V THE WEEKLY UKPl'JSEU GAZETTE: FEBRUARY 11. 181)2. THE GAZETTE. Blaine makes it publio that he is B candidate for president not An eabtikjuake shock at Portland re lieved the monotony of the Columbia river fogs and the Lever-ceasing rains, last week. II will be well (or nur readers to look over the primary election 1 iw, published on the first page of this issue. It ap pears that all voting must be conducted under the new plan set forth in the Aus tralian ballot system. A bill appropriating $300,000 for the atate representation at the exposition is now pending in the Iowa legislature. A preliminary appropriation of 850,000 was made at the last session. A bill for $300,000 is also pending in the New York legislature. Patrick Eoan, the American minister to Chili, though he has been both praised and censured by the press of our oounty, stands well up in the ranks of diplomats. Our country can give him oredit for as sisting in bringing about peaceful rela tions between the United States and Chili. Of the $5,000,000 bondi, whioh the city of Chicago voted in aid of the exposition, $3,000,000 have been sold in New York at par and accrued interest, and the ex position treasury has been replenished accordingly. The terms of sale are re garded very satisfactory. Thoy are equivalent to a premium of one-third of one per cent, on the first million, two thirds on the second, and one per cent, on the third million. Tile East Oregonian hits the mark when it advocates the opening of the Columbia river with stute money. We oannot hope for much through the gen eral government, for there is no common idea as to what is the best plan to pur sue. Some of our representatives want one thing and some another, so nothing will be done. Let the state put in a portage at the dalles of the Columbia. We can well afford it. See that your next representative is for an open riyer. SEMI-WEEKLY GAZETTE. Daring the past eighteen months the circulation of the Gazette hus inoreased fifty per cent, whioh is Some reward for endeavoring to put out a striotly first class paper. However, the mamigoment have kept paoe with the demands made for news, and at a great expense, have presentod the readers, weekly, with eight pages of live reading matter. With a proper appreciation of what has been done for the Gazette in the past, the present management are con sidering the propriety of changing the edition to a semi-weekly. Of course this will depend largoly on the encourage ment whioh the matter will meet at the hands of our patrons, both in and out of Heppner, J Heppner is quitea small place to sup port suoh a paper as even our weekly, and we will say frankly that it has tak en any amount of rustling to keep it up to the present standurd. It has been neoessary to add improvements to the plant from time to time, nud of course the proprietors had to livo. Thore has been hardly a time when the Gazette supported less lhau four families, hired help iucluded of oourse, and every dol lur of this money has gone hack into the avenues of Heppuor'B trade. 8o that but few advertising patronc havo reason to complain from this quarter. It has boen the policy of the Gazette to help those who are willing "to livo Bud let live," and it shall continue in that lino. There are but few in Heppner who fail to appreciate a good newspaper, because it is such a potent factor in its upbuild ing. But there are many business men in Heppner, good, honest citizens, who are willing that the paper shall do all the work, though they receive a propor tionate Bhare of the bcnelits. Mouths aud mouths olapBe without the cobwebs of decay being jarred loose by judicious advertising. Their names never appear in the list of pushing business men. Some say, "advertising don't pay." Well, what would this world be if all biiHiuess men followed up that line? There would be but very few newspapers aud very little of anything else. But thore are few mon that don't believe in adver tising, though some talk that way. It is notioeable that their frouts have signs; their special lines bear their names; and the country fenoes around abound with "Qo to Joues for this or that." Yes, we all belive in advertising, but the news paper which is scauued by thousands whero u sign is read a half dozen times, don't meet with any particular encour agement. The fact of tho matter is that the Ga zette rij;ht now is far ahead of Heppner as a uewspnper, and it. is a pleasure to keep it in the lead so long as it is not a dead expense to its owners. Now to add this semi-weekly feature, there must be some solid business iu sight. It is im possible to accomplish anything unless a greuter number of our business men show a disposition to help and be helped, whioh we think will prove the ease wheu tho benetits of a semi-weekly edition iu our midst is considered. We will call on you at an early date to have a personal conference over the