Col. N. B. Sinnott ia out squarely as

the legand:
For Congressman :
COLi. N. B. SINNOTT
: Paper Money
Speaking of his candidacy to a rep?
resentatlve of this paper the Colonel
said: "You see I spnt five years of
my life in the mines of California, Ida
ho and Nevada. I know from exper
ience the hardships and dangers of the
mining camp. I would avoid all these
by abolishing the use of gold and sil
ver as money and substituting paper
Jn quantities sufficient to place every
man above the reach of want. Thus
the tens of thousands who are hourly
endangering their lives in the mines
could devote their energies to raising
cabbages, turnips and potatoes. When
my party gets into power I will have
barrels of paper money on tap on
every street corner with notices to the
people to come and help themselves.
Don't you think I'll carry the district
on that layout? Of course I will. Free
silver won't be in it any more."
Scored the Old Parties.
Hon. O. A. Patterson, the populist
orator from Colorado, addressed a small
audience at the court house in .this
city Wednesday, occupying about two
hours to define the- principles of the
populist party and in scoring the old
parties for their failure to administer
government affairs acceptably to the
people. Mr. Patterson devoted a con
siderable portion of his time to dis
cussing the money question, and gave
what he claimed to be a resume of the
financial legislation of the county for
the past hundred years. He took the
position that silver had. always been
the btandard of value in this county
prior to 1873, and could be made so to
day by proper legislation, and if, after
the gold was all driven out of circula
tion, there be not sufficient silver with
which to meet the demands of trade,
he would have the government issue
"certificates,' paper money, sufficient
to meet all demands, and also to pay
off the bonded indebtedness of the
nation, though he did not explain how
his 'certificates" would be redeemed,
or what there would be back of them
to cause them to circulate. Hla theor
ies, to say the least, were wild and un
tenable, though were in accord with
the views of many of his hearers.

