C2-J SATURDAY ...JANUARY 18,11890 THE UNION PACIFIC. For over twenty years The Dalles has suffered under the domination of a railroad corporation whose pecuniary in terests were centered in Portland, and which practiced every kind of extor tion in its traffic with the interior for the benefit of the terminal port. Every effort at opposition on the Columbia wax rendered futile by this wealthy corporation controlling the only avail able portages around the obstructions at the Cascades and between this city and Celilo. The directers appeared to be deaf to every petition for redress, and (he settlers in Eastern Oregon lost all hopes of relief from (hat source. The O. R. it N. Co. was a local road, and appeared to take no interest in the development of the country. When the canal at the Cas cades was first commenced, producers breathed freer, and anxiously looked forward to the time when they could transport the rich and varied prodnc- tions of this prolific soil to seaboard without acceding to the ex bit ant demands of the railroad. The appro- pnations came slowly from congress, and the money was frittered away in a useless manner. This discouraged the people, and within the last few years they have given up hopes of any relief during the nt-xt generation from this direction. Eastern Washington, for mony years under the same grinding- tot build an insurmountable wall monopoly as Eastern Oregon, with the ar0und a town and expect it to pros construction of the Northern Pacific pen The elements of wealth may be to the sound, had fair transportation numerous; but these must be biought rates to tide water, and for the reason to light "and utilized or else they are that the interests of the company and people were mutual. Every bushel of be something to support the popula wheat grown increased the trade of or elhe they will net come to the railroad, and it desired all the va- rnake permanent homes. In view of cant lands occupied and cultivated. Within the past few weeks the O. R. &. N. Co. has changed from being a local to a transcontinental road, and there is hope that the Union Pacific, which now controls the line from Omaha, Neb., to Portland, Oregon, will see the advantage of being im partial in its dealings with all portions of the country through which it passes. It must realize that an exorbitant freight rate from Wasco county will discourage farming and drive pro ducers elsewhere. The Northern Pa cific -has pursued a generous policy v towards its dependent communities and has been greatly benefitted there by.,; ' From a company which was almost bankrupt a few years ago, it is now the leading railroad in the conn- try, pushing its branches in every direction, and declaring dividends on its stock. Its success has aroused the jealousies of other companies, and if they pattern the same liberal spirit the people will accord them the same good will asi-they do the Northern Pacific. If the Union Pacifio should adopt the plans mentioned, it would be a succesful competitor of the N. P., for it passes through a region much richer in natural resources, and capable of great development. The large land grants through the north west, which, on account of uncertain title, have discouraged settlement, will soon have a definite status. Thesa will support double the present population and each producer would be a feeder ot the transcontinental line. Ihe cities along the line of the road are increasing constantly in population, and in consequence the business of the road multiplying. Briefly stated, if the Union Pacific pursues a liberal policy towards the Inland Empire it will be the gainer, and every depend ent community will be benefited. If not, branch roads will be built to other points, and the produce which should seek shipping at the mouth of the Columbia will be transported to Puget sound. With the foresight usually manifested by this company, all indications are that the Union Pa cific will show co favoritism, towards terminal points, but Vill attempt to build up all portions of Oregon, acd in this it will merit the good will and thanks of the producers of Eastern Oregon. The Portland Mercury says: '-The Dalles Times-Mountaineer argues that because a country is populous it does not follow that it amounts to any thing as a wealth producer." After quoting our editorial paragraph com paring the two Dakotas with Wash ington it continues. "It has been generally supposed that great popula tions created wealth. The public will be surprised to learn that Washington's lack of population haj made her rich, and the Dakotas surplus of people have brought these states to the verge f bankruptcy." We did not say, nor can the inference be drawn from our editorial paragraph, that "lank of popnIati6a" ujtks--a . country rich or a surplus of population make a region, pcor.. The right kind of population is al trays desirable; the wrong kind always unprofitable. 