.MAY 4, 1895 CREDIT AND CURRENCY. One of the most mischievous of cur rent fallacies ia the contention that a large increase of currency, either in the form of free silver or some other . kind of inflation, is necessary to the proper transaction of the business of the country, says the Globe-Democrat. - We are constantly being told by a cer , tain order of. agitators that a scarcity of money is the principal cause of hard . times, and that general prosperity would at once succeed a doubling of the amount of circulation. Many hon est and more or less intelligent people r accept this sophistry without slipping to think that an increase of currency does not imply that it is to be distrib uted as a popular gift, without any thing being given in return for it. No . matter how abundant the supply of money might be made, it would still . be obtainable only in exchange for products or. services. There would have to be something -to sell, or the money would never reach the people; and the man who now has something to sell can get the money for it at any moment. There is no lack of currency for all legitimate purposes. As.a mat ter of fact there is a big surplus of it, for which there is no use, and the banks are offering to loan it at a re markably low rate of interest. . All intelligent citizens ought to know that in reality the business of the country is carried on with a com paratively small amount . of actual money. All large commercial opera tions are mainly conducted by means of checks and drafts, the proportion of currency employed being only from 5 to 10 per cent; and a recent investiga tion shows that the same is true in a ' striking degree of the smaller forms of trade which represent the daily buying and selling of the necessaries of life. The comptroller of the currency caused inquiry to be made of the na tional banks as to the character of the deposits made on the nearest settling day by retail grocers, butchers, clo thiers, fuel dealers and furniture deal ers, and replies were received from 2465 different points all over the coun try. From these reports, a careful estimate has been prepared which dem- ' onstrates that payments by check range from 54 per cent of the total settle ments in retail trade in the north cen . tral states to 65 per cent in the south .' central. Thus it will be seen that even in this relation, where the most actual money is handled, the instru ments of credit play a larger part than the currency; and the use of these credit instruments is constantly grow ling on account of their manifest con- : venience.. That is to say, the tendency is toward a smaller rather, than a . greater employment of money in busi ness affairs; and this is one of the best answers to the talk about the necessity for an -increase of the currency. SOUND MONET. The following is what the New York Sun has to say on this subject: "By itself no phrase is emptier. Pres ident Cleveland of the District of Colum bia and John P. Jones of Nevada both ; - say that they are for sound money; and, stopping, there, neither can deny the other's truthfulness. Yet Jones is -, known to be for free silver coinage at the rate of sixteen to one, and Grover Cleveland for something different, which he has never defined with a pre cision equal to Jones's. It seems as though all the statesmen, excepting, perhaps, Secretary Morton, who are opposed' to Senator Jones and to ' the free silver party, now rampant, dread to say the awful words which alone can mane tneir nnanciai programme un mistakable. "The alternative for free silver coin age at sixteen to one is what we have, namely, gold, as the one and perma- .. nent measure of. value and standard of currency. This has all along been manifest, although the efforts have been frantic and often ludicrous to avoid saying it, or to prevent it from being recognized. The issue which the silver men say they will precipi- , tate, cannot be modified by delusion or pretense, on either side. 'The issue is between gold and silver as the standard of currency, the value of each metal, with respect to each other and to other commodities, being, totally beyond the power of any financial legislation or convention to change. "The silver proposition is to discard the gold standard and to substitute the standard of silver; to measure things by silver instead of by gold. We meas ure by gold new, and not by silver. The silver men propose to abolish our present system and to substitute an other, pleading certain advantages and denying the opposed disadvantages. Yet, notwithstanding all the turmoil, mystification, and crazy rhetoric of the contest, with which this generation is particularly familiar, gold has been the one ruling standard of this country for . full sixty years. Gold monometallism is wnat we nave nad in jact throughout I S. in ... 1. i . j I and it is what the anti-silver men must confess they favor, or stand for silver . There is no middle ground."

Hood River .Glacier: .It is likely starw berry pickers will be in demand here next month. Heretofore Indians have done most of this work, but they are not a desirable class of pickers, and growers would prefer to employ white J boys and girls from the country dis tricts. Families with children big enough to do this kind of work will do well to come here prepared to camp during the berry season. Mr. J. H. Sherar is still at work with a force of men on the new grade around the current creek hill near Antelope. He lacks about $800 of having enough money to finish the road. Mr. and Mrs. A.

