Blackwood declared it was the "only

OREGON'S FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
On Way to Portland to be Exhibited at
Exposition.
Portland, March 2. One exhibit at the
Lewis & Clark Exposition, which will
attract something more than usual in
terest, will be the first locomotive used
in this state, a mere pigmy when com
pared with the massive engines of to
day, weighing as it does, but ten tons.
This "baby" Locomotive, was built in
San Francisco, 1861-62, and' imported
here. For two years it made daily runs
on wooden rails over a seven mile track
along the Columbia river. At the ex
piration of that time, it was sold to
David Heines, a 49'er, who returned it
to the California metropolis.
Mr. Heines now vouchsafes his inten- i
i
tion to exhibit the diminutive locomotive j
at the World's Fair, where he will place
it along side of a 90-ton leviathan, re
cently constructed for the Oregon Rail

dead, so to speak. But how to se
cure a pay roll ?
"It is patent that the poor man
the laborer cannot be expected to
create a pay roll. So we must look
to the rich and fadrly well-to-do
man for this creation. But there is
the sticking point. Such a man is
already independent in a sense and
is generally discreet enough to try
and '"make sure" before he invests
in any business that will provide
means of substance for any number
of people. He must exercise good
judgment in determining what is
a proper business in which to en
, gage. Must consider the country,
its -products, and community, less
needs.
"Having determined all this, he
next gives attention to the temper
of his fellow men. Here his heart
may fail him, for few, if any will
'patronize home industry5 if the
home manufactured article can be
secured for a few cents elsewhere.
"This sort of thing is what is re
tarding the growth of Oregon, and
all of the small towns, Corvallis
among the rest. And the people are
to blame. Never a week passes that
orders do not go from this city to
some other place for something that
could have been secured here. In
purchasing at home, you may pay
out a few cents more for a given
thing, but your money is here. Its
presence is necessary to the life of
the place in which you reside. You
look to your home town to supply
you a living you owe it something.
In a degree the possibility of creat
ing a pay roll is in your own hands,
be you rich or poor."

men lor iy04, while Ireland con
tributed considerably more women
than men to her immigration in
1903 and 1904. The returns are
so different from those of all other
countries that they have exceptional
interest and we present them as
follows: 1903 1904.
Men 17,477 21,308
Women 20,946 28,111
The figures as a whole suggest
that the influence of the immigra
tion that has been largest of late
years is no properly gauged by he
separate totals. Where the percent
age of women is high there is a
greater permanence that offsets
mere members to a considerable
extent.

by a careful examination of the exhibits
characteristic of the earlier history of

FOLDS COVERED WASHINGTON.
Quilt of Historic Interest May Be Seen
at Exposition.
Portland, March 2. Secretary Henry
Reed of the Lewis & Clark Fair is in
receipt of a letter from Mrs. O. W. Saun
ders of Kalama, Wash., in which . she
states that she is desirous of exhibit
ing at the World's Fair, a quilt used by
the immortal George Washington dur
ing the . revolution. -
The quilt, claims Mrs. Saunders, is
the handiwork of a woman who resided
in Cortland county. New York, in the
Revolutionary period. This woman danc
ed with General Washington at many
social functions, and during the strife
among King George's and Washington's
forces, distinguished herself by melting
valuable pewter for use as bullets.
Washington, it is said, wore the quilt
through the war, and its folds are said
to have protected him from the intense
cold at Valley Forge.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
ber, and overcomes that unpleasant ne-
cessity of being compelled to go otten
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
