Let Us All Prosper.

Crops have been good and prices are
high, and we are glad indeed to note
that most of our farmers are in prosper
Gus condition. 1t puts them in position
to lift the mortgage from the farm, to
settle up old store bills, and to once
more be relieved of the worry attending
hard times. One of the smallest bills
they owe is that to the country news
paper, and this is one they should be
first to pay. There is no business that
80 quickly feels the existence of hard
times as the newspaper. Much as the
farmer may desire to keep the paper
visiting him every week, it is one of the
things he can get along without. AS a
! compensation for this the newspaper
should be the first to feel the easing up
of money and the returns from bounti-
full crops.
Let THE CHRONICLE, which has cheer
fully waited for its pay through the
years of adversely, be able to rejoice
with you in bounteous crops, good prices
and improved conditions.

RAN OVER BY A WORK TRAIN.
Willie waud Rolls Under the Wheels of
y the Work Train and Is Badly
Crippled.

Yesterday afternoon at Mosier, Willie
NWaud, aged 6 years, was run over by
the work train and received probably
fatal injuries.
He was living with his grand parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Waud, who reside
at Mosier, his father working at the
Johns mill. With his grandmother he
had been at the store and on the way
home the work train passed them.
Willie ran up to the fence, which at
that point was built close to the track
and on the brink of steep bank. He
climbed on the fence to watch the train
go by, and somehow lost his balance
and rolled under the cars. His right
leg was broken and mashed above the
knee, his left shoulder broken and his
left foot badly cut, while his body was
pretty badly bruised.
DIR. Logan was telegraphed for, but
had a case on his hands he could not
leave. The railroad company offered to
send the boy here on special, but the
grandparents objected, and DIR. Brosius
was summoned from Hood River. AS
an amputation was judged necessary, he
had the boy brought here and at noon
today, after consultation with Doctors
Logan and HoIlister, the operation was
determined upon. The poor little fellow
was placed under the influence of anas
thetics, and DR.. Hollister, assisted by
Doctors Brosius and Logan, amputatet
the leg about five inches above the knee
The chances are largely against the boy
surviving the shock, but he las fight
! ing chance for his life.

John Carter, a freighter, while on his
way from Heppner to John Day, met
with an accident Monday that will in all
probability cost him leg. One of the
front wheels of his wagon broke while
going down a steep hill. He was thrown
under the wagon, which passed over his
leg, crushing it in frightful manner.
The team ran away. The wagon was
total wreck, and part of the load was
ruined. One horse was killed.
A demented man of the name of
Woods, who has been roaming in the

The managers of the fair have done
their part in arranging tor the fair; the
citizens of The Dalles have done theirs
in subscribing literally for the purses
for the speed contests, and all that re-
mains to be done to make the fair a sue
cess is that the farmers should display
their products and the citizens take al
interest, and the fair will be a granC
success. We suggest that on this occa
sion such farmers as have grown an!
sugar beets bring them in and exhibi
them, and that arrangements be mad
for shipping the lot to San Francisc
and having them tested.

News Travels in a Circle.

A pretty romance is told by the Bath,
Maine, Independent. The steamer
Arcata, of which Captain Albert Reed
of Woolwich, Me-, is commander, was
steaming from San Francisco to Port
land, Or, when it was hailed by row
boat, containing two anxious individ-
uals. The Maine captain stopped and
took them i'll. They were stalwart
youth and pretty maid and this was
their story:
That their course of true love had
been ruff1ed by the maids father and
they had determined to elope in this
curious manner. Then they asked the
captain from Maine to marry them, for
it seems there is law permitting this
if the steamer is sufficiently far from
land. The captain said, MARRY you?
Of course I w1ll,' and the bridal party
mounted the pilot house and the fol-
lowing ceremony was performed: "Do
you, John, take this girl. Mary, to be
your welded wife, to take care of in
sickness and in health, whether richer
or poorer in sunshine and if it blows
great guns and the wind is dead ahead?"
John said he did. ''And do you, Mary,
the captain continued, "take this man

treats you we'll or i'll, in calm weather
and in squalls and to always behave

silence, sternly remarked: "Well,
that's all, you're marriedp'
The gallant captain took the first kiss
for his fee and gave the young couple a
mighty jolly wedding trip.

he heard some one cry out from the
direction of Chinese Slough He went

hear some one cry out, "Oh! OH" get

which way to go.
Officers Douglas and Ash were noti-

time with graphing irons in an attempt
to recover the body. Their ropes, how

was futile. They say the man sank

QUEER ECONOMY.
A Supervisoria1 Penny-Wise-and-
Pound-Foo1ish System.

Recently a majority of the Supervi-
sors allowed themselves to be persuad-
ed into the idea that they could compel
the daily papers to do the county s
advertising for less money than was
charged merchants and other individu-
ais.
They fixed the rate they were willing
to pay, but the papers refused to accept
advertising at those figures, just as a
storexeeper would refuse to sell a Su
pervisor a. pair of socks worth % cents
for 10 cents, though the Supervisor
might have resolved" over and over
again that he would pay only 10 cents
a pair for socks.
After this action was taken the Su-
pervisors had occasion to advertise for
bids for the sale to the County Hos
pital of $50 cords of white oak wood,
such as can generally be purchased for
about So 80 per cord, or SO at the
most
The advertisement was published in
some weekly paper, where it was not
seen by the men who have wood to SELL
One dealer heard of it, however. and,
doubtless, believing he was the only
one who had "got onto it, he put in
bid for ST per cord, and it was accepted.
Sure enough, there were no other bid
ders. and now the county will pay from
500 to $50 more for its wood than
if it had spent so in advertising for
bids through the regular channels.
How much more Will be lost in the
same way remains to be seen. There
are frequent calls for bids for work in
volving large sums, and it makes some
difference to the county whether or not
there is competition for its favors.
