An Easy Grade Found on the Proposed
Railroad From Here to Deschutes.
Last Friday and Saturday Engineer
Johnson in company with Messrs
Bennett.Seufert. Glenn and Whealdon
of the Commercial Club transportation
committee, made an inspection of the
nronosed route of the railroad from
The Dalles to the free bridge on Des
chutes, aad the opinion expressed by
Mr. Johnson is that the route is prac
ticable, and that a road can be built on
easy grades to that point. The
h! chest elevation reached- is about
600 feet above The Dalled, and that
can be attained with a grade of
little over one per cent going to Des-
ceutes and not to exceed one per cent
returning. This wouI3 put the route
on such easy grades as not to interfere
with drawing heavy loads. -
The line of road would be about 25
miles in lenght, and this Mr. Johnson
estimates can be built and equipped
at a cost not to exceed $10,000 a mae
The road if built will be a narrow
guage, and it is expected that sufficient
lopal capital can be interested in the
enterprise to put it in operation. The
transportation. - committee will soon
make a report to the club when it is
evDectad definite action will be taken
toward formulating plans and having

Mew' Oregon Town located,
In Eagle valley, Baker county, there
has been founded a new town-which
gives promise of becoming quite a

christened Richland, and is located
about the center of the valley, on the
Usher ranch. - It is uoon the line of
survey for the Seven Devils railway,
where tne track: will come down Pow

mercantile house Is established, and a
good blacksmith shop built in the new
town, and otber enterprises are pro
jected. Eagle valley produces fairly
monstrous crops, sucn as grow in this
climate, besides many things of a semi
tropical nature, hence it has abundant
resources to sustain a bustling town

Rules of contest in large advertisement
about first uml middle of the month, as
SCHOOL UOVKItNMENT.
Rules or no Rules Uiavasoed hy an
Old
Teacher.
Anion? teachers there anpeares to
be no end of disputing about rules of
school. Some say that "Do Right, is
enouch and all others only serve to
point out the wrong, to give it promi
nence and life in the minds of the
pupil. The ''do right" teachers perhaps
have never thought that they have no
rule, that it is simply an exhortation,
that is drummed in our ears from in
fancv to ase. so are the exhortations,
"Do good, feed the hungry, or clothe
the naked." A rule is something to
go by, that leads, if not from bad to
good, at least ends with the good; that,
whether it begins with the wrong or
not. is sure to end in the right.
The rule of subordination Is of this
kind. The pupil of necessity must
t,s.ko his nlace in the school as a
learner, and must ba amenable to the
teacher. In the school the teacher is
one factor.the pupil another. So soon
as the teacher allows a division of the
honors of his position with those of a
nunil. trouble beeins the teacher is
r ' "
out of his place so also is the pupil.

Then write for vonr first rule "sub
ordination," and immediately under It
"regularity." No one except he be
yery youthful, is entitled to the honor
nf havi nor his name enrolled upon the
school reeister unless he has dete
mined to attend. The reason for this
rule, for such it is in Oregon, is so
well understood that I deed not stop
to give reasons for its enforcement, or
to argve its importance as affecting the
very life of the school.
For the third rule I would write
"punctuality." This should be inter
prated to mean not only punctuality
in pectins' to school, but punctuality in
the. performance of every duty. Punct

of these ralated rules can be readily
seen by all who have eyer been en

effort and attention the work of tte
sohool is no work, and without work
there can be no school worthy the
name.
Two more rules should be added;
sixth, "moral action;" seventh, "moral
language." The law of our state and

with less than this. The. observance

At 4 P. M, yesterday afternoon the

grounds facing Union street, where

seated together with Revs. L. Cray,
Joseph JJeForest and W. C. Curtis.
Tbe exercises, were ppenea witft an
anthem bv the ohoir. after which, un
der the guidance of Rev, Mr, Gray.the
corner stone was sealed and placed in

St. Paul's Episcopal church, delivered
a pleasing address, appropriate to the
ou-iasion. In his remarks Mr, DeForest
referred to the long existence of the
Lutheran church, of the work: it bad
actomplished in reforming Europe and
of its steady growth throughout the
civilised world, placing it among the
foremost factors in Christianizing the
human race. Mr. DeForest also passed

(lomplished in securing a church build

devotion to their religious beliefs.
SslcntlUc" Pugilism.
Last night local admirers of the
"manly art" were given a treat. They
were privileged to witness three
friendly bouts between local and
foreign 'champions" on a scow anchored-in
the river Just above the Regu
lator dock. The first encounter was
between Bruce Anson and Charlie. Du
Pee, a three-round bout, in which
Anson bested the man. Next came a
three-round friendly box between Joe
Daflron and Dick Rogers. Daffron
was too much for Rogers, and would
have put him to sleep if it had been a
fight to a finish. The principal "at
traction" was an eight-round "scien
tific" contest for points between Dan
Godfree, the professional prizefighter,
and Jack McCauley, an Antelope
freighter. The "scrap" was spirited,
and the thugs were pretty evenly
matched, McCauley being able to hold
bis own against the professional, and
the contest was declared a draw by the
referee, H. Doyle, who claims th3
championship of the Pacific coast in
the bmtam class.

