/ West Dalles is comiIg to the front and
will soon be the sw ell residence part of
the city. Strangers Invariably remark
as to the number of pretty homes in The
Dalles, and truly, WI len we consider the
many confagrationsw we have had, it is
remarkable that SUCH is the case. We
understand a numbef of residences are
to be built in the spring, among them
one by e. q. Pease, on his lot on Fourth

There is rumor abroad to the effect
that party of ''sportsmen" from near
Troutdale recently used dynamite in
Clear Lake in the vicinity of Mt. Hood,
and killed very large number of trout
1t is said that HOO of these fish were
sent to the Portland market, and that
there were many dead ones left in the
lake. There was quite party of mis-
creants engaged in the slaughter of
trout, and their identity is known to
Portland people who intend to see that
they are punished. This is a most de-
'picable violation of the game law, and
any who have spark of honor about
them would scorn to take hand in any
such proceedings.
Adolph A. Dekum, who has Just re-
turned from an extended two-months'
trip hrough the East, finds that the
people of the Pacific coast, and especial
ly OF Oregon, enjoy many blessings which
they do not appreciate. First among
them he mentions the climate, which,
at this season, although we deem it al
most unbearable, is far superior to any,
thing he found in the East, where the
heat is very oppressive and the nights
are almost as warm as the day. Mr..
Dekum also says: "The good ship Or
egon is great ad for our state. 1 told
everybody that she was just like the
state OF Oregon-the best, the safest, and
always to be found in the right place at
the right time. and has no equal any.

Contemplate Jealousy.

1t will be just as well for us if we
abandon some of our nsular notions.
The plea of America for Americans
and the Munroe Doctrine, good of
course, so far as it goes, seems to get
us some enemies in South America,
where we reasonably might look for
sympathy. Here is what an Argen-
tine Spaniard says of us: "Once the
United States has increased her navy,
and we Spanish-Americans will be
able to do nothing without her con-
sent, and Europe will suffer equally.
My only hope for freedom is that the
Unsuitable lust of conquest by the
United States may in the end be the
means Of breaking up their confeder-
alton" Let us softly whistle, as we
go about our affairs, at the frame of
mind which dictated these sentiments
about us.

State Politics.

The announcement from Brattle-
boro that Windham county will
make every effort to nominate w. H..
Bracket for state treasurer at the
coming republican state convention
not only indicates that there will be
the liveliest kind of a contest for this
Office, but is additional evidence that
DR.. Holton OF Brattleboro will not
be a formidable candidatef for lieuten-
ant.governor. AS Mr.. Bates of St.
Johnsbury was first in the field and
is the ablest candidate of the three
who are supposed to be in the race
it looks very much like a walk-over
for the St. Johnsbury man. John
Harris Of the Burlington Clipper pre-
dicted some weeks ago that Mr..
Bates would be nominated by accla-
nation and it begins to look as il
our former townsman was a true
prophet. II the governor and lieu
tenant-governor are nominated by
reclamation that will be unprece-
denied in the history of Vermont
politics. But why not?

Mr.. Gladstone married in 1889 the
eldest daughter of Sir Stephen Richard
Glynn, and in 1874, by virtue OF her
right. succeeded to Hawarden estate in
Wales, covering nearly seven thousand
acres. 1t was in the beautiful library OF
the castle that he became convert to
Mr.. Parnell's ideas respecting the gov
eminent of Ireland, and entered into the
perilous enterprise of convincing first the
Cabinet, then Parliament, and finally the
country, that after four centuries OF lail-
ure to engraft English civilization upon
Irish stock it was time to leave Ireland
to grow from roots imbedded in her own
soil. 1t was in the same library that he
challenged DR.. Newman to take up the
gauntlet thrown down in "Vaticianism,"
and engaged in manifold literary, theo-
ligical and political controversies. In
Hawarden church, near the castle, is the
oak desk where Mr. Gladstone has read
the church lessons on many Sunday to
the parish folk, for throughout his lie he
was devoted churchman, unduly i'm
pressed at one time with Tractarian
arguments, but always liberal and cath
Ollie in questions of religious controversy.

