portance to the town has come be-
fore our citizens for many months,
and large number of business men
should attend this evening and by
presence, at least, lend encourage
ment to the work the Commercial
Club is trying to do. Merchants,
capitalists and professional men are
all interested In the expansion of
our city's trade. The opportunity is
offered US of attracting business
from rich and extensive country,
and it is part of wisdom to hasten
an acceptance. A large attendance
at the meeting tonight will show that
our business men are awake to the
citv's needs and encourage those to
whom the work of investigating the

FROM THE FRYING PAN INTO
THE FIRE.

Already the rush to Alaska is
having disastrous results. The in
flux of miners has been SO great that
there is neither food nor accommo.
tion for those who have rushed
northward in search of gold. The
stores that come from Juneau indi-
cate that trouble IS imminent and
that the men who have been disap-
pointed in their hopes will resort to
extreme measures.
The eagerness with which these
deluded men took advantage of the
cheap transportation rates to seek
another land is only another evil
dence of the unsatisfactory condi-
tions that exist in this country.
The good times promised by the
Democratic party have failed to
come, and in their place we have dis
organization and distress.
Not until a protective system is
again in force and currency estab-
lished beyond danger Of debasement
will the conditions change for the
better. It is idle to talk of revived
prosperity till these conditions are
brought about. Until that time cap
ital will be unwilling to invest, and
without capital there is no work
for the laboring man.

to Portland go through Wallula
instead of making connections at
Pendleton as formerly 1t is thought
by some pessimistic souls that the
change will injure Pendleton some
what in business way. While this
fear is undoubtedly unfounded, yet a
city that depends entirely upon rail-
road communication does not pos
sess the resources for growth that
belong to a place situated as The
Dalles is upon navigable river.
The Dalles once was dependent
upon the whim of a single railroad,
but that condition has been done
away through the labors of energetic
citizens, and by the agency of our
boat line we have competitive rates
that prevent exorbitant freight
charges.

its greatest treasure the Columbia

commerce of a great empire will
some day float to the sea.
. The building of good roads into
the interior and the establishment of
one or more manufactures will give
this city such an impetus that atten-
tioD will be attracted to it from all
over the coast.

Walla Walla Statesman: It was an
nounced a few months ago that the locks
at the Cascades would be completed by
March 1st. When that date came it
was suddenly discovered that the walls
of the channel were not safe, and that
many thousands of dollars and several
years of labor would yet be necessary in
order to make the locks of any practical
service. The people of Eastern Wash
inglon have about lost all patience with
these repeated delays. They demand
that the work be pushed to Immediate
completion, and they are ready to vote
for representative in congress, regard
less of party, who will. do most toward
having the work of improving the
channel of the Columbia pushed to an
early completion. They should make
their will manifest in the congressional
conventions, and thus make sure that
there shall be no further trifing with
this vital question.

COMMENT ABOUT THE LOCKS.

Vancouver Colum bian: The Dalles
Chronicle has had it's X rays focused
upon the Cascade locks and after giving
credit to its congressional representa-
tives says: The men whom we distrust
are the government engineers and the
contractors. Oar faith in them is at a
low ebb. In the interest of suffering
people it is to be hoped that if this
money is secured from congress it will
be so distributed that the purpose for
which it was appropriated may be
served.
xx*
Troutdale Champion: Is it possible
that for fear of not getting the last ap-
preparation granted, which was at that
time thought sufficient to complete
them, that this work was not taken in
consideration, thus not only deceiving
congress-, but the farmers who have
waited so long and patiently to see the
Cascade locks completed? 1t is about
time the government put stop to this
procrastination as to when the locks
should be opened by granting the neces-
sary funds and insisting upon the entire
work being completed with no more
spasmodic Jobs tackled on.

SHOW THE OLD FLAG.
A bay for the Exhibition Of the stars

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-Chairman Jones
of the Democratic national committee
has issued the following appeal:
The American flag has always been tho
ways remain so. II 10 too sacred to be
prostituted to partisan purposes, as has
been attem pied for the hrst time in this
campaign. Its influence has always been
for good for mankind. Its display is al
ways potent for the advancement for all
that is best in our government, for II ap-
peals to every sentiment of patriotism
and national pride. I therefore suggest
that on Saturday, October 81, all those
who desire to preserve the country's
honor and independence, as it came to %
from the fathers, who believe in the
rights Of every man, rich or poor, to cast
free and untrammeled ballot, who op.
pose government By corporations and
the coercion OF voters, and desire that
real and genuine prosperity may once
again return to bless our people, display
the national colors at their homes, their
places of business aud wherever else they
may be seen, In order that voters whose
hearts are for their country may be
oheered and their purposes stfsngt gtheped,
and that those who are wavering may
take courage Of their patriotism TO per-
form their duty % citizens, ITO the end
that government Of the people, by the
people and for the people shall NOT per-
ish from the earth." JAS. 4. Jonls,

CONSUMPTlVES' INSURANCE.
Great Corporations Going Into the
Sanitarium Business to save the
Lives Of Patrons.

A New York press dispatch of date
Monday last sets up this novel argument
which is of direct local interest:
Hereafter it will pay a man to insure
his life before he becomes consumptive,
for then the insurance companies will
take ex.ell mt c.re of him in the hop of
keeping him alive. The large and enor-
mously wealthy insurance companies are
considering scheme to prolong human
life. 1t ia not a new born spirit of phil
antrophy which has actuated them, but
strictly business-like, though in every
way laudable, desire to save themselves
from financial loss by availing them
selves of the best medical skill and ap-
pliances.
"Steps are now being taken by these
mpanies which will result in the build
ing of sanitarium for the express pur.
pose of prolonging the lives of censump-
tive policy holders. They believe they
will be able to save an immense amount
of money by providing sanltariums for
those of their patrons who are afflicted
with tuberculosis, instead of allowing the
disease to proceed unchecked until it re-
suits in premature death. The sanitar-
ium will fulfill the medical and surgical
ideal. Every method known to science
and art will be employed and every
theory advanced by the great scientists
of the world to check the invasion of the
dread disease will be promptly tried, 30
that hereafter the oonsumptive who is
fortunate enough to hold policy in some
of the companies connected with The san
itarium may feel CO onfident that he will be
enabled to live as long as there is any
human way of keeping the breath of life
in his body. To those knowing little of
the insurance business it might appear
that the taking of the risks on tuberculo-
sis cases would inevitably result in great
loss. But at present many persons in
the incipient stages of consumption are
insured every year, for it is difficult for
the examining physician to detect the
earlier stages of the disease where the
symptoms are carefully hidden, as is apt
10 be the case"
