possible, put boats on the river which
would solve for all time the freight
problem to seaboard. For $4,000
two boats could be built, and the
river practically opened to the CON-
merce of the northwest. Will the
business men of The Dalles allow
themselves to be throttled by the rail-
road monopoly without making an
effort to relieve themselves from the
oppression, or will they rise in their
might, put boats on the river, and
have the matter of transportation di-
rectly under their control?

A. this time, when schools and COL
leges are sending their graduates upon
the community, it is the duty of all
good citizens to pause and reflect.
Those who have been matriculated
have gone through the necessary
course of study, and may have been
graduated with honors; but does this
signify that they are especially adapt
ed for the conflict of everyday life2
No, not by any means. He who
may be perfectly conversant with the
intricate roots OF Greek verbs may not
have the least intelligence or insorma-
tion about everyday business affairs.
The Greeks were literary people,
with developed knowledge OF art
and philosophy; but they we're pigmies
as regards government and free insti-
tutions. They could learn the C
of political science from the most
despotic country of Europe. They
sacrificed everything for culture, aut
nothing for freedom.

A movement is on foot to put this in

with the plan adopted, SO that this

brought to this city by this plan for
the amount of the bonds-SlOO,O 900;
but experienced engineers say it will
cost from s3OO,000 to $500, 900, ana
this is far beyond the means at COM

ated, should give it fair and honest

Baker City is trying to boom itself
by reason of its mines; but it has little
of any other resources. AS a conse-
quence of this excitement that city is
receiving an influx of inhabitants, and
corner lots are selling at high price.
There are other towns In Eastern Ore
gon which have equal mineral facilities
and better agricultural resources, in
which there have been nothing ap-
preaching "boom," but there has
been steady growth and an increase
in wealth and population. The town
that grows by development Of its re-
sources is far more substantial than
the one that attempts to build itself
up by an unnatural process of infa-
tion. If any city has resources there
is no reason for the boom to be in

HIGH SCHOOL INSTRUCTION.

In general way it may be said,
says the Chicago Inter- Ocean, that this
week will see the old academic year
out. The school year at many OF the
colleges ended last week, and the pub
lie schools will close this week. 1t is
time for reflection no less than recre-
alton. The pupils themselves, from
the kindergarten to the university,
may give their time to enjoyment and
the laying in of fresh stock of physi-
cal energy, but the parents and teach
ers would do we'll to bestow thought
upon the problems of education. One
of the more important of these is the
general policy of our high schools
There are two radically different ideas
on the subject, one tending toward
higher standard, the other lower.
There are strong arguments for both,
but by far the strongest are those in
favor of higher standard.
1t is an absolutely startling fact that
from 80 to e5 per cent of the pupils in
the high schools of Chicago are girls,
or, rather, that only Is or 20 per cent
are boys. There are none too many
girls, but by far too few boys. The
lad who is preparing for profession is
diverted to a school preparatory to
college, and later to some college.
The high school should be good place
for preparatory study. The course of
study suited to collegiate prepara-
tion is we'll adapted to fit the mind
for general graphing with the realities
of life. Not that every high school
scholar should take course of Greek
and Latin, but every one should have
that privilege.
The high schools afford the boy,
looking forward to profession or to
business calling. as good a chance or
opportunity as the girl preparing her
self for teaching or other professional
work. That more boys do not take
advantage OF the opportunity is due in
part to the eagerness of parents to
push their boys into the practical
walks of business life, and in part to
the circumstances that force the ma
jority of Toys into work as bread-win-
ners for the family. While girls are
encouraged to complete the high school
course, boys are not. The most of
them are encouraged to believe that
they can not give time to the high
school, and most of them live to regret
the decision that takes them from the
high school. There should oe more
boys in the high schools, and the
schools should be so conducted as to
fit them for professional or business
life

Our leading citizens have come to
the conclusion that something must be
done to help our city, and whatever is
done must be done by our citizens.
As an intelligent business man said
to-day, the time has arrived in the
history of The Dalles when she will
either rise or fall If enterprise is
displayed the city will more than
double her population and business in
the next two years; if not, She will not
retain one-half the business or popula-
tion she now has. 1t is well to look
facts squarely in the face; because the
evil becomes better known, and the
remedy can be easier applied.

With the immense amount of pro.
ducsions-wheat, wool, fruit and veg
etables-shipped FROM this city every
season there is every reason to believe
that woolen factory and other manu-
featuring industries could be operated
successfully in The Dalles. 1t is suicidal
while we handle such large lot of the
raw material to send money away
every year for the manufactured arti-
Gle. We pay thousands of dollars
every year for fabrics from Browns
vile and Oregon City in this state,
when these could be manufactured
here, and the money saved to
the community. Again, all the canned
fruits sold in this city are put up in
Portland or California, and this por-
ton of Oregon produces as fine
peaches, prunes, grapes, etc, as are
grown anywhere. Any one who is
acquainted with these facts will come
to the conclusion that the city will
never gro" and prosper while this
constant drain is kept up. A woclen
mill would fully bring one hundred
consumers to the city s population, and
many of these would have families,
who would farther increase busi-
ness and create demand for land
and thereby enhance the value
of property. The time has come
when we must help ourselves, and
shake off the lethargy which has i'm
peded our progress for a long number
of years.

