DOLPH TRIU MPIIANT.
The action of the caucus held in Sa
- Jem last night will be acceptable to
the party in Oregon, and will be par
ticularly in harmony witbjthe senti-
meats of Republicans in this part of the
state for whom Senator Dolph haa done
. . so much. ' Every Republican member
: of the legislature was represented, and
tbia will make the result binding on
them in joint convention. It is
very gratifying that notwithstanding
the bitter fight that haa been made
against Senator Dolph he developed
sufficient strength to poll 40 votes on
' the first ballot, and next Tuesday he
will be elected by a good majority.
His opponents, Hons 0. W. Fulton
and T. EL Tongue, are loyal Republi-.-
cms, and will gracefully abide by the
decision.
Those Republican papers that have
made such a bitter fight against the
senator and prophesied his defeat must
feel humiliated at their utter discom
fiture in this preliminary test of
strength, and it proves conclusively
: that the members of the legislature
paid more attention to the voice of
the people last June when the issue
was made against Mr. Dolph at the
polls than the free silver craze that
has been heralded over the state by
them since. If attention had been
paid to these utterances the votes at
the caucus would have been r a versed,
and the senior senator from Oregon
would have vacated his position for a
new man.
To the friends of an open river in
Washington and Oregon the re-election
of Mr. Dolph will mean that the
work already begun will be pushed to
a speedy completion, and tbac the
great artery of commerce, the Colum
bia river, will soon be free of obstruc
tions to navigation. The work at the
Cascades will have an able champion in'
the upper branch of the national leg
islature, and the Bhip railway at this
point will have an ardent supporter in
Mr. Dolph. During the twelve years
that he has represented Ore
. gon in Washington no part of the
atate has been more highly favored
than Eastern Oregon, and settlers
along the line of the Northern Pacific
and wagon road land grants feel very
kindly towards him. No other man
could have been elevated to the posi
tion who would have been more ac
ceptable to Eastern Oregon, and no
ene who has done as much for the set
tler and producer. . .
' '' Oregon Republicans are not in favor
r of free silver, however the Democrats
. and Populists of the state may lean in
that direction. The party has always
. been in favor of sound, honest money,
and this portion of the northwest feels
a deeper interest in protection to
American industries, opening up our
waterways and in the construction of
the Nicaragua canal than in the un
liminited coinage of the white metal.
This crazein favor of free silver may
be in harmony with these portions of
: the northwest that are wholly depend
ent upon the product of their mines
for growth ,and prosperity; but the
fertility of our soil and the develop,
ment of natural resources are the means
that will impel advancement in this
state. Senator Dolph has shown him
self in harmony with these interests,
and good and effective work may be
expected of him in the future.
Oregon has been ably , represented
in the senate by Mr. Dolph, and in
the great battle to be fought when Re
the executive branch, which they will
publicans gain control of congress, and
do in 1896, in the front rank of the
friends of protection to American in
. dustries and honest money will stand
the senacor from this state, the peer
of any statesman in the nation.
WOOLEN FACTORIES.

equal to manufacturing industries
where a city or town is pioperly situ
ated for them. The Dalles has every
facility for manufactures, and there is
an opportunity to secure them. Of
course, the inauguration of any in
dustry will require a finaucial outlay,
and some sacrifice on the part of in
dividual citizens. But when fairly
started industries make towns inde
pendent, 'enhance the value of prop
erty and tends largely to develops
natural resources.
For many years this city has been
the great wool market of the north
west. This prestige has been secured
because of our ' proximity to the wool-
growing region and great advantages
in freight rates for shipment east
These make it apparent that a woolen
factory would be a payment invest
ment, if it could be made so anywhere
in the Inland Empire.
In cotinectioo with this there should
be a scouring plant, which would give
Hbeep raisers the opportunity of send
ing their wool east free from dirt, and
not pay 1 cents a pound on grease,
'which brines them no returns. Wb.il
it is a tact tnat tnere is less dirt in
the wool tributary to this market than
that Bold at other points in Eistem
Oregon, yet the waste will average 66
per cent. That it would be an ad
vantage to have this grease taken ou
here before the product is shipped east
is apparent to every one; for the price
of wool is rated on the clean staple.
and the producer is forced to pay for
securing, whether it is done at Pendle-
ton, iue uaues or xwston. it the
cleaning is done here the ' freight
charges on 66 per cent of grease is
saved, and this will add to the price
of the clip to the wool-growers.
