The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1889-11-30

The policy Of the dominant white
race in the south towards the negroes
has become obnoxious to the honest
men of the Democratic party, and
Gov. Hill, of New York, a probable
candidate for president on the Bour-
bon ticket, gave a singing rebuke to
his partisans for their cruel conduct
towards this dependent people. The
leading papers OF the party in the
south have also spoken in condemna-
tory language of the oppressive and
unfair treatment Of the colored people.
Public opinion is being aroused to the
importance of free ballot and equal
protection to all citizens of whatever
race or color, and southern Democrats
cannot muzzle the dough-faces of the
north to obey their behests in this re-
gard. The colored man must have
equal rights in the exercise of the
elective franchise with the white, or
else the Democracy at the ballot box
will experience a series of defeats.
The party understand this, and for
this reason are changing their former
position on the question.

The Democratic press are exceed
ingly jubilant over the success of the
dislntegrating factors of the Republi
can party in Ohio and Iowa, and claim
the elections indicate desire of the
people for a return of the Democratic
administration in national affairs. For
nearly twelve years that party had
possession of the lower house of con.
gress and for four of the executive
chair, ard if any one can tell any good
they did for the nation we would will
ingly make note of the fact. The
complete control of affairs during one
presidential term appeared to have SO
disgusted the American people that,
at the next opportunity, they not
only defeated the presidential candi-
date, but changed the political COM
plexion of the lower house. The
Democratic party will have to be born
again before it can hope for success,
and Mr.. Mills or Mr.. Carlisle must
not be god-fathers to the child.

A Pendleton exchange classes The
Dalles as suburb" of Portland.
This idea is both original and unique
Whatever there is of Eastern Oregon
has been made by this city. 1t has
advertised the resources of the region,
advocated an open river, and has been
attacked by Portland on this account.
When The Dalles becomes suburb of
Portland, strange things will happen,
unconceived at present. But the fact
is, that this point and the metropolis
are wide apart and there is Lot an
improvement in which we are inter
ested but Eastern Oregon would be
greatly benefited thereby.

About thirty live years ago little Doy
was given quarter of dollar for spend

street, very happy, he met with an Older
boy and showed him the money, say ing
as he did so: ''See what my good papa
gave me to spend" The older boy
knocked it out of the little fellows hand
snatched it up, and ran away with it,
The little boy was almost heart broken,
but when he went home crying and told
about it, his mother gave him another
quarter. This moilltied HIM hut he
never forgave that older boy. The war
came on aud the older boy was given q
commission in the army, while the little
one, who was too young to en- .ist, remain-
ed at home. After the war the younger
boy became clerk in the department.
Within the past few years the older boy,
who had become a lawyer and an orator,
announced himself as candidate for the
United States senate, and he had large
following. II looked as though he might
be elected. But one morning the news
papers, in many portions of the country
and especially those of his own state.
published statement to the effect that
the candidate had been dismissed from
the army for cowardice and other cues
conduct. The lawyer denied the
charge, and extracts from the records of
the war department we're published,
showing that the charge was true. He
was not elected. After his defeat was

noblest specimens of Indian manhood and
savagery that ever scalped an enemy or

sit was Eagan, it will be remembered,
who, IN the war of '78, led his band OF
Bannocks to the hill north of Pendleton
and scared some of Its residents into hgs-

the town had it not been for the timely
arrival of General Miles.
HE was a powerful foe, and General
Howard determined upon his capture.
The story Of his betrayal by I'm pine

one. That Indian, representing himself
as friend and ally, threw the willy
chieftain off his guard. and delivered him

killed by va ten-e-ou-itz, whose lodge

TT the OREGON delegation at Wash

If the Oregon delegation at Wash
ington in their recommendations for
federal positions fail to recognize
Eastern Oregon" they will be COM
hitting serious blunder. And when
we say eastern Oregon" we don't
mean "The Dalles," which Is only a
suburb of Portland. This section of
the state will give 1000 Republican
majority next June if it is properly
treated by the Observation-Disclosures
dleton Tribune.
There is no city in Oregon-eastern
or western-that has been so COM
pletely ignored by Portland as The
Dalles. Insignificant points, with not
half the population or the natural re
sources, are mentioned daily in the
Oregonian, while the gateway of the
great Inland Empire is passed in sig
niGcant silence. During the past sea-
son Mr.. Max Vogt, Of this city, has
built and almost completed the largest
opera house and hall in the state, yet
the great paper, which pretends to be
the exponent of the advancement ol
the northwest, has never mentioned
the fact. Before the Tribune was
even conceived, the MoUNTAINEER was
doing valiant work for the Inland EN-
pire, and advocated an open river from
Kettle Falls to the sea before it knew
Oregon existed or there was such a
river as the Columbia.

TATE SPRINGS, TENN, July 4, 1888.
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ca:
During the spring of 1871, while working
in the field at my home in Morgan county,
Ca, pulled of my shoes to give my feet
rest. Unfortunately, walked into clump
of poison oak, and in few days my feet
were in terrible condition, and ! could not
put on shoe because of the soreness and
swelling. l was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at first,
and every succeeding spring for FIVE years
brought back the same condition of TIE dis
ease, only each time it became more dis
tressing, because l began to think it was
lifetime trouble. Finally, I was induced to
try Swift's Specific. took six bottles, and
to-day am entirely well. My improvement
was gradual from the first, and no evidence
of the disease remains. I shall take pleas
ure in testifying as to its curative proper
ties. 1t is the greatest blood purifier in ex-
istence. Yours truly, ]. L. MORGAN.

