ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR
EXPANSTON.
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-

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.

WHY ELECTRIC L5SHTS HISS.
Due to tfae'Heated Carbon Points Evap
orating. 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. Mr. J. O. Dayen-
port, ex manager of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution at
Fort Bragg, Cal., says they sell large
quantities of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy at the company's store and that he
has himself used this remedy for a severe
cold and obtained immediate relief.
This medicine prevents any tendency of
a cold toward pnenmonia and insures a
prompt recovery. For sale by Blakeley
& Houghton, Druggist. '
In a recent editorial the Salem, Or.,
Independent says: "Time and again
have we seen Chamberhviu's Cough
Remedy tried and never without the
most satisfactory results. Whenever we
see a person afflicted with hoarseness,
with a cough or cold, we invariably ad
vise them to get Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy; and when they do, they never
regrett. It always does the work, and
does it .well." For sale by Blakeley &