11 uregon ano vvasuington could re ceiva 40,000 more people during the next two years,and these of the thnfy, iadustrious sort, it would increase the veaitn oi tne two states very materially. Any person, how ever poor, who is honest and eaergetic, and can make a living and a little surplus by bis own efforts, L very welcome; but he who attempts to reap a rich harvest from the indus try of others a human parasite and not enter any department of labor, is not welcome. We have too many I of such now in the northwest. But we intend this as no reflection upon the i ovulation of either North or South Dakota. The Portugese had a little excite ment recently because Gomez, the prime minister, had acceded to the demands of Great Britain. This ef- fervescence of the Latin races may be xoected on any unusual occurrence. I but it accomplishes nothing. TLe bull-dog tenacity of the English peo ple is not easily aroused; but when once called into action they never re treat They are as immovable es the rock of Gibraltar, which bristles with their cannon. The pacific policy of Mr. Gladstone gave the world the idea that the great empire of the English speaking race had retrograded to a third-class power; but the fact is that she is as stronz to-day as when she' saved Europe from the devasta- tions of the great Napoleon; or when, at the command of Beaconsfield, the armies f f the Czar, tha conquerors of the north, baited at the gates of Con stantinople, and were thus thwarted by a single movement of the ambition of over a century. If the emergency should demand, the English people and the loloniea can place in the field as-lanpe an army as any nation in the world, and ihe discipline, aud stub boruness oFV the race make them as s;ood soldiers as can be found. We have . no sympathy with '.he form of goveroiDgnt and the class distinction of the nobility; but we must admit that the fighting qualities of the sol diery, f"'u Agincourt to Waterloo, and the campaigns in.Iudia, Ashantee " an ,n kjjypt. are equal to any in the history of the world ; OUR ADVANTAGES, i The, factors of development of a city are various and these teed to be brought into active operation before anv progress is discernible. You can tne game as worthless. There must these facts it is highly important that every community which expects to prosper should inaugurate industries which will furnish labor to men, and thus be, not only the means of sup port to the population, but factors of development. It is possible that a city advantageously situated for com merce may sapport a large number of people by the demands nf shipping. This is vetfy rarely a fact, and usually an important point uses its facilities as a basis.rfor productive industries, and these, .in connection with the trade, soon paves the way to wealth and prosperity. As . we have frequently slated n these columns, there is no town on the Columbia river': with better natural resources than The Dalles. As a commercial pointi it has the Columbia river as natural route of transporta tion, and if this great natural highway were released from the domination of f ailroads this city should be the nat ural center of trade for a large raid i us of country. Being at the head of navigation, it would be the highest point reached by river craft without making a cosily portage. This could have been made available years ago with the expenditure of a small amount of capital to build an opposi tion boat on the river. As a manu facturing point, there is every induce ment. Enough, water power goes to waste every year to run the mills of Lowell, Mass., and fuel would be quite inexpensive if steam was preferred as a motive power. The forests in the Cascades furnish an inexhaustible supply of the best timber, and the na- tura of lue climate is such that this timVer could be made ihto all useful articles without any artificial process of seaconing. Some of the most ele gant coaches ' manufactured at the O. R. & N. Cd's shops haver been mad from the natives trees'Of the for ests within a few milesof the city, and the work has been far more .lasting on account of the dryness of the climate than those made elsewhere. With this- demonstrated fact, there can be no question that furniture and other factories in which wood is the constitu ent element would be successful if put into operation. But these facts, which are well known, are not suffi cient of themselves to build up a large city. These facilities must be used and then the good results will be forth coming. It is only necessary for our citizens to realize their advantages and profit by them to make The Dalles a city of double the population it has at present in the next two years. ; -But to accom plish this it must inaugurate enter prises to furnish a means of support . for its increasing population, and to develop its rich resources. The com ing spring is a propitious time, and with a liberal appropriation for locks and boat railway, and $150,000 for public, buildings, The Dalles will re ceive a great stimulant to growth. Bro. Douthitt, othe Ocheco Review, tT'eomplnining because Crook county sends to other communities $150,000 for breadstuff's, and urges the neces sity of kdeping that amount in circu lation in the county by -raising "wheat and mak-ino- flour.'

