THE TYGH HILL ROAD.

Mr.. William McCorl1le, the Tygh Vail
ey miller, is in the city. From him we
learn with regret that nothing has been
done for a long time regarding the open
ing of the Tygh Mountain road. The
people whose interests are most deeply
concerned are those who treat the matter
with the greatest Indifference. Subscrip-
tion lists. sent to prominent points in
and around Tygh Valley brought little
or no response. Mayor Mays put down
his name for $50, A. j. Dufur 500 and
Mr.. McCorkle $75, and a few others
smaller sums and then the matter came
to dead stop. We are sorry for this
indifference and still think better or
ganized effort might have done better.
The getting of subscriptions was left too
much to that shiftless parsonage known
as Everybody" A mass meeting ought
to be held and a committee appointed,
of enterprising and active citizens, who
would be willing to sacrifice little time
on Il work Of such Importance. There
is not a doubt in the world that The
Dalles would help literally and just as
little that the county court would do the
same. But really the people directly in
terested must do some rustling them
selves or they will never get the road
opened. ''God helps those who help
themselves" The road is needed as
everyone knows. Mr.. McCorkle says: 81
have travelled on foot from the Columbia
river to the isthmus of Panama and on
nearly every road from the Pacific Ocean
to the Rocky Mountains and there is no
road in America as bad as the road over
Tygh Hill"

WHAT DANIEL WEBSTER SAID
OF FIAT MONEY.

Daniel Webster denounced depre
ciated currency as "fructifying the rich
mans field with the sweat of the poor
mans brow Speaking of the effects of
a deprecated currency on the laboring
classes he said:
Capitalists may outlive such times.
They may either prey on the earnings of
labor, on their per cent. or they may
hoard; but the laboring man, what can
he hoard? Preying on nobody he be-
comes the prey Of all. His property is
in their hands. His reliance, his fund,
his productive ,reehold, his all, his
labor; whether he works on his own
small capital or on the capital of others,
his living is still made by his industry,
and when the money of the country is de-
preciated or debased,. whether it be
adulterated coin or paper without credit,
that industry is robbed of its reward.
He then labors for country whose laws
cheat him out of his bread.

A ROAD ITSELF THE IMPORTANT
THING

The Portland Telegram puts the case
fairly and well when it says that, 1T is
natural for the people and papers of The
Dalles to desire the portage road built Oh
the Oregon side of the river, but this is
not the important feature of the ques-
ton. Other things being equal, all the
people ofOregon would prefer the road
to be built on the Oregon side. Yet the
important thing is the road itself, not
the question whether it is on one side of
the river or the other. That is Il matter
for honest, capable, unprejudiced engi-
neers to determine. We hope their de-
cision may favor the Oregon side; but if
the other side is the best there it must
CO." So far as this journal is concerned
1T has never asked more than this. A
portage road around The Dalles and
Cello is for the benefit of the country
east OF here and not specially for this
city. So far as we are concerned we
will have an outlet to Portland and As
toria even If the road in question should
never be built. While not ignoring the
fact that a road on this side would
greatly benefit this city we hope we are
more anxious for an open river than for
any special benefit that might accrue
from its location in Oregon. At the
same time portage on this side that
would tap Sherman county would be a
paying Investment if they had a hundred
roads on the other side, and, believing
that such a road can be built and oper-
ated for nearly half the cost of one in
Washin gton we believe that in the long
run it will be built here.

4 TOUGH STORY.

A paragraph is going the rounds of the
Oregon press that contains some very
interesting figures on the sheep industry
of Eastern Oregon. These figures are
the same in every instance-and we have
met them in fully half dozen exchanges
else we should have supposed that
some printer had blundered. The num-
ber of sheep in Eastern Oregon is given
every time as 100000 and the number
of pounds of wool produced by these
same $50, 900 sheep is s,97S,123 pounds.
The amount is an average of very nearly
sixty pounds of wool to each sheep. The
story is a little tough, but then the edi-
tors, some of whom employ the passing
moments in writing learned essays on
the destructive effects of the Hessian fly
on the orchards OF the country, have said
it and it must be true. Still it's tough
as we remarked before.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1891-08-01
OREGON OUGHT TO HAVE 4
PORTAGE.

One thing is certain, if the present
agitation for a portage around the Dalles
should result in nothing being done till
the next meeting of the legislature we
can. without question, obtain an ap-
preparation from the legislature to build
one on the Oregon side. If the question
were carried into the next campaign not
a man could go to the legislature from
any county in Eastern Oregon, bordering
onor near the Columbia river who would
not pledge himself to vote for an appro-
priation. More than this, if the state
portage at the Cascades is success, as
we fully expect it to be, and another
around the Dalles can be built and
equipped for anything like the sum of
Engineer Norton't estimate, we see no
reason in the world why the legislature
would not make an appropriation of a
quarter of a million so that Oregon
could have portage of her own. If a
competent survey had been made before
the meeting of the last legislature, we
have not doubt in the world that an
appropriation would have been made
and the road would now be in process OF
construction.
