ORGANIZATION EFFECTED.

The Dalles Now Boasts of Having a FirstClass Ballding and Loan Association.On Thursday evening the Columbia

Building and Loan Association organizeda local branch in this city with nineteenmembers, and the following officers wereelected: President,!!. J. Maier;

J. T. Peters; secretary, J.M. Huntington ; attorney, Frank Mene--fee. Mr. Huntington will also act aslocal agent to solicit members, and lookafter the interests of the associationgenerally.

The Dalles has long needed an organization of this kind because there is noth-ing that will help to build up a town, asmuch as a good building and loan association. It is no means a new thingor an untried experiment. The are inthe United States today upwards of fivethousand building and loan associations,Philadelphia alone has four hundred andfifty. Denver has thirty-eig- ht andthere is scarcely a town of any promi-nence in the country without one ormore such organizations. For persons ofsmall incomes who desire to lay by alittle each month or who want to obtaina home of their own, such an associationis better than a saving bank becauseevery depositor is a stockholder andreceives his share of the profits.All the money paid .in by the de-

positors is immediately loaned outto members on approved real estate

ewtions. and alike numher of indi security and every borrower asby

soon as he gets the money begins pay- -' ing it back in small amounts everymonth together with the accrued inter-est which goes into the general fundand is reloaned to some one else withthe money that is paid in by the

members so. that the inter-est on every loan is compounded eachmonth for 72 months at which time thestock will have matured and each mem-

ber will receive the face value in cashmaking him a net gain of about 24 percent per annum on his little monthlysavings. Loans are made to membersonly, at a rate of per cent per annnmand every borrower has six years inwhich to repay the loan or he can repayit sooner if he chooses. In other words itenables every person who owns land tobuild himself a home at nominal cost ofover and above the actual cost of thebuilding. -

Mr, Huntington will gladly explain alldetails to any wno wisn to became members, and he hopes to see the member-ship largely increased.

BEVLW OP THE LOCAL MARKET,

There been but little change inthe business tone of the city during thepast week. The farmers and outsidebusiness people are too much occupiedin their various pursuits to come totown, and consequently trade from theinterior is unusually short for theseason.

Money is close and a tightening stringency is manifest in all circles. Thecredit system is being more and moreabolished among the merchants and thepinching experienced in the is beingfelt more or less on this coast now.soon as the wool cup begins to movethere will be an easiness in the conditionof all kinds of traffic

Real Estate There has beeninquiry for outside property and

moremore

activity in inside or city real estateThe first, second and third additions tothe vity are attracting some attentionSnd it is expected that there will be anactive movement in those properties inthe near future. The transfers duringthe week just closing have been in excess of a week ago, and our wise onespredict a very active season in citv andcountry properties.

which is good, and it is gone into theground, which is better. The flock-maste- rs

are daily drawing on our Lazyclub for herdsmen, and followers of thelamb are wandering forth to spend thesummer months amidst the hills anddales ; soon the merry voices that cried'High, low, jack, game,' . during thewinter will make- - the echo ring with'Way round 'ens.' The plowman withhis keen-edge-d plow is letting the sun-light under the sod, and the fall grain isputting forth its tiny blade to catch thedew ; in the silent watches of the nighttne snepnerd 8 lantern can be seen onthe distant hillsides warning the coyoteaway from the fold, and the man in themoon presses both fingers in his ears asthe Thomas cat informs all nature it isspring. According to the almanacspring has been here nearly a month,but according to the badger and thebunchgrass tick it has but just arrived.The almanac being of foreign birth cannot possibly foretell the seasons of East-ern Oregon like the bunchgrass tickborn and bred here and always anxiousto cross his blood with priest or prophetas opportunity offers. When you feel athrill through your system and onsearching find one of these backbitersclinging to you like a bosom friend, orwhen in the still hours of night you feelhim skipping from rib to rib or strikingthe high places along your backboneyou need no almanac to tell you it isspring.

