Brief Historical Notes.

The first railroad in this country was
built in 1927. 1t was a horse-road, and
was built for hauling granite from the
quarries at Quincy, Mass, to the Nepon-
set River.
The first street-ear line in the world for
conveying passengers through the streets
of city was built on Fourth avenue,
New York, and put in operation in
1872
The second street-car line was opened
for traffic on Sixth avenue in August.
1852.
The first street-car line IN Europe was
built in Birkenhead, Eng, by George
Francis Train, in 1860. This enterprise
was not received with favor, tho tracks
were torn up, as were also those of
another line in the suburbs of London
laid in 1862. and not until 1865 was line

The Astonished Monarob.

The inventor of the game of chess, on
first taught the game, that he should
have any reward he might ask for, meek
ly replied that he would be content if the
King would give him one kernel of
wheat on the first square, two on the sec
ond, four on the third, eight on the
fourth, and so on, doubling up to the
sixty-fourth square. The King gladly
acceded to the seemingly modest request,
and ordered his attendants to bring in the
wheat, which they began to do; but, to
the astonishment of the monarch, it was
found that there was not wheat enough
in the whole dominion TO pay off the
crafty inventor. 1t would require 9,627, :
26S, $50, ,934, ,775, ,l6S kernels. equivalent to
80, ,027, ,097, ,1S4, ,4S5 bushels.

Under the Dakota statutes man who

If he attacks but fails to get any plunder,
he can be sentenced half a lifetime. In a

4 WARNING TO PORTLAND.

An article in Tuesdays Oregonian con-
corning the shipment of wheat to the
east ought to awaken Portland's citizens
to the urgent need of an open river as no
other argument heretofore has. 1t shows
that an immense amount of wheat has
been, is still being, sent from the Inland
Empire to the middle, east and. south.
Nothing viii check this but an open
river and cheaper and speedier transpor-
tation facilities. To get these at once
both portage railway bills now pending
in the legislature should be passed. 1t
has been urged that the building of the
Cascade road would benefit Wasco county
alone; but it will be readily seen that
without this road, no benefits can possi-
bly, accrue to other portions of the state
Wasco county is not selfish, and cheer
fully adds the weight of its demand for
the portage road around the distractions
between The Dalles and Cello. Both
roads are needed for complete relief from
the Union Pacific, and both are abso-
lutely necessary to the development and
prosperity of Eastern Oregon.

An Actress. Pet.

Next to a rattlesnake, probably the
most unpleasant of all the animals in
creation to make q domestic pet of Is
that owned by Pearl Means Some
months ago a friend in Florida offered
her in jest a juvenile alligator, and Miss
Means accepted it. The little saurian
was duly forwarded, and has since taken
up a large place in its mistress affec-
tons. She attends to all its reptilian
wants with great solicitude, and it is
amusing to see the little beast-a yellow
ribbon hidden coquettishly round its
wrinkled neck-wHggling about in her
lap and wagg1ing its scaly tail as she
strokes its head. q
The alligator commends itself for do
mestic adoption by one capital virtue
economy. Succi isn't a circumstance to
its starving abilities. During six months
Miss Means pet requires no food, and it
sleeps twenty-five hours out of the twen-
ty-four. The only Inconvenience that
can possibly arise viii be when the mini
ature leviathan advances in years and
develops its natural instincts for human
morceaux. A finger may then be snap
ped off the hand that caressas it before
the hand knows where it is.-New York

WE HOPE WE WE'RE MISTAKEN.

In conversation with gentleman who
has recently returned from Salem we
were given some points on the legislature
which we hope are true. He says that
the members of this legislature are
broad in their views, that they have the
interest of the whole state at heart, and
are keenly alive to the necessities of
Eastern Oregon. He is firmly of the
opinion that both the Cascades and
Celilo-Dalles railroad bills will be
passed. We hope he is correct and that
the suspicious, born of uneasinessi and
oft-deferred hope, which our people have
indulged in, are devoid of foundation.
We have hopes that he is correct after
reading the ringing speech of Senator
Veatch. Wewill be pleased indeed to
note the fact that we have misjudged
the legislature, and will certainly give
them their full need of praise when they
deserve it. But six working days remain,
and whatever is done must of course be
done quickly.

THE BILL HAS PASSED.

The glad news flashed over the wires
that the Cascade railroad bill had passed
the house by vote of 50 to 1. The bill
will have to go back to the senate to
have it concur in the amendment putting
Secretary Mcbride on the commission.
This will not take long and will assuredly
be done. The bill is to all intents law
and the sun of prosperity has dawned for
Eastern Oregon. We congratulate our
selves on the passage of the bill, and we
lift our hats individually and collectively
to the legislature of the state of Oregon.
We have been disposed to find fault at
the seeming unnecessary delay but
twenty years of waiting on the general
government for the opening of the locks,
and the forfeiting of the railroad lands
has made us heartsick and hopeless. 1t
is happy coincidence that the news of
the passage of the portage railroad bill
and the instructions to, the land offices,
which make the forfeited lands available
to settlers, reached us, one from the east
and one from the west, this morning.
Once again we thank you gentlemen OF
legislature and with one accord exclaim
"Well done thou good and faithful
servants -

With reciprocity established in the
past week with Brazil and Venezuela, it
is fair to presume that the balance of the
South America republics will be treated
on the same terms, and that the policy
of the administration will have under
gone change from it's radical protective
ideas to the adoption of free trade be-
tween the favored countries as to the
enumerated in the treaties. AS these
articles are generally the principal pro-
ducts of the countries and also about all
products and manufactures that could
be sold there at profit, it amounts in
practice to free trade between this coun-
try and South America. 1t is probable
also that both Canada and Mexico, will
join the reciprocity band, and that as far
as this continent is concerned free trade
will have free sway. James g.. Blaine is
the sorcerer that has brought about this
result, and we fully believe. that it will
prove of immense benefit to all the coun-
tries concerned.

