THE DALLEs AND YAKIMA.

In days not long gone by, the road be-
tween The Dalles and Yakima was, dur
ing the summer season, lined with
freight teams; the road was good, feed
and water plenty and the distance
ninety-five miles-not great. But since
the competition of the Northern Pacific,
freighters on this road have retired.
A gentleman of this city, who recently
visited Yakima, reports that the wool
men of that section will next year revive
the freightlng business from there here
and ship their wool to this market !;
prices here this year are from 2to cents
higher than there and they will ship
here by team.
There is no reason who these teams
will not desire to take loads of merchan-
disc in return as of yore; it behooves
our merchants to cast an eye IN this
direction. Our transportation facilities
are such that we can furnish them goods
upon just as good terms as Tacoma and
Seattle merchants and the freight from
here there, we venture to say, will be
quite as low as from the sound cities.

KLICKIT4T COUNTY'S FINANCES

The Goldendale Sentinel has some ex-
cellent counsel in its last issue, concern
ing the payment of the Indebtedness of
Klickitat county, among other things, it
says:
The county cannot exist and maintain
its organization with such condition of
finances and every one should be in
terested in strengthening out the tangle.
Building of roads and bridges and all
other expenses, whether necessary or
unnecessary. must be cut off until the
Improvements and benefits we have al
ready enjoyed have been paid for.
There is nothing but sound sense in
these suggestions. Counties and cities
ought to manage their business in the
same manner that conservative careful
business men manage theirs; when they
have not the means to obtain what they
desire, find a way to do without it;
make expenditures come within the in
come. But it is much easier to spend
money than to devise means to avoid.
spending it., and county commissioners
and city councils too often adopt the
easiest course; the inevitable follows
and the municipality suddenly awakes
to the realization of bankruptcy.
We sincerely hope Klickitat county's
efforts to recover it's financial health Will
be entirely successful.
