Chairman Committee
Is 1T FavoritIsm? If Not, What Is it?

Is 1t FaVoritIsm? Ii Not, What Is il?
The recent action of majority of
the city counc, in voting To grant the
VI X. IL T., R.llway company the
privilege of Constructing three or four
more tracks or switches across
Eleventh and Other streets west of
that one in the city, naturally raises
the inquiry, why was it done Why
wns the protest against granting said
privilege of a number OF citizeus
ignored Why was the request of
the NJ X & T., granted, when a
similar request from the Cotton Belt
road was denied u III the latter road
was compelled to promise to pave
Mary street with rock before they
would be allowed to put down even
one additional track The people
generally approve of the grant to the
Cotton Bels, because they were to re-
oeive from the road several substantial
benefits in the way of street paving.
Now the matter is viewed differently
by a majority of the council The
NJ. * & T., railway is granted this
valuable franchise for nothing.
Mem bers Of the council were urged
to refuse the franchise until the street
50 used Uaeksou) should be pul in a
condition that would be Of some ser
slce 20 tue public Ii it was right to
make the Cotton Belt pave with rock,
Mary street, before allowing them to
place another ,r4cN thereon, why not
require the NJ. X. & T. to pave
jackson street before granting the
late franchise ? The NJ X & T gets
more favors from Wsco and gives less
for them than any other road.
Why is this Why not apply the
same rule to all the roads
When the people asked the M. X
4 T., for a decent depot, they hardly
received a decent answer-theg got
nothing.
The NJ X & T., ask to block up
with FIVE tracks, Eleventh street, very
popular and prominent street, also
Thirteen,h-the request is promptly
granted without one cents benefit to
the city, but to the great incon-
venience Of its citizens, and the great
depreciation Of value of property on
those streets.
But worse still, the M. K & T., in
putting down their tracks on jackson
street have neglected to cover up their
track, and have practically destroyed
it to public travel, and have neglected
to even regard the natural drainage;
as a consequence the street is lined
with mud holes that are declared
nuisance.
And now these same members OF
the council have ordered the city's
Street gang to go to Jackson street
and fill aud grade that street up to
level Of the aforesaid track at the ex-
pence of the city.

It Counts.

Tasty, judicious advertising certainly
pays, says an exchange. The merchant
who will show care in the preparation of
his announcements will be sure to receive
satisfactory results. When merchant
does not advertise 1t is sure sign that he
Is indolent and does not care to reach out
for trade. When one stops advertising
there is evidence that he has done it so
poorly that he is no longer in the race for
public patronage. JudIclous advertising
is TO business what oil is to machinery
Without il, success is impossible. Two
per cent. OF gross receipts can be safely
spent in advertising and it will prove a
good investment. OF course, money can
be wasted in advertising; SO can fools
drown themselves, but the man who can
not successfully advertise cannot hope for
success in business In this day of close
margins, quick sales. scarce moneys and
nineteenth century methods. The busi-
ness man of to-day must be alert, quick
witted and thoroughly alive, and sprint
er's ink" judiciously applied Is as neces--
sary TO this as pure air is to health, to be
successful in modern business life.

From Thursdays Daily.

The day opened out bright and clear, and
dered all very favorable for the special day,
it being ladies' day. Most OF the business
houses closed for the afternoon to enable
their employees to attend the fair, and the
streets presented deserted appearance.
Early in the afternoon The Dalles band
discoursed some excellent music on the cor.
ner of Court and Second streets, and then
took their departure for the fair grounds to
add enliyenment to the scene.
The lumber of the fair sex who attended
the grounds during the afternoon was much
greater than at any time yet. and it beng
the day for some of the best of the races
the greater portion of the towns population
was out.
The exhibits increased largely yesterday
afternoon, principally in the stock and fruit
departments, and there are now horses and
cattle that would do credit to any tair or
stock show.
In the pavilion also many new exhibits
collection of photographs taken and entered
by Miss Lang
At the fair grounds yesterday afternoon,
the principal event was, the three.eights'
mile dash and repeat. The horses entered
were Champagne, Rockland Boy, Sirretta
and Little Joe. The race was very pretty
one, and was obser we'd by an enthusiastic con.
course of lockers on. The race was won by
Rockland Boy, time 80 seconds.
A number of the best races of the season
were to take place this afternoon; but owing
to the lateness of the hour, and the delays
in getting the horses cut We were unable to
get the reports in time.

Oornucopia Gold.