Spanish Opinions.

A Chicago journal has translated
several news items from the Mad
rid papers which will interest Ameri-
can readers. AS the Chicago paper
remarks, although Columbus dis
covered these continents over 400
years ago, Spain has yet to discover
America. Here are three opinions.
All the troops of the Yankees are in the
far western part of the country, many
thousand miles from the Atlantic coast.
There are only few thousand men all
told, and they are ill-paid and ill-fed, and
not willing to fight. To utilize this force
it will be necessary to bring it to the
eastern seaboard. There is but one rail-
way by which it can be transported, and
that is an old and poorly constructed
affair. At one place this railroad passes
over Niagara Falls, cataract 1000 feet
high, near Labrador.-[The Heraldo.
News is brought to us that Buffalo
Bill, a notorious outlaw and leader Of a
band of half-breeds, has risen against the
American government, and is burning
towns near his birthplace in New York.

Railroad Business in I8o6-o7.

The preliminary report on the income
account of the railways of the United
States for the year ended June 80, 1897,
prepared under the auspices OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, has just
made its appearance. The number Of
lines represented in the report is TAB,
whose total mileage on the date named
was 1S0,027, a decrease Of 1855 miles
from the number covered in thereport for
previous year. This accounts for about
81 per cent. of the total railway mileage
of the United States. From passenger
service the roads earned 1914, 1853, SIG;
from freight, $773, 1893, 253. The other
earnings, such as car mileage, switching
charges, rents and interest on invest
ments, were $2S, 155, 4S4. The gross
earnings for the year were 81, 116,613,
254. The operating expenses amounted
to STAT ,562, 1893. Thegross earnings per
mile Of roads was $6,202, decrease Of
$118 mile from the earnings of 1896.
The net earnings were $1,000 mile,
against $2,072 in 1896. Mile earnings
have steadily decreased since 1892, in
which year the gross earnings we're ST.
213 and net earnings were $2,404.
During the year there was paid in the
way of fixed charges, interest on bonds,
etc, $347 1899, 1872, leaving $55, 1878, $50
for dividends and surplus for the year.
The dividends declared amounted to $751;
290,579, showing deficit OF 81, 412,-
800 in the income account ofthe railways
as a whole. Against this, however, it
should be stated that the deductions
from the income previously mentioned
include about $30,000,O00 of dividends
paid upon the stock of leased lines and
rentals.

Sunday. school Lessons for rooo.'o6.

The International Sunday-school les
son committee met few days since and
mapped out the lessons for the first six
year period of the twentieth century.
Private conversation with various men,
bers of the committee developed num-
Der of facts regarding the lessons. The
series is TO include three years and half
of study in the New Testament, and two
years and half in the Old Testament.
and is to follow line of biography Be-
ginning with 1900 there will be contin-
uous study of the life of Jesus until July
1901. This will be the first time that
eighteen months of unbroken study have
been given to the biography of Christ,
and the lessons will not stop with his re-
surrection, as heretofore, but will follow
him through Johns visions to the home
and throne above and contemplate him
in his glory. In the other lessons for the
series the plan heretofore followed will
be continued, that is, the passages select
ed will not be consecutive, and there will
still be gaps between. Members of the
committee say that no other plan has
been found feasible, but it is believed
that the Bible readings selected TOR 1900
and 1901 will greatly aid in filing up the
gaps. The lesson will still be the same
for adult and infant classes. The demand
for different lesson for the younger class
es proved to be impracticable. The gold.
en- texts are to be selected as often as
possible from the lesson, but always to
do so and at the same time retain the
name, the committee declares to be i'm
possible. AS to length, the lessons will
be shorter rather than longer, and two
didactic lessons will not be given conse-
cutiyely.
