taxpayer should endeavor to attend the
deliberations. The meeting, which will
be held next Monday, is called for im
portant considerations.' The matter of
a new building must be settled, and far
ther agitation, if there is any, regarding
teachers' salaries, must be disposed of.
It is the duty of every taxpayer, not
only to attend the meeting, but take an
active part in its deliberations. Civic
spirit of which an interest in every
thing pertaining to the welfare of the
community is a manifestation cannot
be cultivated too strongly.

BROKEN PROMISES.
March 1st will be here tomorrow, but
no boat from Portland will come with it.
Despite the repeated declarations of Mr,
Day that the locks would be sufficiently
completed by this date to admit of the
passage of a boat, those who were trust
ing enough to believe what was told
them, are disappointed.
The people of Eastern Oregon have
been fooled repeatedly regarding the
completion of the locks, and it looks as
if the greatest piece of deception is yet
to come. Of what value is scientific
engineering if such a blunder could be
made, as it is said has been made, in
not providing for walls of masonry be
tween the lock gates of the canal. The
locka have been a money-making insti
tution for everyone connected with
them, except the people whose money
Las been appropriated for their con
struction, and the faith of the people
has been shattered. The locks should
have been finished years ago. Accord
ing to Mr. Day's positive statement a
boat should pass through tomorrow, but
the latter's promise is proven false, and
the prospect for the speedy operation of
the locks is exceedingly dull. It is no
time to smooth matters or speak honied
words. The people of Eastern Oregon
have kept up their truBt and swallowed,
everything that was told them. It looks
as if there had been a deliberate design
to rob the people of their promised frait
Thedelayjof a year in the locks' opera
tion is dangerous. It means that leav
ing the work in an uncompleted condi
tion will cause injury, to repair which
more money will be needed.
The whole thing is bristling with de
sign, and if the people of Eastern Ore
gon and our friends at Astoria submit
without a ringing protest they are un
worthy of the efforts which, in some
quarters, have been made in their be
half. We do not want to be incendiary
neither can we .be oblivious to facte
that etare us in the face.
Canyon City is striving for quicker
communication with the outside world
A telephone company has been formed
stock in which is being liberally taken
by citizens. As rapidly as circumstances
will permit, telephone communication
will be established with some point on
the railroad. Whatever place chosen as
the telephone terminus will receive the
Sweater share of Grant county's trade
The Dalles was once the exclusive ship
ping point for that section, and still
bandies a large portion of its wool, and
with the betterment of roads and estab
lishing of quick means of communica
tion, the shippers of Grant county
would again turn their attention to this
city. The matter of establishing tele
phone communication with the interior
is one worth considering.
The time in which England ordered
Venezuela to pay the indemnity for the
arrest of British Inspector Barnes, has
expired, but we hardly think England
will be preciptous in enforcing her de
mands. British eentiment, especially
among the Tories, has undergone a de
cided change within the last six weeks.
Coercion has given away to a wish for
arbitration, and the Englishmen bave
discovered that a war between their
country and the United States would
give the continental nations a ldng-
looked-for opportunity t give English
domineering a severe set-back.
From time to time interesting bits of
inside information regarding the actions
of the late legislature are revealed. The
controversy between Sheriff Knight and
Representative Gates of Washington
county throws a light upon the tactics
employed by the sheriffs to secure the
passage of the mileage bill. The less
that is said by members of the legisla
ture about their actions the belter it
will be for their future political prospects.
Revolution is rife in Central America
again. The citizens ot .Leon are seeking
to overthrow the existing Nicarauguan
government for no other reason ' than
that someone else wants to be president.
By their continued uprisings the people
of these southern countries will demon
strate that they are unfit for republican
rule, and need the domination of a
strong monarchy. .
When Baby was sick, we gavo her Castorts.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla.
When she became Miss, she clung, to Castorio.
When she had Children, she gave them Castorla,
Geo. W. Jenkins, edisor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments '.of children said:
"When ray children have croup there is
July one patent medicine J ever use, and
mat is Chamberlain's Co ch Remedy.
It possesses some medica properties
that relieve the little sufferei a immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the beet
cou medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. -It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it contains noth
ing injurious. For - sale by Blakeley &
Houghton, Druggist.

In a recent editorial the Salem, Or.',
Independent says: "Time and again
have we seen' Chamberlain'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
regret it. It always doee the work, and
does it well." For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton, Druggist. .

The comparative statistics of schools
published several days ago, shows that
the schools of The Dalles are being
wisely managed. Pendleton, with 900
school children, pays $3,163 for their in
struction. The Dalles, with children of
school age numbering 1,212 pays $7,995
for its schools. One of the reasons for
the .satisfactory conditions of our school
system is the healthy interest which
taxpayers and citizens take in its wel
fare. The coming school meeting should
