one view ofthe situation.

THE CHRONICLE has never 80 far been
guilty of taking pessimist1c view of
matters in general, but, variety being
the s'spice of life," we may be excused if
we deviate for once at least, and look at
the river question on the dark side, thus
giving ourselIe es sufficient reason for be-
ing thankful that The weather still re-
mains cool and hoping that it may so
continue.
While qlite number of experienced
river men predict that there will be no
unusual high water this year, there is a
probability, or we may say possibility,
of the river reaching the '94 mark. We
have, go far, had no summer weather.
The moon changes for warmer weather
next Thursday. On Tuesday the river
at The Dalles will be 81 feet. Suppose
we should get fifteen days hot weather
(and this is not at all improbable) with
the amount of snow in the mountains it
would be an easy thing to get a raise OF
~ per day, or a 2214 foot rise above
Tuesdays mark, making 5S1a feet at
The Dalles, pretty close to the '94 mark.
Should the sweather continue cool, oi
course there will not be much danger oi
the river reaching the above figures
but in the meantime let us cease "kick-
ing" at the weather, the weather
prophet, ETC., when we realize that this
is perhaps our only salvation from a
| food,

LIVELY FIRE DRILL.
Five Streams Play on wasco Warehouse
Pressure "a.


That Dalles people are Interested in
their fire department land they have
every reason to be) was proven last
evening by the number who witnessed
the test drill at the warehouse. One
might have thought Dewey had reached
the city sure enough, land it certainly
was dewey for time) judging from the
procession which followed the depart
ment up Second street.
"The "procesh" was headed by our
new band. which furnished marching
music for the following companies:
Mt. Hood, jackson, East End, Colum-
bia, South Side and Hook and Ladder.
While each company made good show
ing, we must mention the new South

one being i'll and two in Portland. II

hill is safe in case of fire.
Marching at once to the Wasco ware
house, the "boys" went to work in
earnest, inspired by the strains of the
band, and soon five streams of water

as if the whole thing was in blaze.
The drill was for the purpose of testing
the pressure since the new plugs and ex-
ira pressure has been Put in. The engine
was stationed at Skibbee's corner, and
with 2500 feet of hose in use and five
streams-two hose attached at the corner
of Third and Taylor, two at Second and
Taylor, and one at Second and Monroe-it
was determined that eighty-four pounds
pressure could be obtained. This is
large per cent over what we could depend
on before the new system was put In,
and East Enders feel great deal safer
than formerly.
The test being made, they proceeded
to the engine, where occurred a test In
which the steamer was tried against the
pressure obtained from the plug. This
time Engineer Brown was outdone and
the plug came out ahead.
The East End has always seemed to
be the place to be dreaded on account
o. fire, as has also that district on Second
understand that in case of fire in the
latter section eight streams at least, and
probably eleven, could be turned on at
once, SO that that section is not to be
dreaded as fire trap so much as it has
always been.
The board of delegates are much en-
couraged over the outlook for a new
alarm system, chemical engine, ETC.,
and we expect to hear encouraging news
| from them soon. Let US assist them in
every manner possible, for their efforts
are only for our benefit, their services
being given gratis.
We owe much to our fire department; /;
let US keep this ever in mind.

Down the Columbia.

Engineer Strack and White, with a
full crew of we'll equipped railway SUR
veyors, started line of survey down
the north side of the Columbia river, be-
ginning at Paul F. Mohr's old ware-
house. Last Saturday the game crew of
surveyors was seen in the vicinity of
Cello fats, on the exact line of Paul F.
Mohr's right of way by Klickitat's
coroner, William Hart, who was in that
vicinity on official business. Mr.. Hart
says be asked no questions, but he ascer-
tanned from one of the crew that there
was abundant capital behind the present
party In the field.
Another theory of many people is that
the survey party is in the field to carry
out the plans of Paul F. Mohr and DR..
Blalock. Further, that the plans of

appeared In the person OF cN-Pos;mas-
ter General John Wanamaker, himseii
the proprietor Of two of the largest es-
tablishmcnts Of this kind In the world.
Mr. Wapamaker argues that these

they reduce prices. stimulate consump-
tion. and increase employment; that
they give no advantage to the large
purchaspr over the small one. and that
thcy DO business at very light profit
some may question these conclusions,
but there is one other statement made
bv Mr. Wanamaker which mo- one CON
sistrntly can question. and that is That
women are quite as useful ns men IN
many places. and should be paid as lib
