The Right Word.
There is a wurious species of writers
on railroad subjects, some of them ed
itors of railway journals, who express
themselves as if they had never heard
of a loooinoUve engineer. Their pens
move with contempt and anger when
the nnsizestion la made that men who
manage locomotives have the right to
be called engineers. The snob writers
mention enginemen, runners and en
sine runner, but never locomotive
engineers. They shudder to call any
one an engineer who does not oarry in
bis pocket a college graduate's diplo
ma. Moved by this snobbish sent!
ment. some railroad companies call
their engineers "enginemen," but it
does cot appeal to publio taste. The
American public has decided that the
title of the man running is engineer,
and nothing that envy or. petty jeal
ousy can do will ever take that appel
latlon away from the popular tongue!

Portland Markets
There was considerable strength
shown in the barley market today on
acooont I the increased demand both
from the local territory aud from Call
(oroia.
The prospeot of the government bay
ing large supplies ot oats here, has
had a tendency to make the dealers
here hold, and the demand is not large,
but the tone is sound and firm.
Everything Is doll In the wheat
market, and prices remain the same,
with no prospect of an immediate
change.
The poultry market is sick, as the
receipts are not large, and there does
not seem to be much of a demand.
Thore Is a shortage In turkeys, and
moderate receipts would obtain good
prices.
The creamery batter market is doll
er on account of heavy receipts from
the local territory.

1 think it is only right tbit I should
tell you whst a wonderful effect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
produced . The day before Eatter I
was so distressed with a oold and
cough tbst I did net think so be abla
to tske any duties the next day, as my -voice
was almost choked by the cough
The same day I received an order
from you for a bottle ol your Cough
Remedy. I at onoe procured a sample ,
bottle and took about three doses of
the medicine. To my great relief tne
cough and oold had completely disap
peared and I was able to preach th-ee
times on Easter Day. I know thai
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough Remedy. I make thfs
tettimonial without solicitation, being
tbankfnl lo have found such a God-
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,
