Last evening the Council Commit
tee on Real Estate met at the City
Hall and opened the bids and inspect
ed the samples of street signs, author
lied to be placed by Council early last
spring, and for which the Finance
Committee made an appropriation OF
$500.
Three bids were submitted, and each
bidder submitted two or more samples
OF signs, as follows:
Edward Schneider submitted sam
pies of aluminium and enamelled iron
signs, of various styles, the price be-
ing: Each sign, of any style, twenty
five cents; put up on buildings with
copper nails, four nails to each sign,
five cents; if six nails, six cents; with
galvanized iron nails, four and three
quarter cents.
James McAdams, wooden signs, black
with white lettering, fifteen dollars per
hundred; placed in position, nineteen
dollars per hundred.
B. F. Caldwell, heavy enamelled iron
signs, dark blue ground, with white
lettering, fifteen cents each, placed in
position.
The first question arising was: How
many signs will be needed? The City
Engineer responded that the city could
put signs at anywhere from five hun
dred to fifteen hundred or more street
and alley intersections, and that many
of the prominent intersections would
require four signs, two at each of the
two diagonal corners, while each in
tersection of a street or alley would
require two signs at the least If every
intersection of an alley with an alley
an alley with street, or a street with
a street was to be supplied with a
sign, the number would run far into
the thousands, but after some figuring
he thought that with twenty-fOur hun
bred signs the city could be pretty
well covered, this allowing two signs
at all the prominent intersections, and
four signs to the most prominent cor
ners. Thus, twenty-four hundred
signs at fifty cents each would amount
to $780, at thirty cents to $720 and at
nineteen cents to S456.
The next matter examined into was
the nature of the samples submitted
Mr.. Caldwells iron sign struck the
Committee very favorably, but the
price made it out of the question fer
the number wanted. Mr. Caldwell ap-
peared before the Committee, and
stated, among other things, his price
was ''rock-bottonl. The wooden
signs were not fancied, and the selec-
ton was thus narrowed down to the
samples submitted by Mr.. Schneider.
An aluminium sign, with black letters,
in ALLIGATOR finish" was picked upon,
and the Committee decided to award
the contract to Mr.. Schneider at his
bid. The City Engineer was instruct
ed to figure out the number of signs
needed upon each street and alley, tab.
ulate the result and draw contract.

POPULAR" CANDIDATES.

The time is close at hand when nomi-
mating conventions will select the
standard bearers of the different par
ties, some of whom will be the officers
of the state for the next four years,
and the county officials for two years;
and it is but natural that those who
are to do the nominating are begin
ming to cast about for popular candi-
dotes, men who can poll their party
strength and little more; in short,
men whose personal popularity will
eventually land them in office. 1t is
probably politics that the most "popu-
lar" candidates should be nominated,
but what is politics is not always the
best for the people. The popular
candidate does not always make the
best public servant, in fact the oppo-
site is generally the result. However
it should be the aim of all parties to
nomina those who are fitted to hold
office.
If g. man gets into office, no matter
whether he is a democrat, populi.t,
plutocrat or republican, and during his
term fills the position with ability,
thoroughness and fidelity, even if his
personal popularity is not up to the
standard, he is more benefit to the
community than all the popular" can
didates that might oe named. 1t is
men of worth, integrity and capability
that are needed as nominees for office
rather than those who have strong
personal following.

PERFECTLY INDEPENDENT.

Hon. Fl. r. Kincaid, secretary of
state, is in certain sense candidate
for reelection, but he is not going to
relinquish his silver views to get the
nomination. nor is he so anxious to be
a candidate that he will beg anybody
or any party to give him a place on a
ticket. In fact he is perfectly indie.
pendent, and the politicians can take
him or let him alone just as they like.
The 0regonian quotes him as having
in a recent interview said:
"I Am as good republican as when
1 was elected four years ago. am not
a candidate for reelection. if in be-
coming so have to go about herald
ing the fact and importuning men to
support me. AS secretary of state I
have sought to do my full duty, and /
am not. ashamed of the record I have
made as such. 1 should be pleased to
have the precedent existing during the
past thirty-two years, of re-electing
the secretary of state, continued. l

lie about them to get elected. If at

STATE OWNERSHIP OF LAND

Hon. John Mimic. in his address be-
fore the woolgrowers' convention here
suggested good idea with reference
to the ownership of public lands. 1t
is that title to the same should rest
in states instead of the general govern
ment. This is to be desired for many
reasons. Principal among which is
that whatever revenue that is derived
from the sale OF public lands justly be-
longs to the state in which the land is
located. Old states, such as New
York, Maine Massachusetts. Pensyl-
vania, and in fact nearlysal those east
of the Mississippi river have long
since disposed of all their public lands,
ana whatever revenue that arose there
from wrs expended more to their ad-
vantage than for the benefit of the
West. 1t is therefore but just to the
Western states that they have the
money arising from the sale of all re.
maining lauds within their respective
territory.
The greater portien of the valuable
agricultural lands has been already
selected, and what is remaining, ex-
cept the timber land, cannot he dis
posed of to advantage under the pres
ent government regulations, for home
stead AMI timber entries are the o1ly
ones at present ad,nissable. If all the
public domain were
ceded to the states, the land could be
graded by commissioners appointed by
the state, seggregating the grazing
from the tillable land, fixing o mini
mum price at which the former coula |
ot> purchased in tracts not exceeding
iD acres, while the latter could be |
eutered under similar regulations as
now govern homestead entries.
Without such regulation as this
here will always be millions of acres |
the West that will never
De utilized except for open range. 1t
8 not of sufficient value to justify the
'ettler taking it in tracts of 160 acres
,nder the homestead law, but if it
,ould be bought at a nominal price in
racts of one section, it would be pur-
chased and become taxable property,
md whatever revenue would be derived
herefrom would aid in paying state
expenses. A measure to cede the
'ublic domain to the states would no
loubt meet with opposition from East
'rn congressman, but if viewed from a
tandpoint of right and justice their
opposition would carry very little
7eight, for it must be acknowledged
hat every state is entitled to the
evenue to be derived from the sale Of
he public lands within its territory.

