The payment Of increased dividends by about
forty New England cotton mills indicates the
extent to which the Northern manufacturers
have overcome unfavorable conditions. Two
years ago their business was seriously impaired
by Southern competition. the mills OF the cot
ton States having the advantage in cheaper
labor and cheaper materials. The Tribune
at the time pointed out that enterprise alone
could save the great industry which had grown
up about Fall River and that the solution Of
the troubles Of the cotton mills lay in the pro-
duction Of better goods, Of more attractive de-
signs rather than in attempting to cheaper the
product This policy has involved large out

bends for the last quarter have been larger than

Fan of the Legal Fraternity.

A number of Dalles attorneys left
Saturday night to attend court at Con-
don today, among whom were Judge
Bradshaw, Dist. Atty. Jayne, w. H.
Wilson, H. S. Wilson and E. B. Dufur.
Reaching Arlington they remained over
| night, and yesterday morning started
out for Condor. Messrs. Jayne and
pofur had seats in the stage; while
Judge Bradshaw, W. H. Wilson and
H. S. Wilson, accompanied by Mr..
Weir, of Arlington, occupied a hack
which followed the stage. About the
time they arrived at Dannenan's where
passengers stop for dinner, probably on
account of being so heavily laden with
weighty legal wisdom, the hack broke
down, causing the horses to run away
and the rig to turn over, dumping the
entire load, with the driver, to the
ground. Fortunately The Dalles legal
lights lit lightly and escaped with no
injury whatever, but Mr.. Weir was
seriously injured, to just what extent,
however, we have not yet learned. This
morning Mrs. Jayne received a letter
from her husband giving an account of
the accident, and telling her to assur
the ladies whose husbands were in the
hack that they were all right.
Were it a joking matter much might
be said concerning the cause which led
up to the case in hand; a jury be ap-
pointed to investigate, etc. but certain-f
ly it was too serious an affair and too
marrow an escape to admit of any juk-
ing concerning it,.

The Telegram also says of Miss
Thropp: 'MIss Thropp is certainly ver-
