PLEASED WITH THE DALLES.
One of the Visiting Editors Tells What
He Saw Here.

He Saw Here.
The following is taken from the
Daily Enquirer, of Carlville, ILL.,. whose
editor visited this city on July 4th in
company with the delegates to the
national association:
"rbe first city of imrortance we
reached in the Colum bia valley was
The Dalles, which looked stately with
its magnificent trees, large brick
blocks, mammoth warehouses. beautl-
full residences and well-kept lawns.
We were surprised to learn that The
Dalles, where Generals Grant and
Sheridan learned the rudiments OF war
fare, is one of the chief commercial
cities of the Northwest. The sur
rounding country is noted for its
| magnificent fruit lands, broad plateaus
with their waving grain and great
expanse of grazing country that pro-
duces meat to feed an empire and wool
to clotEe nation.
The Dalles is the head of navigation
on the Middle Columbia; owns its own
water works at a cost of $3.50, 900, has
the best water, being brought from
| the foothills of Mt. Hood; the center
of the best fruit belt on the coast; the
greatest original wool shipping point in
| theU nited States, it ships annual y 250O
| tons OF canned salmon, 5000 worth
of fresh fish, 6OO,O 900 bushels of wheat,
5000 head of cattle, 100000 sheep.
| 100000 pounds of wool. The county
sends $4,000 worth of Strawberries to
the eastern markets, and ships $50, ,O0O
| worth of other fruit"

There is war and rumors of war in
the town of Cascade Locks. The
trouble is over water, very peculiar
thing to quarrel about when IL is so
plentiful. For number of years the
residents of the lower part of town
have been furnished water free, and
because the owners of the water works
shut off the supply tho consumers got
wrathy. One man by the name OF
Schmidt got so indignant that he de-
termined to annihilate the entire water
company, and promised to fill the
owners of the water works with lead
whenever he should see them. AS a
result he was taken before Justice
Stott Monday and required to give
bonds to keep the peace. This did
not, however. smooth the ruffied tenn
pers of his friends, and one of them
had to be severely thumped by friend
of the water company.

Norway Buying Guns.

Nv Associated Press 60 the journal.
! CHRlsTIANtA. Jan. 10, The even.
ing papers report that Mr. t. A.
Darling, president Of the company,
which erected the battery of l5-lnch
dynamite guns at Sandy Hook, and
who has arrived inLondon, will within
the next few days visit at Chris
tlania.
IL Is believed that Mr.. Darling's
visit is at the special invitation of
leaders Of the Norwegian radicals,
who are anxious to be prepared for an
expected coerclve movement on the
part OF Sweden.
During the prolonged controversies
last year between Norway aud Sweden
as to the constitutional rights of Nor
way-the right to special consul or
representation, the adoption of an In
dependent flag, etc--it is sald' that
the Norwegian radicals secretly alien
ated the Norwegian army and navy
officers from Sweden, and that Of late
war preparations have been made, so
that Norway is prepared for any
emergency.
10 case Of a war with Sweden, the
equipment of the principal ports with
dynamite guns such as are now sta
toned at Sandy Hook would make
Norway lndomnitable from the sea
side. The land forces would prove
redoubtable foe to the Swedish army.
Tne majority Of the Nurwegiaus are
heartily tired of their union with
Sweden, and the sanguine predict that
Norway will De independent before
the close OF the century.

FIXES RESPONSIBILITY
The DAILY Bill for the Selection Of
Public School Text Books.
Would Let the People Know Who
Made Them Pay More Than
Idaho.
Corvallis Times

Corvallis Times
No person familiar with all the
conditions will deny that there Is
vital need Of change In the Oregon
school law, That there are books now
in use Ia the schools notorious with
faults and error ls everywhere con.
ceeded. That even for these faulty
books Oregon pays fiom ten to thirty
per cent more than does Washington
or Idaho ia au absolute fact, known
by all who have taken the trouble
to impure into the matter. 10 short,
bad books at absurdly high prices is
an admitted condition, and IL is the
creation of the law that is now in
force The uestiOn is, shall we re-
tain the present arrangement, or shall
we try another plan which cannot
possibly do worse for US, 'ard which
may do great deal better.
The DAILY bill proposes a commission
Of five, TO be appointed by the gov
ernOr, for the selection of school
books. To the governor and 20 each
member Of this commission there Will
be the highest incentive To reduce the
price OF Oregon school books. Such a
reduction would reach the attention
aud secure the welcome approval Of
every school book buyer In Oregon,
which means that almost every home
In Oregon would yield hearty graft
tude to the governor OF the state aud
the members OF the commission. No
influence could by more powerful In
leading TO resistance Of corruption
and an honest discharge of duty.
Every Official act OF the COM
mission and every vote for books
and prices for books is to be
matter Of public record, to
be known by every citizen Of the state.
Failure TO correct prevailing abus es
would bring both the governor and
the members OF the commission into
disrerute. The present arrangement
suffers those who fixed present books
and prices perfect freedom from res
possibility. No man knows now
what men they were who plunged
school patrons OF Oregon into uecess.
lty OF paying from ten TO thirty per
cent more for books than is paid Ia
Idaho. With the commission, re-
sponsibility cannot be escaped. A
continuation OF the prices and con-
dtions that now exist would destroy
the political hopes and public reputa-
tion Of the governor and of each indi-
Yidual member OF the commission.
