For Congressman
COL. N. B. SINNOTT
Paper Money

Speaking of his candidacy to a rep
resentative of this paper the Colonel
said: "You see I spsnt five years of
my life in the mines of California, Ida
no and Nevada. I know from eXper-
ience the hardships and dangers of the
mining camp. would avoid all these
by abolishing the use of gold and sill
yer as money and substituting paper
in quantities sufficient to place every
man above the reach of want. Thus
the tens of thousands who are hourly
endangering their lives in the mines
could devote their energies to raising
cabbages, turnips and potatoes. When
my party gets into power I will have
barrels of paper money on tap on
every street corner with notices to the
people to come and help themselves.
Don't you think I'll carry the district
on that layout? OF course will. Free
silver won't be in it any more"

TO EDUCATE THE YOUTHS.
The State Board of Horticulture Passes
Resolutions

Resolutions.
At recent meeting of the stat.
board of horticulture the following
preamble and resolutions, asking tha
horticulture be taught in the public
schools, were adopted:
Whereas, for some time during the
| past, it has seemed to the several mem.
bers of the state board of horticulture
of the state of Oregon that there is a
great necessity for more rudimentary
knowledge among our people on the
subjsct of horticulture: and
Whereas, this occupation is fast be.
coming our greatest industry, and one
in which the general public is aud
should be interested; and
"Whereas it would be life long
benefit to the recipients whether
life's labor was spent in country or
city occupation; and
Whereas, It is impossible for the
state bosrd in its work to reach the
youths of our land in its fundamental
instruction as they desire; therefore
Resolved, that it is the Judgment
of this board that the state board of
public instruction should take meas
ures to introduce into the puolic
schools of this state rudimentary line
of instruction in horticulture, as the
elements Of our education to
fit men ana women for intelligent
labor on the farm or in the orchard"
Since horticulture is becoming
leading industry in the state, and is
certain to become one of the most
profitable occupations, it would be
profitable to give all students in the
public schools instructions in this
branch. and it could profitably be
made one of the branches required to
be taught.

Better Than Gold.

John D. MCGOWAN. of Chinook,
WASH, says he expects to witness the
day when the Columbia river Chinook
salmon product will reach 100000
cases. This will be brought about by
regulating the season and by artificial
propagation. Natural propagation
will not do it, as more care will have
to be taken of the spawn if the best re-
suits are to be obtained. The aband-
onment of spawn to its enemies and
the natural hardships it Is bound to
encounter before young salmon can
rustic for themselves is the principal
drawback to propagation. Artificial
help and supervision is what is needed,
and Mr.. MCGOWAN says it is only a
question of time when we will get it..
The salmon of the Columbia is not
only our choicest good fish, but a
source of wealth far more desirable
than gold or silver.

Rev. Gibson of Emanuel church,
San Francisco, who gained unenviahle
notoriety in the consequence of the
murder OF Blarch Lamont and Minnie
Williams, preached a sermon last
Sunday to prove that the story OF
Jonah being swallowed by whale was
not legend, but divinely recorded
truth of history. He showed that a
big fish could swallow man, that
God made the fish for this special
purpose, that Jonah was the same as
dead when in the fsh's belly, yet
kept up such kicking and squirm-
ing that the fish was glad to get rid
of him. and finally, that the story was
not only literally true, but it went to
prove the literal truthfulness Of all
other bible stories.

a Pleasant Afternoon.

Mrs. Smith French and Mrs. j., W.
Condor gave an exceedingly pleasant
afternoon to their friends on Wednes.
day, May 9Th. The handsome rooms
of the Smith French residence, dec
grated with flowers and potted plants,
filed with ladies in gala attire made
gay scene, and the merry voices and
constant hum of conversation told that
all were enjoying the occasion. To
add variety, cards beautifully orna-
mented with a painted branch of pine
and cones, were handed around; while
written on them was a play of words,
of the names of trees to be guessed.
Several ladies gave fifteen correct an
swers, and the prize, an Australian
silk oak, was decided by lot in favor of
Mrs. Judd Fish. After a sumptous
repast the party bade adieu to their
hostess with congratulations on the
pleasure they had given. Those pre-

Kootenai's Output.

The value of the output for the
Kootenai country for the present year
has been variously estimated at from
s5,0oO,09o to sl0,0oo,ooo. The latter
sum would seem nearer the mark, says
the Spokesman-Review. The SLOGAN
Star alone will ship ore and concen-
trates between the 1st of May and the
3lst of December which run over ST.
100000. The Hall mine should pro-
duce close to. S1,000,000 this. year.
This, with the product of the Trial
Creek mines, and the other mines in
the SLOGAN, which are every month in
creasing their product, and the North
Star mine, which has contracted for
the delivery of 5000 tons this year, will
make an amount which will crowd S10,'
000, 900 pretty closely.

For the sake of Humanity.

