Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and unheathful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is prominently land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of salt water coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpOn, pompanO, and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State, The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of nature, the sportsman aud the explorer.
To this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonally-conducted tours during the season of
1897. leaving by special train January 2B,
February and 23, and March o. The first
three tours will admit of a sOjOurn of two
weeks in this delightful land; tickets for the
fourth tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains,
Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from New
York, $4s 90 from Philadelphia, and proper
tiouate rates from other points.
For tickets, itineraries and other informa-
ton apply TO ticket agents, special booking
offices, or address Geo. w. Boyd, Assistant
General Passenger Agent, Broad street station,

THE DEATH LIST GROWS
Twenty-four Known Dead from
the Oahaba Bridge Wreck.

George E. Evans, Superintendent of Trans
portation of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, stnI Maintains That the Hor-
ror Was Not an Accident.

ror Was Not an Accident.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 29.-The death
list from sunday wreck at Cahaba river,
whereby a Birmingham Mineral railroad
train dropped through a bridge 40 feet
high on the Southern railway, appears now
to have grown TO twenty-four. This in
cludes the death of w. ID. Rast, a bridge
foreman, who was killed in second
wreck, which resulted from "a collision of
construction trains at the scene Of the
first disnster six hours after the bridge
catastrophe.
Iwenty-One bodies wore taken from Ca
habn river, and since then IL has been as
certained that 5. w. Tibbs and wife, who
boarded the i'll fated train at Gurnee for
Adger are missing Tibbs and his wife
had been on a visit to the latters father,
noar Gurnee. They went to Gurnee early
Sunday morning aud boarded the train.
Since then nothing has been seen or heard
o. them, 80 far as can be ascortained.
lheir bodies were not found and their
absence can only be accounted for by the
surmise that they must have burned up
in the wreck. The railroad authorities say
that they have received indefinite in
qulries about the Tibbs family, but know
nothing OF them.
There was little of the debris at the
scene Of the wreck yesterday. Mr.. Bry-
son, who was listed among the fatally in
jurod, Is now numbered among the dead.
He lived for twenty-four hours in great
agony He was frightfully mangled and
burned When the train made It's awful
plunge Mr.. Bryson did not at first GO
to the bottom. He was caught between
the limbs of tree, about twenty yhye feet
above the river bed The flames from the
burning cars below brought him to a con-
sciousness of his perilous position. He
managed TO extricate himself, and tell
bleeding and mangled to the river bottom
into two feet of water He then pulled
himself underneath "a large rock and pro-
tected to some extent by the running
water, he escaped the flames, but was not
able long to survive his injuries.
Several persons from Blockton, who
were early on the scene of the wreck, still
declare that twenty-seven bodies were
taken out of the river, and that the rail
road authorities are still mistaken in the
number killed. The Blockton people seem
to think that several bodies were taker
away by friends before the relief train lef
on its return trip with the dead and
! wounded. The railroad officials, however
are firm in this statement, that only
twenty-One oorpses were recovered. They
say all reports to the contrary are wilC
rumors.
The fact still remains, however, that i
is impossible to know just how many pas
sengers were on the train, and who the,
were or whore they were going.

LEGISLATIVE. CANDIDATES AT
TENTION!

The next candidates for the state legis-
1ature should be forced before election
yes before nomination-to place them
selves on record upon several questions
OF Importance to the people of the state,
and to so place themselves on record
that there can be no oraclee-quivocating
afterwards. Among some of these ques-
tions we suggest: What legislation
should there be with respect to the COM
pensation of governor, secretary of state
and state treasurer.
The constitution fixes their compen-
sation, but statutes have passed in di-
rect contravention of the constitution,
adding fees to their salaries. These
laws appear to be unconstitutional, but
If the prosecuting officers of the state
had the courage to bring the question to
the supreme court, we have no doubt
that wise tribunal would follow the pre-
cedent of the Eastern Oregon asylum
case and say that as they pertain to the
executive department the courts must
have nothing to say. Another question
with respect to which would-be legisla-
tors should make known their position
is that of salaries of county officers. The
number OF good men who now are urg-
ing their services upon the county, in
dicates that there is no danger of a
strike if the salaries should be reduced

OUR TAXES,

Taxes within the limits of Dalles City
are too high, and before we can enjoy
the prosperity which has so long been
promised and which we have so long an
ticipated, some means must be devised
to reduce them. The local press has
long advertised the great advantages of
this city, geographically and CONNER
cially, and has repeatedly pointed out
the great Importance of establishing in
our midst enterprises which will give
employment to laborers and create a
home market for our abundant fruit and
vegetable gardens. our farms and our
stock ranges. We will continue to
preach and urge and appeal with no
better result than in the past, unless by
some heretofore unknown economy on
the part of those who handle public
funds, our taxes are reduced. New born
manufacturing enterprises cannot live
and pay an annual tax of 81 mills. The
Dalles must remain a small trading
town, way station in the commercial
system of our state, or we must SO con-
duct public affairs as that taxation will
not be the oppressive burden it has so
long been and is now.
Portland groans and its newspapers
growl, and its taxpayers almost rebel be-
cause taxes are oppressive, yet with all
its bonds, its commissioners, its classical
high school, its extravagant city hall,
its poorly paved streets, its parks, its
courts and its hobos, its taxes are ac-
tually less than in our small city. This
should not be.
We do not undertake to point out
where the fault lies, but the taxpayers
Of the city should find where it lies. for
1T certainly exists somewhere, and be-
fore another county election devise some
scheme to alleviate the trouble.