The proposition made by Mr. Shaw,
published in another column we con
sider a very fair one, and if our citi
zens should accept it we believe the
woolen and scouring mill would at
tract other indaHries, and be the be
ginning of ao era of development that ,
has not been known in The Dalles
during its history. . For a long time
the location has received the attention
of capitalists, and if one enterprise
were started others would follow. We
are wall aware of the tightness of
money m ail departments of trade,
and that a thousand dollars could be
raised a easily a fit years ago as a
hundred can new. But such favorable
propositions are not made during flush
times, and if advantage is taken of
them during business depression great
benefits will be derived when the turn
of the tide ooraes and trade resumes
its former prosperous channels. The
present prospects are discoursing to
very many; but there is a well
founded hope that a bright future is in
store for this country, and especially
for The Dalles and vicinity when the
locks at the Cascades are completed
and freight charges will be at the min-inuai.
WHY PRICES ARE LOW.
The wheat crop of the Argentine
Republic for 1894 is estimated at
2,000.00!) tons, or about 666,000 000
bushels. Of this at least 499,500 000
are for exportation. This augurs un
favorably .as to the price of wheal
grown in the United States, says an
exchange.
If it be true that wheat growiu
does not now pay the United States
farmer, what are the most rationa
methods of restoring wheat culture to
its former profitable state? Plainly by
a reduction of the wheat crop, or by
an increase of the demand for wheat
or, better still, by both.
Reduction of . the wheat crop neces'
sitates the cultivation of the dimin
ished wheat area for some o"ther crop.
For the farmer cannot let his acres lie
idle. Beet crops would be profitable
if beet sugar refineries were numerous.
But by repealing the bounty on Araer
ican-made sugar the new tariff has
lessened the demand for beet crops,
Flax- would be a profitable crop if
linen factories were numerous. But
by reducing the amount of protection
given to linen manufactures the new
tariff has lessened the demand for
flax. Wool used to be a profitable
crop. But by repealing the wool du
ties the new tariff has ruined the wool
industries.
The Democratic free-trade policy
circumscribes the number ot crops
available to the farmer. It prevents
him from growing new crops in place
of the wheat that it has lowered in
price by sending American money
abroad in exchange for articles that
should have been produced at home.
For it is to be kept in mind that Europe
has ' not bought more from
us in proportion as we have
bought more from it. Large parts
of the profits that England has
made on our purchases of m nufact-
ured goads have been vested in the
development of Eist Indian and Ar
gentine railways and wheat fields. To
get cheaper wheat and cheaper raw
cotton has been the steadfast aim of
Great Britain, and in some degree of
all western Europe. And we have
been aiding them to do it. United
States money has been spent, in the
last analysis of its expenditure, in en
abling some foreign nations to buy
from other nations more cheaply than
they can buy from us, Therefore
wheat is quoted at 50 cents in mar
kets where it used to be cheap at i
and cotton sells at 5 cents where it
ased to sell for 15 cents.
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
The city of Butte, Montana, suffered
a terrible 6lfl ciion last night' trom
gisnt-powder being stored where it
should not have been. Fire broke
out in the Royal Milling C .'s ware
house, and this spread to the Kenyon
Cornell warehouse, in which were sev
eral carloads of that explosive The
firemen worked to save the building
from the flames, but it caught fire and
three terrific explosions occurred.
Citizens and firemen were burled for
long distances and mangled in a fright
ful manner. The number of the dead
amounts to 75, and .there are very
many injured and crippled. Butte is
in consternation at the horrible oc
currence, and the exact number of dead
and injured could not be ascertained
at the last account. The dispatch
states that every member of the lira
department was eiuier killed or
wounded, and the members of the
hospital corps and police force, who
hurried to the scene to render assist
ance after the first explosion, suf
fered terribly from the Btorm of death
that raged in the vi inity. Of
course there will be an inquiry made
by the authorities as to the person or
persons who were responsible for stor
ing a quantity of giant powder where
there was danger of it being exploded,
and the verdict will be that some one
had bluudi-red. Whether any punish
ment will be given .the careless parties
remains to be seen; but very likely no
one will be made to suffer for this
criminal neuligenea. This is the usual
ending of these accidents The cor
oner's jury returns a verdict jol the
cause of death; and no tt'ps are tk- n
to punish the criminally careless.
