mr. B . Whenever Mr. B came into the shop the barber would grow deathly pale and quiver spasmodically. It frequently compelled him to knock off work for a whole day, and finally the doss naa to aiscnarge mm. aaczi Here's another funny thing. Did you ever know that the average barber hates nothing so much as to have to shave a man's upper lip? I don't know why it is, but I feel that way myself. I'd rather lose a day's pay than shave off a man s mustache, and when a smooth-faced man comes into this shop you ought to see the way each of ns 'soldiers' and "monkeys' around, so as to keep him from getting in Qur chairs."

The exposure to all sorts and condi tions of weather that a lumberman is called upon to endure in the camps often produces severe colds, rhici, if not promptly checked, result in convts tion or pneumonia.
