IS IT EN DEW
The election is over, and the re
sult settled beyond a doubt. Suc
ceeding Cleveland March 4lh Will
iam MoKinley will for four years fill
the presidential chair and administer
the affairs of the country. ' For two
years, at least, he will hare with him
the lower house. Backed by it, it
remains to be seen how much ob
struction to legislation can be sup
plied by the senate. From present
indications the senate will be about a
tie, with a few silver senators hold
ins the balance of power. What
they will do, or try to do, is an open
question. That they will continue
their old fight against any modifica
tion of the tariff unless something is
done for silver, is most probable, and
so instead of this matter dropping
back into the shades of oblivion, it
promises to crop up in the senate as
livelj' as ever.
In season and out the silver men
are crowding their fight, and in our
humble opinion this is where they are
making, a mistake. If the continu
ance of the present financial condi
tions is to bring the disaster they
have predicted, the surest and most
speedy way to forever settle their
political enemies is to allow the con
ditions not only to exist, but to be
carried to their utmost limit. If this
has the effect predicted, they have
but to bide their time. On the other
hand, suppose they are mistaken in
their theories. It would be better to
allcw the demand of the people,
made in no uncertain terms last
Tuesday, to be enforced.
If, as the gold standard men be
lieve and assert, this will bring, not
calamity, but prosperity, then as
good citizens, and in their own in
terest, they should withdraw all oppo
sition and confess themselves in the
wrong. That they will look at it in
this light, is hardly probable; but
that the silver fight will be continued
in the senate and used to block the
wheels of legislation, is, in our opin
ion, certain.
APPRECIATED.
Major McKinley I will say that
the patriotic efforts of the men of
both of the old parties have brought
about the result. . Ardent and de
voted as have been the efforts of Re
publicans everywhere, equally pro
nounced and helpful was the attitude
ot the sound money Democrats.
Then the press of the country, the
intelligent and enthusiastic efforts of
the great journals of both parties
have been a mighty factor in the re
sult and an aid to the Republican
cause.
Garret A. Hobart This is purely
a victory of honest voters. It is a
sound money policy. The Demo
crat3 whe contributed to the result
are entitled to recognition for their
' services to the people.
Mark Hanna The National Dem
ocrats were a very Important factor
in the election, and I don't think any
man appreciates their services any
more than I do. ' They worked just
as hard for the same result. There
was no beak in the line anywhere,
and they were loyal from the outset.
The value of their services cannot be
overestimated.
Sol. Hirsch I feel that special
mention is due to those old-line Dem
ocrats who have stood with us shoul
der to shoulder in this great contest.
I believe that nearly the whole of
McKinley's majority in Oregon is
due to such efforts, and, without
their active and loyal support, I do
not believe that we would have car
ried the state. I would like to men
tion some names, but where all de
serve recognition it is best not to
make any distinction.
leaving of obstructions to navi
edition in the Columbia, has been
in part corrected by a generous gov
crnment, which promises to complete
the good work by overcoming the
obstructions above hereV We cannot
expect either Nature or the govern
ment to do more for us than this,
consequently we'must, to reach that
height of prosperity and growth to
which our position entitles us, work
out our own salvation.
Never city had better or grander
opportunities, and never one where
so little efforts would return such
magnificent rewards. We cannot
grow and prosper without the ex
penditure of efforts and money, and
when either are required we should
one and all unite to accomplish the
object desired. We need more local
pride, more reliance in and on each
other, more faith in the local patriot
ism of each of our fellow townsmen,
and with this we must cultivate the
disposition to help along each and
every project that wilt help us all
along. There is net another city in
Oiegon that would rest quietly as
The Dalles has done for months with
the knowledge that under her busi
ness Mocks, down at no great dis
tance, perhaps, is lying a vast store
house of wealth in the shape of coal;
that on each side of her for miles,
perhaps, extended valuable coal beds,
whose exploitiing would make her
jump from a city of 4,000 to one of
40,000 in three or four years. This
we have done, this we are doing, but
this we should no longer continue to
do.