La Grande Chronicle: Railroad men report that nearly the entire popula tion of Pendleton was out to meet the freight train Sunday evening in the hope of apprehending a man who is supposed to be Brady, the murderer of bnerirr uogara, of California, and for whom a large reward is offered. A clue to the suspect was given out by a tramp who recently arrived in Pendle ton. . ' r.. - .- ! The total reward for the capture of Brady, the train robber, is $15,000. There are many reasons to believe that the man is now passing through Ore gon, trying to get to a port where he can ship for some foreign country. As the country is full of tramns it is natu ral that a good "many should be mis taken for Brady. This fact alone will help him through: for evervbodv will always insist the wrong man has been captured every time. ' FOSSIL. TO THE DALLES. A Road Projected From the Southern Portion of Gilliam County to This City. The Fossil Journal, in an editorial on this subject, speaks very encour agingly of the matter, and believes that goods could be delivered as cheaply from 1 he Dalles as from Ar lington. It says that freight from the latter point is 60 cents, and it could be brought for the same rates from the former. We quote as follows: "Those who have never given any thought to the matter have no idea of the advantage such a road would be, not only to Fossil, but to Mayville and Condon and surrounding and interven ing country. A preliminary survey has been made over a direct route from Fossil to the mouth of Thirtymile, thence up the hill on the other side of the John Day river to the table land in Sherman county, where connection is made with a good road running di rect to The Dalies. By this route it is but 70 miles from Fossil to The Dalles or only 10 miles farther than from Fossil to Arlington. Mayville and Condon can make connections with this road that will bring them also within 70 miles of The Dalies. "This week Mr. Gilman-interviewed the leading business men of The Dalles, who agreed to give substantial help in building the proposed road. He also saw prominent business men and farmers of Sherman county, who stated that Sherman county would help. He is satisfied that if Gilliam will make the road in this county, Wasco and Sherman counties will build the grade on the other side of the river. Private" subscription will do- a good deal toward building the road in this county,but Gilliam county should make an appropriation for this purpose say one dollar for every dol lar that is raised by subscription. The county court has practiced this plan to some extent already, with good results. "As to the advantages that would re sult from such a road, they are so ap parent that it is not necessary to say much concerning them. Once it is built, goods can be laid down as cheap in Fossil and Condon as in Arlington, as there is some 50 cents difference in the average price of freight between Portland and The Dalles and Portland and Arlington, in favor of the former point, whose water competition has cut the railroad rates one-half between The Dalles and Portland. This -50 cents would haul the freight from The Dalles to Fossil or Condon. Before long, when the locks are completed, The Dalles boats will be even better prepared to compete with the railroad, as there will be no breaking of cargo between there and the seaboard, and The Dalles should then be able to sup ply interior points at Portland prices. "Grain at present brings 10 cents per bushel more in The Dalles than in Arlington. This being so, the May ville farmers can well afford to haul their wheat an extra 15 or 20 miles for the extra 10 cents per bushel, and sev eral of the largest farmers of that sec tion are strongly in favor of the early building of the road." FRENCH-WILLIAMS NUPTIALS. Miss Annie Williams Married to Mr. Barry W. French In Portland. Mfss Annie Williams, of Portland, was married Saturday afternoon at the residence of her mother in that city to Mr. Harry French of The Dalles, Rev. W. C. Curtis, pastor of the Congrega tional church officiating. The wed ding was a very quiet one, and only members of the immediate families were present. With abundant fes toons and decorations, in leaves and flowers, the rooms were made into a bower of