A CHANCE FOB GOLDENDALE.
the
It May Tet Get Transportation Facilities
Equal to a Railroad.
Goldendale has been waiting for a
railroad almost as long as The Dalles
has for au open river to the sea; and
to
like The D.-Jles, when its fondest hopes
at
seemed almost to be rea!ized; they
have vanished as if by magic. Pro
for
ject after project for building a rail
A
road into the fertile Klickitat valley
haa fallen through, and the probability
of one being built seems further re
moved even than the completion of
tne locks at the Cascades. But an in
ventive genius, Mr. L. H. Campbell,
a practical engineer, of Portland, has
perfected a model for a series cf road
wagons and a traction .engine that bids
fair to solve the problem of furnishing
transportation facilities for localities
located as is Goldendale, and contem
plates going to that city for the pur
pose of laying his plan before the
people of Klickitat county, with the
proposition of forming a joint-stock
company and putting his apparatus in
use.
Mr. Campbell Is in the city and has
his model on exhibition at Snipes &
Kinersley s drugstore. It consists of
a number of trucks so coupled together
that all keep in the exact track of the
lead truck in rounding curves. Hither
to the difficulty in operating a train cf
road wagons drawn by traction engines
has been ia keeping the wagons in
line while rounding curves; each
wagon would diverge from the track
made by the engine, making a shorter
circuit than the engine or the wa?on
directly preceding it, Jhus rendering
it impossible to travel over winding
roads. . liy a peculiar system of coup
ling, Mr. Campbell proposes to over
come this difficulty. Both the forward
and rear axles of the wagon are on a
pivot, while the coupling is joined by
a triangle in the center of the car by
which the rear wheels are made to
follow the track of the forward wheels
no matter bow short the curve. He
has also invented a.powerful traction
engine with four drive wheels, similar
to a railroad locomotive, which he be
lieves will be able to draw a train of
six or eight cars up an ordinary grade.
The invention appears to be practi
cable, and if it fills the expectation of
the inventor, will revolutionize the
system of transmitting freight where
there are no railroads and where rail
roads will never be built, as he be
lieves be can move freight for one-half
the cost of. hauling It with teams.
His invention may result In furnishing
a substitute for a railroad Into Klicki
tat valley, and if taken hold of by the
people of that section can be con
structed in time to move their wheat
crop this season.
A Drank Man's Lack.
It is an old. saying "that you can't
kill a drunk man." and- the verifica
tion of this statement was realized by
the passengers on the east-bound over
land which arrived here last night.
While the train was speeding along at
a lively rate about two miles west of
Cascade Locks, the engineer was horri
fied to see a man lying with his head
on one of the rails, apparently asleep.
Tostopthe engine before It reached
the sleeping figure was impossible, but
the train was brought to as sudden a
standstill as possible, and the engineer
and fireman climbed out of the cab ex
pecting to find the mangled" form of a
man underneath the cars. In this they
were disappointed, for when they got
back to where he was, he was scram
bling up the side of the track protest
ing against' having been so rudely
awakened, though, for a wonder, he
was not injured in-the least. He had
been to the Cascades the day before,
where-he had imbibed too freely and
lain down to sleep off ' the effects of
his spree, with his head resting on a
bundle of clothes which he had placed
on one of the rails. How the cow
catcher knocked him away without
killing him is a mystery, and can only
be explained by the fact that he was
drunk and a drunk man can'tbe killed.
Better Than Gold.
John D. McGowan, of Chinook,
Wash., says he expects to witness the
day when the Columbia rirer Chinook
salmon product will reach 2,000.000
cases. This will be brought about hy
regulating the season and by artificial
propagation. Natural propagation
will not do It, as more care will have
to be taken of the spawn if the best re
sults are to be obtained, The aband
onment of spawn to its enemies and
the natural hardships it is bound to
encounter before young salmon can
rustle for themselves la the principal
drawback to propagation. Artificial
help and supervision is what is needed,
and Mr. McGowan says it is only a
question of time when we will get it,
J?he salmon of the Columbia is not
only our choicest good fish, but a
source of wealth far more desirable
than gold or silver. -
. Kootenai's Output.
The value of the output for the
Kootenai country for the present year
has been variously estimated at from
$5,000,00;) to $10,030,033. The latter
sum would seem nearer the mark, saya
the Spokesman-Review. The Slocan
Star alone will ship ore and concen
trates between the 1st of May and the
31st of December which run over $1,?
000,000. The, Hall mine should pro
duce close to $1,000,000 this. year.
This, with. jthe. product of the. Trial
Creek mines, and the other minea in
the Slocan, which are every month In
creasing their product, and the North
Star mine, which has contracted for
the delivery of 5000 tons this year, will
make an amwunt which will crowd $10,
000,000 pretty closely.
For tb Sake of Humanity.
Candidates for congress in this dis
trict are respectfully notified that they
may expect a formidable opponent
in the genial senior member of the
firm of Sinnott & Fish, he having an
nounce! himself as a candidate on a
paper-money platform. . The Colonel
says he Is actuated to do this from a
humanitarian standpoint. Gold and
Silver mining is such a hazardous call
ing that hundreds of good men lose
their lives every year a search of the
metals which nations recognize as
money. This sacrifice of life could be
prevented if paper were substituted, as
a medium of exchange, therefore' for
ihe sake of humanity the colonel pro
poses to lead a great reform measure.
A Suspicion; Clrcamstanoe.
It is getting to be rather hard papers
down at Astoria when a man must be
considered ' insane because he bestows
a little affection upon his own wife.
No doubt such action is uncommon in
the fair city by the sea, judging from"
the number of divorce cases that ap
pear Qn the court docket for Clatsop
county, which probably accounts for
the following item In the Budget .'
. "A hard-hearted woman recently had
a eouple arrested for making lore In
front of an open window. The couple
proved their marriage, and Justice
Abercrombia decided that a married
couple had a perfect r'ght to make
love in their own window with
the shade and window up. Tht
both
case
.was appealed to the city court
and
Judge Nelson confirmed the decision
of Judge Abercrombie. The . case
will
now be carried to the county court and
an attempt will be made on the insan
ity dodge, and it is not unlikely the
couple will be sent, to the insane asy
lum, lor in this country no sane man
was ever caught sparking hla own
wife."
TO EDUCATE THE YOUTHS.
The State Board of Ilortlcnltnre Pasaes
Resolution.
At a recent meeting of the state
board of horticulture the following
preamble and resolutions, asking that
horticulture bo taught in the public
schools, were adopted:
"Whereas, for some time during the
past, it has seomed to the several mem
bers of th state board of horticulture
of the state of Oregon that there ia a
great necessity for moro rudimentary
knowledge among our people on the
subject of horticulture; and
"Whereas, this occupation i3 fast be
coining our greatest iuduatry, and one
in which the general public is and
should be interested; and
Whereas it would be a life long
benefit to the recipients whether
life's labor was spent in country or
city occupation; and
Whereas, It is impossible for the
state bo&rd iu its work to reach the
youths of bur land in its fundamental
instruction as they desire; therefore
"Resolved, that it is the judgment
of this board that the state board of
public instruction should take meas
ures to introduce into the public
schools of thia state a rudimentary line
of instruction in horticulture, as the
essential elements of our education to
fit men and women for Intelligent
labor on the farm or in the orchard."
Since horticulture is becoming a
leadiug industry in the state, arid Is
certain to Decome one of the most
profitable occupations, it would be
profitable to give all students In the
public achoola instructions in this
branch, and it could profitably be
made one of the branches required to
be taught.

