SHIPPERS' SENTIMENTS.
The following extracts show the senti
ments ot Inland Empire shippers with
respect to the Keitnlator line and the
river route. The names of the writers
are purposely omitted, as it is part and
parcel of the "policy" of the "system"
to "punish a shipper" when they 6nd
oat that such shipper has attempted to
protect his personal Bank account by
practicing the economy of shipping by
the cheapest route. This is a strict vio
lation of U. P. R. rules. They want all
the money for the freight that the goods
will stand, for the "system." These
comments read as follows :
No. 1 says: "They (the U. P. R. Co.)
don't seem to like us to ship this way,
bat we are not married to them. It
pays to ship via your line, even tbongh
handicapped by portage and transfer."
No. 2 sayB : "They hold our goods
from one to two weeks, in order to force
us to ship all rail."
No. 3 says : "Their latest dodge is to
hold our goods, to compel us to ship
through them ; but we order ahead
They threaten to reduce our service, i
our merchants patronize vour line. It
is a matter of dollars and cents to us.
We have saved nearly $200.00 by ship
ping through you. They can drive us
farther away, but never nearer, by their
present methods."
No. 4 says : "We can assure you that
we are highly pleased with our first deal
with your company. The goods came
through in fine shape, and we are gainers
by several dollais through water trans
portation."
JNo. o says: "We nave saved over
nine dollars ' on one shipment of dry
goods."
ine list mignt De indefinitely ex
tended : but the above is sufficient to
show the increased and wide spread
sentiment of Inland Empire shippers,
respecting the advantages accruing to
buBiness by the use of the facilities af
forded the public by utilizing the steam
ers of The Dalles, Portland and Astoria
Navigation company ; and the state
portage railway ; on the Columbia river,
between this city and Portland. A sen
timent which is nelf-iui posed, from pecu
niary motives, and which is even more
richly deserving of recognition than the
bestowals of patronage attest. It was
not expected, by the projectors of the
Regulator Line, that they would amass
a fortune by their investments, but they
have the proud satisfaction of knowing
that they have conferred permanent
benefits upon the commerce of the Inland
Empire, and it ie satisfying to them to
realize that their efforts have been
measurably appreciated, and they can
look hopeful y to t he future for a proper
regard of their enterprise when the pub
lic generally fully understand the situa
tion. The fullness of this understand
ing is coming; surely and certainly;
even though it be tardy in some
qnarters.
A JUTE SACK FACTORY.
Following the lead of Th Chhoiticlb
for an employment for the state convicts
in Oregon which would riot be oppres
sive to free labor, upon our suggestions
of a jute sack factory ia the penitentiary
as one is conducted in Walla Walla,
several journals of the state have favora
bly commented. The Pendleton Tribune
of yesterday thinks "the matter of let
ting this labor out to the highest bidder
as has been done in the past, is not
wise. policy. The state can just as well
utilize it and reap considerable profit
thereby, and yet not bring such labor
into competition with other institutions
which employ free men in this state.
The state of Washington has made a
success in this matter, and it seems that
Oregon would do well to follow the ex
ample set by her sister state. The man
ufacture of jute- baes is a business that
has a large field, and there is room for
another jute mill in Oregon. In fact,
Oregon alone could easily use all the
bags that could be manufactured by the
labor of the .Oregon convicts and the
production of this commodity would be
profitable, and not interfere with the
employment of free labor, while the
present system of letting out the labor
of convicts to the highest bidder allows
this class of cheap labor to interfere with
the wage earners of the country, such as
the manufacture of stoves, which ought
to be produced by the manufacturing
industries ot the country.
The manufacture of the jute bags at
Walla Walla last year, to the number of
about two million, had a great tendency
to keep the corner from being made on
the Calcutta bags, and actually saved
the states of Oregon and Washington
vast sums of money.
No better way can be suggested to use
the convict labor of this state than for
this state to build jute mills and manu
facture the jute bags in competition with
the jute manufactories of India, for no
other class of labor except convict labor
can compete with the pauper labor of
India. .
