Because of a conflict In date with
other fairs in this section, the officers

their exhibition, moving it up one
week from the 21st to the 14th of Oc
tober and continuing four days,
throughout the week. Preparations
have been made for the biggest
crowd and the best display of attrac
lions they have ever had, and the in
dications are that they will not be
disappointed in either.

The Sewer Completed and All Happy.

The sewer work on College between
First and Second was completed
yesterday and the hole at Second
street crossing filed, and everybody
in that vicinity is glad, and the Sew
err Committee is very happy because
this part of the work is finished.
Mr.. Conroy will finish his part OF
the work this week. The big sink
in the bottom of the sewer opposite
Drane's pond is being filled to-day
with grouted stone, making a very
solid foundation.
After few days, giving the plas
tering in the sewer time to dry thor
oughly, the Double Pond will be
turned in and the water drained out.
The committee has done good
work and saved the city money by
taking hold of it themselves.
After all, the sewer has been com.
pleted for some four or five thousand
dollars less than the engineers esti-
mates, we are told.

where the explosions had occurred.
This rain broke drought of long dura-
ton and did a great deal of good. In
neither instance was there any indIca-
tion of rain before the rainmakers began.
OF course, a series of experiments with
explosives will have to be made before
their value for this purpose can be def
nitely determined, but the success of
the first effort is very encouraging. AS
cism that can only be removed by sue
cessful experiments under the observa-
ton of meteorological experts. Being
less dangerous and noisy, timid and ner-
vous people would naturally prefer the
machine-made rain to that frightened
from the sky by dynamite.

IMPORTANT.

No better opportunity has ever been
offered to the citizens of The Dalles
than that now presented by our state
board of immigration. The two exhibit
cars are now being fitted up at Portland
to start east September /.
These cars will be painted white, and
pictures of Mt. Hood, Columbia river
sides. The cars will run to state and
district fairs and prominent cities, Civ
ing opportunity for hundreds of thous-
ands of adj classes of people to see the
possibilities of Oregon. The exhibit
will leave for the east September first
there is therefore but little time left to
improve the offer made to this section
to show its attractions for capitalists OF
those seeking homes.
Major G. w. Ingalls, has been ap-
pointed agent for the immigration board
to prepare and forward specimens oi
fruits, grains, minerals, woods, ETC.,
from The Dalles, Hood River, and in
room next to the Grange store kindly
donated by Mr.. Vogt, and as he is Civ.

The antitrust law passed by the last
congress is dead letter, as all shrewd
business men knew it would be at the
time. 1t might be a good measure with
which to keep up appearances hut that
was all there was in it. No law that
recognizes individual rights of property,
can ever be framed to crush out business
combinations. So long as competition is
right, from a strictly business point of
view, SO long as it is legal. just SO long
will men scheme and form plans and
com binations to control trade. If the
farmers form secret or open combina-
ton to hold their wheat until the price
rises to a semi-faminc rate, how are
they going to be prevented from doing
so? A law that would crush the combi-
nation would crush, at the same time,
the liberty of the citizen. A higher
moral and religious education seems
alone fit to cope with the difficulty, and
even that is frequently powerless against
human greed.

The Rival Rain Doctors.

The rival rain doctors both scored a
great success on Monday. Melbourne,
the man at Springfield, o., who has a
machine in a hut that he claims has the
power to coax moisture from the sky,
became so enraged at party of scoffers
thot he told them he would bring on a
heavy shower before Tuesday or smash
his machine. He retired to his hut and
remained there until heavy storm
came up suddenly on Monday and thor
oughly drenched the unprepared resi-
dents in that section of the Buckeye
state. Not less complete was the sue
cess of the government experimenters
in Texas with their rackarock explosives.
Those were placed in the ground as a
preliminary test and exploded by cleo
tricity, the detonations being heard at
great distance. Ten hours later a
heavy storm came up, rain falling
over an area of 1000 square miles; the
greatest quantity, two inches, falling

The expense of the last encampInent
of the Oregon National guards is the
subject of some very senseless and un-
reasonable criticism. The whole cost
was in the neighborhood of s32, 900 and
it would be difficult to tell how it could
have been less, but this sum is char
acterized as extravagant by men who
are never happy unless they are finding
fault with something. California's en-
campment cost 5000 man; Oregon's less
than $2i. These S21 included tents and
other camp equipments, cooking uten-
sils, provisions, pay of men, cost of
transportation, ETC., and the wonder is
how they got along with so little. When
newspapers speak of expense they should
remember that the National Guard was
organized to save expense. General
Grant encouraged the idea of a National
Guard on the ground that it would re-
lieve the country of the expense of main
tanning regular standing army while at
the same time it would keep, subject to
call, a strong military force for repres-
sion of internal disturbance or protection
against foreign invasion. The very men
who are kicking against the cost of the
encampment on the ground that the sum
expended would have met the expense
of good exhibit at the worlds fair are
the very men who kicked hardest against
a dollar being expended in that way

Tangible Expressions of Gratitude.
Baltimore Sun.
In this country more, perhaps, than
in Europe, there are many ups and
downs in life. The families that once
supported homes and hospitals may
come to need them; those that were
once their benefciaries may rise to a
position whence they can give aid and
support to those charities by which they
were themselves helped. What is need
ed is the grateful remembrance he
every one of the agencies that hav-
helped or encouraged them in their earl
ier years. They should treat all such
assistance, material or moral, as a loan,
like that obtained from the philanthro-
pist already mentioned, to be returned
to others in distress. Fortunately for
the world, the few who feel these obliga-
tions, finding it more blessed to give
than to receiv, repay with such liberal
interest that they more than make up for
the dereliction of those who, through
earelessness or Indifference, or positive
ingratitude, fail to discharge their obliga-
tious. In this way libraries, night
schools, colleges, and even great uni
versities, are established and endowed.
They are, in part, expressions of broad
sympathy with humanity felt by those
whose hard experience has taught them
the need of snch helps to struggling
young men and women; but they are
also in part expressions of gratitude by
those who have actually peen helped
to good fortune by similar institutions
and who discharge their debt by max.
ing provision to give their successors
similar advantages.

He Rescues His Wife. Imprisoned Be-
meath Capsized Yacht.
The weaker members of Yachting
party of five would in all probability
have gone to the bottom of Great South
bay last Saturday but for the bravery of
one man, says the New York Recorder.
Before noon on that day G.. w. Elder,
his wife, Gerald Stuyvesant and his
brother, F. S. Stuyvesant, embarked at
Bay Shore and sailed for Fire island on
the slocp yacht Montauk. Shortly after
tucked pet dachshund under a
cushion, wrapped herself in blanket
and lay down to sleep.
There are no berths in the cabin,
which is supported by stanchtons and
is all open at the stern, A low, broad
seat runs around the cabin. On that
half off Bay Shore the Montauk was
put about, and at that instant vicious
puff of wind filled the sail, and the yacht
turned bottom upward and the pas
sengers sank beneath the waves. Mr..
Elder and the sailing masts were the
first to reach the surface of the water.
They caught the boats bottom and
Wnen OerauS nedu appeared ne was
sure Mrs. Elder remained in the cabin.
Her husband is trained athlete and a
vigorous swimmer. He dived and swan
under the boat, but came to the surface
without finding her. Down he went
again, and came up with no better sue
cess. After the third plunge. He found
Mrs. Elder in the cabin, clasped her in
his arms, and a moment later had her
seated on the keel of the boat. An air
filled space between the surface of the
confined water and the sheathed hull of
the boat had permitted Mrs. Elder to
| breathe until rescued.
