The Wasco Observer, referring to an ar
ticle in the paper urging the Importance
OF a railroad from this city to Grants
which would not only serve as portage
but would practically control the traffic
OF Sherman county, says:
We are glad to copy the foregoing
words of good cheer from the CHRoN-
ICLE and heartily endorse the ideas put
forth by the writer. The farmers and
business men of Sherman county will
hail with delight the building of port
age road that will tap this section. : All
will anxiously await the result of sur
vey and should the road become an ac-
complished fact we confidently predict
that it will be financial success.

Advertising is the legitimate coadjutor
of any legitimate business. No one occu-

by any code of common, sense. : When
properly used and developed to its capac-
ity for good tits as honorable and as dig
nified in its application to the professions
as it is to the merchant, manufacturer
publisher, playwright. the artist or the
pulpit. Like anything else, it can be put
to wrong ends; but that should not dis

sion have invoked its aid does not limit
it's usefulness when put to good ends
The, professional man must, in the be-
ginning of his practice, bend his energies
to building up a large circle of acquaint-

and following the usual habits of all pro-
fessienal men, he is obscure for the FIRST
ten years of his practice. !. After that
time, if fortune ,fayors. him, he rises
with more or less rapidity to position

Saved a Baby from Death.

During small tenement house fire on
the east side there was thrilling Incl
dent that was not chronicled at the time.
1t occurred at rear window in the sec
ond story. The flames had been extin-
guished with trifing damage, but the
house was full of smoke.
Suddenly woman tottered to the open
window. In her arms she held bundle.
tightly ciasped to her bosom. 1t was in
white wrappings. Quickly the crowd of
people IN the yard below saw the woman
Great clouds of smoke whirled about her
head In suffocating volumes, and the
crowd called upon her to jump.
She hesitated, but extended the bundle
at arms length, from which at that mo-
ment there came faint cry. It was q
baby 3 voice,
Save my childr' implored the woman.
Instantly a blanket was procured and
strong men held its corners.
''Drop,it! they shouted. -
With her face averted the agonized
and imperilled mothor let the baby fall
Down the little one ffuttered like white
winged, wounded bird, with the despair,
ing cry of Mamma" upon its lips.
Lightly it struck the blanket, and a mo-
ment later. it was taken, up safe and
sound, but sobbing, by q motherly look
ing woman in the throng.
1t required but few minutes to raise
a ladder and rescue the self sacrificing
mother from her perilous position and
restore her dimpled darling to her arms.
This touching rescue was loudly
-cheered by the sympathetic spectators.

One night last week soldier and a
gambler had some trouble in low dive
in the city of Walla Walla, when the
gambler drew, a pistol and shot the
soldier infiicting a fatal wound. The
gambler was promptly arrested. The
next night a number ofsoldiers broke in
to the Jail and taking out the prisoner
filled him with bullets. No attempt had
been made to remove the gambler or
prevent prompt trial or adequate pun
lshment, nor, it is alleged, was there the
slightest sentiment in the gambler
favor among the respectable portion OF
the community nor the semblance of an
attempt to screen the crime. The
gambler was simply detained to await
the result of the soldiers injury. Under
the circumstances the lynching was
wholly unjustifable and ought to be
severely punished.

Do not Count the Cost.
Walla Walla Union.