A CRAVE RESPONSIBILITY.

When the democrats, populists and
silver republicans of Wasco county
shall assemble in convention tomor-
row they will have some grave respon-
sibilities to perform, for upon the DEL
egates who will compose these con-
ventions rests the duty of shaping the
policy Of the reform forces not only of
this county but of the state, and too,
they will be called upon to nominate
those who will serve the county in
official positions the coming two years.
They must choose the ones to be voted
for on June 9th, and much depends
upon the wisdom of their selections.
Good government is the end all de-
sire to arrive at, and to insure good
government good and competent men
must be chosen. County and state
affairs are probably well administered,
but every branch of government is
costing too much; expenses in every
branch should be cut down to the
minimum; extravagances must not be
allowed for it is the money taken from
the taxpayers that is consumed in
every needless expense. Public money
is public trust IN the hands of Off
cials, and its expenditure should be
guarded more sacredly than the ex-
penditure of the officers private funds.
That such care be exercised over pub
lie affairs as will give US good govern
ment at the least possible expense, it
is necessary that honest, conservative
men be nominated for Office. 1t is
therefore a grave responsibility for
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1898-03-19

lie, then the gold standard party will
be assured of success at the polls in
June, for harmony cannot prevail in
the ranks of the reform forces if spoils
are allowed to divide them.
This we do not believe will occur.
The delegates who will compose the
conventions are men of good judg-
mene, not selected with the view of
putting forward the claims of any in
dividual candidate, hence they are
not liable to be contentious for
spoils. in fact, they are men
who have tie welfare OF the COM
munity at heart, and will not prostitute
the union move for the benefit or ad-
vancement of any individual. As a
rule the delegates we believe haYe
little choice as to the'personnel of the
! ticket to be nominated, all they desire
is the nomination of competent, honest
men, who when elected will accepta bl y
serve the people as public servants.
If this spirit prevails in the conven-
tions, and ticket is nominated that
the people can conscientiously support,
Wasco county will on the 9Th day OF
next June register its disapproval OF
the single gold standard.

Many man who seemed to be dying os

that consumption isn't always fatal dis

The germs Of consumption can't exist in
healthy blood They simply let go their
hold and are carried out of the system
then the new blood builds up new tissue,
new flesh, new power, new life. 1t carries
vitality to the lungs, the bronchial tubes and
every other part of the body.

THE NATIONS DUTY.

Senator Elkins, of West Virginia,
would have America kiss the hand
that smites her, especially if the hand
be that of king Or queen, but for
tunately there are few mel like Elkins
in public life. There are men who
have higher idea of the nations duty
with respect to Cuba and the Maine
affair, and among them is Senator
Burrows, of Michigan. His views on
the present situation are as follows:
81 am profoundly impressed with
the belief that in our relations with
Spain a crisis is near at hand. In a
very few days the government will re-
ceive the report of the court of inquiry.
The report will be that the Maine was
destroyed by the explosion ofa Spanish
mine or torpedo. II the court makes
the report l anticipate it will, then
will come the tug of war.
"Whatis the situation with which the
country is confronted? A vessel of the
United States government is at anchor
in the port of a friendly power on the
exact spot selected by that power, and
that vessel is on peaceful mission.
She is destroyed. The question of
ports does not enter into the discussion
of responsibility. Spain was as much
bound to protect the Maine and her
crew from harm in the port ot Havana
as if she had been anchored at her
own immediate door. 1 care not
whether the explosion was produced
by or through the connivance of
Spaniard or Cuban. Spain's respon.
s'bility for the deed is not lessened
thereby.
Suppose that the president of the
United States had visited Spain on
friendly mission and was the guest of
the queen regent, and during his stay
was murdered by some member of the
queens household or by some fanatical
Spaniard not connected with Spain's
cabinet, would not this government
have the right to hold Spain re-
sponsible for the deed? I contend
that it would.
Therefore, say that Our relations
with Spain are approaching a crisis,
the solution and settlement of which
congress alone must determine, The
country expects congress to do its duty
in the premises, and that the president
will do his. Neither can shift the re-
sponsibility of the hour upon the other.
Any proposition of congress to shirk
or reDOse special
powers upon the president to meet
emergencies as they arise will be re-
sented by the people. Congress must
not only remail in session until it
knows all the facts connected with the
loss of the Maine. but must not adjourn
until it has settled, and settled right,
Ill other questions that are pressing
'or speedy solution"
