question of further bonded indebted
ness. The council, last Saturday even
ing passed motion for the appointment
of committee to ascertain the condi-
ton of the water fund and act upon the

appoint the committee although the mo-
ton was made at his suggestion. We
presume this was an oversight on the
part of the mayor, but it is cause of
delay all the same, and the people are
jealous of any further delay, more than
is absolutely necessary. Hitherto, one

ary has been critically fixed upon the
council, while the one that ought to

NO Place LIKE EASTERN
OREGON.

The Oregonian says the Willamette
valley seems to be the favored spot of all
the earth, this season. We don't agree
with the great daily. We have lived for
atime, this winter, in both places, and
we unhesitatingly avow our preference
for Eastern Oregon. If, in that splendid
valley there is an absence of cyclones
and hurricanes, if high winds and ex-
cessive cold do not hold bitter carnival
there, if floods have not run riot and
heavy snow drifts stopped traffic and en-
Eastern Oregon, while there is an utter
absence of that cold, raw, chilling moist
ure-laden atmosphere peculiar to
Willamette valley winter. An Eastern
Oregonian doesn't know what a cyclone
is, except by its definition in Webster or
newspaper reports. If the nights are
colder here than they are west of the
mountains the days make up the COM
pensation by salubrity and sunshine. A
typical winter day in this climate is a
poem. It's thing of gladness and
pleasure and beauty and health and
brightness. Life is worth living when it
is lived here and no healthier spot exists
ON Gods green earth. Take it for all in
all, we think Eastern Oregon is the
favored spot this season; and so say, we
all of us.

STATE OFFICIALS.
THE M4YOR'S MESSAGE.

1t is we'll known to the people of this
city and county that the common coun-
ell of The DalIes and the mayor have
been having a monkey and parrot"
time, for 10 these many months. That
the gentlemen who compose the council
were always wrong and his honor always
right we cannot believe. Primd fdcie,
the united wisdom of five honored and
honorable men, some of them old enough
to be his father, is as likely to be as
sound and right as that of one, albeit
mayor. That the council may have
made mistakes, we may frankly admit.
That the mayor may have done the
same is just as likely. Nothing is gained
by unfairness, and it is not journalism
but todyism that insists on perpetual
fault-finding with the one and constant
laudation of the other. The mayor de-
livered a message to the council last
Saturday evening. 1t was an able and
valuable document, fnll of figures and
wise suggestions. But it was promptly
tabled by the council and they did right.
When an official, holding high and
honored position, uses an official mes
sage, as the vehicle of petty spite or bit
ter hate; when the mayor of a city
allows his rancor to supplant his man
ners: when he prostitutes his dignity to
place on the records of a municipality an
evidence of his own partisan hatred or
affection, the council has a right to snub
him, and they did so. The council had
M riubt to andOrsa n Ioudatioo of Macor,
Hilton, Mccoy and Johnston and "a
condemnation of Senator Watkins, and
they didn't. If the mayor wanted to
thank Senator Hilton and Representa-
tives Mccoy and Johnston for obsequi-
GUS personal servitude, and condemn
Senator Watkins because he faithfully
supported the wishes of his constituents,
he might have done so in some other
way. His thanks and blame had no
place in an official message.
We have only one other fault to find
with this, otherwise excellent document.
We have already said it was cunningly
devised instrument. 1t was all that
1t may not have been intended, but it
reads as if every good feature in the
amended water bill was placed there by
the mayors suggestion. We cannot
allow him so much glory. He must
share some of it with others. The coun-
Gil needs little as well as the mayor.
We have not seen the water bill, as it
finally passed the senate, but His Honor
tells us that the amended bill contains
provision whereby the surplus revenue
from water rents can he loaned out,
when not needed to pay interest on the
bonded debt. But this was in the bill
that the council favored. They thought
it one of the best features of the bill,
and reckoned it would save to the city,
before its debt was finally paid, as much
as $4,000. We are pleased to know this
provision remains, but the council must
get the glory of it; not the mayor His
is lessor glory. He didn't amend it
out. For that we move him a vote of
thanks.

