pretty strong story, but he declare.
1t is true.
One day the City Of Chicago, OF
her way into the harbor Of st. Joe
came near colliding with smaller
boat. She came so near that half 6
dozen Of her tenders were scraped off
and the carpenters were busy putting
new ones in their places while the
hustlers were rushing the customary
load Of berries aboard. Two farmers
came up to the big boat and looked
her over admiringly.
That's the ship that will carry US
over to Chicago, " said one Of them.
"Yes, and she'll take us over in q
mighty little time" said the other.
Il heard she came over in four hours
this morning"
She'll go back in less time than
that. Look at the new legs they are

SUGAR AND NEAT.

From an agricultural point Of view
the great question between the Old
World and the new st the present
time is the terms on which Europe
shall exchange its surplus sugar for
Americas surplus meat. The ques
tion does not concern Great Britain,
for it produces no sugar, and it mainly
conoerns the German speaking peoples
Of Europe and our prairie farmers and
Ianchers still farther west, says an ex-
change. The latest rumor 10 to the
effect that France and Austria are
getting ready to join Germany and
Denmark in this interoontinental war
over beets and live stock.
The December consular report, just
issued, contains several communica-
tions from American consuls in Europe
which bear directly on this subject, all
written. evidently, before the matter
had taken on any character of hoslil-
ity. Two or three consuls report upon
the meat question. Il appears tina.
the Germans like our meat, whether
it comes to them dressed or on the
hoof. 1t can be brought bv refrigera-
ton if dressed, or In ship stalls if
alive, and either may be sold at a
lower rate than the home-raised beef
Preparations have just been made fer |
greatly enlarged commerce between
this country and the port of Ham
burg in both dressed beef and live
cattle. 1t is highly probable that these
enlarged facilities are at the bottom of |
Germany's hostility to American beef |
and bseves. Writing over date of |
August 20th, Commercial Agent Smith,
stationed at Mayenoe, stated that the
Hamburg American Packet Company
would soon have five new steamers
constructed specially for the carriage |
of cattle and meat. adding; "It Is ex-
pected that q lively trade on the part
of Germany with the United States
will be inaugurated." 1t was the ap-
prehension of that "lively trade"
probably, which alarmed the cattle
raisers of the great baronial estates of
Germany.
There are two estimates given in
this same publication Of the beet
sugar production Of Europe. One Is
from the International Statistical
Sugar Alliance. the other from LIGHTS
circular. The latter is given the pref.
srence by our consul general at Frank
fort, Mr.. Mason. The former gives
the total of the years crop as 1885,
900 tons, the other as 1915. 900 tons.
The lower of these two is considerably
pver q, million tons in excess of the
annual yield Of the three Immediately

TIE DALLES.

The Orsgomian yesterday did full
justice to nearly every portion of the
state, and its enterprise and general
:airness was very commendabie; bat
the correspondent who wrote the arti-
Gle descriptive Of The Dslles. was mis-
taken In soms of his statements He
says:
"Bsfore the era OF railroad develop
ment in Eastern Oregon, The Dalles
was the one rich trading center Of all
that part of the state lying east of the
Cascade mountains. The great steam
boat traffic on the Columbia river was
all transferred at The Da!les, and
freight teams left that pls,e for points
ss far distant as Yakima and Ellens-
burgh, in Washington. and Prineville
and Canyon City, in Oregon. The
completion of the railroad line of the
Oregon Railway 4 Navigation Cou-
pany to The Dalles, and the subse-
qusnt construction of the Northern
Pacific railroad across the Cascade
mountains to Puget sound, cut off
much of this trade formerly held by
The DaIles, yet the rapid settlement
of the country Immediately tributary
has in a measure partly made up for
the loss of the trade which the rail-
road has diverted to other points"
1t is true that during the first era
Of the development of the resources
of the northwest The Dalles was per-
haps q more important factor than it
il at present; but its glory has not
departed, although its citizens, have
never manifested the spirit Of public
enterprise commensurste with the
natural advantages of the place.
Since the completion of the Northern
Pacific railroad, the trade Of Yakima
and Ellensburgh has been attracted
to the sound; but Canyon City, Prime
vile and even the Silver Lake country,
225 miles distant, have The Dalles as
their market. Every season ~ool and
produce from these portions Of the
state are brought to this city, and our
wholesale merchants send the country
dealers in these regions their supply of
goods.
Since the Regulator has made reg
ular trips to and from the Cascades.
freight rates have decreased very ma
terialIy, and the business Of this point
has increased surprisingly. About
two-thirds of the wheat of Klickitat
WASH, were sold this year at
our warehouses. and large portion
of the crop of Sherman and Gillian
counties. These Is no denying the
fact that the business of The Dalles
has largely increased during the
past few years, and while it
may have held more i'm
portart place in the traffic
Of the Columbia river before the oou-
pletion of the O. R. & N. and North |
srn Pacific railroads, yet it ls larger
,ity today. has more population, and
larger volume of trade
than ever before in its history. Its
iruit, fish and other industries are not
nearly developed, and The Dalles has
the brightest future Of any city east of
the Cascades. It will soon enjoy the
benefit Of an open river to the sea, and
will be an ocean-competitiye psint,
with equal privileges regarding freight
rates to and from the east that are
now enjoyed by Portland and other
,eaboard cities in the northwest.