Protection says, keep the money at home and be patriotic; free trade, on the contrary, asserts that money is not wealth, and is no particular ad vantage to a community. Wealth is the same, whether it consists in silk dresses, handsome dwellings, hay- gtac8 or granaries. Brother, be consistent. You don't want money; you want wealth anything that the people desire.

Whenever tariff questions are under discussion, says the San Francisco Chronicle, it is natural for the repre sentatives of each industry to imagine that their particular industry is a pivot around which the whole protective system should revolve, or, to change the figure, that their industry is the foundation upon which the whole su prstructure of protection should be reared. This fact, which is often lost sight of, accounts for the vast differ ence in tariff suggestions which ema nate from different people, each of whom wants to see the tariff Adjusted so as to meet- his special needs or wants, and after that is done is per fectly willing to let the rest of it be adjusted as the party having it in charge may think best. This was illustrated recen'.ly by the appeal made to the ways and means committee by a carpet manufacturer of Philadelphia. He argued that wool-growers of the UniteJ States would not and could not produce the quantity of carpet wool used in that in dustry, because, while they received $1.50 for the fleece of a fine wool sheep, they wouli not receive 25 cents for that of a coarse wool sheep. The cor ollary of his proposition was that wool should be put on the free list because the carpet manufacturing industry would thereby be benefitted, although the wool growing industry of the United States as a whole would be ruined. William Whitman, of Boston, presi dent of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, seemed to have about as clear an idea of the situation as any one who appeared before the committee. He raid that under no circumstance would free wool enable American manufacturers to make an impression on foreign markets. He thought that free wool would stimu late production and give manufactur ers a cnance to displace foreign pro ducts here, but he also thought that the effect of free wool would be to di minish the price of ' wool, and conse quently to discourage the sheep raisers. John F. Plummer, of New Tork, said that the country is suffering under the popular prejudice that better clothes can tie, got abroad than here at the same price. He declared that there was no country where a man could get as good a suit of clothes for as little money as in the United States. It will be the duty of the ways and means committee and of congress, so far as may be possible, to protect all the industries and interests which have an immediate connection with wool. In the nature of things some of these will not be satisfied, but if the greatest good to the greatest mumber is secured, no one will have any right to complain. Hon. Wm. D. Kelley, commonly known as the "Father of the House,' died at his home in Pennsylvania Wednesday. He has been a member of congress since 1860, and during that time has made an enviable rep utation as speaker and debater. Dur ing this long congressional career he has been a consistent Repblican and a strong advocate of protection. Wm, Darrah Kelley was born in Philadel phia in 1814, and was the grandson of revolutionary soldier. He com menced life as a jeweler, began the study of law at the. age of 25 years. and was admitted to the bar two years later. From 1846 to 1856 he was judge of the court of common pleas in his native state, ha vine seived one year as attorney-general of . Penn sylvania previously. His place wilt be greatly missed- in coneress,' as the members could always rely on the integrity of his position and the soundness of his views on all questions. A man who carved out his own success and of the strictest integrity in public and private life, he will go to his grave lamented by all political ally or opponent. Hon. Binger Hermann says he does not expect to get an appropriation this congress for the irrigation of arid lands. He says the east is so bitterly opposed to any expenditure of the public money that it is very likely the bill will be defeated. The New England and Middle states have all the development of their natural resources desired, and they are de termined to oppose any effort for gov ernment aid to other portions of the country. The western senators and congressmen are almost a unit in favor of a liberal River' and Harbor bill and other appropriations which will benefit their constituencies; but they always find arrayed against them. a solid phalanx from the fitea on the Atlantic seaboard. Every town on the Sound is at tempting to make itself the great sea port of the northwest. Tacotna Se attle, Port Townsend and Aberdeen are all looking forward -to the time hen each will be the metropolis of the northwest. There can be no doubt that Puget sound has grand fa cilities for seaports and for anchorage, and eyentually will command consid erable trade; but one point, on