placed in nomination William F. Villas

and shouting, and the band played when

this never phased the old squire in the
honest conviction that all this TODD was
over him, and in the midst of the enthusi-
asm he assembled the platform and SOL
EMMY assured the convention of his ac-
ceptance of the honor which had been con-
ferred on him.
There was a painful suspense in the hall,
and everybody realized that an embar-
RAISING misunderstanding had been Gre
ated. For a while none of the delegates
could find an explanation adequate to the
distressing situation. But finally one OF
the, delegates timidly rose to his feet and
said:
Squire, reckon there is misunder-
standing here. This nomination was in
tended for young Bill"
What, young Bill for governor? Not
much. He can wait just as well. If any
body by the name of Villas takes the
nomination it's William F. Villas, Sr."
The old man said it, rufied his broTs
into Jove-like frown, and sat down But
the convention nominated him, and young
Bill had to wait until the magic name OF
Cleveland conjured up a new era in demo-
cratic history, which superseded the re-
gime of the elder Villas

Senator Villas never dawned as a eras

Wisconsin democrats sent him to the Chit

Cleveland for the presidency. For MANY
weary years the man who has since made
such brilliant reputation as a cabinet
officer and member of the United States
Senate was overshadowed and obscured
by his father. The elder Villas had an

reached that degree of self-persI1asio,1

members of another party. We are will

not willing that third partyites shall come

same as we, who have never faltered or

press and people of The Dalles. Repre-
sentatives from Hood River declare that
the rates, as allowed by the county
court, are much too high, and exceed
the cost for which cordwood, poles, etc.,
have been loated down the river before.
If such be the case, some members of
the county court have been misled, and
if any wrong has been done to the prop
erty.owners along Hood River, the
blame can easily be placed where it be-
longs, and the freedom from any inten-
ton of unjust action on the side of GER
Next Saturday afternoon a mass meet
ing will be held in Hood River, at which
this matter will be fully discussed, and
the opponents of the lease claim that
facts and figures will be stated which
are in accord with those mentioned in
Mr.. Parker's letter.
AS stated before, this paper has abso-
lutely no interest in the matter beyond
wish to see justice done, the inter
ests of the people of Hood River pro-
tected, and the welfare of the country
preserved. 1t is best, in matters of this
kind, to be cautious in forming a judg'
ment, and further comment had better
be reserved until the people of Hood
River have fully submitted their case
which will be done at the Saturday
meeting. The matter is a serious one
and opinions should not be formed toe
hastily. OF one thing we are certain
that the county court has acted with
the best of intentions, and if mistake
has been made, the error was one O.
judgment, not design.

And it is worth, on board cars, 81 to
S2.25. Now, the company would get 75
cents out of every cord, and they would
be at an expense of 10 or Is cents, and I
would lose from 35 to 60 cents on each
cord. 1t must be observed there is no
charge for timber or stumpage in any of
these estimates.
There is not man along this river
who can cut saw.log, pole or post, or
stick of cordwood and float it down
the river to market outside of the COM
pany. The company has dead cinch
on every stick of timber that is tribu-
tary to Hood river, from the mouth of
the river to Mount Hood (if this con-
tract made between the county court
and the Winans Bros. is valid), and yet
Mr.. Blowers, one of the members of the
county court, said he was pleased and
favorably impressed with the scheme.

If the county can appropriate Hood
river and in that way become possessed
of valuable franchise. why not sell TO
the highest bidder and let the entire
people OF the county receive the benefit.
The com mpany have already had an offer
of $4,000 for the franchise, but seem to
think it worth more or they would have
sold it. If the company wanted the
lease for speculative purposes the con-
tract could not have been worded much
better.

definite or certain improvements. The
company are their. own judges as to the
improvements they shall make to entitle

was dangerous. But why the cour

things no man can find out, Had they
been drinking men that might accoun

is they are lot of mollycoddles.

THE GRAND JURY AND THE CITY
COUNCIL.

