IT IS ALWAYS EARNED.
.There are several .points of view
from which the Clondyke excite
ment mar be viewed, and almost any
of the estimates made by those now
pn the ground wjJl show that how
fever rich the ground may be, history
. will repeat itself. It is a proposition
capable ' and easy of demonstration
that the gold product of the world
has cost more in hard labor than it
would have taken to have earned all
ot it working at miners wages, or
even less. This was so in California,
where all the elements and circum
stances combined to make it the
gold miners' paradise.
' Let us examine the Clondyke situ
ation from the estimates made by the
enthusiastic ones there. One writes:
"The Clondyke next year will pro
duce $50,000,000, and there will be
40,000 people here."' Another says :
Tbe Clondyke will produce next
year 110,000,000, and there will be
20,000 people here." - The same
writers tell us it will take, at the low
est calculation, $750 to get into the
Clondyke with a year's provisions.
Now for the first estimate, 40,000
people paying $750 each to get into
the Clondyke, would part with just
$30,000,000. That is what it would
cost them to get there and stay one
year. Conceding that they will get
the $50,000,000, this would Jeave
$20,000,000 profit for a year's work,
hardship and exposure for 40,000
men, which, if it were divided equal
ly, would amount to $500 apiece.
Now take tLe other proposition of
20,000 people and $10,000,000.
The cost of gettiDg 20,000 people in
with their provisions would be $15,
000,000, resulting in a dead loss of
$5,000,000.
The worst feature of these calcu
lations is that they are true. The
hope of sudden wealth, the faith of
each that he will be the lucky one,
lures thousands to their undoing.
Such miuing rushes are simply gam
bling, and, like most gambling games,
the outsiders the players lose.
The dealers, the transportation com
panies, etc., have a sure thing, and
win.
We only hear of the fellows who
come home with a stake, and the
poor devils who survive the hard
ships of the trip and come home, as
they did from Fraser river, with a
deep-seated prejudice against clams
as a steady diet, have not much to
say, and have not much said about
them.
Whatever may be said in defense
of that peculiar southern pastime
known as lynching, there is a line be
yond which even its most rabid ad
vocates should not go. The dis
patches yesterday announced the
hanging of Sph Bnnkley by a mob
"on suspicion." No evidence could
be found connecting him with the
crime, but as he bad a bad reputa
tion, the crowd just hanged him on
general principles. We are glad
this practice is not in vogue in Ore
gon, or some of its papers ex
changes of course would have to
enlarge to contain all the obituaiy
notices.
The Carnegie and Bethlehem com
panies refuse to furnish armor for
the United States warships at the
price fixed by congress, namely $300
per ton. .The reason they give is
that the price was tco low. This, if
true, would be sufficient excuse, that
is if the price was too low to allow a
legitimate profit, but this js not the
case. The price is too low to suit
them, because they have- been for
years charging the government more
than double wb't their products were
worth. It is known that these corn-
parties have been gladly selling thous
ands of tons of armor to Russia for
$240 per ton, and making money.
The government needing the armor
should set a price on the works and
confiscate .them for its own use. This
is its undisputed right, and the cor
rect remedy.
The Fossil Journal, after some
very flattering comments on an edit
orial in The Chronicle concerning
the wheat crop, expresses the opinion
that we have over-estimated Sher
man "county's crop by 500,000 bush
els fin3 underestimated Gilliam's
yield by about as much We accept
just half of Bro. Stewart s amendment
as a fair compromise, and gladly note
that Gilliam will have 1,500,000
bushels, but we cannot cut anything
off the Sherman estimate. . .
The editor of the Dufur Dispatch
needs a larger field. He thinks there
is no better field than The Dalles for
a live eight-page daily, containing
the Associated Press dispatches. All
we have to say, Brother Turner, is
that the field is open and the insig
nificant local newspapers will pat 3 ou
on the back to the best of their poor
ability if you will get in and furnish
us that kind of a newspaper. By the
way, why not give the plan a trial in
Dufur.

What use is there in eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, tor it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy ; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a.
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
has all the virtues of Castor Oil and is
