A GOOD PROPOSITION.
Goldendale Wnnts Telephone Connection
With The Ditllea.
A move is on loot at Goldendale to
establish telephone communication
between that place and The Dal lis.
The proprietors of the telephone sys
tem at Goldendale propose to estab
lish a line leading from that place, by
way of Centerville, to Tbe Dalles, ano1
tisk a subsidy from this citv of $12r
vhen the poles are set and $125 when
the. line is in operation. Seufert &
Condon offer to give the use of "theit
line from here to the Norrows, a fen
miles above the city, where the river
is little more than 300 feet in width.
and where connection with the Wash
ington side can ' be made without difficulties.
The projectors of this scheme pro
pose, if the line is established, to keei
daily bulletins in Goldendale and Cen
tervllle of the wheat market i n Th
Dalles during the w heat reason, als
to give daily quotations of the woo'
market in this city.
The benefits to be derived by Thi
Dalles from felephone communicatiot
with the pri k i ial plsices in Klickita'
county a-e readily seen. It will draw
a vast volume of trade here that now
goes to Grant, simply on account oi
more readv coramunlcasion. Then
lntild be little difficulty in raising th
suVsidy of J250 from the ferryboa
company, the warehouses and 'ht
steamboat line, since their busines-
would be materially increase ! if thev
could keep their customers advised
each day of the prices that prev.- il
here. The managers of the enter
prises mr-miorei above are sll enter
prising bnsiness men, and when the
Goldendale peo l-i lay th-ir proposition
befjre them, then is little doubt that
the subsily will be forti. coming im
mediately. '

Why not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor food,

If we could examine our stomach we

But, unless we are doctors, we never

xne discoverers were a party of pros
pectors from the Comstock. They had
pitched themselves at the foot of the
mountain, and for a few evenings
thought themselves bewitched. Each
evening, a little after dark, when the
air was calm and all was quiet, a mys
terious concert began. Out from the
face of the big mountain were wafted
soft strains that seemed -to cause th
whole atmosphere to oniver in their
floated over the camp. The music then
appeared to pass over nntil it was ftr,
far away and almost lost in the dis
tance, when, beginning with a tinklinir
as of many little silver bells, there
would be a fresh gush of sweet notes
from the mountain. Durinir the dav-
light hours little if the . mysterious
music was heard, and it was soon set
tled that it was not caused bv the wind.
A spring near which the explorers had
pitched their tent afforded the only
good camping grounds in the neighbor
hood, and as each new party of pros
pectors arrived at the spot the wonder
grew.
Some Piute Indians who came aloncr
niiu campea at tne spring were found
to be acquainted with the peculiar
musical character of the mountain.
They called it the "Singing Mountain."
Some of the men collected in the camp
became more interested in the moun
tain than in prospecting and gave
most of their time to an investigation
of the mystery of the musical sounds
heard to proceed from it. They found
that the whole face of the mountain
was covered with thin flakes of a hard
crystalline rock. There were great
beds of these flakes. The investigators
concluded that the musical sounds
heard proceeded from this loose ma
terial, huge drifts of which seemed to
be gradually working their way down
the steep face of the mountain. At
all events, the 6trains heard at the
foot of the mountain in the evening's
stillness seemed to be produced by the
uniting and blending of the myriads of
bell-like tinklings proceeding from the
immense beds of slaty debris creeping,
glacier-like, down the slope. This so
lution of the mystery of the musical
mountain is the only one worthy of
notice. As no mines of value were
found, the district was soon deserted
and has since seldom been visited.
Therefore few, except the old-time
prospectors, knew much about the
Singing Mountain. v

Sample Conversation Between Two Amerl.
can Women Who Get Dressed in Europe.
I sat in a bank recently which is
much patronized by women who make
their own deposits and cut olf their
own coupons, says a writer in Kate
Field's Washington. Every woman
knew the woman she jostled. Here is
a condensed extract of the conversa
tion I overheard:
"When do you sail?"
'On the 16th." . " -
"Why don't you go with, us a week
later?"
"I can't. , Our passage has been
taken for days. Where are you go
ing?" "Direct to Paris. I've nothing to
wear and I've been waiting until I
could lay in a supply of clothes
abroad."
"That is just the way with me. I
can get everything so much cheaper in
Paris than here, you know. get nil
my bonnets and gowns abroad. Dirtf
you?" -
"Of course; and I find them so civil
at the Bon Marche. I get my gloves
there and lots of things."
'So do I; but do youknow I've found
a dressmaker in London who. has won
derfully good taste, and it costs next
to nothing to have gowns from her?
The materials are so much chea per than
with us, and she only charges thirty '
shillings for the making." ,
"You don't say so! Give me her ad
dress. Shall you travel much?"
"No. My husband likes Paris be
cause he meets other Americans. - You
know he doesn't speak the languages,
and he wouldn't go at all but for me.
I tell him I must have a change. I'm
worn out with social duties. Aren't
you?"
'Yes. Then IU see you on the other
side. Good-by " ;
"Good-by. I

Wall Giving Way.
It is reported in the city today that
the wall on the river side at the upper
end of the canal at the Cascades is be
ginning to give way under the pres
sure of the high water, at a point where
the solid masonry and rip-rap was not
completed. How serious the damage
done has been is not known, but where
the wail is weakening is -the most ex
posed place on the entire work, and is
least protected. The engineers it ap
pears have had the wall on the Oregon
side completed, while they have al
lowed the place where the greatest force
of water strikes to remain unwished.

