deserved success and his fame is now as

Honest Boys.
The boys of The Dalles must be a
pretty honest lot after all, notwithstand
ing Ibe disclosures -made epme time ago
iu. The Chronicle cocerning the
Dirty . Dozen" c!nb Go. FitzGerald,
Glenn Patterson, JohHFitzGerald and
Clint Bradshaw are' erAitled to the ut
most confidence and reepect of this com
munity, and if either pi themver comes
up fo" congress we wall vote for them.
This morning ''these boys brought to
Tbe Chronicle office a pocketbook con
taining over a dollar in small change.
There was enough money to buy them
all a ticket to the circus, and enough left
to buy peanuts for the . elephant, but
heroically shutting -their eyes and ears
to the well-nigh overpowering allure
ments of that acme of a boy's delight the
circus they choose the part of honesty.
They may well rejiice in' that victory;
over the tempter wbo'is'ever in wait' to
start boys on the downward path of dis
honesty and deceit. If no one claims
the money, then of course its all right.
