This Years Salmon Pack.

There is good inquiry for fall Chi
hooks with buyers reported saying that
Gamers are we'll sold up, says the Trade
Journal. The packing season on the
upper British Colum 5ia waters is over.
The pack will foot up about the same
as last year, viz: 22S,000 cases. as
stated in former issue the run of fish
on Frazer river started in on August 3,
since which time it was only moder-
ately fair or as some call it light up to
the 10Th. when it was very light. The
pack to August l5 is placed at 100000
cases and unless the run ceases or be-
comes so light as not to make it prof
liable to pack, the total pack will be
about 265, 200 against total spring
a I'd fall pack last year of 256. l01 cases.
If there should come in heavy run
efore the season closes, August 25,
then it will exceed the estimate.
There will not be any fall fishing
unless the market improves. From
present information the spring pack
of the coast is as follows: Alaska
l.050, 600 cases, British Colum bia 4SS. 900
Puget sound AZ; 900, Columbia river
27S,o00, Sacramento and Rogue river
25,000, Total, spring 1926, coo against
q total fall and spring pack in 1898 of
, 3S4 coo cases. 1t looks as if the fall
pack this year will bring the total pack
of 1889 up to about 1850, 900 cases.

SACRIFICING MEN FOR MONEY

The we'll known republican senator
from Illinois, VIM E. Mason, in his
new book, Republic or Empire, says:
"When our ships come home from
Manila laden with our nations dead,
are we to tell the loved ones here that
they died to extend our trade?" If
answered in the affirmative, it is an
admission that we are trafficing in
human life for purely commercial pur-
poses-for dollars and cents. If an
swered in the negative the expan-
sionists admit that their chief argu-
ment for territorial extension to the
Orient is a fraud and a delusion. The
friends and relatives of the dead heroes
are not going to accept commercial
Ism as sufficient recompense for the
lives that are sacrificed. Millionaire
man facturers and monopolists who be-
lieve human life commodity may
consider their trade in the Pacific
cheaply purchased in this manner;
but the patriotic masses the people
who believe in 6ghJiny for national
honor, or in war for humanity
take different view of the matter, ,and
when il comes 70 voting will cast their
ballots AGAINST commercial extension
pu rchast d in this way.

MLLIpARLSM IN FRANCE.

In all countries, in modern times at
least, il has been the chief boast OF
army officers that to be an officer was
to be gentleman and a man of honor.
In other high qualities, whether moral
or intellectual. he might be sadly
deficient, but his sense of honor must
be maintained in all circumstances
The standard form of words employed
in the condemn nation of military men
is that which copvicts them of "con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman" 1t is pitiful to observe
to what pass the standard of the officer
and the gentleman has come in the
French army. The preposterous de-
mands OF an insane militarism, the
absurd claims of perverted patriot
ism and the poisonous influence of
degrading superstition which passes
by the name of anti-Semitism seem to
have combined to stifle all the natural
prOmptings OF honor, as we'll as of good
sense and of justice in body of men
from whom it wou'd he natural TO ex-
pect al least reasonable snare of these
qualities. Indeed. it is so ditficult to
realize the perverted condition of mind
In military circles in France that it
is only when one ia reminded of it by
some specific recital that one becomes
fully aware of its existence.--Budget.

THE CROPS ARE SAFE.

No Damage Done to wasco County Wheat
by the Rain.
Emile Schanno has returned from a
trip through the best portion of the
wheat growing section of Wasco
county, and says from his observations
the recent rains did no damage what
ever TO grain except to bleach it
slightly. In no place was the rain
heavy.enOugh to wet stacks down more
than few inches, and the winds that
have prevailed the past few days dried
not swell. Wheat and oats that were
standing will probably be sli 1htly dis
colored from tn" effects of the rain,
but grain that was stacked was good
color, only the tops of stacks having
been dampened. Threshing is being
pushed along as rapidly as possible,
machines running early and late, and
if the farmers can have two weeks of
dry weather, nearly all the crops will
be under shelter.
The fruit crop, Mr.. Schnano says, is
better than had been expected, es.
pecially on Fifteen-Mile, where the
trees are loaded, in soma orchards the
quality will be inferior because of the
lack of proper attention. Many have
neglected to spray at the proper time,
and the trees are covered with scale
and other pests.