County politics may be said to be
fairly launched by the report OF the
grand jury, handed in Yesterday. After
being in session three days that body
was able to make more recommends
tions over a wider range of topics than
previous juries sitting twice as long have
been capable of doing. In neat nomin-
ating speeches the jury names for re-
election the present county officials, or
those of them whom, during their short
session, the jurymen were able to meet.
The sheriff, the clerk and the treasurer
have all been weighed and found to be
18 carat fine. The conclusion of the
jury on this point will meet with ap-
proval, as tanyone who has watched the
management of these county Offices
knows chat they are filed by competent,
obliging gentlemen. But why cid the
jury not go farther? Since it has gone
to the length of commencing the officers
mentioned to the careful consideration
of the voters just on the eve OF a nomin-
ating convention, why did it not go
through the whole list and give the
people its opinion of our surveyor,
school superintendent and coroner? We
fear lest the friends of these gentlemen
will note the omission and be aggrieved.
The endorsement of candidates by the
jury will not, however, cause any harm,
neither will its criticism of the city
council, though many, including THE
CHRONICLE, think that criticism unwar-
ranted.
Ever since the bonding of the city last
spring it has been the desire and inten-
tion of the mayor and council to run the
city on the cheapest basis possible. It
no alternative. The city is compelled
to pay its claims in cash, and to do this
the expenditures must be kept below
or equal to the receipts. We have been
running on high pressure too long.
Necessity has compelled US to lower it.
With these thoughts in mind. there will
be many who will take exceptions to
the comments of the grand jury. 1t
is true the roads mentioned should be
repaired, both true and desirable, but
under the present existing circumstances
the city is unable to order the expendi-
ture.
AS city, apart from its municipal
government, The Dalles should take
steps toward making these improve
ments. The Commercial Club could
well take up the matter and carry it to
a successful completion. The mayor and
council have enough to do in meeting the
interest on the city bonds and providing
the means for the city's necessary ex-
penses. This is our first year OF trial on
the cash basis, and till we have proved
that our income will more than exceed
our expenses, many necessary city i'm
provements will have to wait. In the
meantime the Commercial Club car
fill the breach.

HOOD RIVER AGAIN.

Elsewhere in this issue is published a
communication from citizen of Hood
River giving his views regarding the
granting of the much talked about lease
to the Hood River LAUNDERING Company,
an action which has caused commo-
tion IN Hood River valley and has
started an agitation and opposition OF
no small proportions. A perusal of Mr..
Parker's letter will lead to the conclu-
sion that there is at least another side
to the matter than that which has been
presented to the county court and to the
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-02-14
AS 1t seems to Mr. Parker.

EDITOR DALLES CHRONICLE
If it is in order, and you will give
space, we will cay our say in regard to
the county court granting the Hood
River LAUNDERING Co. monopoly of
Hood river. For monopoly it is, and
one of the most complete we ever heard
of. This we propose to show by figures
that cannot be controverted.
We take the rates or tolls the said
company is allowed TO charge for trans
porting logs, ETC., as per contract be-
tween said company and the county
court. First, cav logs delivered at
Hood River will cost, say, for run of
twenty-four miles, So per thousand feet.
This is for floating and booming. OF
course the entire cost would be $3.50 or
IS per thousand, including the cutting
and huuling to river bank. Second,
piling, telephone, telegraph poles for a
run of twenty-four miles from up the
river. PilIng or pole thirty feet long
would cost, delivered in the boom, So, or
10 cents per lineal foot. This is exclu-
sive of the cutting, peeling and hauling
to the river bank. Market price is 8
cent per lineal foot delivered on the rail-
road. Third, cordwood, say same dis
tance as above, would cost per cord, de-
lIvered in the boom:

Wood is worth, on board cars at Hood

posts would cost, delivered in the boom
at Hood River, cents each, just for
floating and booming, to say nothing
about the making and hauling to river
bank. And they are worth AZ to 5
cents each delivered on board cars at
Hood River.
1t may be said twenty-four miles is
not a fair average distance, but there is
not much good timber short of twenty
four miles up the river. But we will
estimate the nearest timber, and see
how the account will stand. I live
three miles up the river and have 1000
cords of wood, at low estimate. OF
course it is standing IN the tree. and it
is SO situated it ought to be run down
