This medicine Is an Alterative, and
causes a radical change in tho system.
The process, in soma cases, may not be
quite so rapid as In others ; but, with
persistence, the result Is certain,
Read these testimonials :
" For two years t suffered from a se
vere pain In my right side, and had
other troubles caused by a torpid liver
and dyspepsia. After giving several
medicines a fair trial without a cure, I
began to take Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. I
was greatly benefited by the first bottle,
and after taking five bottles I was com
pletely cured." John W. Benson, 70
Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass.
Last May a large carbuncle broke out
on my arm. The usual remedies had no
effect and I was confined to my bed for
eight weeks. A friend induced me to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Less than threo
bottles healed the sore. In all my expe-r.i-nce
with medicine, I never saw more
Wonderful Results.
Ynother marked effect of the use of this
medicine was the strengthening of my
night," Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly
Springs, Texas.
" I had a dry scaly humor for years,
and suffered terribly; and. as my broth
er and sister were similarly afflicted,
presume the malady is hereditary. Last
winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina,
Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year.
For Ave months I took it daily. I have
not had a blemish upon my body for the
Inst three months." T. E. Wiley, 118
Chambers St., New York City.
" Last fall and winter I was troubled
with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I
did not notice it much at first, but it
gradually grew worse until It became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this tline,'disorders ot tho stom
ach and liver Increased my troubles. 1
began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and,
after faithfully continuing the use o
this medicine for some months, the paiq
disappeared and I was completely
cured." Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush,

(Oregonian.s.) -
A special meeting of tho jboard
of trade was held yesterday'ai 10
a. ii., in pursuance to a call by the
secretary, Mr. F. K.- Arnold, to
consider some very important mat
ters in connection with "the system
of pilotage and towage on the Co
lumbia river bar.
President P. C. Sohuyler called
the members to order, and after
stating the objects of the meeting,
invited attention to tho following
communication from Mr. W. IL
Holcomb, manager of the 0. R. &
N. company, 'to the board of trade,
relative to pilotage and towage
matters:
IfANAQEE HOLCOSfB'S LETTER.
Poetland, Feb. 6, 1889.
To the Board of Tracle,PortIand,
Oregon.
Gentlemen: The question of
effecting a reduction in the towage
and pilotage charges now borne
by ships coining to this port for
cargoes of wheat, Hour, etc., des
tined for foreign ports, has become
matters of such paramount impor
tance to the people of this state,
and will, in the near future, s i ma
terallv affect the commercial
standingandimportance of Oregon
that, unless some action is taken
whereby these reductions will be
accomplished, the results must be
very disastrous to not only the
shipping interests at the ports
where trie business is done, but to
the entire commonwealth of Ore
pon. In the month of June, 1888,
according to the urgent request of
your honorable body, tho Oregon
Railway & Navigation company
published a towage and pilotage
tariff and undertook to perform
u.eac services at a figure very
much less than ever charged here
tofore. In so doing this company
has not only invested a large
amount of capital, on whioh it has
received not a dollar of return, but
has suffered, in addition, an actual
pecuniary loss iu the operation of
its towing facilities. It has, how
ever, done so cheerfully, believing
that as soon as the time came
when the people could act, they
would cooperate fully with the
company and enact such laws as
would lift the burdens which
are now pressing upon our com
merce. Ever since the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company
has assumed the responsibility of
providing the Columbia bar and
river with towing facilities, it has
labored under great disadvantages.
It has met with persistent and bit
ter opposition; its methods of do
ing business have been wilfully
misrepresented to the people, and
false statements havo been contin
ually made concerning its purpose
and its relations to the commercial
interests of the state; it has been
accused of endeavoring to secure
a monopoly of the business for
the sole purpose of putting into
effect increased rates and thereby
fill its own coffers at the expense
of the wheat producers. These
false statements have, until now,
remained unnoticed by the com cem
pany: but thev have gained cre
dence to such an extent that it
seems apparent that the eyes and
ears of the public should be
opened and our true position be
made known.
The purpose of the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation company to
make its charges for both pilotage
and towage on tho Columbia bar
and river, providing the law was
so amended as to permit tug boats
to employ pilots, on an equal foot
ing with the towing charges alone
between Uape b lattery and Taco
ma, has evidently not been cred
ited and the impression has be
come prevalent that a reduction of
the pilotage charges would only
result in transferring the pres
ent fees for pilotage from the
pockets of the pilots into tho'treas
ury ot the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation company, without effecting
any reduction o'f the total charges.
It has, therefore, become necessary
to make plain to you our position
with reference Jo the towage and
pilotage services and I submit be
low a tariff which the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation " company is
ready to put into operation, cover
ing thee chargP8 to all foreign
ships towed on the Columbia bar
and river by our tugs and piloted
by our pilots, provided the bill,
prepared by & committee appoint
ed by yoar honorablo body, in
troduced by Mr. Northup in tho
house of representatives of the
legislature now in session, and
known as H. B. 37, is enacted by
the legislature as originally intro
duced and becomes a law.
This proposed tariff would make
tho total cost of both towage
on the bar and river on an exactly
equal footing with the towage
charges alone between Cape Flat
tery and Tacoma, and would make
the tariff about one-half the pres
ent total rate. I give you below
a statement showing the present
schedule, what our proposed sched
ule will be, and what the reduction
will be on each class of ships:

cents per ton,
Unless legislative action is taken
so that pilotage can be handled by
pilots employed by tug bo.its, this
schedule cannot be put into effect,
as it would necessitate performing
the towage service actually lor
nothing, and this company would
be pecuniarily unable to bear so
great a burden without finan
cial rum. The proposed new tar
iff would not cover the actual cost
of operating tho towing facilities
and consequently would not allow
the company any return on the
capital iuvested, nothing for in
surance, nothing for extraordinary
repairs, renewals, casualties nor
depreciation.
Tho company is ready and here
by guarantees to put tho new tar
iff into operation immediately, pro
vided the legislature enacts the
law above mentioned.
Very respectfully yours,
W. H. Holcomb.
General Manager.