NOT WORTH THE PRICE.

So long as general Otis exercises
censorship over the dispatches that
are sent out from Manila, encouraging
reports will come to US of the progress
of the war, and from day to day we will
be told that the backbone of the Flip
ino insurrection is broken, but oc-
casionally some soldier returns, who
puts rather a different light on
the situation. Regimental Surgeon
Franklin M. Kemp. of the Fourteenth
infantry, is one who gives rather a
discouraging report of the possibility
of speedy termination of the war.
He was in Astoria the other day, and
in an interview on the Philippine situa-
tion said that the reinfOrcements now
being organized for the islands are
wholly inadequate to suppress the in
surrection. He says that, with the
troops already in the field, the rein.
forcements will not bring Otis forces
above 65, 900 men. These troops will
be able to cope with the insurgents in
the immediate vicinity of Manila, but
it should be remem bered, Dr. Kemp
says, that there are IS tribes in state
of rebellion, and they are people who
have never known what it was to be
conquered.
"If General Otis needs man," said
DR.. Kemp, ''he needs 100000 to crush
the rebellion, Even with this force,
it would take, at a conservative esti-
mate, five years to restore peace. or, at
least, to render it safe proposition to
locate on the coast. Twenty years
will be required before Americans can
venture with any security away from
the coast to colonize the fertile coun-
tries of the interior"
DIR. Kemp may take rather gloomy
view of the situation, but his state
ment is probably more nearly correct
than that of General Otis that the
Filipinos are about ready to give up.
And if DR.. Kemp's impression is
well founded, we have engaged in a
bigger undertaking than even the |
most radical expansionist could have |
thought, for the cost both in lives and |
money will far exceed any calculations
yet made. To maintain an army of |
100, 900 in the Philippines will require
an expenditure of 100000, 200 year
and the loss of an army of that size 10
active campaigning cannot be much
less than 10000 annually. Thus if five
years are required to put down the in
it will cost us half billion
dollars and $1,000 men. The gain to
this government cannot equa, the ex.
penditure, and it would seem it is
about time to takes steps looking to the
peaceable settlement of the difficulties.

THE o. r. s. N. INTENTIONS.
Some Say Road will Be Built at Once al
Far as Goldendaie, Wash

Some Say Road will Be Built at Once as
Far as Goldendaie, Wash.
Considerable comment was caused in
railroad row yesterday by the report
that the o. r. & N. is backing the
incorporators of the proposed line
down the north side of the Columbia, :,
says yesterdays Telegram.
"If had stopped to think moment,
1 might have guessed it," said an agent
"for Mohler is not the man to let such
an opportunity slip :"
1t is the general consensus of opinion
that the road will not be built soon, or
at least all the way. The rights of
way will be secured, 1t is argued, to
hold the territory against other roads.
1t is very probable, though, the line
will be built as far as Goldendale in
order to tap rich trade-belt which
will pay immediate returns.
The business men generally are sorry
to learn that the new road is probably
under the control of the Union Pacific,
as it makes the possibility of another
road building very small. 1t would
take great deal to persuade any line
to parallel the o. r. & N. down the
Columbia.
No doubt Mr.. Mellen learned a great
deal on his Western tour. and by this
time is doing some hard thinking.

OUR NEEDS.