Down on Chenoweth creek a few
of our fellow townsmen have expend
ed in the past few years between
$3,000 and $4,000 attempting to
prospect this coal field. They have
worked under great difficulties, and
have now reached a point where they
do not feel able to go farther. The
work has been in charge of an ex
perienced coal miner, one who has
the utmost confidence in finding a
fine body of coal, and who has backed
that confidence with both time and
money. Every foot through. which
their drill has been sent is of the very
best coal'measures, and where they
are now tied up the drill has pene
trated a body of fine iron ore over
sixty feet. This ore is what has
bothered them, and finally brought
their work to a standstill, where it
must remain, if our citizens do not
take hold to help them. With their
present appliances it is almost impos
sible to do anything, the drill cutting
into the iron ore just the same as if
it dropped on an anvil, cutting a
mark at each stroke, but removing
nothing. To so further will require
a diamond drill; to purchase a dia
mond drill will require $1,000. The
gentleman we have spoken of stands
ready to put up $500 towards this
purchase if the other $500 can be
raised. Here is an opportunity to
test this question of coal or no coal,
and to do it cheaply. With the dia
mond drill purchased it will be oper
ated free of expense to anyone, and
be sent down deep enough to test the
matter thoroughly. Can we afford
to let the rratter sltp? Most assured
ly not. We believe if the matter is
taken hold of properly the sum can
be raised, and we suggest to The
WHAT IT MEANS.
TAKE IT AT THE FLOOD.
Nature has done much for The
Dalles; so much, indeed, that but
little could be asked or granted.
The one piece of carelessness of
whish she was guilty, that is the
Dalles Commercial Club, which has
already shown its williugness and
ability to handle whatever it lakes
hold of, that here is a field for its
energy and enterprise, and a reward
worthy of the most persistent effort
awaits them.
Great as has been the work at the
Cascades, and much as it will assist
in building up our city, it will not
compare, in its benefits to this city,
to the results of opening a good pay
ing vein of coal. The coal measures
here are of the best, and we believe
firmly that a diamond drill sent down
two or three hundred feet further
will demonstrate the fact that we
have s fine a coal field as there is on
the'eoast. If we have, let us find it
out at once, and if we have not, let
us satisfy ourselves of that fact.
Fiva hundred dollars will settle the
question. . Can we afford to leave it
unsettled?
It is too soon after the removal
of obstructions to navigation at the
Cascades to measure the benefits to
be derived therefrom. It is too soon
to yet measure the distance or name
the territoiy that will be benefited in
greater or less tdegree by the cora
jjletion of this great work. The
Dalles will pf course, from its posi
tion at the head of navigation, and
from the fact that it is also the only
Eastern Oregon point on that part of
the Columbia now open to tide water,
which is also in communication with
any large nrea of country, receive
more substantial benefits than any
other point. Heretofore the coun
try lying south of us has re
ceived its supplies from this point to
the distance of 200 and 250 miles.
Klickitat county, Washington, to the
north, Crook, Lake and Grant to the
south, have received a large portion
ot their supplies here and shipped
from here a large portion of their
products. Sherman and Morrow
counties have dealt with us largely.
That the area of our trade is to be
increased cannot be doubted. The
completion of the work at the Cas
cades has made The Dalles a com
petitive point, and hereafter freight
rates from the East will not be great
er to tnis point man to 1'ortiana
Seattle or Tacoma. What does this
mean? It means that the wholesale
merchant who desires can locate here
and supply the rich agricultural and
stock country tributary tb this point
much more cheaply than from any
other. It means that The Dalles can
as a commercial center, give better
rates on merchandise to points east
of us along the O. R. k N. than Tort-
land or any other place. It means
that the area of country tributary to
The Dalles will be doubled, because
Portland wholesale prices can be
met here.. It means the cheapest
possible freight rates on all products
of the country seeking market, and
on all merchandise imported. It
means unexampled business prosper
ity for The Dalles, and its speedily
taking its place as a new and im
portant business center.
It means more for The Dalles
than for-any other place; but
means a great deal for a great many
other points. Wasco and Klickitat
counties ship yearly 1,500,000 bush
els of wheat, and for every bushel
the farmer will now receive from 5
to 8 cents more than he otherwise
would. Sherman county ships from
1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bushels of
wheat, and on this vast amount from
3 to 5 cents a bushel will be added
to what would otherwise be the
price, lnis means that f iou,uuu to
$200,000 will be left yearly with the
farm ere that otherwise they would
not have received. Not only this,
but the enhanced price will cause an
increase in the acreage that will add
considerable to the above sums.