ac count of extra inducements, . will eclipse the others, and it is difficult to determine which this will be. Per haps Seattle, with her indomitable en terprise and facilities for trade, may win the race. Tacoma and Port Townsend have great ' inducements, and the future will only determine hich will lead the others in the race after metropolitan honors. The problem of the negro vote in the south has resolved itself into the simple equation that the whites in that region have expressed their deter mination that they will not be ruled by blacks i. e. that the colored popu lation cannot vote. Some writers compare the aituation to Chinaman exercising the elective franchise; bat the comparison differs in many of its details. Many of our colored people have been born here, and have no other country. They are not subjects of any empire, and follow the precepts of no un-Anglo Saxon religion. The only differifnce is in the color of the skin, and in some instances this differ ence can hardly be determined. There is no reason by they should not have their political rights, and the govern ment should protect them in their exercise. We are reliably informed that mat ters are crystalized ftr a formation of a joint stock company fojrbuilding a railroad to the interior of Grant county, and also one to Goldendale. These will be the best advertisements The Dalles can receive, and will in sure her growth and prosperity. Money spent in this way will do more to place this city where she properly belongs than any other investment The northwest acknowledge the nat ural resources, and as soon as our citi zens make an effort to develop them outside capital will pour into this place in unlimited quantities. The greatest enemy The Dalles has ever had has been her own citizens, who apparently haye been for a number of years pact in a deathly stupor. Let us arouse ourselves to action, and there will be no fears for the future. We have been informed that Yak ima has raised the subsidy of $100,000 to build a railroad from that city to Vancouver, Wash. We do not know the route adopted, but.believe by offer ing a bonus our citizens could induce the directors to build through "Klicki tat county to The Dalles, and this would give us an outlet by the North ern Pacific and would create a com petitor to the O. R. fc N. Co. If some of our capitalists will start the project of a subscription list, and com municate with those in the lead of the new railroad, we believe it would tend greatly to enhance the value of all property, and to build up the resources of the citv. It may be expected that congress will do some earnest and honest woik for ihe people's interest this winter. The holidays are past, and it is time that matters of importance should re ceive consideration. The people of Eastern Oregon expect liberal appro priations for the locks at the Cascades and for- beginning the boat railway above this city, and we feel assured they will not be disappointed, for Senators Dolph and Mitchell and Congressman Hermann have never neglected an opportunity to work for the interests of Oregon. This month will very likely end the winter season in this city and vicinity, and everything so far has been very encouraging for crops and business. Our capitalists should commence at once the inauguration of industries,and that means a year of unusual prosper ity. If we will take advantage of the opportunities for growth and develop ment 1890 will be the most prosper ous year ever enjoyed by our citizens. Do we desire this; if so, we must ex ercise enterprise. If not, any move ment in the direction of advancement is a waste of energy and effort. The dispatches say that the river and harbor bill will not be passed un til the close of the fiscal year. This is to be regretted very much, as very many of the public works will haye to suspend until an appropriation is made. Economy would dictate that the improvements commenced should be finished as soon as possible, and it will be a useless waste of the public money to allow the machinery to re main idle for several months. The treasury is full, and we cannot under stand the reason for this parsimoni- ousness. EDITORIAL NOTES. The la grippe is playing sad havoc in New York, and. others are attacked besides the "four hundred." The me tropolis inust expect to overshadow all other cities in modern innovations not excepting Russian influenza or Parisian la grippe. George William Curtis is authority for the statement that. Grbver Cleve land is the most popular man in the country. Mr. Curtis is generally con scientious, but Air. Cleveland was not sufficiently popular to be re-elected in 1888; and we believe will fall behind in 1892, if the party gives him the nomination. Congressman Wilson, of Washing ton, because of the disagreement of Senators Allen and Squire, is likely to are bis favorites in the appointment of Calkins as United States judge, and Winston marshal. Judge Calkins was formerly of Spokane Falls, but is now a rt-sidans of Tacoma, and Winston is a citizen of North Yakima. A Democratic paper in Memphis.