WRITERS OF MORBID BOOKS.'
So They Realize What as Opportunity (or
Uood They Miss?
I wonder, asks a Gentlewoman writer,
is it the authors or the public who are
to blame for the immense amount of
morbid literature that floods the mar
ket. The supply is generally influenced by
the demand, it Is true, but authors for
get the tremendous opportunity that is
theirs of swaying the public taste for
wholesome novels.
If they recognized more truthfully,
their power, and instead of pandering
to a style which, though it may please
the vulgar, cannot but make the judi
cious grieve, held the mirror up to na
ture in her purest, not her lowest,
sense, there is ho doubt that they
would swiftly revolutionize the present
ephemeral craving for what one writer
has termed "highly seasoned litera
ture." .
Let us have fiction that while it in
terests does not disgust, and lay aside
the hideous notion that realism must of
force go hand in hand with evil, and an
abuse of all the old faiths we have
hitherto cherished and held dear.
It is the miserable fashion to write as .
if truth, and honor, and purity and be
lief were nonexistent. It is a lie.
These qualities do exist; our men are
as loyal and true and faithful as they
always have been, and our women are '
not one whit less pure now that they
are treated as at least the equalof man,
anJ not with the semi-barbaric eastern
idea that they are inferior animals.

MULEY HASSAN AND THE JEWS,
lie Presented to Them Only the Benevo
lent Elde of His Character.
The Jewish subjects of Muley Has
san will sincerelv lament ' his sudden
death. Nothing, it is true, could be
much worse to our ideas than the con
dition of the Jews under the late Sul
tan, but a lower depth may yet
open in the deep. Muley Hassan pre-'
scnted to the Jews only the benevolent;
side of his character. He 6howed no
countenance to the oppressors of the,
Jews, says the London Jewish Chroni-'
icle, and when well authenticated
abuses were brought under his notice
he did something to remove them.
About a year ago an occasion arose
when Muley Hassan displayed at once
his genuine love of justice and his ori
ental dislike of foreign interference.
The governor of Morocco citadel , had
displayed more than usual vigor in ap
plying the bastinado to the Jews. The ,
latter applied for redress to the minis
ters of foreign powers at Tangier. The
sultan resented this appeal, - but reme
died, the , ; abuse. "Conduct thyself,
wrote Muley Hassan to his over-energetic
officer in Morocco, "towards tht"1
Jews in the same way as thou actesl
toward Mohammedans under thy ad
ministration; in civil affairs do justice
to them, and in religious matters leave
absolutely to their rabbis the task oi
deciding them." This friendly disposi
tion was more than shared by the Jews
of Morocco. Thev had an almost ex
aggerated fondness for Muley Hassan,
forgetting that while his active good
will was but spasmodic the cruelties .
and oppressive exactions of his depu
ties were a constant and never-failing
factor in the life of the Jews of his do
minion. It may be that the death of
Muley Hassan may urge " forward that
growth of self-consciousness which
has always preceded progress in Juda
ism. The Jews of Morocco should not
let the opportunity slip. Let them seek
equality before the law. If that were
once granted to them they would show
themselves unworthy of the great race
of justice lovers to which they belong
were they to allow their rights to be
snatched from them by the small fry
of local oppressors. -

Heartrending- Scenes Witnessed In South
ern 1' run co.
Normandy and Brittany are full of
scenes heartrending to the true lover
of animals. The author of "France of
To-Day" describes one form of thought
less cruelty which is regularly prac
ticed in the Pays de Cauz, even by peo
ple who are really kind and well mean
ing. She says: -
To my thinking, the Pays de Cans
is very depressing. Each homestead
stands amid lines of beach and oak,
formal as toy trees of a child's mimic
garden. The trees, regularly planted
and cut at intervals, form a parallelo
gram affording shelter to farmhouse
buildings and apple orchards. You
enter this somber inclosure to' light
upon an unwonted and heartrending
spectacle. - .
In the open space between house and
trees is a pen, perhaps two yards
square. This is the lifelong prison of
the trusty watchdog. Incredible as
it may appear, no one sees any cruelty
in thus keeping a dog cooped within
iron palings from January to Decem
ber. In fact, from its youth to old
age, never for a single moment is it al
lowed to escape. My kind host agreed
with me on the unnaturalnesa of such
treatment.
"A dog, in the eyes of these goo
folks," he said, "is a barking machine
othinsr else."
