The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-05-12

Dufur was we'll represented on the
register at the Umatilla house yesterday.
Mrs. F. c. Sexton, Aaron Frazer, Miss
Nellie Hedley, Ester Menefee and
others, were here.
Mr.. James Kelly, of Kingsley, was in
the city today with his two daughters,
and made very pleasant visit to THE
CHRONICLE, enrolling his name amongst
those of his staunch supporters.
AS evidence corroborating the state
ment of THE CHRONICLE yesterday, that
the Columbia river had not been dis
covered, up to last night, I. N. Camp
bell states to a representative of this
wide awake journal today, that the Col
umbia river is not located on his map.
A kindergarten school would be a. fine
thing for The Dalles.s All cities have
them and now, if some lady, who is
fond of children, and wants to make a
few dollars, will start school of this
kind, she will confer a'lasting benefit
upon posterity.
When the railway business in the
west reaches point at which a distrib-
utor receives locomotives by the train,
as was done recently in Buffalo, n. Y,
and illustrated by the Express; then
there will not be river front at The
Dalles sufficient to accommodate the
water craft. kWhy? Because the rail-
way influences will have purchased it
and laid it away for keeps.
The Herald says: 'sR. n. Wright, a
mugwump politician who changes his
politics oftener than he does his shirt, is
heard from through an article in yester-
days Astorian, written by himself, and
signed Boys of the High School in which
he tries to vindicate himself from the
charge that he is political scalawag,
unfit to hold his present position and
should be removed"
Six million dollars will be the sum
paid this gear, to transport the grain OF
the Inland Empire to point where it
can be shipped to the markets of the
world. One year. Wheat alone. Just
think of it; then ask yourself s.What
were such men as Rep. Holman of Indi-
ana, born for, If it was not to bleed us
and such as us, that half this sum might
go into the Golfers of corporations and
eventually be divided amongst men oi
his kind ?'' This is the stubborn fact.
There is a level headed man at the
helm in the Pomeroy Independent Office
He says: ''With a portage at The
Dalles this rate would be reduced about
one-half and thereby leave $4,000, ,ooo III
the pockets of the people, that now 90
into the Golfers of the corporations to aid
them in buying our cong ressmen of
from urging appropriations to open the
river by constructing a portage railway,
as the state of Oregon has done at the
Cascades of the Columbia, and thereby
saved tens of thousands of dollars to the
people on the lower river, whose pro-
ducts are not a tithe compared to the
products of the upper Columbia and
Snake river basins"
The story that there will be a war
dance at Minneapolis next month is
probably based on the fact that de-
scendant of Tecumseh, whom the presi-
dents grandfather whipped at Tippe-
canoe, is a member of the Colorado del
egation to the republican national con.
vention. He has an old score to settle
and viii join the free silverites of the
delegation in vigorous quest for Har.
rison's scalp. The chances are, says the
Oregonion, that the descendant of TIE
cumseh and his allies will not be more
successful in their campaign against the
president than the old Indian hero anG
his allies were in their attempt to carr,
away the scalplock of his grandsire
What bravery could not do on the former
occasion, bluster is not likely to accom-
plish in the coming contest.