Human life id held at too low a price,
and if examples were made of those
who causes the death of their fellow
men by not performing their duty or
disobeying s'atutory regulations there
would be greater care exercised and
there would be less deplorable acci
dents.
The good work has begun at Sales-,
and already a bill has been introduced
to abolish the railroad commission. It
is to be hoped that the useless com mis
sion which are paid out of the public
treasury, will receive their death
knell at this session of the legislature.
They have existed too long, and econ
omy demands that every unnecessary
expense be curtailed. If there is a
aurplu in the 'are treasury it can be
used to better advantages than paying
apiaries for fat tfficea for political pets.
COURT REPORTER.
The Dal'ea Times Mountaineer
Bays the "reporter of the supreme
court is as necessary as the supreme
court, and to make economy far reach
ing why not abolish the supreme court,
especially the session held at Pendle
ton?" The Dalles paper is probably
not aware that the supreme court is
provided with a clerk and reporter and
there is no need for both, one being
able to perform the work in connec
tion with the court. For this reason
the office of the reporter could be
abolished. East Oregonian.
The clerk of the supreme court
has not the time to perform
other than clerical duties, while the re
porter in epitomizing decisions, care
fully arranging them, furnishing syl
lubi, annotating and indexing them, is
fully employed. For this bo only re
ceives $500 a year, a'd to become pro
ficient requires a good knowledge of
jurisprudence and a careful discrimina
tion in grouping the important points
in the syllabus Toe legal professiou
wouli rather have no decisions of the
supreme court than have tbem collated
in a careless and unprofessional man
ner. Further, the decisions of our
supreme court, the same as those of the
courts of other states, are books of
reference, and there is something wore
than clerical ability required. We
shall maintain our original position,
that if the clerk were to simply have
bis minutes of proceedings printed as
the decisions of the blithest court in
this state they would he absolutely
useless. It is necessary that they be
carefully collated by a lawyer,
printed in such a shape that they 'will
be books of ready reference, and in
dexed in such a manner that different
decisions may be easily found. The
Times Mountaineer believes in the
present legislature exercising the
closest ecouomy, and in stopping every
unneccessary expense; but it is not
economy to publish the Oregon reports
in such a bunding shape that they
would be of no use to any one, and
would be a disgrace to the state and
to our supreme court.
UNEARNED LAND GRANTS.
Senator Dolph is opposed to the for
feiture of unearned railroad lands. He
says: "Congress has not the power to
forfeit these lands, but that the right
to tbem was vested in the railroads.
Even if congress bad the power to for
feit them it would be unjust and in
equitable to the railroad companies
Now, .we cannot see the force of thia
logic If the railroads have not earned
the lands according to the terms of
the contract made with them and this
is admitted we cannot see why the
railroads should be treated differently
from that of private individuals.
Salem Post.
The euitor of the Pott is mistaken
in this statement. Senator Dolph is not
opposed to the forfeiture of unearned
land grants, and the language quoted
was used in reference to the Demo
cratic bill, which provided for the for
feiture of the laud grant of the North
ern Pacifi) from Bismarck, Dakota, to
its terminus on Puget Sound. Con
gress did not have the power to forfeit
these lands, because the road bad been
completed and patents had been issued.
Besides the title to the lands bad
passed to bona fide purchasers, and
forfeiture, under such circumstances,
would have been a gross injustice.
The forfeiture of the Wallula-Portland
land grant passed the senate by means
of the efforts of Mr. Dolpb, and there
never has been a . bill introduced in
congress in favor of unearned grants
reverting to the public domain that
Mr. Djlph has not championed the
cuse ol the settler. These and other
statements are manufactured by
the enemie8 of the senior senator from
Oregon to secure his defeat, and are
false in .every particular. They are
made use of by unprincipled political
schemers to secure personal ends and,
perhaps, for personal gain.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Pendleton has a senatorial candi
date. So has Astoria, HillsLoro, and
other towns yet to bear from.
Oregon has a supreme court repor
ter, and he is unnecessary. Tbb office
should be abolished. East Oregonian.