1t is waste of time to inquire into the
recent tragedies in Walla Walla, their
effect on the future is of more concern.
To estimate that effect it is proper to
look coldly upon the facts..
Two men met in low saloon. at late
hour of the night, and entered into an
argument, which became so heated that
one of them shot the other, inflicting a
mortal wound. The shooter was in
stantly arrested and locked in jail.
Two nights afterwards an attempt was
made by the comrades of the wounded
man to take the shooter from the officers
and infiict summary punishment on
him. The next night, il being the third
night after the shooting, his comrades
made a concerted, well-planned raid on
the county Jail, which was so successful
that they forced an entrance into that
institution, and, taking from it the man
who shot his comrade, they riddled his
body with bullets.
Stated in the worst possible light, the
first shooting was murder in the heat of
passion.
Stated in the mildest form, the sec
ond shooting was cold blooded murder,
without one redeeming feature, of a de-
fenseless prisoner by an armed body of
men perpetrated deliberately, in accord
ance with plan carefully elaborated in
all it's details.
The Union has no words of defense for
the gambler, who shot while inflamed by
passion and liquor. The criminal
records of Walla Walla bear evidence
that he would have been awarded fair
and impartial trial and been properly
punished.
Nor is it within the power of the Union
to frame sentences expressive of its con-
demnation of the deliberate murder by
the mob. Had the crime been committed
by the old time vigilante organization, it
would not have been so dastardly a
character, because it would have been
committed by citizens of the county tax
ing the law into their own hands, after
the courts had failed to perform their
duty, and not by men paid by the public
to uphold the laws of the land who pre-
judged the action of the courts.
When such men so far forget their
sworn duty as to conspire and combine,
not to simply DEFY the law, but to over
power its officers, and break down the
doors of the public prison, drag out of
his cell a covering murderer and shoot
him to death, it is time to uphold the
majesty of the law by every power that
can be invoked; time for all good citizens
to unite in the demand that every re-
source known to the civil and military
shall be put forth to ferret
out the ring leaders of the mob and
bring them to merited punishment. He
who asks less because it will cost money
to prosecute the investigations and try
and punish the ring leaders is unworthy
the name of American citizen. Let the
cost equal the national debt and it will
not he too great price to pay for main
tanning the majesty of the law and pun
ishing those who override it.
Had the north stopped to count the
cost when the confederate cannon opened
fire on Sumpter what would American
been worth today?

The Encanlpment.
Fossil Journal.

The encampment of the Third regi-
ment, o. N. 6. takes place in July, at
The Dalles. The various companies in
Gillian county will please note that
this leaves only little over two months
in which to prepare for camp We
would like our local company to make a
respectable showing on that occasion,
and to do SO they must drill without
ceasing from now on. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that all the members can turn
out every evening, but nothing should
be allowed to prevent a full muster at
least once week.
The Dalles is not an ideal place for. an
encampment, but it has the advantage
OF being near, and we trust that company
+ will be represented in full strength,
or as near thereto as possible.

! A.DslIease Question.

~ During lull In the court proeeedings
at Auburn the other day, Sheriff Lamb
propounded legal question based ON an
actual occurrence recently in East Liv-
ermore. Two neighbors in that, town
own rams. One of the rams jumped
over the fence into the field of the neigh
bor and while there injured one of the
cattle which was grazing in the field.
The neighbor caught the ram and tied
him in the barn where his own ram was
Hed As he happened to give him toe
much slack rope thesram, got at the more
securely tied ram belonging to the man
who had tied him and killed him., After
having performed this feat he managed,
through the extra amount of rape, to get
30 entangled as to get hanged by the neck
until he was dead. Thelegal question
involved was as toawho should pay for
the ram-the neighbor who, by letting
his ram loose, caused all the trouble, or
the neighbor who, by tying him in the
barn SO carelessly, caused the death of
both animals.-Bangor News.

Il NEW APPLICATION OF CIVIL
SERVICE PRINCIPLES.

The secretary of the navy has determ-
lned on applying plan of civil service
reform in the appointment of foremen
and master mechanics in the various
navy yards under his control that will
meet with the approval of every man
who is not politician merely for what
there is in it. He has made beginning
with the yard at New York and ordered
that after June first all positions of fore
men and master mechanics shall be de-
clared vacant. A board of examiners
has been appointed to test the practical
qualifications of candidates for the vacant
positions, enquire into their antecedent
reputation, character and habits and
certify to the secretary who are best
fitted to fill the vacancies. Other yards
will be dealt with in similar manner
in the near future. This is surely step
in the right direction. The doctrine
that "to the victor belongs the spoils'' is
the curse of American politics. When
there is change of administration the
first half of a presidents term is en-
ployed turning the rascals out'' and
putting d new SET OF raScalS In. The
question of fitness, of character, of
capacity, is secondary to that of political
affiliations. In this respect there is
scarcely any preceptible difference. be-
tween the two great parties. With
either in power the janitor as well as the
postmaster must be of the same political
strip. The result is a hungry horde of
office seekers who take interest in poll
tics not from motives of patriotism, but
for the spoils of office. Destroy this
latter incentive by asvigorous civil service
reform and the business of the mere
politician would be practically ruined
and this is a calamity that the country
could possibly brook with great
equinimity.s.,f5 Ngiauss5 80,

l. Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give baby for a cold?, It was notne-
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
If not the idol of his life was in distress.
1--WE give our baby Chamberlain,s Cough
Remedy" was the druggists answer.
81 don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine" said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print
ing Co., don't youa inquired the drug
gist. His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of bottle of Chamberlain's s
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