Referring to an item in last nights
daily with reference to the proposed
railroad to Deschutes river, permit me
to say that it behooves The Dalles to
look well to the future if she expects
to hold and increase the trade that
long has paid willing tribute to her
business men. "The survival of the
fittest" applies to cities as well as
humanity, and if a town is not aggres
sive, forceful and insistent in ranin-
taining and increasing the volume of
traffic that knocks for admission, be
assured that other communities are
anxious and willing to dominate and
control. The law of business is in
flexible, unyielding, and places thrive
and prosper, or degenerate am1 decay
as men who represent property and
capital foresee and provide against
comnetins- interests that seek to turn
the tide of traffic elsewhere. The rec
ord of the past, evidenced by the tak
ing away of the railroad shops tend to
the conclusion that the O. R. & N. Co
while perhaps not antagonistic, would
raise no hand to help us, in ass it
were necessary for additional facilities
of transportation. We must do it our
selves.
The building of the Columbia South-
ern from Biss9 to Wasco is a direct
blow aimed at our most vital parts
Like the old story of the camel and the
tent, it may not amount to much now
but in the end look out; and it will be
bitter medicine to take. If completed
to the interior, not only a threat but a
positive menace to the future prosper
itv of Dalles City is assured. We can
not and must not have the wool and
wheat that flow in, diverted elsewhere
If this comes to pass what occurs? It
is reason to assume that a forwarding
point will be cent?red where supplies
are sold. Where producers congregate
there the merchants erather. It is not
reason nor logic to assume the reverse
It i3 inevitable
The countrysurrounding The Dalles
spreads outward and upward like
tremendous funnel; at the appex of
tbat funnel lays the town, naturally
dominating and controlling. The ter
minus of river navigation of the Col
umbia (thanks to the magnificent
locks) we are entitled both by right of
her i tape, and by right ,of location to
be the commercial oity of Eastern
Oregon, ' Can the business men of
this community afford to sit idly by
and watoh the process of being effect
ually shelved as a jobbing and forward
in? point. We have retained our trade
simply because it was a master of dol
lars and cents, which induced the
producer to come here; but the friend
ship which he professes will soon van.
ish in thin air if be can obtain better
rates elsewhere and shorten the long
haul by wagon.
The Columbia Southern HI hold the
whio and oontrol the trade of a large
portion of the country if some draatio
measures are not immediately adopted .
One of the schemes suggested as
outlined la the Mountaineer is prac
tical. Build a railroad to the Deschutes
river and the problem is solved. Com
petition is silenced.
It is estimated that 2.t miles of rav
can he builo from The Dalles to Ratt
snake grade for $25,000; this wljlgrark-,
equip und complete a narrow guage
steam line. Citizens should act as a
unit in this matter, and contribute not
as a'donatlon, but as an Investment to
preserve the earning Integrity of their
town. -
If by some means the channel of the
Columbia river should diverge and
commense to cut away its batjks, and
the faot became evident that in the
course of, say three years, water would
occupy Second street, and business
men know that the expenditure of
$130,000 would ou.'chase material and
labor and effectually bar out the in
truding element; do you think for a
moment there would bo any hesitancy?
Raise meney, why it would - be forth-
foming in 24 hours. It seems .to the
writer that the need of doing some
thing to oheck-nate propositions which
threaten our tributary territory is
equally urgent. Our earning capacity
la attacked, and while property itself
may remain intact, the diversion of
business to other source will surely
lower values and while the "grass may
not grow in our streets,"' still instead
of advancing we are retrograding.
The Commercial Club has done good
work thus far, and should . be assisted
in furthering the project.
Tt has been well said, that to argue
with men who have renounced the
use and authority of reason is like
administering medicine to the dead.
And to such this is not addressed. It
is tbe men who believe in the future
of The Dalles, who have their homes
and business and capital invested here
who are loyal to the town and agres
sive in furtherance of its welfare.
They are the ones who will discern
what is best to be done. II.
Albany's Enterprise
Travelers who pass through Albany
say tbe people of that city show more
enterprise in the way of advertising
the resources of the surrounding coun
try than any oity in the Northwest.
At the S. P. depot in tbat city are
booths where the grain and fruit pro
ducts of Linn and Benton counties are
exhibited, and where the fruits are free
to all travelers. The people too are
ever anxious to show." strangers over
the city, exhibit its attractions and ex
plain its resources. The Dalles might
well pattern after Albany ir, this re
spect, and establish booths at the
depot and steamboat office, where tbe
products of the country could be shown
travelers.
. Got What Be Oeseired.
Yesterday some fishermen at Eighteen-Mile
Island on '..he river, just op
posite Mosier, were preparing to tar
some rope to be used in their fishing
tackel, and had left their work for a
time, when a lad about 17 year of age
came along in a boat, and concluded
to appropriate a can of tar the fisher
men had left on tbe bank of the island.
He put the can into his boat and was
just dlaappea-lng around a bend when
the fishermen returned. Tbey fooo
discovered their loss and gave chase.
When tbey overhauled the young cul
prit they f jund their tar,and proceeded
to give tbe lad a coat of ir. They
poured the stuff all over him, and
turned him loose to meditate over his
misdeeds. '