He was aged G7 years, and he will live as long as our citizens appreciate pure, patriotic liter ature. We have a little winter in Oregon occasionally, but nothing in compari son with the storms east Snow falls here, the thermometer creaps around zero, but there is no death-dealing cyclone or unwelcome blizzard. We can say to the people of the east, if you wish to enjoy a moderate climate, with regular seasons, come to the northwest. Port Townsend has the true spirit to grow and prosper. The city wanted a hotel, and at a meeting of the citi zens $40,000 was subscribed in one evening, The Dalles has 5000 popu lation while Port Townsend has only 3000, and a subscription of $40,000 towards manufacturing enterprise would make this city a center of activ ity next spring; but can it be pro cured!

The Wonderful JU UHfnra ot a Burled freblatoric World In the John Jay IIKioii. Scicntitic American. The John Day region in Oregon was the scene of the P.incetown University expedition last summer, and as a result a grand collection of fossils was obtained. From tbd Blue mountains west of the Cascades the country is a great volcanic plateau, made up of lava sheets piled one upon the another and indicating ancient volcanic outbursts upon a stupendous scale, in comparison with which such events at iEtua and Vesuvius are the merest pigmies. Through this mass of lava the streams, aided by the atmosphere, have cot deep valleys, some or them broad and open, others deep, narrow gloomy canyons. This "ouoiry is very dry, but the soil isezcellent, aud when irrigated produces well, the vegetables and fruit being of particularly fine quality. Great acres that are arid sage brush deserts will one day be turned into fertile farms by means of artesian well, and the mild climate will insure succees. Ai present the great industry is wool raising. The enormous bands of 'sheep utterly destroy the grass of the country over which they range, till it looks as if a plague ot locusts had visited it. The scientific attraction in the John Day region is the vast assemblage of fos sil animals which are entombed in the rocks there. Tbeentire district was iu a former geological age the bed of a great fresh water lake, into which the streams brought masses of sand and mud, and volcanoes showered cinders and ashes. Animals which were swept into the lake in times of flood became covered with salt, and as the latter was in the course of ages consolidated into rock, the hones of the victims were gradually petrified and thus indefinitely preserved. Now the rock is slowly disintegrated bv the action of the rain, snow and frost, and the bones exposed to view or washed out entirelv. For the most part, however, the speci mens must be cut out witn pick, nam mer and chisel, a very laborious process, as the rock is extremely haid and the blazing summer son makes the face of a white cum anything but an ideally com' lortabie place. Could we produce a view of that ancient Oregon when the John Day lake existed -we should find ourselves in a very strange animal world; little three toed horses, no larger .than donkeys, rhinoceros, camels, peccaries a great assemblage of large and fierce cat-like, dog-like, hyena like animals not to mention hosts of little rabbit and squirrel like creatures. The animals of this time were all rather small, the largest being the cntelodon, a beast. not unlike the hippopotamus in size and general appearance. As the list shows, this assemblage has a very Oriental char acter. - The climate was perhaps rather milder than at present and the forests, of which the leaf beds on Bridge creek gave ample illustration, were like those now found in i be warmer parts of the United States. This wonderful museum of a buried world has been sealed up by the subsequent lava floods, and is accessible on the sides of the canyons and valleys, wnere the streams have cut down through the overlying volcanic masses.

Forbes. Forbes was employed by Bayne to attend the ranch near VVbatcom. lie Dually induced Mrs. Bayne to secure a "divorce on the ground of wilJtul desertion and falure to provide, notwithstanding the fact that she hud ieceived provisions constantly irom iiuyne s employers. Heroes cor roborated her statements and the divorce was granted. They were married in Dungeness, Wash., last October. The woman had two children by Bayne, a girl ana a ooy ageo v and I years.
