THE CENTAuR COMPANY, n STREET CRY.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1895-05-25
SESSION LAWS OF 1895.


The legislature of 1895 has received
blame without limit; but few words of
praise. We confess we were unable to
appreciate the value of their services to
this great state until the concentrated
wisdom of the session, as contained in
what history and our children will call
the stSession Laws of 1885," came to our
table, and we'learned for the first time
that hereafter all lands covered by
county roads shall be exempt from tax
alton. Thus the great burden, which
has worn the poor county roads into
chuck holes and ruts and rendered them
unable to bear the ordinary palatial
vehicles of wool and wheat haulers, is
removed, and, best of all the cure is inn
mediate, for because of the urgency of
the case, the law went into effect upon
being signed by the governor. We have
heard much of road taxes; we suppose
now we will hear no more of them. If
county roads are to be exempt from tax
alton what right will any one have to
collect road taxes. This great boon, an
appropriation of $40 900 to pay the mem
bers, law protecting song birds and a
few laws of minor Importance are all
contained in this one book.

cITY FINANCES.

The indebtedness of the city ilAnow
taken care of for the next twenty-five
by the bonds recently sold. The hew
charter forbids the incurring of any
other debt, but this will not take care of
the city's finances unless the utmost of
economy is practiced and every unnec-
essary expenditure shut off. The in
come of the city is from 10000 to $12,
600 annually, and for several years its
expenses have exceeded $4,000 per
annum.
The greatest hindrance to the growth
and prosperity of this or any other city
is heavy taxation and debt. The surest
way to avoid both is to place the city's
affsirs in the hands of careful and eco
nomic business men, and keep it there
It is not too soon to give the matter
close attention. Let no taxpayer be in
different to the coming city election.

THE WAY IT SEEMS TO Us.

We make no pretension of under
standing the silver question as we'll as
they who continually discuss it, but we
are of the opinion that if wheat will sell
in Oregon for sixty cents or more per
bushel next fall, populists, silver demo-
Gratis and silver republicans will forget
that wheat and silver have any more
intimate relation than silver and sugar,
silver and wool, or silver and cotton.
If farming and stock raising are no more
profitable this year than they were last,
the political philosophers of the side
walks and country stores will evolve a
remedy, and the voters of the Pacific
coast are likely to try it.

We would suggest that Commissioner
Lamoraux, of the general land Office,
spend his summer in the Cascade range
shooing off sheep. He would learn that
the pasturing of these mountains for the
past fifteen years has not harmed the
herbage about which he is SO solicitous.
His knowledge of the Cascade mount
aims should be amended at once.

was one of the very best of the evening.
The young lady has good elocutionary
powers and recited in perfect manner
the mishaps of a man who was ssToo
Late for the Train" The members of
the Mandolin Club, Professor Stratton,
John Booth, F. W. Wilson, Miss Helm,
Eta Strong, Florence Lewis, Mabel
Stone and Lois Helm rendered pretty
selection.
The title of Miss May Sechler's essay
was ''Silent Forces of Nature" She
told of how the great deeds of nature
are done SO silently and how quiet in
f1uences at work have brought about
great results. Her essay was well re-
ceived.
Miss Bessie French recited in charm
ing manner "Magdalena; or the Span
ish Duel"' The poem was one of those
and the fair reciter gave it with much
expression, indicative of natural ability
and careful elocutionary training.
The next piece was "To Thee, o Coun-
try" sung by the Double Quartette
with good effect, Following this came
the grafton of Miss Pearle Butler. The
title was Monuments Imperishable.n .
The young lady, in fittingly-
language and much dramatic effect,
spoke of those monumnnts which did
not perish and to which the world owed
much. She paid high tribute to the
ties, which are Monuments Imperish-
able.'
A selection "Gently Signs the Breeze, -
sung by Hattie Cram, Lena Thompson,
Lizzie Bonn and Grace Glenn. closed the
evenings performance.
Prof. Gavin and his corps of instruc-
tors can feel well pleased at the success
of their efforts. The exhibition made q
good impression upon the hearers and
bore evidence of the high standard of
work done by our public schools.
AT THE ACADEMY PARK SCHOOLS.
The Academy Park school is surely
unrivalled in its surroundings. Familiar
as it Is to every visitor yesterday every
voice exclaimed in praise of the mag
ni6cent view, the beauty of the park
and the airy sweetness of the rooms.
This building is under the charge of the
Misses Rintoul, Miss Phirman and Miss
Finn. These teachers have all proved
before their fitness for their work and il
any recent conner was among the audi
ence they must have speedily been con-
verted to this belief that the pupils are
fortunate in the intelligent, wise and
loving guidance under which they are
placed. The only thing to criticize waf
in the small accommodation for visitors
and it was not only small but poor when
you had it. 1t would be we'll if &C
large building be planned to afford one
good sized, well arranged audience hall
In the program the violet drill perhaps
appealed most strongly to the sentiment
of beauty, but the patriotic drill wal
not only beautiful but touched deeper
chord. It would be great boon to oul
lovely town if such delightful occasions
as this could be afforded semi-annually
We are sorry not to be able to give
more extended mention of the diferen
exercises, but it was impossible to b.
everywhere at once and so we can only
publish the remaining programs Mon
day, which on account of lack of room
were omitted today.