A Pleasant Afternoon. -Mrs.
Smith French and Mrs. J.: W.
Coudon gave an exceedingly pleasant
afternoon to their friends on Wednes
day, May 6tb. The handsome rooms
of the Smith French residence, . dec
orated with flowers and potted plants,
filled with ladies in gala attire made a
gay scene, and the merry voices and
constant hum of conversation told that
all were enjoying the occasion. .To
add variety, cards beautifully orna
mented with a painted branch of pine
and cones, were handed around; while
written on them was a play oi "words,
of the names of trees to be guessed.
Several ladies gave fifteen correct an
swers, and the prize, an Australian
silk oak, was decided by lot in favor of
Mrs. Judd Fish. After a sumptous
repast the party bade adieu to their
hostes's with congratulations on the
pleasure they had given. Those pre

" Had Three Karnes.
The Columbia river has had three
names. It was first called the Oregon
and afterwards it was called the Saint
Roque, but when it was discovered by
Robert Gray, in 1792, it was given the
name of bis vessel, the Columbia, in
place of the two floating appellations-
Oregon and Saint Roque, According
to Whitney, the original name of the
river was the Orejon, - "hlg ear"- or
''one that has big ears," the allusion
being to the custom of the Indians,
who were found in its region,' of
stretching their ears by boring them
and crowding them with ornaments."

She Becomes Eloquent While Discoursing
on the Precious Follow.
Bless em! They share our joys,
they double our sorrows, they tnpple
our expenses, they quadrupleour cares,
they excite our magnanimity, they in
crease our self respect, awaken our af
fection, control our property, and out
meneuver us in everything. This
would be a dreary world without them.
in i.iet, i may say, without prospects
ot successful contradiction, and with
out them this would n t be much of a
world anyhow. We love them and the
dear things can't help it. We control
tnem and tne precious fellows don t
know it. As husbands, they are
convenient, though not always on
band, as beaux, they are by no
means matchless. Tr.ey are the most
agreeable as visitors, handy at state
affairs, and indispensible at oyster sa
loons; splendid escorts for some other
fellow's wife or sister, and aa friends
they are better than women. As our
fathers, they are inexpensively grand.
A man may be a failure in business,
a wreck in constitution, not much to
boast of as a beauty, nothing as a wit,
less than nothing as a legislator for
womans' rlghta and not very brilliant
as members of the Dress; but - if our
Heavenly Father will overlook hl
shortcomings we can cover his picca-
uiiios witn tne aiviue mantle of our
charity. Then as cur husbands, how
we do love to parade them as our para
gons! In the language of the poet,

AFRAID OF MOOSE.
Sherman County Farmer Gives Some
- Timely Advice.
Editor Times-Mountaineer:
My attention has just been called to
an item in Tne Dalles Chronicle of
yesterday', saying that the-republican
nominees for the legislature are all in
favor of free transportation facilities
for Sherman county, and in case the
portage road project is carried out
some aid from the state may be neces
sary, and would be secured if the the
republican candidates were elected.
This might be true about Mr. Michell,
Mr. Huntington and Mr. Jones. They
might stand in with the people of
Sherman county to get a portage road
or some other kind of a road that
would give us an outlet to market,
but we can't expect anything from Mr.
Moore. When the proposition was
made to build the Rattlesnake road, I
am told Mr. Moore opposed it strongly,
because it would give the Sherman
county farmers a show to get to The
Dalles to do their trading, and he
would thereby lose Eome trade.
If Mr. Moore would oppose the build
ing of a wagon road, because it might
interfere with bis busiaess, can we ex
pect he would be any more liberal if
he should go to the legislature? In
this part of Sherman county we have
an idea that if . Mr. Moore was to be
elected to the legislature he would
work for Mr. Moore and nobedy else,
and we are afraid to take chances on
him. We cannot afford to take
chances on sending a man to the legis
lature who "has shown himself so self
ish, and I would adyise all of the farm
ers to vote for a man who Is more lib
eral. " ' FarmehV