The reporter is as necessary as the nu-
preme court, and to make economy far
reaohing why not abolish the supreme
court, especially the session that is
held at Pendleton.
The members of the Oregon legisla
ture are not in favor of unlimited
coinage, and a resolution to memorial
iZi congress to that effect was -quickly
tabled yesterday. Itiis state has not
run mad after the silver goddess, and
it would be well for our representa
tives in congress to note this fact.
The election of Mr. Charles B.
Moores, of Salsm, as speaker of the
house, was a very wise selection. Mr
Moores was private secretary to 4o
Moody, and is very competent for the
position. Ha is a very courteous gen-
leiuan, and has many friends in every
portion of Oregon, ilia rulings will
he just and impartial, and legislation
will proceed e peditiously and smooth
ly with Mr, Moores in the chair.
The inauguration of Governor L rd
will mark a new era in the history of
gubernatorial affairs in this state.
Pennoyerisms have passed out of ex
istence, and the management of state
ffiira will be in the hands of a Re
publican and not of one who desires
to make himself notorious by idiosyn
rracie. Governor Pennoyer has made
a good exeenuve in many particulars,
and even in his eccentricities he may
have been honest; nut the change did
not come too soon, and will be gener
ally acceptable.
Between the senatorial contest this
year and tbac of 18:2 there is a wide
difference. In the' election of June,
1882, there was no issue joined on the
senatorial question; but. last Jane
every Democratic paper in the state
er p uncallp declare that a vote t-r
t'i' R pn'-lican ticket, was a vote f ir
Mr D I ph. Thf Republicans entered
the c-nv-iM with this nndrtanding,
and the ticket received 20,000 major
ity. Thotie ho went iuto caucus and
supported Mr. D .Iph carried out the
wixbes of their constituents, and their
action will receive the endorsement of
the sovereign people.
It has been necessary for the D. P.
it A, N. Co. to construct a new trank
for the portage road at the Cascades,
and as this property belongs to the
state the legislature should reimburse
the private corporation for the outlay.
Every biennial session Salem receives
appropriations of several thousand
dollar for improvements to the public
institutions, and the cow counties of
Eastern Orogon should be sufficiently
remembered to be repaid the money
expended to keep the portage road in
operation, which makes opposition to
the railroad monopoly possible.
Public attention will center for the
next forty da;? at Salem, where the
biennial session of the Oregon legisla
tors is now beiDg held. It is very
likely that an organization was'etfected
today, and that one week from to
morrow the contest on the election of
U. 8 Senator will take place. The
capital will be the Scene of the great
est excitement during the legislative
session. Mn from different parts of
the state will go there for the purpose
of having new laws passed and others
to have old on-s repealed. It is very
largely R-puhlicau, and what is done
and left undone will be charged to the
party. Tt is to be hoped that every
member will act with care and cir
cumspection, and that, after adjourn
ment, the state will consider itself
benefitted in many ways. During
these times of business depression a
duty devolves upon every legislator to
act with a viiw to the greatest econo
my, and we believe the men at Silem
will not be remiss in this.
The representatives of Wasco and
adjoining counties, with possibly one
exception, will be stroog supporters of
Mr. Dolph for re-election. We have
interviewed Hon. W. W. Stiever,
joint senator for Wasco and Gilliam
counties, and Hons. T. R. Coon, and
T. H. MiGreer, joint representatives
for this and Sherman countie -, and
each has spoken fayorably of Mr.
Dolph and given us to understand that
they would support him for re election.
Mr. McGreer expressed himself very
positively in the matter, and said if be,
individually, were opposed to the re
elction of Mr. Dolpb, he should vote
for him as he considered the senti
ments of his constituents in his
favor. If the matter were submitted to
the popular vote in this portion of
Eastern Oregon, Mr. McGreer said,
Dolpb would be re-elected by a rous
ing majority. And this is undoubtedly
true in every part of the state, and
especially in the Inland Empire. The
people feel kindly towardx Mr. Dolph
for the forfeiture of the Wallula land
grant, settling the title to wagon road
lands, and for the bright prospects of
an open Columbia river. He has
worked earnestly for their interests
and they do not wish to see hire sup
planted by a new man who would have
tqpasa through a tediou initiation be
fore be could do any good to his con
stituents.