The success attending the operation of
the Red Jacket mine and mill at Cornu
copia, under the management of Mr.. l. R
Farrell in the employ of the Oregon Gold
Mining Company, of Louisville, KY, is
certainly matter of pride and satisfac-
ton to the people of Baker and Union
counties, and demonstrates what can be
accomplished in mining In this section of
country when the right men are put In
the right place and common sense is
displayed. The Red Jacket mine is only
one of many properties that can be made
to pay handsome dlyidends if properly
managed.
On Sunday last Mr.. Farrell arrived in
Baker City with another cleanup of $4,000
or more which he deposited at the First
National Bank for shipment east. Mr.
Farrell was met by reporter to whom
the gentleman stated that he thought he
would be able to keep the mine and mill
in operation until January, at which time
he was of the opinion he would be COM
PEELED to close down until March owing
to the deep snow, necessitatlng the taking
down of the tramway between the mine
and mill as measure of economy to pre-
vent its destruution by snow slides. Mr..
Farrell is very hopeful of results the COM
ing year and predicts large monthly out
put.

Yesterdav's Races,

In the half mile dash and repeat three
heats were run. 1t was most exciting
race, and considerable time was occupied in
obtaining start. Rockland Boy won the
first heat. The second heat was as spirited
as the first, and at the finish grew exciting
as Little Joe came out first. On the third
heat the excitement became intense, and all
were anxiously awaiting the outcome. The
horses came into the home stretch, each do
ing its best, and came under the wire, every
muscle of each horse being terse with de-
termIned effort, with Rockland Boy in the
lead. Time, So seconds.
The chief race of the day was that of
gentlemen's roadsters. The horses entered
were Nj. A. Moody's Pet, ]. S. Schenk's
Pearl Knox, j. P. McInerny's John Day.
Robt. Mays jr.. Bonner and John Rhodes
John L. The purse for the winner was $50
Each man drove his own horse. The race
was a half mile. and three heats were
trotted. This was the event of the after
noon, and was closely attended by all who
could get time to be present. The interest
manifested was very great, and as the start
was made the excitement grew. The horses
came under the wire neck and neck, with
John Day in the lead. The second and third
heats were also won by Mr.. McInerny, who
was given the race. The time was l:3l.
There was considerable discontent mani
tested over fault in the start, W hich placed
Mr.. Moody at disadvantage, but he did not
enter protest, although he had good cause
for grievance.

Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
The almost incessant rain has kept "Zeb-
time; but he is partially aroused again ow-
ing to the appearance of pay day, p rhaps,
which came on yesterdaY, and many hearts
were made glad from the fact that they re-
celved cash in hand for August checks.
Work goes on apace. bnt is greatly re-
tarded by the rain. There would have been
some wall laying before this time had the
rain not fell in torrents and made more
water than the pump could raise. There is
second pamp IN place DOW, anil the two
will soon free the canal of water.
The new stone shed Is not vet rooted, so
the majority of the stone cutters cannot
work; but that will soon be remedied. for
there is a force of carpenters at work on it.

An Important Decision.

"Trade names and things that are Just as
good" In a suit over the use of distinc.
tive name tor the designation of a variety of
underwear, Judge Gildersleeve rendered a
the manufacturer and consumer from a
dealers fraud.
Few of merchants customers are ex-
perts who can tell whether they are being
imposed on or not. They haye learned to ask
for goods by a special designating title.
The dealer who sells them something else
under that name is committing fraud on
them.
The retail stores are full OF imitation ar
ticles which the dealer does not hesitate
to assure his customer are ''just as good"
as the thing asked for. Every customer
will use his own judgment about believing
this, and most of the customers understand
that the dealer who tries to sell something
else that is ''just as good" is really indiffer.
ent to the quality and is only alive to the
larger margin of profit on an inferior ar
ticie.
When dealer makes and sells clothing
of cotton and wool mixed under a name
universally understood to designate clothing
of wool alone, he is not only committing a
fraud on the customer, but he is commit
ting double fraud on the inventor or man.

AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
From Wednesdays Daily,

The day opened cloudy and murky with
a threat of rain. Notwithstanding the un-
prepossessiug weather, a considerable num-
Der were in attendance. The exhibits are
still coming in, and bid fair to fill the pa
vllion to Its utmost extent. Numbers OF
people are coming into town for the purpose
of attending the fair. and many who are IN
terested in fast horses come to take in the
races. There are the usual number of the
sporting fraternity who follow up fairs in
order to ply their vocation. The Dalles
band furnishes an abundance of good music,
| and adds materially to the attractions.
Among the exhibits that have just come
in is display from the corset factory of
Mr.. J. W. jenkins. The fruit and Yege-
table exhibits are increasing rapidly. An
excellent collection of apples and various
fruits from the farm of Mr.. Sandoz forms
consplcous portion of the display. Mr.. w.
S. Myers shows plate of superior ounces.
In the other departments-Mrs. Heppner, a
collection of oil paintings; Mrs. Bancroft,
some excellent portraits in oil. Mrs.
Shackleford has entered some very fine
specimens of embroidery, and Mrs. Eshel
man and Mrs. Lewis some very superior
pieces of drawn work: One of the most
unique of the fancy work exhibits is chair
throw, worked by Miss Ellen Maddron.
The flower exhibits of Mrs. Jno. Marden
and Mrs S. B. Adams are excellent and
speak volumes for the ability to grow su-
perior flowers in The Dslles.
The bee exhibits also are very commend. |
able, number of patent hives are shown |
with glass doors showing the bees at work,
and laying bare the process of making |
honey.
Messrs. Robert Kelly and VIM. Sharp
have some very fine exhibits of stock. The
amount of stock is very rapidly lncreas-
ing this afternoon, and from present indica-
tlons, when the entries are closed in the
morning, there will remain hut very little
space to be filed.
The poultry exhibit is very limited, there
being but few coops of fowls, which look
rather lonesome, placed off by themselves.
The races are supposed TO be the chief at
traction; but up until "a late hour to-day,
the track was deserted.

Nearing Completion.

The new war ship Oregon is nearing COM
pletlon. The day is not far distant when
she will be launched IN the element where
she will henceforth dwell. Two of the
fairest of Oregon's daughters have been Sc
lected to press the button that will send
the steel monster speeding down into the
waves, and to smash the bottle of wine,
that will endow her with the name OF one
of the fairest of the states of the union.
The Oregnn is destined for fighting ship.
She has very heavy armament and will
carry the largest guns in the new navy.
Ths largest guns now in any U. S. ship, are
the two l2-lnch rifles on the Monterey; but
the largest of the Oregon will have l3-
inch bore. She Is the first battle ship con-
structed on the Pacific coast. The cruiser
Charleston and the coast defense vessel.
Monterey. are of western build, and of
equal durability and strength, with those
built at the eastern works.

Reports From La Grande.

About ten Cinnamon who were allowed
to remain in and about La Grande to settle
up their affairs were last night given final
notice to leave by committee of agitators.
Some of these unfortunate heather possess
teams and wagons with which they did
their gardening, and have been unable to
dispose of the property. They are unwill.
ing to go. and seem disposed to invoke the
protection of the law, so that trouble is
possible.
There is some talk at La Grande to the
effect that Chinese incendiaries set fire to
the elevator building, recently destroyed.
1t was used as headquarters by the agitators
and the supposition is that the celestials
took this method of getting even. Another
theory is that the agitators may themselves
have accidentally caused the fire by leaving
cigar stumps or matches around the build
ing after one of their meetings.
Within a short distance of the elevator
stood the Standard Oil Companys talk con.
tanning 5000 gallons of petroleum. Had it
caught fire the entire city would have sui
fered. 1t was kept covered with wet
blankets, and the wind fortunately hap
pensd to be in the opposite direction.
The elevator contained some 26, 600 BUSH
els of fine wheat belonging to Conley and
CavIness. About $1,000 bushels will be
suitable for hog feed.

between them previous to the encounter.
1t was a fortunate escape for Mr.. Robinson
and also for the young man, as the pistol,
had 1t been discharged an instant sooner,
would have likely killed the former, and
the latter barely escaped serious wouldlng.
Guard: An immigrant family with ten
children arrived at the Mckenzie bridge
the first of last week from Oklahoma, hav-
ing been on the road since the middle of
April. The night previous to their arrival
at the bridge they camped on the summit of
the Cascades IN the snow, with not bite to
eat. When they arrived at Powers, they
were in pitiful condition and nearly
starved, and ate raw potatoes readily, not
waiting for q meal to be cooked. They
were taken care of by MIR. Powers and
furnished with all the food needed, and
they were about the happiest mortals in
the state.
Walla Walla Union: The official meas
urement of the American states as given by
the United States census bureau show that
there are only seventeen states having
greater area in square miles than Washing
ton. The figures show Washington to have
twice the area of Maine, five times that of
Maryland, seven times that OF New Hamp-
shire, seven times that Of Vermont, eight
times that of Massachusetts,, nine times
that of Connecticut, thIrty-three times that
of Delaware and fifty-ive times that OF
Rhode Island. The area of Walla Walla
1896 square miles, is greater than
that of Rhode Island by 46 square miles.
