NATTER FOR LEGISLATION

In view of the numerous accide nts
that have occurred on different rail-
roads in this state, it would seem that
something is wrong with the manage
ment, either employees are careless or
they are so overworked that they can
not give the attention necessary to the
duties that are placed upon them. 1t
is hardly probable that railroad em-
ployes would be wilfully negligent es-
pecially when their own lives depend
upon the cautious handling of trains,
therefore the natural conclusion is
that many of the accidents are the re-
suit OF trainmen being oyerworked.
This would certainly seem to be the
case with the employees on freight
trains. A freight train crew consists
of an engineer and fireman, con-
ductOr and two brakemen. A train
may consist of 80 or so cars, yet the
crew is the Same. The engineer and
iremen haYe all they can do to furnish
The motive power for the train, there
'ore the rest Of the management de-
oends upon the conductor and two
orakemen. This they are able to
ook after provided the train is small,
,ut it is. s.utterly impossible for them to
ook after train of 55 or go cars. In

trade, If there were a free wagon
bridge across the Colum bia, would
probably spend S25 each annually.
This would represent trade of $780,
600 year. The $4,000 of bonds
could probably be hoated at per cent,
or an annual interest of $500. Will
the profits on $3.50. 900 trade justify this
expenditure?
Besides this trade, which would be
distributed among the merchants, ho-
tells, livery stables, blacksmiths, wage
makers, saloons and others, a free
wagon bridge would cause the greater
portion of the wheat raised in Klicki-
tat county to find market here. The
county produces 100000 bushels an
nually, and this added to the wheat
raised in Wasco county would mater.
tally increase the commercial import
ance of The Dalles. The Klickitat
wheat farmers formerly came here, but
this season especially the greater por-
tion has found its way either to Co
lumbus or Lyle. When the wheat
came here the trade came with it, anG
Dalles merchants enjoyed lucrative
business with the farmers of tha
county. Since the wheat has gone tt
Columbus and Lyle, Klickitat farmer
have bought their supplies in Golden
dale, Lyle and Portland. The idea O
bridge across the Columbia is on,
worthy the consideration of Dale
merchants and property nwners.

WORK FOR YOUR HOME.

Next to mans family and business
nothing should be nearer his heart
than the town in which he lives. 1t is
the place where he.wins his confidence
and educates his children. He wants
to make it as popular as possible; he
cannot afford to be Indifferent to any
thing which furthers these ends. It
can be said that town that is worthy
of the deYotion of its citizens in max
ing it wholly known and greatly pros
porous, is town In which it is worth
the full measure Of our devotion, to
merely take our share of the common
benefits accorded to the community.
We may yet add, that If persons can
not identify themselves with the in
terests of their town and be in sym
pathy and touch with the people with
whom they live, it would be better for
them to move out.
There are many people who live off
a community and contribute nothing
to it. They oppose the church, state,
and school and everything else in
which they cannot lead or make profit
out of, tearing down without ability or
disposition to build up. They never
gave anything better than COM

THE COLUMBIA BRIDGE.

The amended charter of Dalles City
authorizes the issuance of bonds for
the purpose of constructing a bridge
across the Colum bia, and at the pres
ent time a good many citizens are
advocating the building of bridge
at an early date. There are argu-
ments in favor of the proposition that
are unanswerable, except upon the
general disinclination of people to en-
cumber the city with greater obliga-
tions. In favor OF the bridge is the
proposition that it would attract no
less than three fourths of the Klicki-
tat county trade to The Dalles. In
that county is population of about
600. Then the question resolves it
self into this: Is the trade of 5000
people worth to The Dslles the ex.
pense of constructing the bridge?
which is said would be worth some
$50, 600. On an average the 5000 peo-
pie who might be brought here to

PALMER ON BRYAN.

General John NJ. Palmer. of Illinois.
who was candidate for president on
the gold democratic ticket in 1895. is
in the city and has made q most re
markable political statement. Cen
eral Palmer talking about the issues
and candidates for 1900 said this:
"The leading issues for 1900 will be
anti-expansion, anti.militarism. anti
trusts. At least these will be the
democratic slogans. The nomination
Of Mr.. Bryan ism my opinion fore
gone conclusion. He will be nominated
and 1 predict that he will be elected
president in spite of his radical views
on silver"
Such a statement coming from
General Palmer is pretty important
political utterance, in that it indicates
the reuniting of the democratic forces
under the leadership of Bryan. 1t
shows that the effort to bringall classes
of democrats together is meeting with
success, another remarkable instance
Of this being Croker's espousal of
Bryan's cause.-S. F. Post.

case of accident they are totally help
less, Therefore it,would seem that
some legislation is needed to designate
the number of brakesmen required on
heavy trains. Patrons of railroad
companies, those who ship their
freight by rail, are entitled to proper
protection of their property-that it
should be cared for and delivered at
destination promptly. 1t would there
fore seem reasonable thai legislation
be enacted requiring an addition,
say of one brakeman fore every 10 cars
over 80 that are hauled in one train.
That Is, legislation providing that no
train of over 80 cars shall be run
with less than three brakeman, and
that on additional brakeman be re-
quired for every 10 cars over thirty.
Such regulation would be protec-
tion alike to railroad companies and
patrons, for trains could in all nor
NAL conditions be held under control,
and accidents would be less frequent.

up a liar as we'll as scoupdrel, if he
admits tie truth of the allegation, his

up liar as we'll as scoupdrel, if he
admits tie truth of the allegation, his
confession will be published far and
wide, and the brand with which he
will be branded will never wear away;
and If he persists in the damning
silence. and permits his accusers to
win by default, his reputation is as
surely lost. But there is no counting
on the republican politicians of Ore
gon. Perhaps they will idolize Mr..
Geer for his adherence to this prin-
ciple of corruption of theirs, for
which the governor is suffering mar
tyrdom because he was discovered.
Perhaps, and this is much more prob
able, the republican politicians of Ore
gon do not count among their prin-
ciples faithfulness to friend. The
republican party of Oregon is in a
tight box, with Governor Geer, and is
in fair way to have its hidden ways
made apparent to an innocent and
gulled public"
With such criticism coming from
abroad and with the people of the
state demanding that he either deny
Or admit the charge, Governor Geer
can certainly not remain quiet much
longer. nor can the party that placed
him in the chair of chief executive of
the state permit him to longer bring
discredit upon it.. If Governor Geer
continues in his eloquent silence, the
people will accept it as an admission
of guilt, and will hold the republican
party responsible for his shortcomings.
Then it will become necessary for the
to force him to either dis.
prove the charge or resign. The mat
ter is becoming too serious TO be longer
ignored.