The Times-Mountaineer does not
wish to become a boor TO its readers
by suggesting what should be done to
increase business interests or advance
the general comm ercial Importance of
the town, yet it feels that the future
of The Dalles is matter ofimportance
to every property owner and every
business man in the city as well as to
those owning property in the surround
ing country, therefore it cannot re.
frain from occasionly referring TO the
needs OF new industries that will
bring capital and labor here, and re-
suit in more prosperous times, more
business and more activity.
AS has frequently been stated, The
Dalles is and always will be COM
mercial center of considerable i'm
portance because of its natural ad-
yantages. but it is not growing in this
line nor can it grow until something
While the surrounding country is
probably not titled to its fullest extent
or made to produce all that is possible,
we cannot expect any marked growth
in the agricultural products, therefore
if we are not to stand still, we must
establish new industries within the
town-industries that will employ
people and cause them to seek homes
here. Manufactures then are about
all we can rely on to create a growth
in the city. What line of man ufactur-
ing is best adapted to this locality is
of course matter.not yet decided, but
it would seem the line best suited is
the manufacture of woods into cloth for
the reason that more wool comes here
annually than to any other placer in
the United States. But there are
other lines that appear we'll adapted.
For instance the climate here is ad-
for seasoning lumber, hence |
any manufacture in which wood is the |
principal part-such as furniture,
carriages, ,etc.,-should be we'll |

till; the town must 60 ahead, but it
will not unless the people take hold

1erity will not come to US unless we

bushels. extreme figures. The winter
wheat crop will not exceed 275, ,OOO,O 600
bushels. probably making a grand
total of 5OO,OOO,OO0 bushels of both
winter ano spring wheat for the crop
OF 1s99-1900. which, with estimated old
reserves of 100000 would make
total of GOO, ,OOO, 900 bushels. Home re-
quirements. will exceed 00,0OO,OOO

America will be called upon to furnish
225,000, 900 bushels for export this crop

pound of wheat America has and leave

still leaves dangerously low carry
over TO anticipate on July lst next.
The conditions abroad are not bearish,
quite the contrary, so that no alarm
may be feared from that direction.
Another new feature cones into the
market this year. which has been ab
sent for several years-the matter OF
carrying charges. which is generally
considered as in favor of the shorts.
1t may figure out so, but it is offset,
by transferring buyers from discounted
futures to the spot market. For some
time foreign buyers would buy futures
because they were lower than spot
and await maturity for delivery. A
little anticipation meant good profits.
NoT that the spnt market is selling at a
discount. buyers would prefer to handle
the cash article. This will show
good demand for the real goods and
will result in forcing futures up with
spot.
The general outlook for higher prices
was never better. Il is only ques-
tion of patience upon the part of
producers to bring buyers to their
terms. Every pound of wheat harvest
ed this year will be required not for
moderate but urgent demand. The
financial condition of the country does
not warrant low prices for farm pro-
ducts OF whatever character. 1t must
, be remembe that the present time
is generally the low period of each
season. Temporary conditions appear
their gloomiest, patience will prove a
profitable Investment fo- holders. 1t
may be that prices may sag for short
time, but they will probably not go as
low as during the early part of the
week. Late foreign advices are rather
bullish. Odessa reports new damage
| to the Russian crop.

The Match Combine.

CHICAGO, Aug. "A The Tribune
says: Matches have advanced in price
from 20 to 25 per cent during the last
sixty days, and dealers say that there
is reason to expect under present con.
ditiuns another advance before the end
of September. During June and
earlier in the year, the Independent
match manufacturers were at war
with the Diamond Match Company and
prices were demoralized.
The war on prices, however was
brought to sudden end by the Dia-
mond Match Company buying several
independent companies and closing
them. The Continental, bouy from
Edwin Gould, was among the first to
be absorbed.

by some of the young ladies of ,he
Degree of Honor last evening.in the
Schanno building. 1t was attended by
the members of the society and few
invited friends making in all about
thirty couples.
The music was furnished by Profess

sided at the piano is sufficient guaran-
tee that it was. all that could be desired,
while the floor was in perfect trim for
dancing. All this, with cool even
ing, made the parry the more enjoyable
and under such circumstances it would
be hard for any one present to have
anything but good time.

were in attendance and proved that
they had not forgotten how to "trip

Dancing was kept up until the ad-
vent of the "small hours.' when the
mem bers and guests disbanded with
hopes that the young ladies would soon
again give an equally enjoyable party.