To the yoters of Wasco oounty.
Gehtlomen: I. am 'a candidate for
the office of county school superintend
ent of Wasco county, Oregon f I know
it to be a practice among candidates
to go among you to personally present
claims, and urge that they should be
chosen. While I do not condemn this
cause, or in any sense disnarage a
worthy custom of a people I am among,
I wish to state my reasons for not com
plying. First, my business Is such
that I cannot afford the time; second,
I have been in the county for 13 years
and am fairly well acquainted with the
people; third, I did not seek the nom
ination, as I had previously run unsuc
cessfully. As I said in the oonvestlon
when nominated, I am in the hands of
my friejjds... If elected, I shall appre
ciate the honor, and fill the office to
the oest of my ability.
My service to my race has been al
most exclusively in educational work.
A greater part of which has been In
graded schools, as teacher, or princi
pal. While it is yet 'today" w'th me,
I shall teaeh unless called to the hegher
work of superintendence by your ruff
rage. Gentloman, I humbly await
your decision. Aaron Fbazieb.
Took Vitriol,
Just before noon Thursday H. E.-Haw-thorn
caused a sensation among the
residents on the bluff in the neighbor
hood of Liberty street, by announcing
his Intention to end his life. He. has
been separated from his wife about a,
year, and that morning went to, her
house and informed her that be in
tended to suicide, at the same time
drinking; a dark colored liquor from a
bottle. He soon showed signs of being
sick,' and Mrs. Hawthorn became
alarmed, notified Sheriff Driver, who
when he called at the residence, found
Hawthorn In no immediate danger of
departing this life, though be was
somewhat nauseated from the effect of
the drug he had: taken, which prdved
to be .blue vitriol. The vitriol had
acted as an emetic, producing no more
serious effect than a severe attack cJ

; The Fish and Jonah. -Rev.
Gibson of Emanuel church,
San Francisco, who gained unenviable
notoriety in the consequence of the
murder of Blarch Lamont and Minnie
WUH,ams, preached ' a sermon last
Sunday to prove that the story of
Jonah being swallowed by a whale was
not a legend, but a divinely recorded
truth of history. He showed that a
big fish could iwallow a man, that
God made the fish for this special
purpose,' that Jonah was the same as
dead when in the fish's belly, yet
kept up such a kicking and squirm
ing that the. fish was glad to got . rid
of him. and finally, that thq story was
not only literally true, but it went to
prove the literal truthfulness of all
other bible stories.
The Days in Town.
Messrs. J. G. and I. N. Day, Jr., ac
companied by Mr. G. W. Percy, of
San Francisco, came up today on the
steamer Sadie B. and returned to the.
locks in the afternoon. When asked
concerning the status of affairs at the
locks, the Messrs. Day informed us
that they had virtually completed all
requirements of their' contract, and
could open the locks within a week's
time if granted permission by the
engineers. ; As to the work on
the uncompleted wall they say that
can . be done within three weeks,
if constructed of concrete, but if built
of solid masonry several months would
be required. To accomplish thia work
there are no available funds, and un
less the sundry civil bill shall become
a law, there is no possibility of the
locks being opened this season. The
Messrs. Day protest that they are anx
ious that the locks shall be opened,
but claim to be powerless to do any
thing to hasten the matter, and appear
most Indifferent to the wishes of the
the people concerning the matter.
BENNETT OK NOBTHRCP.
The Contest In This District
Between
Them.
Judge A. S. Bennett, the democratic
nominee for congress, aidressed a
large audience at the court house in
this city, Tuesday evening. He was
introduced by Mayor Carroll, and
made a speech that was listened to
with wrapt attention throughout. He I
is a calm, clear-spoken, logical speaker,
possessing a personality that at once
impresses hla hearers with hia aincer- I
ity and honesty. Hia argument was
confined principally to the financial
issues, although he took occasion to
express his .views on the tariff. We
have never heard the effects of a pro
tective tariff so clearly shown us they
were by him. That hia remarka
carried conviction to many there can
be no doubt. . He is in favor of the free
aud unlimited coinage of silver and
certainly presented his side of thia
vexed question with force and logic.
There is but very little doubt that the
congressional :fight really lays between
Judge- Northrup, the goli standard
caudldate, and' Judge Bennett. If the
populists become convinced of thia
fact the election will depend lirgely j
upon which of the above they would
prefer to haves their votes counted for.
