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

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.

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.

IMPORT DUTY ON WOOL.
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.

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.

An Enoch Ardea.
Captain Peter Bayne, who was ship
wrecKea on li e schooner Ino, of San
Franusco, near Point Barrow, Arctic
ocean, in 1887, where be remained two
years before be was relieved, has teturned
to Port Townsend and found his wife
married to William J. 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.
Mrs. Bayne is a daughter of Rev. It. F.
Yandeventer, formerely of Tulare Cul.,
later a MelLodist minister of Seattle and
now of Winnemucca, Nev. During the
time BajDe was near Point Barrow ho
whaled from shore and captured twelve
whales, a large number of walrus aud
seals and plenty of ivory, segregating a
Ll
there comparatively wealthy. He sued
out a warrant charging Forbes with adul
tery and conspiracy. Forbes escaped.
The woman endeavored to shield Forbes
by threatening to swear her second hus
band clear of the charges preferred by
the first. Bayne found his wife secreted
there and persuaded her to surrender the
children. She has been muiried six
weeks.
Bayne sud bis wife wero highly re
spected in Whatcom, where they had a
comfortable home, and the Yandeventer
family are weti known all over the coast.
The prominence ot the parties creates a
sensation on the Sound. Mrs. Forbes
(Mrs. Bayne) said she was led by Forbes
to believe that Bayne hod deserted her or
else sue would have written to bim. She
is a beautiful woman, intelligent, and un
til her husband's departure was religious
ly deyoted to him. Bayne will take the
children to Nevada and support his former
wife the remainder of her life. Forbes
bad induced the woman to prove up on
Bayne's property as an abandoned wife.
and nearly secured the title to tne prop
erty wnen xsayne unexpectedly teturned.
The property is now valued at $10,000.