Girls nIakinr Baby C1othes.

Every now and then one hears of a
new instance of ingenuity on the part of
the working girls, more especially those
who belong to clubs, and SO get the bene-
fit of contact with wise and tactful
women. Fourteen of Miss Grace h.
Dodge's New York club girls have lately
gone into a very pretty enterprise. They
have established themselves ON a coop
erative basis in the manufacture of dainty
baby clothes. A little money has been
put into the plan from outside. If the
girls succeed and anything is left above
their wages the profits are to be parted
in three, one portion for the stockholders,
one for the girls, to be divided according
to their salaries, and one for an emerg-
ency and enlargement fund.
p do not know of a pleasanter place in
the city in which to spend half an hour
than the sunny little workroom above
the store, especially if one happens in
about o'clock, when all the wee shocked
frocks and long robes are dropped, while
quaint blue and white cups and saucers
and the shiniest little kettle are pro-
duced, and everybody has merry ten
minutes over afternoon tea The girls
take to their work as gayly as if they re-
garded it as an endless succession of jolly
sewing bees. They are interested in
their task, interested in one another and
interested. and enthusiastic over their
novel scheme They are about the only
really happy looking sewing girls have

Going to school in the 'tPan Handle"
Of Texas-that little known but fruitful
region, almost as Large as Maine. to the
west Of the Indian territory-is not 80
simple a matter as it is in the older parts
of the Union, if we are to accept an ac-
count, which seems to be given in good
faith by Texas journal, of q school
girls recent adventure near the new
town of Childress.
About ten miles from Childress. it is
stated, there lives settler named Col
ier, who. has a daughter 16 years old
named Pauline. The daughter wished
to go to school, and as there is no school
nearer than Childress, she was allowed
to journey between her home and her
school on horseback
Not long ago, as she was galloping
easily along over the plain on her pony,
she suddenly saw, crouching on the
ground before her, ready for spring, a
panther, or American hon," an animal
which is not uncommon in that region.
No, doubt a good many 16-year-old
girls, confronted by such an animal un-
der such circumstances, would have
turned their horses head and taken to
fight. Pauline was wiser than this.
She knew that an attempt at escape
meant death.
She had no firearms, but she had,
hanging upon the pommel of her saddle,
an instrument which is very commonly
used thereabouts- lariat or lasso. Paul
inc coolly took up the lariat, and, with
quick and slzilful hand, threw it over
the neck of the now advancing wild ami
NAL. Then, with wrap of the coil
about the pommel of her saddle. she
started swiftly along the trail, dragging
the resisting panther behind her.
Before she reached Childress, Pauline
encountered a group of cowboys, who
were naturally greatly astonished to see
the game she had in tow. The animal
between his choking and his dragging
was dead. The cowboys removed the
panther's skin and had it made into a
sacque, which they presented to the
young girl. The animal, however, was
first weighed, and was found to weigh
210 pounds

4 BRIGHT FUTURE.

With the building of the portage rail
road between here and Cello, the build
ing of the Hunt road on the other side
of the river, and the completion OF
the Farmers Transportation company IS
road from Columbus to a point opposite
here, there is going to be an abundance
of work, and consequent lively times
here during the coming summer. The
Dalles has had period of business de-
preston owing to the unprecedented
failure of crops summer before last, and
the tremendous loss of stock year ago.
The country around her has suffered, and
of course she has suffered with it. The
splendid crop last summer lifted a portion
of the load of debt which has oppressed
our entire people, and blocked the prog
ress and development of the country.
The winter has been an exceptionally
good one for stock and the sheep indus
try has largely recuperated. The wool
crop will be good one and the staple
should be first class. This will yet fur
ther relieve the financial tightness and
if followed by the good crops which the
present weather gives promise of our
financial troubles will be over. The future
our city seems bright, and we can i'm
agine no combination of circumstances
which will prevent that rapid growth
which now seems certainly hers. She is
to take step ahead and long one, and
we predict that her growth will be both
rapid and permanent. Her natural le-
sources will be developed, her surround
ing grain fields will double in area, the
sloping hills in which she is set like a
jewel will purple with grapes, and
Pomona win here establish her throne.
That we have abundant coal fields whose
products must reach the Columbia at
this point cannot be longer doubted, and
when the means of transporting il
hither have been provided, The Dalles
will become the principle manufac-
turing city of the northeast. We have
all the elements necessary to make a
great city; and with all this we have the
best position geographically of ANY
inland city on the coast. We may not
achieve greatness, but we cannot pre-
vent it being thrust upon us.
