Mr.. F. A. Cook, the travelling sales
Portland, is now returning from his last
tour of the Inland Empire for 1892, and
lie stopping over in The Dalles today. We
do not f1atter Mr.. Cook bit when we
credit him with being one of the ex-
ceptionally few travelling statesmen
whose mind and attention is diverted to
thinking and talking OF methods calcu-
lated to benefit the producer. His OBJ
servations have lead him to advise great
er production of stock hogs. He has
noticed that the farmer who has hogs to
sell this fall does not complain of hard
times like the extensive wheat producer
and some others. Mr.. Clark says Klicki-
tat county could raise a million
dollars worth of hogs, and the cry from
packers would be for more. If the fig
ures were published, showing the sum OF
money sent from Oregon to the east, for
hams, beacon, lard, butter, eggs, ETC.,
commodities which may be readily and
economically produced here, it would
paralyze the public. He is of the opin-
ion that large packing establishments
located in The Dalles, would supply
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, and other
points of the Pacific northwest, at con-
siderable advance on prices paid in
Chicago, Kansas city, etc., because of
the great saving in freights. THE
CHRONICLE has advocated this branch of
business for The Dalles hitherto, and we
are pleased to find in Mr.. Clark first
class assistant, from whom. in a short
time, we hope to obtain some solid facts
and figures.

When the morning Missoulian first
appeared in its reduced size, brought
about by hard times and the democratic
triumph, the editor playfully observed:
"We feel this morning very much like
festive Samson when the fair Deliah
clipped his whiskers.''
In passing sentence upon Williams,
the colored brute of Portland, convicted
of rape; after listening to his plea for
leniency, and promise to become 4
better man, Judge Bradshaw said s'It
is extremely proper that Williams
should become better man; in fact, q
much better man. The court further
said that the crime of which the pris-
oner was convicted of attempting is one
of the most atrocious on the records,
and ever has been so. To be sure the
crime was not SO fragrant as it might
have been. The prisoner had not sue
ceeded in carrying out his purpose, and
this fact would be credited to him in
years of servitude. Therefore the judg-
ment of the court was that Williams
should pass the next seven years of hiG
life in the Salem penitentiary." The re-
port says Williams, apparently, could
not realize for a few minutes Just what
had struck him, and had the sentence
been for seventy years he would not
have appeared more astonished.
"Why,'' said he, AZ expected not over
four years, and thought 1 would get OF
with two"
