Mining Interest in GRAND County.

Mr.. G. S. Miller of Monument gave
THE CHRONICLE Office a pleasant call to-
day. The mining interests of Grant
county are more interesting than for
years past. New discoveries are being
made and developments are proving
very satisfactory in the different sec
tions. With the immense body of snow
in the mountains this year it will ena-
BILE the placer mines to be worked with
more vigor and better paying results
than formerly. The quartz discoveries
are more encouraging as the different
ledges are penetrated, and in the near
future will be the center of attraction.

Convention of Christian Endeavor.
PoRrLAND, April %.

PORTLAND, April ~.
We were little late in arriving at the

Nf the state; two items from each society
riamely, number of members in the So
cIety and any lines of special work taken
Up by the society; The Dalles First Con-
Eregational society reported total mem

I wish your readers could have heard
some of the ereports, they were extremely
interesting.
At IL :15 the convention sermon by
Rev. I. D. Driver DID. of Eugene whose

your delegates endeavored to do ample
justice.
At 1:30 denominational parliaments

Hello there boss, you have my job.
Who comes next for a position in
Umatilla?
Hugh Farmer accepted job hostliug
in The Dalles today.
The boys are having great game of
chase and catch for jobs.
Engine 546 has been laid in for re-
pairs. She is now ready for duty.
Haslam and Harry are lucky in catch
ing the helper. Harry says the helper
can't be beat.
Geo. Avery, who has been in Umatilla
hosting for about year, is now firing
the 54s for Sherman.
W. II. Congdon accepts a passenger
run, as seniority dislocated him and sends
him from Umatilla.
Mike Nolan accepted job in Una
Jilla hostling, as seniority deprives him
of his position in The Dalles.
Pap Power who has been under the
weather for some time, has taken Mont
gomery's run while Monty is East.
Montgomery has taken leave of abb
sence, and Hugh Farmer is doing the
reverse lever act in his place, ''the
merry Farmer boy"
Joslyn and Douglas doubled the road
SO nicely last Friday, they seem to think
if they were given half show they
could do the same thing every day.
Joe Reedy is now running the 443
since Haslam took the 384 for helper.
Joe says that he is satisfied, for he can
pull more with the 443 than any or
dinary 1400.
Foster looses his run with Mr.. Sher-
man, whom he has been firing for a long
time. Sherman and Foster got along
splendidly together, and worked agreea-
bly, to each others interests.
Jake Florin has taken a leave of alb
sence to attend the worlds fair. He
passed through The Dalles Sunday.
Jake is held in high esteem by the boys,
and it is hoped he will not have occasion
to regret the trip.
The $50 came in with her happy little
crew Saturday evening from Viento.
The boys say they enjoy coming to the
city of The Dalles once or twice month
SO they can keep track of the improve
meRts of the city, as the growth of the
city is astonishing.

The rise in the last four days has been

The greatest fair Of modern.
ancient or medieval times will be
opened with appropriate ceremo-
mics at Chicago next Monday. Il
is said that the cost Of the fair has
been s20,OOO,OOO which is consid-
erably more than the fair was ex-
pected to cost but the managers
have not been embarrassed for
funds with which to carry on the
work. The sale of the Columbian
half dollars did not come up to ex-
pectation aud the managers found
it necessary to borrow a large sum
and give these coins in security
for the payment of the loan. Con-
siderable money has been raised
by the sale Of admission tickets in
advance and the exposition will be
opened with the buildings as near
completion as those of any large

IT Is reported by some of The

sue bonds which are desired by
the spectators. There is no bet
ter security than United States
bonds and as these bonds are not
very plenty. the bankers have
adopted this method of getting
more. 1t remains h be seen
whether Carlisle will carry his
point. There is no legal require
ment for the holding of 100000
900 in gold as a reserve and the
question is whether it would be-
better policy to use a part of this
reserve which is lying idle in the
treasury or TO issue more bonds
for the people to ray interest on.
Carlisle's policy is the right one.

THE senate committee which is
to visit the territories this sum-
mer will start about the first OF
May and will reach New Mexico
toward the end of the month.
Upon the report of this committed
will depend more than anything
else the passage or defeat of a bill
for the admission of New Mexico.
There is not the slightest doubt
but that the house of representa-
tives will pass an admission bill
at the next session and it is more
than probable that the senate will
concur. In any event it will be
more than a year before this Ter
ritory can be admitted into the

THERE is no denying the fact
that the rainfall in this Territory
is steadily decreasing and this is
undoubtedly owing to the contin-
ued destruction of the forests here.
In all sections of the country re-
duced rainfall has invariably fol-
lowed the extensive cutting of tim
Der. This Territory needs more
rain and instead of cutting the
timber, tree planting should be en-
couraged in every possible way.
If the mountain springs are to be
kept from drying up and the noun
tain streams are to be- kept run
ming, it will be necessary to stop
the wholesale cutting of trees in
this Territory.

ACAMfAAdN OF EDUCATION.
Since Cleveland sent his cele
brated tariff message to congress
in 1887 there has been no ques.
ti0n Of national Importance sc
widely discussed as the silver ques.
ton is nov being discussed. The
assertions of the monometallistr
are being met with unanswerablo
arguments aud converts are being
made rapidly who are in favor OF
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver.
The monometallists are begin.
ming to see that the current Of
public opinion is turning from
them and now they are proposing
all sorts of make shifts in place OF
the free coinage law for which the
silver advocates are working. They
are willing TO have silver coined il
the ratio Of value between the two
metals be changed. Some are in
favor of fixing the ratio at 20 10 /;
some at % to l and Others at "a
TO /.
Advocates Of a change Of ratio
are looking after their own inter-
lists in suggesting a change. They
are well aware of the change of
fact that a ratio from Is, 15k and
10 to l to 90, % or "a to l would
reduce the worlds circulation of
silver by from 25 to 33 per
cent. They know that such
a reduction in the circul-
ating medium would cause
an unheard of scarcity Of money
and that necessarily the greatest
financial panic would result that
has ever been known. Holders of
gold could look on with compla-
cence and g property values 20
down until the purchasing power
of a gold dollar would be two or
three times what it is now. This
would be the result of a change OF
ratio such as is proposed by some
of the monometallists and as soon
as the far reaching consequences
OF such a movement are compre-
hended by the mass of property
owners, they will oppose any such
step unanimously. The owner of
a ranch stocked with cattle is not
going to favor a measure which is
going to reduce the value of his
property one half, neither is the
owner of a house and lot going to
favor a scheme to reduce his wealth
by half in order to allow the man
who has a mortgage on it for one
third of its value to get the prop
erty for the face of the mortgage
under a mortgage sale.
The plan is an excellent one for
people who loan money. While
it would not increase the number
of their dollars it would increase
the purchasing power of each one
OF them which is virtually the
same thing.
People T beginning to look at
the silver question in its true light
and the American people can come
to bat u conclusion in the mat
ter. Every interest in this coun-
try except the money lenders
would be benefited by the free
and unlimited coinage of silver
and the American people are sen-
sible enough to see it when it is
brought to their attention. This
is now being done by some of the
ablest men in the country and
there is no eason to fear the ulti-
mate result.