1t is reported that a lodge OF
anarchists has been formed In Bay
City, Mich, for the purpose of secur-
ing the release of those imprisoned at
Joliet, ILL.,, for the Haymarket mur-
ders. In such an emergency free
institutions are a farce, and every
American citizen, who believes in
the permanency of the government,
will hope that such meetings are dealt
with after the Russian method,
and stamped out in their infancy.
Freedom is glorious theme; but
when it is beloved forth by an
archists, dynamiters and other rev
it has the same signi-
ficance as the cry of fire to a
person In the fifth story of tenement
building. The United States is free
governmental free in many in
and for the protection of life
and property there is an absolute
necessity of restrictive powers being
lsed.

but for the safety and comfort of the
people it would have been much better
if these packages had been broken
and the contents spilled before arriv-
ing here.
The amount of wool handled every
season emphasizes the necessity of
a woolen factory in The Dalles.
We believe if the matter was once
started great many of our sheep men
would subscribe literally. The project
is we'll worth the earnest attention Of
our business men.

"Moonshine" frequently inspires the

The prison congress is in session in
Russia, with delegates present from

THIS is from the Inter- Ocean and to
the point: "When the late leader of
the lost cause. Jefferson Davis, was
captured, as be was about to climb a
fence, his better half warnirgly cried
to the soldiers of the capturing party:
Don't irritate the president. He
might hurt somebody This reminds
one Of the present saw-buca attitude
of the Toronto Empire with reference
to the Behring Sea fishery question.
The Empire grandiloquently remarks:
Great Britain has always looked upon
the United States as spoiled child of
its own, and has, therefore, treated
that country with degree of indul-
gence which would not have been
thought of in dealing with any other
people. Concessions have been made
10 it again and again, notably in de-
termining the boundary between that
country and Canada, which ought not
to have been granted"

Illinois and Wisconsin are being

Illinois and Wisconsin are being
agitated over compulsory educational
bill, and the principal opposition comes
from the Catholic and Lutheran
churches, who do not desire any inter-
ference with their parochial schools.
We have never been an advo-
cate of compulsory education, and
have always viewed it in the
same light as legislative prohi-
bition Or morality. At the same
time we can see no reason for the gov
ernment to lend the least aid to denom-
national schools, as these do not
answer she purpose of making intelli-
gent citizens of the republic. Parochial
schools should be supported by com
municants, and not by the people; but
public schools, in which the English
branches are taught, should be one of
the institutions of free government,
open alike to rich and poor.

Almost every city is complaining
about the census enumerators, and
preparations are being made to have
the census of several cities taken by
the local authorities after the govern
ment gets through with its work. It is
pity that the enumerators could not
add several thousand to each of the
large cities in the United States.

The dreaded cholera is feared this
year, and as preventive the strictest
sanitary measures should be adopted.
Oar cities should be cleansed of all
filth, and nothing of an impure nature
should be allowed to vitiate the at.
mosphere which every one breathes.
A little precaution as to sewerage of
cities may save thousands of lives If
the terrible disease visits this country.

The cruelty of our system of juris
prudence is fully illustrated in the
actions of contempt of court. A
judge may imprison and fine an attor-
ney in the most arbitrary manner, and
there is no redress. This is barbar-
Gus, and the power of our judicial
officers should be curtalled in this
regard. If America is free, judges
should not follow the old precedents
of monarchical England.

TINE FOR ACTION.

During the past few days one hun
dred and fifty men have been discharged
from the shops, leaving only thirty at
work, and 1t is understood this number
will not he increased, as it is the in
tention of the company to concentrate
the mechanical force and apparatus at
Albina, where nearly all the repairing
and new work will be done. The COM
pany has 10 goodwill toward The
Dalles, and the citizens cannot expect
the least favor from the directors. 1t
is time our business men looked these
facts square in the face, and came to
some conclusion what to do in the
emergency. A transportation COM
pany was incorporated some weeks
ago, and it is time something was done
to carry out the object for which the
corporation was formed. This le-
comes very imperative since the action
of the railroad company leaves the
matter beyond question that the future
object is to build up Portland and its
surroundings, and not The Dalles or
any other interior point. Boats should
be built as soon as possible, and in less
than six months fleet of steamers, not
owned by the o. R. & N. Co., should
be making daily trips between this city
and the Upper Cascades, loaded with
the produce of this region. If this is
done, in little while The Dalles, in
stead of being suppliant for the
favors of the railroad monopoly, would
have the company on its knees earn
estly desiring some compromise with
our business men. There are enough
merchandise, wool and wheat to keep a
boat busy, not taking in to consideration
the way freights from the little towns
on the river. Besides being a great
factor in our development, in showing
our independence of the railroad, this
would save to the producer one-half
tho price of shipment. There is an
absolute necessity for the Inauguration
of an enterprise of this kind; for,
without it. this CITY has not realized
its dullest times, and, with it, The
Dalles, in less than five years, will
have double its present population, and
fully five times the wealth it now
possesses. There is no use delaying
this matter any longer, and the pres
ent week should see our business men
inaugurating project which would
practically open the river in short
time,
