PATRoNlzE HOME INDUSTRIES.
Was a Mistake Made in Awarding the
Contract for Our New W ater Mains?

Much dissatisfaction has arisen over
the action of the board OF water com
missioners in awarding the contract for
improving our water system to the Pa
ci6c Bridge Co., of Portland. It is
claimed that as they reserved the right
to reject any and all bids, and the bids of
the hardware firms OF our city being in
some instances lower than those of the
company to whom it was awarded, they
should have divided the work and thus
given our citizens a chance. For iu-
stance, in the matter of labor the Port
land firm made the lowest bid I; for pipes
one of our hardware firms should have
had the preference, while for gates and
valves the other home firm made the
best offer. In this manner the city could
have saved something like $500, beside
the industries of our own town have
been patronized.
This view of the matter is very
plausible one, and, to those who have
not questioned the commission as to
their action, seems to be the course
which should have been taken. How
ever our water commission, which has
always served the best interests of the
city in every instance, we feel. must
have considered the question fully, and,
in their judgment, awarded the contract
as to them seemed best. There were ques-
tions to be taken into consideration in
connection with the transaction, which
we know not of.
The best means of building up city
is in giving preference to home indus
tries and home labor. Many who are anx-
ious that the place they call home-whe. g
their every interest is, and upon which
they depend tor support-shall prosper,
fail to recognize this fact, and not only
in matters of large import, but in the
smaller as we'll, patronize firms in other
cities, which can in no way return such
patronage and who scarcely recognize
such place as The Dalles. Few of US
| are exempt from this charge, and it is a
serious one, when IN the aggregate the
amount thus sent ont of town is many
thousands of dollars year. In CRITICS.
| ing our commissioners let US remem Der
that we are not in position to dictate.

Wool, wheat and Sugar.

Dun's Weekly Review OF Trade says
The large Eastern advances on wool to
be held for higher prices had helped to
retard the natural decline in that pro-
duct, of which 100 quotations by Coates
Bros. of Philadelphia average 49, II cente,

extraordinarily small sales, only 2,6I4,-

in 1892, Indicate very little demand at
this time for manufacture. The truth
is that demand for goods is not helped
by high prices for wool.
"Wheat has been declining a little
with foreign reports somewhat more
favorable as to European crops, and yet
the actual shipments have been 1885,
947 bushels, -four included, for the week,

indicate that farmers are quite generally

THE OUTLOOK.

War calculations are never perfectly
reliable, but If the report is true that
the Spanish Cape Verde fleet is head
ing for Porto Rico, and If the fighting
quality of that naval force may be
judged from that Of the squadron in
the Pacific, there will be but one more
sharp encounter. After that what can
old Spain do but surrender? Without
coal and cash and suffering under the
stigma of crushing defeat, no other
course seems to be open to her.
1t would be no surprise to hear OF the
termination of the war without the
service of the patriotic boys who have
locked to the standard of the country
from all parts OF the Union. For even
If some of them will be called upon to

disarmed foe, and II may not be re-

for the country this time. Another
naval victory, and then peace.

colonies, the old country will be in the
throes Of civil struggle. perhaps for a
long time to come. Riotings are the

sPAIN's FALL HER SALVATION.

Wherever Spanish rule has been es-
tablished, 1t has been characterized by
cruelty. The outrages committed in
the West Indian and Pacific colonies
are simply barbarous. That a nation
protesting to be governed by the prin-
ciples OF Christianity should stlll he on
level with sayages as regards the
methods OF government. is an anomaly

Spanish history accounts sufficiently
for the peculiar characteristics of the
rule exercised by that people over
others. For years and years the whole
nation was under the thumb-screws of