The Dalles has shipped usually
from 5,000,000-to 6,000,000 pounds
of wool yearly, and while the riyer
competition heretofore has done won
ders towards giving us cheap freight
rates, it is safe to say that they will
be yet further reduced. , Our sheep-
owneis will gain at least a cent a
pound, or will at any rate be able to
maintain the present low freight
rates, if indeed, they do not some
what improve on them. This means
to this industry alone $60,000, and
in the country tributary to The
Dalles nearly double that sum. It
puts us in shape to offer such prices
for wool that whether it is brought
here or not, the grower will get the
benefit of our prices, since they will
justify him in hauling it here if bet
ter rates are not offered him than he
has heretofore been able to command.
All this section will be able to
compete with down-river points for
the Portland market in vegetables
and small fruits, and this is by no
means a small matter. Our fruit in
dustries will be largely stimulated,
and more than all, as business begets
business, our population will rapid iy
increase, giving our farmers a large
and profitable home market.
scoured, and the same amount to be
put into blankets and woolen goods
for our own people. .' It' will be seen
that it is more profitable, instead of
shipping hides to the East and im
porting shoes and boots, to tan and
make them here.
All In all, the future of The Dalles
appears indeed bright, and we pre
dict for hei an increase in popula
tion that will make her second only
to Portland in the cities of this state,
and that will cause her to maintain
her well earned reputation of being
the best city of size on the coast
It may truthfully be said of her that
she has never had a business failure
of any magnitude, and the number
of successful and prosperous men on
the coast who first laid the founda
tion of their foi tunes in the little
city of The Dalles, would almost
equal her present population.
With the coming of spiiag The
Dalles begins an era of business

amendment proposed provides that

Appropriation for Survey.
Ia conversation with the chief clerk of
the surveyor general's office recently.
he informed me that the regular appro
prixtion for surveys in Oregon was now
available, and that while he had caneed
a statement to that effect to be pub
lished, no petitions bad been sent in so
far, except two from Western Oregon
the appropriation amounts to some
thing over $13,000 and settlers in East
ern Oregon, who reside on unsurveyed
lands and desire a survey, should at once
write to the surveyor general's office
for information and blank petitions,
which, on being properly filled out as to
township, range and sections, fractional
or otherwise, and forwarded to the. but
veyor general, will receive due attention.
Eastern uregon naa Mr some years re
ceived a very small quantity of the
money expended for surveying, and
a liberal circulation of this item by the
newspapers will result in a fair propor
tion of the appropriation being distrib
uted here.

It is believed the tramp found dead at
Weston a few days ago was killed the
night the flooring mills burned at that
place, Monday, October 19th. At that
time, Section Foreman Wright saw
three men around a camp fire in the
hobo thicket, and beard them talking
loudly. Next morning Agent Wolf saw
a car link in the road leading to the
depot, this having doubtless been
dropped after the coupling pin was se
cured. Two of the men, it ia thought,
murdered their companion in his Bleep,

Interesting Information that Should be Care
fully Read by the Fair Sex. :;
It Treats of the Dangers of Procrastination. Points
out the Way to Relief from Various Ills The
Stoiy of a Mother and Daughter.
A story Mmarkable in many respects is
told by Mrs. George Argile which contains
much information which will be appreciated
by thousands of women who are suffering
as she did, and they will find relief from all
their trouble, so easily, so quickly, and so
permanently that they will wonder how the
possibility came about.
Mr. George. Argile left his native home in
Yorkshire, England, eight years ago to em
brace thejrreater opportunities this country
offered. He was fortunate in immediately
securing a responsible position on his
arrival in Chicago with the Chicago and
Rock Island Railroad Company. Faithful
to his duties he received recognition by pro
motions and to-day is in sole charge of the
team tracks ot this great railway system.
The position is known in railroad circles as
foreman ot tne teams that loaa ana unioaa
freight.
Alter one year and a half in the employ
of this road he sent for his wife and children,
who arrived salely here ana in gooa health.
