The offer is open to Democrat or Republican,
free trader or protectionist, and the result OF
the fortunate explorers visit will doubtless be
a valuable contribution TO the literature Of the
pending campaign.
We may add that the editor ~ Q staunch
Republican, is not taking very serious risks
from n party stand point. II was just such an
exploring expedition rs he invites q represen-
tative Providence workman to take, that made

There Is a charming hat in pink just
suited to a brunette OF glowing complex

watered streamers droop behind and are
caught together with a prickly thistle

Not less striking Is q violet hat, with
the green stems for it's foundation. They
are drawn up to the crown and knotted
there with narrow mauve, velvet ribbons
and n clasp of Rhine stones. The flowers
crowd thick and close about the brim in
double rows. -
Some of the most taking hats are In
black and grass green, a combination
especially favored this season. Others are
In black and crimson, black and pink and,
more especially, black and orange. White

a WEST END COMPLAINT.
The yandaI Hand of the Tramp Adver-
t1seH Revealed.

It is about time The Dalles had an or
dinance to prevent travelling bill posters
from tacking their cards every where in
discriminatory. A gentleman living in
West End recently painted his fence,
and fixed up nicely about his premises,
when along comes fellow and up goes
half dozen COW brand cards. They
were promptly but Indignantly removed,
the scars from nail heads filed, and all
went smoothly until last week when an
other tramp came along and gave the
fence another dose. This was repeated
yesterday by a third irresponsible van
dal. It is certainly exasperating, but
what can man do?
Petition the common council to license
one responsible bill poster for the city
who will put up boards in suitable
places, and after tearing down and wip-
ing out the disgraceful disorder and
unsightly ragged edges of the present
tax of systematic work, give the licensed
bill-poster authority to pull the very
next tramp who enters the city with
any kind of placard in the attempt to
repeat the obnoxious work.
Look at our electric light poles, our
awning posts, our very door sills-that
bear the trace of such vandal hands,
whose only care is to get their name
before the public by bumming place,
and you will certainly agree with THE
CHRoEIcLE that it is d cause for aggrava-
ton such as our west end resident COM
plains of.
If there is no adequate law to fit the
case, make one.
