The Dalles, July 24, 1897.
Editor Chronicle : i
Two years will tell whether The
Dalles will become a city with a popula
tion of ten or fifteen thousand people, or
take a slip backward and be. but an in
terior trading point, doing less business
than it is today." This was the remark
made by a prominent business man a
day or two since, and as he went on to
explain what he meant by his words, it
struck the writer that it would be well
if they could be heard by all who look to
the welfare and progress of oar city. It
cannot D6 denied that this is a crucial
point in the history of The Dalles. We
have come to the parting of the roads,
and a choice must be made wbicb way we
will turn ; to stand fetill is impossible.
The excellent editorial which appeared
in The Chronicle a few days ago de
scribes the situation exactly as it is, and
the same sentiments were well put forth
in a letter to the Times-Mountaineer,
appearing about the same time.
To any but a superficial observer the
bWilding of the railroad from Biggs to
Wasco has a direct bearing upon the
vUnme of business now done at this
ktint. Farmers cannot be expected to
haul their produce and freight ud and
by. Portland I down the wearisome grades loading to
'the Deschutes river, when with the ad
vent of the railroad a few miles hauling
will do the work. And, in the matter
-i . , . . ...
" uiviuena would he declared un
til the time for proving claims had ex
pired, on Sept 5th, but the comptroller
of the currency has already declared a
dividend and other large dividends will
be made in the near future, provided
the debtors of the bank are prompt in
paying. If the persons owing the bank
will make a special effort to pay this
season, a very large percentage will be
paid to creditors this year. "

of supplies, The Dalles has growing com
petitors in territory she has heretofore
claimed exclusively as her own. But
the worBt menace comes, from the. pro
jected extension of the Wasco railroad to
the Antelope country. This will follow,
as a matter of course, and when it does,
with the erection of wool warehouses at
the end of the line, The Dalles may see
a considerable diminution in the volume
of its. wool receipts, and a consequent de
crease in the amount of merchandise
and supplies sold. It is not wise to shut
one's eyes to a situation however un
pleasant it may be, and it seems but the
part of wisdom that efforts should be
made and plans considered for the pre
vention, if possible, of the conditions
Ely to result from previous inaction.
Tie writer does not mean to nay that
ThelDalles cannot continue in the road
rosperity that it has heretofore trav-
Far from him is any such intention ;
buft he does wish to call attention to
whit has been a serious defect in our
mercial history. The Dalles has
a one-sided development. We have
paid exclusive attention to selling goods
to people from the interior, and have
entirely overlooked the . fact that there
are other opportunities at our feet which
could be improved without damage in
any other regard, and which would as
sure continued prosperity . and increase
the city's growth till but a few years
would pass before we would be twice as
many as that which now we number.
The city with the pay-rolls is the
place prosperity come to first and lingers
than is any city in the state tor the es
tablishment of industries which will
give employment to large numbers of
men and bring money from abroad to
the hands of energetic citizens. Oregon
City is looked upon as the manufactur
ing city, but The Dalles has every ad
vantage which Oregon City possesses
and many more. Oregon City has a
woolen mill ; The Dalles has none. Yet
The Dalles is, as is often reiterated, the
largest wool-shipping point in the
United States. Salem has a woolen
mill ; nearly a hundred men at work.
The Dalles sends wool to Salem and buys
its blankets. The little town of Dallas
has a woolen mill, a tannery and a box
factory. The Dalles has a flour mill and
a couple of box factories.' Pendleton
has a woolen mill and a scouring mill,
both of which were offered as and refused.
I will not draw the painful contrast
futtber, only to add that this city has a
destiny which, if we will only make the
effort, will be a grand one. Let it be
known that we want industries to come
here and will help liberally to establish
them. Then we can stand to lose a por
tion of our trading country and still
progress and prosper. Let us not stand
around and sav that "what this towu
needs is a half a dozen firet-claas funer
als," but let the Commercial Club per
form one of the chief objects for which
it was formed and see that another vear
does not pass without there being es tab
lished some industry with a pay-roll.
The future promises ns grand things
if we will only do our part. ' CD.

Last night about 10 o'clock Night
watchman Wiley was telephoned to, to
arrest a man who bad been forcing his
attentions on a woman going home from
the Salvation Army meeting. Wiley
responding found hia man on Third
street in front of Gibons & Marden'e of
fice. When he undertook to arrest him,
the man, who proved to be H. A. Mil
ler, engineer on the steam shovel for the
O. E. & N., resisted and commenced to
fight the, officer, whom he struck over
the eye, making an ngly gash. Wiley
finding he was being overpowered,
pulled bis pistol and fired
. It is presumed that Miller seeing the
gun turned to run as the buliet struck
him in the upper part of the calf of the
leg, coming out somewhat lower down.
This ended the fight, and Dr. Doane be
ing called soon djscovered that both
bones were badly shattered. Miller was
taken care of and this morning sent to
the hospital at Portland. The wound Is
a very bad one and may result in ampu
tation It is said that Miller was intoxi
cated. He is a married man.
The sheriff's office was filled this morn
ing with Indians, the cause being the
robbing and beating of three of their
number by three white men. The affair
occurred about 9 o'clock last - night, and
as near as we can gather the particulars
from the Indians was as follows :
An old Indian named Shorty was com
ing into town, and when near the old
slaughter house east of town be met
three men. One of them caught his
horse's bridle while the others proceeded
to pull him off his horse. He resisted
when one or them struck him in the face
with a club, the same being a dead
branch of a pine tree about two inches
through and about four feet long. Be
ing knocked to the ground the party
went through his pockets, and finding
nothing let him go. Soon after two oth
er Indians, (jecrge tfeo, who owns a
farm near Celilo, and Warm Springs
Loui, came by, when the men attacked
them. Peo was struck in the face with
the club and knocked senseless, while
Loui was also knocked from his horse
The men then proceeded to go through
their pockets, getting from Peo $5, and
from Loui $2.50. Peo has a bad cut just
above the eyes three inches in length
and down to the bone, and another at
the corner of the right eye. The eye
is" bloodshot and badly injured. Loui
put up his arm to protect' his face and
received a badly bruised arm and hand,
besides several small cuts in the face.
They reported the matter to Sheriff
Driver this morning, describing the men,
and it was not long before the sheriff
had the offenders in jail. They are E.
Simmons, Brown. and, Robert Wilson,
all of whom are identified by the Indians
as being the persons who robbed them.
The Indians here are peaceable, in
dustrious and law abiding, and that they
should be attacked upon the public high
way and robbed by a gang of toughs is
the very worst kind of an outrage. It is
really a pity the affair did not happen
in Nevada or Arizona, where the Indians
do not appeal in such cases to the law.
Down in Nevada the only request the
Piutes would make to the authorities
would be to let them know when they
were turned loose. As it is, if the of
fense 'is proven against them, they
should be given the full benefit of the
law. .