Candidates for congress in this dis
trict are respectfully notified that they
may expect a formidable opponent
in the genial senior member of the
firm of Sinnott & Fish, he having an.
nounce1 himself as a candidate on a
paper-money platform. The Colonel
says he is actuated to do this from a
humanitarian standpoint. Gold and
silver mining is such a hazardous call
ing that hundreds of good men lose
their lives every year in search of the
metals which nations recognize as
money. This sacrifice of life could be
prevented if paper were substituted, as
a medium of exchange, therefore for
The sake of humanity the colonel pro-
poses to lead great reform measure.

a CHANCE FOR eoLDENDALE.
1t May Yet Get Transportation Facilities
Equal to a Railroad.

| Equal to Railroad.
Goldendale has been waiting for a
railroad almost as long as The Dalles
like The Dalles, when it's fondest hopes
seemed almost to be realized, they
have vanished as if by magic. Pro-
iect after project for building rail-
road into the fertile Klickitat valley
has fallen through, and the probability
of one being built seems further re-
moved even than the com pletion OF
the locks at the Cascades. But an in
ventive genius, Mr.. L. II. Campbell,
practical engineer, of Portland, has
wagons and traction engine that bids
fair to solve the problem of furnishing
transportation facilities for localities
located as is Goldendale, and contem-
plates going to that city for the pur-
pose of laying his plan before the
people of Klickitat county, with the
| proposition of forming a joint-stocls
company and putting his apparatus in
use.
Mr.. Campbell Is in the city and has
his model on exhibition at Snipes & |
Kinersley's drug store. It consists of |
number of trucks so coupled together |
that all keep in the exact track of the |
lead truck in rounding curves. Hither- /
to the difficulty in operating train of |
road wagons drawn by traction engines |
has been in keeping the wagons in
line while rounding curves; each
wagon would diverge from the track
made by the engine, making shorter
circuit than the engine or the wagon
directly preceding it, thus rendering
it impossible to travel over winding
roads. By q peculiar system of coup
ling, Mr.. Campbell proposes to over
come this difficulty. Both the forward !
and rear axles OF the wagon are on a
pivot, while the coupling is joined by
a triangle in the center Of the car by
which the rear wheels are made to
follow the track of the forward wheels
no matter how short the curve. He ,
has also invented a.powerful traction
engine with four drive wheels, similar ,
to railroad locomotive, which he be- -.
lieyes will be able to draw a train of
six or eight cars up an ordinary grade.
The invention appears to be practi-
cable, and if it fills the expectation of
the inventor, will revolutionize the
system of transmitting freight where !.
there are no railroads and where rail-
roads will never be built. as he be-
ieves he can move freight for one-half
,be cost of hauling it with teams.
His invention may result in furnishing h
. substitute for railroad into klicki- !.
,at valley, and if taken hold of by the 8
people OF that section can be con- n
,tructed in time to move their wheat "
,rop this season. :.

Had Three Names,

The Columbia river has had three
names. 1t was first called the Oregon
and afterwards it was called the Saint
Rogue, but when it was discovered by
Robert Gray, in 1892, it was given the
name of his vessel, the Columbia, in
place of the two floating appellations-
Oregon and Saint Rogue. According
to Whitney, the original nameof the
river was the Orejon. "hig ear" or
tone that has big ears" the allusion
being to the custom of the Indians,
who were found in its region, OF
stretching their ears ty boring them
and crowding them with ornaments.

front OF an open window. The couple
proved their marriage, and Justice
Abercrombie decided that married
couple had perfect right to make
love in their own window with both
the shade and window up. The case
was appealed to the city court and
Judge Nelson confirmed the decision
of Judge Abercronbie. The case will
now be carried to the county court and
an attempt will be made on the insan-
ity dodge, and it is not unlikely the
couple will be sent to the insane asy.
lum, for in this country no sane man
was ever caught sparkling his own
wife,"

it to be a practice among candidates
to go among you to personally present

l wish to state my reasons for not COM
plying. First, my business Is such
that cannot afford the time; second,

and am fairly we'll acquainted with the

cessfully. AS 1 said in the oonvestion

my friends. If elected, shall appre.
ciate the honor, and FILL the Office to
the Jest of my ability.
My service to my race has been al
most exclusively in educational work.
A greater part of which has been Ia

be required. To accomplish this work
there are no available funds, and un-
less the sundry civil bill shall become
a law, there is no possibility OF the
locks being opened this season. The
Messrs. Day protest that they are anx-
ious that the locks shall be opened,
but claim to be powerless to do any
thing to hasten the matter, and appear
most Indifferent to the wishes Of the
the people concerning the matter.

AFRAID OF MOORE.
A Sherman County Farmer Gives Some
Timely Advice.

A Sherman County Farmer Gives Some
Timely Advice.
Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
My attention has just been called to
an item in The Dalles Chronicle OF
yesterday, saying that metropolitan
nominees for the legislature are all in
favor of free transportation facilities
for Sherman county, and in case the
portage road project is carried out
some aid from the state may be neces-
sary, aud would be secured if the the
republican candidates were elected.
This might be true about Mr.. Michel,
Mr.. Huntington and Mr.. Jones. They
might stand in with the people of
Sherman county to get a portage road
or some other kind of road that
would give US an outlet to market,
but we can't expect anything from Mr..
Moore. When the proposition was
made to build the Rattlesnalse road,
am told MIR. Moore opposed it strongly,
because it would give the Sherman
county farmers show to get to The
Dalles to do their trading, and he
would thereby lose some trade.
If Mr.. Moore would oppose the build
ing of a wagon road, because it might
interfere with his busi ness, can we ex-
peet he would be any more liberal if
he should so to the legislature? In
this part of Sherman county we have
an idea that if Mr.. Moore was to be
elected to the legislature he would
work for Mr.. Moore and nobody else,
and we are afraid to take chances on
him. We cannot afford to take
chances on sending man to the legis-
lature who has shown himself so self
ish, and would adyise all Of the farm
ers to vote for man who is more lib
eral. 3: FARMER.