beauty. After the ceremony the persons sat down to a dainty lunch. The young, people are Well known in this city, the bride having been born here, and made this her residence until recently. She is a sister of Mr. Ed. M. Williams, one of our prominent merchants, - and a young . lady highly esteemed and respected for many beautiful traits of character. The groom is a young man ' of exem plary habits, and has many warm per sonal friends in this vicinity. In en tering the new relation Mr. and Mrs. French will receive the heartiest con gratulations of the community and the kindest wishes for the bluest skies and the smoothest seas in their future voy age on the ocean of life. A Bicycle Trip. Yesterday at 8 o'clock in the morn ing a party consisting of Ed. Riggs, Charles Fritz, Harry Egging, Walter Johns and Bert Barret left the city on a bicycle jaunt to the mouth of the Deschutes, a distance of about fifteen miles. They arrived at Mrs. Shelly 's residence about the noon hour, where they partook of a bountiful meal. About a mile and a half this way from the Deschutes Mr. Harry Esping, coasting down a hill, struck a- bridge, throwing him from the bicycle, and re sulting in breaking one of the pedals and bruising his knee. .Notwithstand ing the accident he mounted the wheel and managed to make the mouth of the Deschutes with the remaining pedal, and took the train from Celilo for the city. The other members of the party stuck to their wheels, and arrived at The Dalles at 3:30 o'clock in the after noon. They express themselves well satisfied with the trip. ' Plentiful Game Birds. The extent to which the Mongolian pheasant has multiplied and spread out over the Willamette valley in large numbers is not generally understood, but it is a fact that they are exceed ingly numerous. An index of this was shown by a gentleman coming north on the local train Monday at the same time as Secretary of State Kin- caid came back from Eugene, says the Salem Statesman. The gentleman takes a great interest in the pheasants, and concluded he would make a test of their -numerical strength, so he com menced counting. He sat on the east side of the coach, looking out only from that side and from Eugene to Al bany at no greater distance than about sixty yards from the railroad track he counted sixty of these beautiful, birds running around in the fields and pas tures, if that strip of country ia "a fair criterion, it is easy to see that the bird has a solid footing in this valley. Killed on the Rail. The Baker City Democrat says: "The news was received in this city yester day of the Killing of James tlewett, oy being run over bv a tram of the O. a. & in. on DTiday evening about miles west of Huntington. "Only meagre particulars of the killing have been received. Hewett was a passenger leaving Huntington for Weatherby, and it is said that he was in an intoxicated condition. It is supposed that he either fell from the train or in jumping fell under the cars. His remains were taken to Huntington, where they were interred yesterday afternoon. "Hewett was a miner, and formerly held the position of foreman of the Maria mine at Mineral City. He is spoken of as being a good citizen and his death is deeply regretted by those who knew him." .

Hoping the public will encourage a scientific man to do their work, Mr. Hixson is recommended. GRANT DISTILLERY. Mr. Walker Increasing His Business In Different Ways. Mr. Walker, of the Distilling and Milling company of Grants, passed through The Dalles la9t evening en route home from San Francisco, w here he recently placed several large or ders. Mr.' Walker expects to greatly increase his present working force. His establishment now pays tribute to the federal government to the extent of $700 daily, and is considered one of the most important plants on the coast. Mr. Walker's visit to California may result in the founding in Yolo county, that state, of an enormous dis tillery for commercial alcohol. In the locality mentioned millions of bushels of wheat are produced each year, much of which, owing to the surfeited mar ket, is either sold at a beggarly price or fed to stock at a loss. The conver sion of the grain into spirits is a new one, there and has excited unbounded interest. School Text Books.