After some two years resideuce here Mrs.
Argile commenced to feel badly. Like
thousands of other women she had womb
trouble of over twenty years standing. At
first this trouble, in Chicago, was not suf
ficiently acute to interfere materially with
her household duties, but in course of
months it developed to such a degree that
it proved exceedingly paintul to her to at
tend to the many little duties required to
keep a house neat ana tidy. 1 his condition
continued to grow worse and worse till she
was forced to recognize that if she did not get
skillful medical aid, she would grow into a
confirmed invalid. During this period a
neighbor whom she had known for qnite 1
while told her that she was using Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People with ex
cellent results,, and she believed that they
would rid her of all her troubles without
the aid of any physician. Having conn
denee in her neighbor's words she com
menced to take the pills some mi months
ago ana lound that after, taking the hrst box
she felt an improvement, not great, but
sufficient to realize that if this better feeling
continued sue would be on tne right road.
With the second box, she knew that she
was getting better, as she gained both flesh
and strength, felt a buoyancy of spirit she
had not experienced in years, and the pains
from which she had suffered so much were
Suickly growing less. To-day it has been
ve months since she began taking the pills.
She is relieved of all her pains, has regained
her strength, so that she is able to work all
day, and it is only when she overexerts her
self that she has any indication of pains,
which would also happen to a perfectly well
woman. "
This is the story of what Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People have done for her,
and of course she is well satisfied with the
benefits she has received. But this does not
end by any means what she has still further
to teQ, and what is more she speaks with the
same knowledge she has of her own case,
the case of her little daughter Emily who is
15 years old. She says in regard to her "about
three years ago Emily in the summer months
when diphtheria was prevalent, was taken
down with it. She was very ill and had a
serious time of it for weeks. Several times
I doubted whether she would pull through
bnt thanks to her strong constitution she got
better and after many weeks was about
again. I noticed, however, that something
was left in her throat which seemed to effect
her. Then, too, she did not regain her old
lively spirit; She was languid in her mere
merits, she complained of being tired and

Her condition dnr-
was
ing the following year after ber sickness did
not improve, in fact, I thought it was a little
worse. The second year, I know it was ;
but probably being with her constantly did
not fully realize that she was decidedly get
ting in a very bad way.
It was ouly in the forepart of last year
that 1 became seriously alarmed, as her lan
guidness, her constant tiredness increased
and she became so nervous and so fretful
that if any person spoke to her, it would
make her cry. Her appetite got poorer with
every month and I did really wonder how
the little thing could live on what she ate.
Her complexion became sallow and assumed
a greenish hue, and she became what I called
'skin and bones' very thin indeed. This
was her condition some four months ago.
It was at this time that I had taken a few of
the pills, and commencing to get faith in
them I made Emily take them. I say, im
mediately she felt better, perhaps that is not
?uite true, but certainly after the third week
could see an improved condition in her,
and this improvement continued up to the
second month, slowly but surely. Then the
her appetite returned and grew better with
every day. she commenced to fatten up. she
became more cheerful and lively and her
nervousness at times left her altogether.
"In the last two weeks her complexion
has regained the perfect color of health her
cheeks are fleshy and plump and she is as
lively as a cricket. Her appetite well the
less said about that the better, she is eating
all the time, and all the time is hungry.
When she now comes home from school, in
stead of listlessly crawling into the house
to lie down to rest, she is romping all oyer
the house and cries 'Mother you ckm't
know how good it feels to be full of life,
how glad I am that I don't feel tired any
more.' She has completely thrown off her
nervousness, and all those symptoms which
for three long years made me fear very
much that she had not long to live.
"All this I know to be due to Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills because she has taken
nothing else, and I am indeed thankful that
Providence brought the thought to me of giv
ingthem a trial, know what a bad condition I
was in before I took them, and I saw tha
condition my daughter Emily was in. To
day both of us look and are well. I can do
the work in my house every day as I did
formerly without any trouble and Emily is
one of the liveliest, most cheerful and plump
girls in our neighborhood, and that is say
ing a good deal as the children around us
are noted for splendid health and excellent
spirits. We live at 4760 Wentworth Aye.
" The above is a correct statement of the
facts concerning my case and that of my
daughter Emily.
