Tfcs Dalles Daily Ctonicle. SUBSCRIPTION PRICK. One week $ 15 One month 50 One year 6 00 SATURDAY - - - MARCH 18.1899 THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY. It has taken a stupendous amount of red tape and circumlocution, but ."the proofs are before the country at last. We know now beyond perad--venture that rascally meat contractors poisoned the men who went with the flag. The country has official proof that the refuse of tbe great packing houses of Chicago was crammed into tins and sold to tbe United States of America as sustenance for t men who had given tbe supreme test of patriot ism. When tbe vile scraps were canned, it was known tbey would, be fed to men on tbe march, on guard at tbe clanger line, and in tbe trenches at the firing line. The rascals who sold tbe repulsive refuse were guilty of murder and treason. If justice were done, tbey would be shot, and their ill gotten millions confiscated to pay pensions to the dependent relatives of their victims. A striking illustration of the busi ness value of political stability, of moderation In taxation .and of a general soundness of public opinion in relation to property, is afforded by the recent business history of the state of New Jersey. Capital is pouring into that state in floods not so much for local investment as for organization under state laws for operations all over the United States. JJew Jersey is becoming a great headquarters for large capital, and the state draws enormous advantages from it, through taxation and other wise. Tbe corporation laws of the state are not more liberal than those of New York, Connecticut or Massa chusetts; but the political atmosphere is better. The Jeisey legislature is not, like the New York legislature, a mere cinch mill, and there is no dispoaitien constantly to change the Jaws. The reasons for capital com ing to New Jersey to organize are the permanency of tbe corporation laws; the upright administration of these laws by the various depart ments; the character of the executive government and the beads ot tbe departmeut of state; tbe high char acter of the Judiciary of New Jersey, of the developed law of the state and of the bar of New Jersey. Here is an example it would be worth while for Oregon to follow. In the de velopment of Pacific ocean com merce now in its infancy, some one of the Pacific states will become the center of capital and of the forces . which relate to capita!. California, with her sandlot constitution, is bad ly handicapped ; Washington, through her experiment with populism and her trick of violent political action, stands discredited. Oregon, if she will, is in a position to command tbe confidence of tbe commercial and financial world. The prize is worth trying for. Orcgonian. Wood Wood Wood.

Scarlet jackets for street wear will likely be the fashion in America in the spring, fur at present they are the ragi in London. They are made short and half fitting and are buttoned down the left side with small, fiat brass buttons, arranged in groups of threes. The seams are strapped, and so short are the tailsi that they scarcely dip four inches below the waist line. The bad. is tight fitting and the front is in that straight, shield-like shape, with a slight dip in the middle, that is generally be coming to most figures. These natty little coats are worn either with checked, plain or plaid skirts, and if they are assumed with the proper amount of chic and nattiness they are undeniably effective. Even in darker colors the plain cloth jackets with checked or plaid skirts are extremely fashionable, and. Fen wick has laid in a stock of monstrous plaids in a soft, hairy, woolen material that hangs beautifully and is very light and warm. These plaids are made up of different shades of one color. For instance, there are huge blocks in cross ing lines of heliotrope that shade from almost invisible lavender through to blacky-purple. Tones of green also, from the raint eau de Nile to the black est bottle green, are also effectively combined, while a good deal too start ling, but undoubtedly effective, is th plaid composed entirely of shades of red cross-barred with black. Fenwick predicts that these huge plaids will be all the rage throughout the winter an J spring.
