THE ADVANTAGE. OF SITUATION.
Pendleton is greatly exercised be
cause through a change in the O. R.
& N. time card, traius from Spokane
to Portland go through Wallula
instead of making connections at
Pendleton as formerly. It is thought
by some pessimistic souls that the
change will injure Pendleton some
what in a business way. While this
fear is undoubtedly unfounded, yet a
city that depends entirely upon rail
road communication does not pos
sess the resources for growth that
belong to a place situated as The
Dalles is upon a navigable rirer.
The Dalles once was dependent
upon the whim of a single railroad,
but that condition has been done
away through the labors of energetic
citizens, and by the agency of our
boat line we have competitive rates
that prevent exorbitant freight
charges.
Either with or without the open
ing of -the locks, The Dalles will find
its gteatest treasure the Columbia
river, upon whose 'broad bosom the
commerce of a great empire will
some day float to the sea.
The building of good roads into
the interior and the establishment of
one or more manufacturies will give
this city such an impetus that atten
tion will be attracted to it from all
over the coast.
FROM THE FRYING PAN INTO
THE FIRE.
. Already the rush to Alaska is
Laving disastrous results. The in
flux of miners has been so great that
there is neither food nor accommo
tion for those who have rushed
northward in search of gold. The
stories that come from Juneau indi
cate that trouble is imminent and
that the men who have been disap
pointed in their hopes will resort to
extreme measures.
The eagerness with which these
deluded men took advantage of the
cheap, transportation rates to seek
another land is only another evi
dence of the unsatisfactory condi
tions that exist in this country.
The good times promised by the
Democratic party have failed to
come, and in their place we have dis
organization and distress.
Not until .a protective system is
again in force and a currency estab
lished beyond danger of debasement
will the conditions change for the
better. It is idle to talk of revived
prosperity till these .conditions are
brought about. Until that time cap
ital will be unwilling to invest, and
without capital . thero is no work
.for the laboring man. . .
Tonight the Commercial Club will
hold an important meeting. The
subject of. the Fossil road will be
considered! No matter of more im-
portance to the town has come be
fore our citizens for many months,
and a large number of business men
should attend this evening and by
presence, at least, lend encourage
ment to the work the Commercial
Club is trying to do. Merchants,
capitalists and professional men are
U interested in the expansion of
our city's trade. The opportunity is
offered us of , attracting business
from a rich and extensive country,
and it is a pait of wisdom to hasten
an acceptance. A large attendance
at the meeting tonight will show that
our business men are awake to the
city's needs and encourage those to
whom the work of investigating the
project will be delegated.
COMMENT ABOUT THE LOCKS.
Vancouver Columbian : The Dalles
Chronicle bas had its X rays focused
upon the Cascade locks and after giving
credit to its congressional representa
tives says ; The men whom we distrust
are the government engineers and the
contractors. Oar faith in them is at a
low ebb. In the interest of a suffering
people it is to be hoped that if this
money is secured from congress it will
be so distributed that the purpose for
which it was appropriated may be
eerved.
Troutdale Champion: Is it possible
that for fear of not getting the. last ap
propriation granted, which was at that
time thought sufficient to complete
them, that this work was not taken in
consideration, thus not only deceiving
congress, but the farmers who have
waited so long and patiently to see the
Cascade locks completed? It is about
time the government pnt a stop to this
procrastination as to when the locks
shoold be opened by granting the neces
sary funds and insisting upon the entire
work being completed with no more
spasmodic jobs tacked on.
Walla Walla Statesman : It was an
nounced a few months ago that the locks
at the Cascades would be completed by
March 1st. When that date came it
was suddenly discovered that the walls
of the channel were not safe, and that
many thousands of dollars and several
years of labor would yet be necessary in
order to make the locks of any practical
service. The people of Eastern Wash
ington have about lost all' patience with
these repeated delays. They demand
that the work be pushed to immediate
completion, and they are ready to vote
for a representative in congress, regard
less of party, who will- do most toward
haying the work of improving the
channel of the Columbia pushed to an
early completion. They should make
their will manifest in the congressional
conventions, and thus make sure that
there shall be no further trifling with
this vital question.

one dreaded disease that Bcience bas

that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
