The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1897-09-25

Hon. T. T. Geer is becoming an i'm
portant factor in Oregon politics, ana
from present appearances is destined
to create another faction in the repub-
lican party. The Mitchell element is
hsaping abuse upon him, because he
would not acknowledge to the world
that he was chronic office seeker,
and accept any sort of position that
might be offered him. Mr.. Geer was
an aspirant for a certain office. and
had the endorsement of at least half
the prominent republicans in the
state. When the delegation recon-
manded him for another place, it was
a slap in the face of every man who
endorsed MIN for the collectorship. 1t
was saying the delegation was the re-
publican party of The state, bigger
than all the rest. Mr.. Geer has shown
good judgment and has acted the man
in refusing the s'sop" offered him.

TRAILS CLOSING UP.
Winter Has Set In on Chilkoot and White
Passes.


VICTORIA, 3. c., Sept. 22.-The
steamer Queen, which arrived this
morning, brought back so miuers, who
decided to wait until spring before
proceeding to the Klondike. Winter
has set in in earnest at White and
Chilkoot passes, there being four feet
of snow on the SUBMITS, and ice Is
forming in the small streams.
Those who got over now have to go
by dog train, as horses are no longer
any use, and animals for which men
refused $500 and S4OO can be bought for
s.. A large number of men are going
10 Juneau to winter, but many will
come south and make fresh starts in
the spring.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-"This coun-

These are the words of Assistant

This government may possibly get
into war with Spain over the Cuban
trouble, and if it does, it will be just
war. The United States cannot afford
to allow American citizens to be mur-
dered and their property confiscated by
an arrogant nation like Spain, even
though resenting the insult may
bring on war. Neither can it close
its eyes to the slaughter of patriots
who are struggling for independence.
If war comes with Spain it will be
cheerfully accepted by the patriotic
people of America.

Among all the coal operators, Charles
Devlin, of Illinois, stands pre- emip ent-
ly st the head of the list as the friend
of the laboring men. He acknowled yes
that the miners do not receive suffi-
cient wages to enable them to feed and
clothe themselves, and insists that
slavery would be preferable to their
present condition. Devlin is anxious
to join the other operators in raising
the scale of wages. He wants to live,
and at the same time wants his men
to be comfortably clothed and fed. If
all operators were like Devlin, there
would be no strikes.
The New York World has never