\ CHANCE FOR AN EXPLORER.
A section Of Washington VIII feh Has
Never Been Visited by a white
Man.
Seattle Press.

Washington has her great unknown
land like tie interior of Africa. The
country shut in by the Olympic noun
tains, which includes an area of about
$500 square miles, has never, to the POSI-
tive knowledge of old residents of the ter
ritory, been trodden by the foot of man,
white or Indian. These mountains rise
from the level country, within 10 or Is
miles from the straits of San Juan de
Fuce in the north, the Pacific ocean in
the west, Hoods canal in the east and
the basin of the Quinalt lake in the south,
and rising to hight of 5000 o. 5000 feet,
shut in vast unexplored area.
The Indians have never penetrated it,
for their traditions say that it is in
habited by very fierce tribe, which
none of the coast tribes dared molest.
Though it Is improbable that such tribe
could have existed In this mountain coun.
try without their presence becoming
known to the white men, no man has ever
ascertained that it did not exist. White
men, too, have only vague accounts of
any man having ever passed through
this country, for investigation of ali the
claims of travellers has invariably proved
that they have only traYersed its outer
edges.
The most generally accepted theory In
regard to this country is that it consists
of great valleys stretching from the in
ward slopes of the mountains to great
central basin. This theory is supported
by the fact that. although the country
around has abundant rain and clouds
constantly hang over the mountain tops,
all the streams flowing toward the four
points of the compass are insignificant,
and rise only on the outward slopes OF
the range, none appearing to drain the
great area shut in by the mountains.
This fact appears to support the theory
that the streams flowing from the inner
slopes of the mountains feed great in
terror lake. But what drains this lake!
1t must have an outlet somewhere, and
as all the streams pouring from the noun
tsins rise on their outward slopes, it must
have subteIranean outlet into the ocean,
the straits or tue sound. There are
great discoveries in store for some of
Washington's explorers.
A gentleman named Drew, now re rsid-
ing at Olympia. states that he has elm bed
to the summit of the eastern range from
Hoods canal, and looking down could
see great valleys stretc' ing toward the
west. A party of railroad prospcctors
claim to have penetrated the interior, but
could give no account of it, and appear
only to have sklrted the outer slopes, 10
or Is miles from Hoods canal. A party
of United States soldiers is said to have
traversed the country from Port Town
send, but no data are obtainable as to
what they saw.
Numerous attempts have been made to
organize exploring parties, but they have
invariably fallen through, the courage of
the projectors oozing out at the last mo
ment. There Is fine opportunity for
some of the hardy citizens of the Sound |
to acquire fame by unveillng the mystery
which wraps the land encircled by the |
range.

There is a pertinent question for
free-traders to answer, and that Is, if
protection is such a diabolical policy
why do so many subjects of free-trade
Great Britain annually seek the
shores of protected America? Again,
If free trade is so beneficial, why does
every English colony adopt the policy
of protection, in opposition to that
prevalent in the mother country7
When our friends can fully and salts
factorlly answer these questions, it
will be time to advocate a change in
the economic policy of the United
States.

UNSURVEYED LANDS.
Surveyor General OF Oregon Explaiu
How They May be Opened up.

The following is an extract from let
ter of the Surveyor-General to one of his
correspondents, making inquiries as to
the mode of procedure in asking for a
survey of public lands:
"The appropriation made by congress
for public surveys for the current fiscal
year (Which commenced on September l.
was 100000. This under the law and
regulations, must be expended for town
ships occupied, IN whole or part, by act
ual settlers with improvements; and the
surveyors shall be confined to lands ad-
apted to agriculture and lines of reselva-
tiuns.'
"In order to secure sureys, the depart
ment requirement is that application
thereto should be addressed to this office.
"The settlers living upon the unsur-
veyed lands in the vicinity should unite
in a petition to survey. The petition
should be accompanied by statement
showing the number of bona fide settlers,
the character of the unsurveyed lands,
the nature and value of the improve.
ments and the area under cultivation
stating, ii possible. the township, The
approximate general course OF such valley,
or valleys should also be noted.
For several years past it has been the
policy of the GeDernl Land office to pro-
hibit the survey of her forest or heavily
timbered lands; but 1t may be Necessary
under the requirements of the Appropri.
ate Act Second Session Act, Fiftleth
congress, chapter All, page 959) to make
some modification of this restriction.
There are in some localities fine agricul-
tural lands which although heavily tim
bered, or occupied in part by tona-6de
settlers, who at great loss and expense
have made for themselves permanent
homes to which they are anxious to OBJ
tain title. Whenever such cases arise,
all the facts as to the character of the
lands, and the kinds and quality of the
timber, in addition to the information as
to the number of settlers and the char
acters of their improvements, should be
fully presented tor the consideration of
this office and of the general land office.
The Hon. Commissioner will allow the
awarding of contracts for the survey of
timber lands when their value for agri.
cultural purposes Is we'll established. and
satisfactory proof is given of their occu-
patton by bona-fin settlers who have
made permanent improvements.
"Upon receipt of the petition I will
forward the same to the general land
Office with an estimate of the cost of the
desired surveys and such recommends
tions as this Office may deem proper.
In the event of the survey being
ordered by the Hon. Commissioner, the
expense thereof will be paid by the gov
armont
