Unicn street, sidewalks, etc., bas been
devoted to coasting by order of the city
: council. Those oi our citizens, ladies or
gentlemen, who use the sidewalks for the
purpose of going to or from their residences
do so at their peril, ibis is as it should
be. W ben the spring time comes we shall
advocate, that the sidewalks be given up tc

the streets, with its mud-boles, rocks and
ruts.

An exchange says that a canvas-back

The newspaper man who penned the fol
lowing knew what he was talking about:
"Ihe prosperity ot a town is not graded by
the wealth of its inhabitants, but the uni
formity with which they pull together when
any important undertaking is to be accom
plished. - A man with a thousand dollars at
his command and a love for bis town in his
heart, can do more for the building np and
improvement of it than the millionaire who
locks op bis capital and snaps his fingers at
home progress.
Heppner Gazette: While the G. A. K.
folks, their families and Iriends to the num
ber of 200 were enjoying themselves in the
banqueting hall at Hard man last Saturday
evening, the floor gave way, ana lor a
moment threatened to precipitate the crowd
town into the drug store below. However,
an examination proved tnat the sinking of
the floor was caused by the joist turning,
and the festivities wnt on, although quite
a number sought the outside as a sale place.
It was fortunate, .indeed, that the floor did
not give way entirely, as the hot stoves in
the hall and store below would have ignited
the structure, changing this occasion of en
joyment to one of horror.

that his daughter owns the tree and that it
now has over thres dozen fine oranges upon
it. 1 be tree is tour years old and is very
thrifty. He claims that oranges can be
raised successfully in Oregon."
Heppner Gazette: Ed. A. Whittier writes
us from JUalbeur that his section bas an
ayerage of about six inches of snow, but no
cold weather yet. There is more moisture
in the ground at present than at any tune
within the past two years, and sbee p and
cattlemen expect an abundance of trass
next season. Sheep are in good condition,
and there is not a scabby sheep in Malheur
county. Cattle are in poor condition for

Editor Timrs-Mocxtaikrbr:
Since coming to New England last fall I
have been impressed with the vast differ
ence whieb one will find both in the people
and in the country. tWhile we have the
Chinaman aud tramp in the west, there is
the Italian here that is equal to any nui
sance which tho west can possibly afford.
The Italian family work the entire force;
the father and husband will have a two
wheeled cart going about the street yelling
the unintelligible words, "Kali par a rak,"
which, being interperted, means "Cash paid
for rags. One can find these rag venders in
all streets of the city. The rag vender's
wife will be sitting on some street corner
trying to cell a two cent paper and the
children will have some toy or box of candy
urging the passer-by to invest. This class
of people ot which there are thousands here
never aspire to any thing higher and are
contented to live in the worst kind of dirty
hovels. Ic is fe to say that one-half of
the arrests in New Haven are from this
class of Italians. One can scarcely realize
the difference in the country uutil it has
been placed under their observation, and all
that seems to be lacking is to let these peo
ple kuow what a country lies out west aud
they would soon be traveling in that direc
tion. I wish I could impress on the minda
of Tho Dalles people what an immense for
tune is withiu their grasp. It is the outlet
to all Eastern Oregon, and at her door is
enough water power to employ millions of
capital, there is not a manufacturing city
in JNew England that has one-half the ad
vantages ot The Dalies, and see what wealth
is stored in soma of these small' towns.
The Dalles people must awake to their in
terests and realize what is theirs if they will
oiily embrace the opportunity. It should
have a bridge across the Columbia; it should
have street cars; it should have factories;
and why not have them? It is my special
delight to watch the commercial and manu
facturing interest while here in the east,
and am thoroughly convinced that eastern
capital is seeking places in the west for in
vestment, and the question is why can't
The Dalles have her share? I trust the
coining summer will note the change which
ine Dalles has long needed.

Her life was one of parity, charity,

Thrift" and enterprise is manifested all
around us in railroad, manufacturing and
mining enterprises. Many of the towns
and cities of the Willamette and Eastern
Oregon are incorporating for the purpose of
building themselves roads to the sea, and to
the main lines of railroads, which will have
a sere effect to send these little towns ahead
toward the dimensions of cities in a very
short while. If it did not look like a home
growl 1 should s? y that we are behind in
the enterprise that ia manifested elsewhere.
If public opinion and enterprise was prop
erly excited at The Dalles it would have a
tendency to direct capital toward this
point, and to build roads to the interior
from here; and manufactories at this point,
We ask also to have the question of the
forfeiture of the railroad land agitated, and
the wish and expectation of the people laid
before congress in this, that they have the
right to 'obtain by purchase or otherwise,
not to exceed 320 acres upon which they
have put valuable improvement. Aud a
united interest and effort in an open river
We hope all the papers printed along the
river will vie with each other in publishing
all that is said in congress and out, too, and
speeches made for and against an open river.
For if ever there was a time when success in
these matters was promising, it is now.
nfor mation in regard to our wants should
be sent to our members of congress from
societies, boards of trade, and all others
who feel an interest in building np cur
homes, our cities and our towns, - United
action in all mutual interesrs is what we
need to insure success, and almost all cur
interests are mutual if properly examined.
We already see hopetul signs in the ennrt
to unite the labor reform societies in order
to work together for the better protection
of the interests of the laboring classes, and
we hope aud ask merchants, mechanics,
stockmen, farmers and business men
stand in with each other against monopolies,
trusts and all other combinations that bear
heavily upon all. but heaviest upon the
producer.
X but voice the wish ot ari your readers,
Mr. Editor,. when I ask you to publish a
full account of the struggle that is now
taking place between illegal corporation and
the laws that are being enacted for their
suppression, especially the proceedings in
the struggle in the state ot Missouri, where
twenty-eight corporations have had their
charters revoked, a mnior,ty of whom are
live, business corporations, and others will
also be brought to trial unless tbey file
their affidavit that they are doing a
business. -