Democratic organs continue to wail
over "the corrupt use of money by re
publicans" in the late election. They
seem to think it will serve democracy as
a shield to hide behind. But when the
president elect openly led the forces
with $25,000 and a democratic newspaper
boasted of raising $34,000 'and hundreds
of others made equal claims to such
honors, the howl against republicans
will not amount to much, and will
hardly serve to hide their own crimes

if you re afflicted with any of the
distressing derangements and dis
orders peculiar to your sex, it
relieves and cares. It improves
digestion, invigorates the system,
enriches the bjood, dispels aches
and pains, melancholy and nervous
ness, produces refreshing sleep, and
restores flesh and strength. In the
care of all functional disturbances,
weaknesses, and irregularities, it's
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
the money is refunded. It does
all that's claimed for it, or it
couldn't be sold in this war.
It is a legitimate medicine not
a beverage. Uontains no alcohol
to inebriate : no syrup or sugar to
sour or ferment in the stomach and
cause distress. As peculiar in its
marvelous, remedial results as in
its composition.

A paper in Eugene is kicking at Pagne
because thev bad a sunshiny -day recent
ly when his forecast of the weather an
nounced rain. That is rough. Up this
way the people place considerable con
fidence in the forecasts of the weather,
and we disagree with the Register. We
think "the fellow" who sends them is
mighty right, and does much to soothe
the nerves on a chilly day by his mod
eration clause.
It appears to necessary for the
country press to take a hand in the
mortgage tax question, and indebted
ness clause of our assessment laws, and
decide the matter, as the Portland
chamber of commerce have done
nothing but quarrel over the subject,
and if. an assemblyman wanted any
light it would be very dim, coming from
that source. Tub Chronicle voices
public expression in this division of the
state when it says the people are almost
a unit in favor of the repeal of both
clauses. If the interior press will take
the subject up and discuss it from the
popular standpoint, it will not be diffi
cult for the average legislator to under
stand that the people are heartily sick
and tired of permitting Portland influ
ences to provide themselves with a law
suited to personal conveniences for
avoiding the payment of their just pro
portion of the 8t-te taxes, which the un
sophisticated and honest plebian is
afraid to adopt for fear of getting a term
in the penitentiary for perjury. This is
just about the long and short of it, and
The Chronicle bo plainly stated the
matter when the board of equalization
was in The Dalles, that Mr. Wingate, a
member of the board, admitted the
truthfulness of the proposition.
The question of supplying free text
books to all pupils in the public schools
of Washington is being agitated by vari
ous papers throughout the etate, the
consensus of opinion being generally in
favor of' the movement. In part of at
least twenty-one states in the Union
school books are in whole or in part
supplied free to scholars, and in the
whole or part of eleven states text books
are entirely free.
Engineers Meek, Kennedy and Chalk,
who divided names and created one for
the station known as Mekecha, left be
hind them a puzzler eqnal to that left
by Buckley, Colter and Davis, who sim
ilarly divided and left Bucoda for' their
cool mine, or Chief Engineer Thielsen's
daughters Clara and Fannie, for whom
Clarnie was named. Tourists generally
write these names as coming from our
charming Indian dialect.
A petition is in circulation for a di-
I vision of Grant countv. the new countv
to embrace most of the territory north
of the range of mountains north of the
valley now lying in Grant county, and a
tier of townships from Umatilla county.
- It is perhaps nothing more than right
to give the Portland chamber of com
merce credit for honest intentions in
their effort to present the facts in regard
to fees of sheriffs, and clerks, in such
manner as to cause the repeal of existing
laws and substitute one providing suit
able salaries for such officials, and turn
ing all fees into the county treasuries.
The lesson of economy taught by the
Washington state and county salary
system, which by the way, was the main
object of attack from the democracy dur
ing the recent campaign, had a very
desirable effect in educating the people
of Washington, to the beauty of the
system, and has also had a tendency to
open the eyes of the Oregon press to the
heedless extravagance of the present
system, j
Baltimore cut into a monster plum
pudding and sent President Elect Cleve
land "a twelve pound slice." It was
"English," yon know. A duck or a
snipe pudding would have been more
pointed.
Democrats claim that is a Cleveland
winter. It is pretty ranch such a one
as followed his election eight years ago.
A sort of paralyzer, so to speak.
There are several combinations- on
foot for the speakership and presidency
of the senate. It is said they extend in
to the politics of the future.
