Editor Dallks Chhonicle : Some
four or five weeks passed the Ciibo.n'ici.k
contained an article on the free reading
room, which we were much pleased to
see, as the institution deserves much
more advertising than it gets. The ob-
! iect. nf thpt writer in trt rail the attention
j - .
of those who have it in charge, to the
fact that for many weeks the sign which
formerly pointed the stranger to this
home-like and sequestered nook has
been missing, and as a consequence
many strangers who stop for a day or
two go away without the knowledge that
i e have a free reading room in our city
In proof of this I recall two examples
which occured to me personally within
the past two weeks. A gentleman who
keep a feed barn expressed surprise
when I informed him that there was a
free reading room in the city. Said if
he had known it, that very evening he
could and would have directed two
young men to it who enquired of him
where to go to spend an evening pleas
antly, and but yesterday a young man
came to me from the east, a mere boy
of twenty, fresh from the home of his
youth, he had been loitering through
town for two days, when I asked him
why he did not spend his time in the
reading room, he said he would have
been glad of the privilege had he
known there was one, does it not look a
little like lighting a caudle and putting
it under a bushel? Who knows but for
that lacking sign this Imjv has entered
his first saloon, hits taken his first step
on the down grade, has been switched
off on the side track that leads to ruin.

'Editor Chronicle. I have beeu
waiting for something to happen so I
could send your valuable paper an item
from this place and thereby give myself
a chance to tell the Chronicle that I
admire the bold stand it takes in de
nouncing cranky editors and corrupt
Kolitians, but as nothing has happened
of any importance 1 will have my say
anyway. It is a relief to get a chance
to pick up a paper once more to that
every other item is not about "the
mayor or Mr. Moody," and the balance
a continual whine. You and your paper
certainly deserve much praise and honor
in announcing to the public the actions
of our joint representations in the last
legislature, so that the people of Eastern
Oregon may not be deceived any more
and will use better judgement next time,
and when a man like Bennett runs on a

CHOPS.
Owing to -the wet soii conditions in
Western Oregon, melting snow and wet
soil in" Eastern Oregon, spring seeding
has generally been delayed. Some
plowing has "been done on" the higher
lands 01 Western Oregon and in parts of
Southern Oregon. While the weather
conditions have not lieen up to the aver
age, yet they have been favorable to the
fall and winter sown grain which is in
variably reported to be in a most pros
perous and promising condition. Con
siderable growth has been niade during
the week. In the Willamette valley,
especially, the soil is wet which retards
spring work. In parte ot western ure-
eon. peach ana apricot trees are in tuos-
som, quince trees showing leaves, berry
bushes and shrubs are leaving, otherfrnit
trees have swelling buds. Warmer
weather with sunshine is needed
throughout the state. The season is
slightly later than usual. The prosper
ous condition of the fall wheat the wet
condition of the soil, the backward
weather conditions all tend towards a
bountiful harvest.
STOCK.
In Wallowa county some stock has
iteen lost, in other stock sections it is
rare that less is reported, and on the
hand their condition is generally report
ed to be good. The grass is growing ana
furbishing good feed.

Hereafter in this state the term df
office of county assessors will commence
on the first Monday of March next fol
lowing their election, so that assessors
now in -office will have nearly a year ad

The above paragraph has appeared in
many of . our exchanges. We may not
understand it, but we rise to say that it
has been both the law and the custom
for years for assessors to commence their
term of office on the first day of March
next following their election. Every

rise and explain? There is surely a
blunder somewhere.

Death of Charlea E. Dunham.
It is with very great sorrow we record
the death of Chas. E. Dunham of this
city at a little after one o'clock today,
in the prime of middle life and snatched
away before many of the jteople of The
Dalles had heard he was sick. The cir
cumstances attending his demise are
peculiarly sad and distressing. His wife
who has been sick for two or three
weeks is so very low that she cannot be
informed of his death, while his young
est child is also so dangerously ill that
it too may pass away at any moment.
Mr. IHinham has been a resident of this

Milk Functions of the Cow.
Dr. A. II. Baker, of the Chicago
Veterinary college recently eaid : "Yon
can not expect a cow with a small sized
adder to be a heavy milker, or vice
versa. The best results are obtained
from those whose parents were of the
beat quality. Yoa can breed a milker
just as certain as you can a trotter. It
is reasonable that heat-producing food
does not make milk. You mast have
water plenty, easy of access and reason
ably pure. Nothing will dry up a cow
like lack of water." He explained the
effect of the act of milking on the
animal economy. "The natural excita
tion caused by Handling tne udder is
profitable," he Baid, "bat the unnatural,
from blows or abuse, is not. While
holding up the milk no secretion goes
on ; the holding np is voluntary, as the
cow has it under her control. Severe
exposure to hot sun and to cold storms is
an injury, as it dries up the cow. The
oftener milk is drawn the larger the
How ; a calf rnnning with the cow sucks
often, and, the flow is increased, and the
cow crows poor under it.

Do you wish to know the quickest
wav to cure, a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cola has become set
tled in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timelv warning
and plainly tells yon in nature's way,
that as a punishment for some indiscre
tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is a thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it.
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two davs time. Try it
and be convinced." Fifty cent bottles"for

Inasmuch as the net earnings of the