Nielsen, of this city, has procured some sacaline seed, and will test its growth in his garden in this vicinity. Th is new forage plant has a wonderful reputation, and is said to grow in all kinds of soil, often attain ing a height of 12 feet by June. It will thrive on wet or dry ground, and its nutritive qualities are unsurpassed by any pasture grass. On the dry and arid lands if it could be successfully grown it would furnish abundant feed for the numerous, herds that now roam over the hills and plains. If the test that Mr. Neilsen is making proves suc cessful it will be largely introduced in Eastern Oregon, and if half is true what is said about it a revolution may may be expected in the matter of pas turage. Volunteer Firemen's Association. Mr. W. H. Butts, of this city, at tended the meeting of the executive committee of the Volunteer Firemen's association of Oregon and Washing ton, held Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, at the new eitf hall in Port land. He was elected chairman of the committee, and A. P. Pinkers, of Van couver, secretary. A new constitution and by-laws was adopted, which, as soon as approved by the association will be printed. The tournament of the association will be held in Van couver, Wash., on September 3d, and a meeting of the executive committee on July loth at the same place. Great preparations are being made for the annual tournament, and no doubt it will be one of the most successful ever held. A Petrified Forest. In making the fill near the high bridge the force of men employed by the O. R, & N. Co., exhumed a few days ago a buried forest of petrified timber. This is evidence that this portion of the country, aside from the volcanic overflow, has been filling in since, either from the washing of streams or other causes. -The trees were of the poplar species, which only thrive in moist places while the growths around and in the gulch are pine and fir. The specimens were found several feet under ground, show ing that they had laid in their position for countless centuries. This buried forest has been visited by several per sons, who have been anxious to gather pieces of the petrified substance as relics. Another Cbase. The Pendleton East Oreaonian savs "Word has been received at this office that the man . who stole a span of horses, hack and harness at - Walla Walla, stopped in Ukiah on the night of Wednesday, the 24th, and left his outnt. in its place he took two .fresh horses from the livery stable and left during the night for the mountains. xne LiOng ureeK mail carrier was a loser by the fugitive taking his horse and saddle. When the theft had been discovered, officers immediately started on his trail and at the time the last news came were closely following him, The name of the horse thief was not given, but it is understood he has been looked for by Walla Walla officers for some time. Police Court. Last night there were four hobos ar rested and confined in . the city jail. Two of these were bovs. aged 14 and 16 years respectively, who had escaped from their parents - in Portland and were making a tramp through the country. This morning they were brought before the recorder, and three of them were fined $5 apiece, and the other one $10. The boys' fathers have been notified " in Portland, and they will be sent back as soon as their fines have been worked out.

K l(k. f.. ' . ,, . . . . 1 I All by the Dr. Dr. Miles' Nervine Restores Health Wagon Competition With Rail. The Corvallis Times says the plan of hauling freight by teams in competi tion with and parallel to a line of rail road is breaking out in a new place. The S. P. charges for freight from Portland to Jefferson, Marion county, 25 to 38 cents per 100 pounds. Now the O. R. & N. Co. carries the freight for Jefferson merchants by boat to Al bany for 9i cents per 100. and the mer chants haul it by team from Albany to Jefferson for 10 cents per 100, making a total of 19i cents per 100 pounds, ef fecting a saving of 6i to 18i cents per 100. The railroad commission ought to require the farmers to raise their rates for teaming, as the cut hurts the S. P.'s business. The Fishing Industry. During the flood of 1894 about twenty three fish-wheels were washed out by the flood, at a loss of perhaps $75,000 or $80,000 to the owners. At the time this was thought a loss that could not be recovered for many years; but when the season opened on the 10th of this month, every wheel had been replaced, and besides there were several scows that had been constructed. Last sea son there was a phenomenal run of sal mon; but this year it is not expected to be as large. Whatever number may come up the turbulens current of the Columbia it will be welcomed by fish wheels on each side of the river, and it is hoped that this will be exceptionally large. Extensive Tomato Culture. Within the suburbs of The Dalles are fruit orchards and vegetable gar dens of large proportions, owned and managed by residents. One in partic ular attracted our attention by the systematic manner in which tomato culture is carried on. Among many other very interesting features are the preparations made for a ten-acre patch of these plants, and the proprietor in forms us that five to six tons per acre is not an over-estimate on , such land as this, with proper treatment. This man has about an acre of fine straw berry vines, which are very heavily ladened with the luscious fruit, some of which will be on the market within ten days. The Prize Dance. considerable interest was taken in the prize dance at the opera house last (Saturday night, and when the music began there were about forty couples on the floor. C. L. Phillips, Dr. Sid- dall and Mrs. Klein were chosen as judges. Dancing was kept up till a late hour, and the judges awarded the prizes to Mr. Chas. Tibbetts and Miss Pauline Buchler. The gentleman's prize was a handsome writing desk. and the lady's an elegant dressing case. We understand there were many fine dancers on the floor, and our city enioys agooa reputation in this line.
