long wiebed for Bucb a school.
Just to prove that they were fiery
steeds, the team of white horses - which

H. L. Vorse, manager of the Oregon
Telephone Company, returned last night
from a business trip in Colorado. Mr.
Vorse says that, they experienced - a
terrible winter in that state, and that
the railroads' are just beginning to re
cover from the blockade. One thing
that greatly surprised him on his trip
was the fact that the people in that
state seem to be more thoroughly in
formed concerning the mining interests
of our state than are we ourselves, and
going away from home he learned
ust bow famous Oregon is becoming in
that regard.

THE MAN WITH THE RAKE.
Read the Last Fart of This Article It
Means Ion.
Everyone who' has driven over the
roads leading - out of the city has been
gratified to notice that the man with
the hoe, or rather the shovel, has been at
work, about $400 of the general fund
having been spent in repairing them in
every direction. The Ninth street road
is perhaps uie only one wnicn It was
impossible at present to improve, it
being determined that it would .require
t least $3000 to accomplish anything at
all toward bettering its condition, and
there is really, no. necessity for passing
over it in driving in that direction, as
the road over Mill creek bridge answers
the purpose. .
Now that the city has done its part in
the . much-needed work, the county
should follow suit and do its part. A
good place to make their debut in the
work would be by at once placing a
force of men at work on the famous
Thompson Addition route, . the city's
jurisdiction only reaching as far. as tLe
east side of the Rowe place, at the top
of the brewery grade.
And now we have the extreme pleasure
of informing the citizens of The Dalles
that the marshal this morning began
the work of cleaning .the streets of our
city, removing rubbish, etc. A force of
men was put to work, and will continue
till the city looks as if civilized people
welt therein.
But . the question is, how long will
they remain so? If past experience is
any criterion, just until some store
keeper or other citizen unthoughtedly
umps a ton of loose papers, old rags,
old irons or old bottles right into the
principal thoroughfares, and only so
long. It would keep an immense force
of men continually busy until doomsday
to make the city look only respectable
at the rate we bave been going of late:
It is a disgrace to any town or even pig
pen to be so littered with rubbish of all
kinds as are our streets most of the time.
Whose fault is it? No one in particular.
Everyone in general. Let ns begin
anew and assist the marshal in "scrub
bing up." Let us take pride enough in
the city to keep our premises and sur
roundings neat.
Now as to where the "price" is to
ome from for the work which is now
being done. Perhaps when you realize
that the road tax is to meet this ne
cessary expense, you will not be com
pelled to "whitewash a load of coal" or
'give a Chinaman a music leBSon" just
when you see the collector approaching.
Any way you "only delay the agony of
paying over your little $4, for the city
at ciares it snail De paid, 11 not in one
way, in another.
But then, when you have read the
Chronicle and realize it is to assist vou
in wading out of the debris which eur
rounds you, certainly yon will hesitate
no longer, but come up like a little man
and help yourself out.
Let us not cause visitors to our city to
turn up their noses and say : "What
dirty streets one encounters in The
Dalles."
Mrs. Cowan Wins.
Last evening's Telegram has the fol
lowing concerning Mrs. Cowan's case,
which will be read with a great deal of
satisfaction by those who heartily tym
patbized with her, and many who felt
the opposition was merely running a
'.'bluff on her r "
"Mrs. Sarah E. Cowan, who a week
ago was brought here under a decree of
the United States district court to com
pel Ler to make conveyance of certain
real property sold, under execution by
the United States marshal to satisfy
judgment against ber hnsband held by
tbe Bank of California, was discharged
from custody this afternoon.
"The discharge was made upon her
own application aud not opposed by Mr
Zera Snow,. counsel for tbe bank. Bat
on tbe other hand, Mr. Snow waived the
right to demand that ehe pay the. cost
of the. proceedings, he paving them
himself." .
What Will We o Abont It?
Another plan for benefiting the city
and at the same time saving - hundreds
of dollars to the producers is suggested
by tbe following communication. It
should-not be passed oyer lightlv, but
considered, and plans at once laid to tbe
end intended by the writer. A cannery
would be just the thing for The Dalles
people to invest in. "Producer" says:
Editor Chronicle : We . believe the
time is fully ripe for a move to be made
in tbe direction of savi.ig a portion Of
the hundreds of tons of fruit-in and
abont The Dalles that annually goes to
waste. A conservative estimate would
place the . amount : either wasted up
on a glutted market or never gathered
for the same reason at somewhere from
$5,000 to $10,000. This sum dispersed
among the prod acers and wage earners
of this community would be of benefit to
all the people of this, municipality.
What we need is an institution that can
take the raw material and make ot it a
finished article that can wait until the
market is ready to teceive 'it, thereby
tending to enhance the price of green
fruit to a paying figure.
How this is to be brought about is the
question of the hour. ' As for us we be
lieve it needs the thrift, foresight, de
termination and experience of the man
of nnsire?s. '
Henci we would suggest that the
producers and business men of The
Dalles and vicinity come together and
formulate plans. If this can be done-jt
will be a step' toward prosperity. Can
we bear from the business man? What
say you. Pkodccke.