PERSONAL AND EXP4NATORY

The first issue of the CHRONICLE was
dated December Is, 1890. Nearly three
months have passed since then, and, till
this present issue, the Times-Moun-
taineer and it's editor can scarcely be said
to have been noticed in it's. columns. If
the CHRONICLE was started to "starve
OUT the Mountaineer, it was singularly
tardy, in commencing the process. Our
predecessor, Mr.. Cradlebaugh, never
once referred to that paper, and the
present writer, on taking charge, received
positive instruction to 'leave Mr..
Michel alone.'' He would have been
glad to have done SO, but he cannot.
He must rise to explain; and must do it
now. The editor of the Times-Moun-
taineer has been whining for the past
six months, because, as he alleges, the
CHRoNICLE was started to starve him
out. The pocket of the Times-Moun-
tGineer is the tenderest part of his anat-
omy. That explains the intensity of the
wall. If the CHRONICLE has any mission,
it is to tell the truth. If the Times
Mountaineer had done this, there had
been no need for the CHRONICLE. The
CHRONICLE was started then, because, in
the words of a learned senator, uttered
on the floor of the senate, during the
meeting of the legislature, ''the editor of
the eTimes-Mountaineer is the most ac-
complished disciple of Annias in Eastern
Oregon" The CHRONICLE was started
to treat people fairly. Had the Noun
tdi1eer always done this the CHRONICLE,
then, had had no special mission. In
the MOuntaineer OF yesterday, there is Il
notice, in the second local column, of a
circular, issued by the State Horticul-
tural society. We publish it, today in
full. Mr.. Michel yesterday published
all but the author and subscriber. This
was the honored name of our fellow
townsman James A. Varney. The Times
MOu1ltdineer doesn't like Mr.. Varney.
Mr.. Varney doesn't get all his printing
done there, and his name must not ap-
pear in the columns of that journal, in
any connection that would do him honor.
At the last local agricultural fair General
Varney made an exhibit of grapes. The
Times -MOa,ntaineer give an accurate ac-
count of all exhibits, but Mr.. Varney's.
Mr.. Varney took the same exhibit to
Portland and carried the sweep-stake
prize in competition with the whole
state. This is not journalism. No
journal, worthy of the name would stoop
so low. The Tin,es-Mountainee falsely
insinuates that the CHRONICLE is a
never been line in this journal adver-
tising North Dalles, that was not paid
for at advertising rates. But enough.
The Times-MOuntai,aeer must not trust
any longer, in the credulity of the public
and the silence of the CHRONICLE 1t
won't be safe.

DEATH OF A. w. FERGUSON.
Peaceful Passing Away of Prominent
Pioneer of This State.

tdcelui away OF
Pioneer of This State.
A. w. Ferguson is dead.
That was the announcement yesterday
His end was painless. stThey thought
him dying when he slept and sleeping
when he died.
He had been bed ridden for many years
and death came to him as welcome re-
lease from long continued suffering. He
was an invalid since 1888, and since 'S5
had not left his bed.
He leaves wife and five children,
f. H., H. B., J. E., and F. W., and Mrs.
J. N. Griffin.
The funeral will be under the auspices
of Temple Lodge No. z. A. F. and A. NJ,
from the Episcopal church tomorrow
morning. The interment will be at
Young's River cemetery.
A. w. Ferguson was born in Virginia,
Aug. %, 1921. He came to the Pacific
coast, across the plains in 1850. He was
married in Louisburg, Va, in 1874. His
wife accompanied him in his trip and
survives her venerable husband. He
was city councilman, justice of the peace
and sheriff of Wasco county for two terms
of two years each.
He was a prominent Mason of high
degree, and in '82 was elected an honor
ary member of the Masonic Veteran
association.
The above is clipped from the Astorian
of the Goth ult. Mr.. Ferguson will be
remembered favorably by the older
settlers. He was good man and was
held in the highest estimation. As one
said to the writer, call the old settlers
quote Ferguson He was former
master of Wasco Lodge A. f. and A NJ.
We extend our sympathy to the bereaved
wife and family. Peace to his ashes.