We have on previous occasions, saysthe Petersburg (Va.) Index-Appea- l, de-clared our opposition to many features oftne JMCKimey bill, but we cannot helploving it lor the enemies it is making inEngland, Germany and other parts ofiiUrope. Germany is mad clear throusrh .but Germany doesn't remember that thefarmers and stock-raise- rs of the UnitedStates were also "mad clear through"when the American hog was refused ad-mission to the German market.

And England also raises a howl allthe more significant because her politi-cians and manufacturers were wont toassure us that we were the chief sufferers by the policy of exclusion of foreigncompetition and the encouragement ofAmerican industrial independence.Their resentment may carry them to theextremity of bringing" their plants to thiscountry, and from this base continuethe war on our manufacturers. Let themcome. If he wants this market, let himcome and take it in this manner, and hewill have the good will and God blessingof every true American heart.

The bill, with all its faults, has alsoendeared itself to our heart on account ofanother enemy it has made the im-porter. That foreign-America- n who ishere for revenue only is the bitter andmost insidious, not to say most hypocrit-ical, of the enemies of American indus-trial progress and development.

The Military Spirit.Competitive drills between the

companies have a tendency to.the national guard service and

ought to be encouraged. The state ofOregon has a special pride in thenational euard organization because it iscomposed of the flower of the land, andit is tne state s main dependence in caseof war or of domestic violence. Accord- -ins to the Jeffersonian idea, the volunteer militia is the only army a republicneeds ; yet, it is proper that the militia'should be kept in training and thus bein readiness for any sudden emergency.

It is likewise a good policy to keep themartial spirit alive among the youngmen of the country. The chivalric ideasassociated with a military life alwaysexert an elevating influence. ' Your truesoldier is always the . true gentleman.The sense of honor is exceptionally highin military circles.- - rne Drave man isinvariably the manly man. Thus, asidefrom the public advantage in keeping upa state uiiiitnry urbanization, tue enecton the social fife of the community isbeneficial.

George P. Morgan and Colonel E.

Baron Fava's Recall was Largely ofPersonal Nature Blaine Warned

Not to Attempt a BrilliantStroke.

The Italian Situation Assuming SomeSerious Phases Comments of the

London Papers.

Washington, April 1. The impres-sion is deepening in the diplomatic cir-cles that there is a decidely personal as-

pect to the withdrawal of Baron Fava.It is learned that for the last year Carl-ton, United Stated consul at Palermomade a report to the secretary of stateupon the subject of brigandage in Italy.He described a number of cases of out-rage upon foreign citizens, Americans ineluded, by Itaian banditti and proceededto score the Italian government deeplyfor failure to suppress those red-hand-

criminals and defend foreigners in ItalyThis report was published in this

country and so aroused the indignationof Baron Fava, the Italian minister, thathe promptly notified his government ofthe nature of the report and announcedthe determination to secure the consulsrecall. In Secretary Blaine's absencehe was able to do this. Blaine wasmuch displeased at the action taken butwas too late to recall the department'sdecision. Consequently the relations be-tween Blaine and the Baron havebecome somewhat less pleasant than itformerly had been, and according to Che

gossip floating about the state depart-ment, by some means not exactly de-scribed the Italian government came tounderstand and repress upon more cor-dial terms with prominent United Statesofficials and might obtain more favorsfor his government.

WPOLMATIC correspondence:.What U Being

Americana- -Wired In Regard toItalian Emhrorllo

Washington, April 1. The AssociatedPress correspondent here has perusedthe dispatches exchanged between' thegovernment of Italy and the governmentof the United State in regard to the NewOrleans lynching. The substance ofthem is that Italy asked in the mainthat legal process should be institutedagainst tne culprits, regarding them ascommon assassians, Italy likewise askedfor indemnity for the families of the menkilled in New Orleans by the mob.

To these requests the United Statesauthorities at Washington answeredthat the constitution of the UnitedStates gave but limited powers to theFederal government in regard to interference with various states of the Union,but the United States governmentaffirmed good intentions in thematter.

Tne answer from . Washington beingregarded as ' unsatisfactory, Italy instructed Baron Fava, March 27th, topress the original demands made uponthe United States government and inevent of his failing to obtain satisfactionto leave Washington incog., after con-

signing the cares of the legation atWashington to the first secretary