matter. HE LIVES AOA1N. How Mr. A. E. Miller, tlie Photographer of Alblna, Escaped a Fearful Death. From the Oregoniau. Editob Orb qon I an: Inasmuch as there are undoubtedly many poor human beings suffering the agonies as I did, I deem it my duty to let tl.em know through your columns where they can find relief. For seven years I suffered death with urethral strictures, until I could urinate only with the aid of hot appliances, baths and morphine, when finally they closed and I was taken to Dr. Darrin. Ho recognized immediately the imminent danger I was in, and with his wonderful eleotncal aud surgical skill relieved me in a few moments, aud dow I am perfectly well. To my sur prise the operation was rendered entirely painless, and did not "lay me up." It is justice to Dr. Darrin to Bay that my case baffled the skill of nearly all the doctors in the oountry for years. The publica tion of such difficulties are against Dr. Damn's rules, but I am so grateful for what he has done for me that I insist on making my case known for the benefit of the public. I can bo found at 277 Knott street, Albiua, Or. A. E. Milleb. Dr. UulTiu's Low Charges, Owing to the "hard times," Dr. Dar rin will in future give Electric treatment for $5 a week, or in that proportion, as enses may require. The poor free daily from 10 to 11 a. m.; those able to pay, 11 a. m. to 5 p, m. Evenings, 7 to 8 ; Sun days, 10 to 12. All curable chronic, acute, private and wasting diseases, in cluding stricture, hydrocele and varico cele, canoera, tumors and all malignant diseases treated successfully, and cures guaranteed and never published. The doctor also oures deafness, catarrh, bron chitis, In grippe, consumption, heart disease, dyspepsia, liver and kidney dis eases at his offices, 70 Washington street, Portland. All surgical operations skillfully performed. Consultation striot ly confidential. Send for question blank and circular. St. Valentine's day next Sunday. Masquerade ut Hardman tomorrow evening.

Frank Farnsworlh is suffering from a severe attack of the grip, rendering him uuahle to attend to his duties as deputy postmaater. Charley Wyland, aformer Heppner typo, now of Washington and British Columbia, is visitiug relatives aud friends in Heppner. At Last Takes Action. A bill has been introduced at Wash ington requiring all baking powders con taining alum and ammonia to be so la beled. This is a step in the right direc tion, and has been long foreshadowed by the aotion of atate legislatures, boards of iheaith, food comniissioneVe, etc., in this matter. The bill affords 'ueedeVl proteo tion to the publio, for the evidence as to the injurious effects of alum and ammo nia is very heavy; hut it will neverthe less be fought bitterly by the manufac turers whom it effects who are accustom to sell their goods as "pure oreum of tar tar," "absolutely pure," etc. The bill is something needed. If a maker uses a drug in his powder, the mime of whioh ho does not want to have printed on his label, it is prima facie ev ideuco that there is something wrong We hope the subject will be vigorously prosecuted all over tho oountry, not only as regards baking powder, but also all other food adulterations, This bill may incidentally benefit the makers of pure articles, but if it should, this is only an additional point iu its favor. L. h. OrniBhy is just recovering from a severe illness, so he writes Geo Con er. An attnjk of grip and other ail ments came near "doing him up."

"""51 () Mm 3 '& BfcJ A Pure Cream Tartar Powder ROYAL, Contains Ammonia, TAYLOR'S ONE SPOON, Coutarhs Alum aud Ammonia, Dr. Price gives larger and fuller cans than those of any other Baking Powder manufacturer. Above cut represents the comparative size of one pound can each ''Dr. Price's," Royal" and "Taylor's One Spoon." These cans were set side by side, then photographed down in exact proportions to admit the plate in this space. Ask your grocer to set a one pound can of any other brand alongside 1 lb. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, and observe the difference, as illustrated above. Adulterated powders may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the 6mall cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised as "Absolutely Pure," All official examinations prove that it would be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure. The economy in using Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder does not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are given, but Dr. Price's is' a stronger, purer and more wholesome bak ing powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she knew it ? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow and blotched appearance. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from ammonia, alum, lime, or any othei adulterant. Tlie purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned.
