The Dalles does not desire boom,

active one day and the next to be in

When The Dalles grows we desire,it
to be permanent, and for that reason
have urged our citizens to take ad-
vantage of the natural facilities fer
trade and manufacturing industries
which are offered on. every hand.
This city should have 10000 popu-
lation in the next five years if we prop
erly realize our situation to the great
Inland Empire, and to do this we must
work earnestly and constantly and
not be afraid to invest the capital ac-
cumulated in factors for our develop
ment. If our own citizens have not
confidence enough to build railroads,
open the river, and inaugurate facto-
ries, how can we expect absolute
strangers to help us. We do not de-
sire any San Diego ':boom"; we want
permanent growth and prosperity.

The daily paper can only point the
way to success. 1t cannot inaugurate
enterprise of itself; but can only stim-
ulate the community to true realiza-
tion of its advantages and opportuni
tiys. We have done this, and if The
Dalles does not do this; the TN. is
not to blame, only the community is
too obtuse to understand or profit by

THE LANE COUNTY FLOOD.

EUGENE, Feb. 11.-Late reports fiom
the western part of the county are to the
effect that the homes of many of the set
tiers along the Siuslaw and Wild Cat
rivers were swept away during the late
flood. The county bridge on Lake Creek
went down and young man named
Turner was drowDed. The aggregate loss
to the county in bridges swept away will
reach over $4,000.

self and older son were thrown into the
river, where they caught IN some drift,
and after floating all night, were IN the
morning rescued seven miles below, in an
almost dying condition.
A large barn and stable situated on
East Ninth street, IN this city, were
burned last night. One horse, about
seventy tons of baled hay,a buggy and
other valuables were destroyed; loss,
about $4,000, partially insured. The fire
is supposed to have been of lncendIary
origin.

A Relic of the War.

A curious and interesting msmento of
the civil war is n)w owned by Mrs.
Harriet Hubbard Aver. 1t is copy of
the colored lithograph known as the
Confederate Note Memorial, which was
issued by the printing firm of Keatings s.
Ball, of Columbia, South Carolina. soon
after the close of the war.
The United States government refused
to let the foreman of the printing Office,
who designed the memorial, place it on
market, and only few proofs which had
been struck off are now in existence.
The main feature of the picture is the
series of Confederate bank notes which
are reproduced and the memory OF
which it is designated to perpetuate.
The intervening spaces are filled up with
stirring battle scenes both on land and sea.
In the center is design re,resenting the
fate of the Lost Cause" From q slant

little mound by the side of vast expanse

the word "Unknown." In the distant

On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread;
While glory guards with solemn round
The biyouac of tht dead.

At the head of the picture, keystone
like, is an exact reproduction of the SIC
Confederate bill, and in a group at the
bottom are the bills Of the denomination
Of $50, $50 and $500 respectively. In.
scrlbed above the central design are these
lines:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And Daught in the waters below it,
As the pledge of a nation that passed away
Keep it. dear friend. and show 1t.
Show it to those who will lead an ear
TO tale this trifle will t IL
OF liberty born of patriots dream,
OF o storm Graded nation that fell
To- poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much Of a stranger to borrow,
We issned to. day our promise to pay,
And hoped to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled on, and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was 80 scarce that the treasury Quaked
ia dollar dropped in the till.
But the faith that in US was strongest indeed,
Though our poverty well We discovered:
And this little check represents the pay
:. That our suffering veterans earned.
They knew is had hardly value in gold,
Yes as gold our soldiers received it.
1t gaZed in our e, es with a promise to pay,
And every true soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little Of price or pay.
Or Of bills that were overdue

Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep it, it tells all our history over
FrCm the birth OF our dream till its last,
Modest and born OF the Angel Hope,
Like our hope of success, it passed"
As the firm of Keatings Sc Ball were
the printers of all Confederate notes and
bonds, it was certainly fit and just that
such memorial should be issued from
their office. Very few southerners. how
ever, have ever seen it, and there are few
now who ever know of its existence. All
the copies, found at the time of Its issue
we're destroyed. The lithograph is 90 by
"a inches, nicely brought out in detail,
and against the modest frame OF mottled
ash, the effect is impressive.

that he had forgotten his gun.
a firstclass clipping appeared in the
JOURNAL last week concerning the
boom at Sang Run. 1t was credited
on ''copy" to the Homecoming Star, but
the very intelligent compositor, whose
eye is erratic, honored the JOURNAL
instead of the Star by overlooking the
written fact that it was really bril-
liant coruscation and not II steady
dazzle.
"EllengOwan," noticing the com
ment of the Homecoming Star on his
poem of last week, writes the JOURNAL
repeating the statement that his eff
fusion was prepared for Homecoming

not want anyone IN LOnacOning to know
him Just yet as IAN acolyte of the

JOURNAL the compliment of thinking
that his first effort would appear
therein in better shape than any other
paper in the county," He writes also
thst he is mot fanatic on tariff or
any other subject" But, no matter,
the JOURNAL will be pleased to en-
courage his genius by publishing future
contributions from his pen.

The Same Old Cloak.

The Knights of Labor of District
No. II are engaged in eliminating the
defects of the Australian ballot system,
so that the next Legislature can have
all the rooms in the State made larger.
reduce the number of officials and
compel the ballot-clerks to squint at
the voters with more critical severity.
All the Legislature will have to do,
therefore, will be to have proofsheet
of the present law made and correct it
after Schonfarber has marked all the
mistakes.
There are several other erroneous
statutes that will have to undergo the
same ordeal-all very respectable,
moral and chaste laws, too.
Then, having gained so much ec2at in
making specialties of self-evidently
vl1tuous efforts at reform, they will
turn and shed the lustre of their APP
parent chastity upon the eight-hour
fad, the ventilation law ct id omne
genus.
Thus, by taking an effusive interest
in legitimate measures the ingenious
gentlemen lobbyists of the Noble
Order can hope to bamboozle the law
makers into adopting the bastard
progeny of multiple fatherhood in
England, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The garniture of responsibility is to
mantle the insidious approaches of
illegitimacy, and the voice of Jacob
to belle the hand of Esau. 1t is the
same old confidence game with the
Noble Order as the sleek, the Legisla-
ture as the deck and the miner as the
yictim
