FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1905.
It is not too early to begin decorat
ing for the G. A. R. Encampment and
the Firemen's Tournament and Fourth
of July Celebration. It is but a short
time until the old soldiers will be with
us and the city should be in its best
dress. Let the work of decorating be
gin at once and then something will be
accomplished.

One of the best illustrated special
editions that has been published by any
Willamette Valley paper was that of
the Independence Enterprise, edited
by Walter Lyon. This paper was is
sued last week and contained a com
plete review of the various resources
and industries of the country, illus
trated with a great number of splendid
pictures. Such enterprise as this is
to be commended. Especially so in
this instance for the write-uups were
confined entirely to a reliable and sta
tistical review of the county without
employing the usual amount of hot air
inflation.

Some criticism has been offered on
the use of the whipping post as a
means of meting out deserved punish
ment to wife-beaters. It is designated
by some of the critics as a relic of
barbarism. But wife-beating has be
come a too common thing to pass
without treating the bully who inflicts
such treatment to something Just as
Interesting. In the first place the man
who strikes a woman Is a coward and
when one of these physical giants, for
you seldom find a wife-beater who
takes anything like equal chances,
beats his wife until her features are
almost unrecognizable, then the whip
ping post and the vigorous laying on of
the lash is none to good.

THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSI
TION. In his address at the opening of the
Portland Fair, Vice-President Fair
banks quoted Mr. McKinley's phrase,
"Expositions are the timekeepers of
progress." Certainly the story of the
development of the "Oregon country,"
the Pacific West and the whole terri
tory traversed by Lewis and Clark is
a marvelous record of steady and ex
traordinary progress, and it is well to
pause in the strenuous activities of the
present day and contemplate for awhile
the achievements celebrated by such
an exhibition as Oregon is now hold
ing and asking the citizens of her sis
ter states to Yisit and admire.
The Lewis and Clark exhibition com
memorates a significant event in
American and world history an event
to which John Flske refers in the fol
lowing terms: "The progress across
the continent begun by CXamplaln was
thus completed, 200 years later, by
Lewis and Clark." It marks, to use
President Roosevelt's words, "a feat
of exploration a century ago which was
the first step in the expansion of this
republic westward across the conti
nent, the most important step in chan
ging a straggling line of seaboard com
monwealths into a mighty continental
nation."
The statesman who ordered the step
It is the sheerest commonplace to aay,
did not forsee all the consequence of
his action, but he was wise and far
sighted enough to appreciate the value
an importance of the task intrusted to
the brave and enterprising captains
in connection with the Louisiana pur
chase. The expedition confirmed our
title to the "Oregon country" and gave
the United States a coast line, thus
leading to the acquisition of California
half a century later.
And if the event was worthy of sig
nal commemoration the people of
Portland, the state and the whole Pa
cific Coast have deserved well of the
country by the worthy and character
istically western manner in which
they have carried their enterprise to
Completion. The fair was nnenol nn
the day originally named, and every
thing was in a state of entire readi
ness. The managers and exhibitors i
have done their work well, and It is !
now for the people of the region west !
of the Rocky Mountains, and by no j
means for them alone, to show their
ayyi eciauuu 01 me worn ana us nne
results.
Go West, young man, and you who
are no longer as young as when Chi
cago was celebrating a grander event,
and see what Industry, freedom and
manifest destiny have accomplished in
the short space of a hundred years in
and around the Oregon country. Chi
cago Record-Herald.
THE REST IN A CHANGE OF AC
TIVITY. There has been discussion In Eng
land over the value of indoor gymnas
tics which Professor Muirhead of Bir
mingham University denounces as the
most demoralizing and exhaustive kind
of exercise. The brain, he says, is em
ployed in them as well as the body
and they cannot be regarded as a rest
for the college student
This recalls the common assertion
that the best rest Is a change of work
and suggests that it is by no means
generally true. It often happens that
there is no real rest In anything that
demands effort, physical or mental.
A man starts the day with a certain
amount of vitality and nervous ener
gy. He may be employed at very ex
acting labors in an office which call
for no physical exertion so to speak of.
and yet when the day Is done he may
be Incapable of physical exertton bo
cause his vitality is so great'y drained
by hla mental application.
In a case like this there Is hi t one
proper kind of rest and that is abso
lute repose of body and mind. Gym
nasties, which are uninteresting
enough at best, would be oppressively
exhausting. A brisk walk would add
weariness to weariness. The trouble
Is that the entire stock of vitality has
been depleted to such an extent that
physical and mental force are both af
fected. And the man needs no Instruc
tion as to the remedy that he should
take. He throws himself down on a
couch as a matter of course because
he is so dead tired that he feels that
he can neither stand up nor sit up.
The same law applies to the man
who is first exhausted by physical la
bor. He has drawn on his strength so
largely that there is no rest for him in
a mental problem. If he were to try
serious reading he could not give at
tention to It or hold what he bad read
In his memory.
These, of course, are extreme ex
amples, and not conclusive against the
moderate claim that there is a value
in a change of activities. Light exer
cise may be more than an equivalent
for the couch to the brain-worker, and
one who has been employed at physi
cal labor may find a fresh Interest in
life from reading. But if, say, a game
of golf will tone up the nerves and re
fresh the whole being after Intense
mental application, it is certain that
all supplemental work and all play
must be restricted according to the
amount of one's vitality and of the
necessary labor that one is called upon
to da Exercise may easily be taken
in such measure as to unfit a person
for business of life, and it is so en
ticing that the plea of rest, recupera
tion and gloriously intensified energy
that goes with it is often plain hum
bug, the truth being that this rest Is a
neglect of work for play. Exchange.
ITALIAN IMMIGRATION.
The President's stand on the Immi
gration question increases the proba
bility that the issue may become a
live one when congress opens. The
million poor foreigners who will have
landed on these shores during the
year ending June 30 are more than the
population of eighteen states, and are
more than the population of any Amer
ican city save three. The quality of
the present immlrrarinn a
ally deemed equal to what we used to
,B irom more northern countries
when, also, migration to this country
was caused rather by personal energy
and ambition than by steamship com
panles, foreign police officials, and
American employers of cheap labor.
The Italians, who now lead in num
bers are unmistakably wanted in the
south, and the Italian Ambassador has
been working hard to turn his country
men towards the Southern States. A
lawyer from New Orleans sends us an
estimate that about ten million Ital
ians would be welcome in the South.
Some interesting defences of the Ital
ian character are made. The secre
tary and treasurer of a New Jersey
bank writes that in his city the mem
bers of the Italian colony have gained
so enviable a reputation for honesty,
industry, and enterprise that as bor
rowers they are preferred by some di
rectors for their personal investments
to any other class. "I am beginning
to believe," he adds, "that the various
races that Austria-Hungary and Italy
are sending us have the making of a
fine race of people, or rather that they
are by no means unworthy to be ad
ded to the races that are already here.
We need their robust health, their fine
figures, their often handsome faces,
their ideas of morality and honesty.
In fact, Mr. Editor, it seems to me that
we want to look into this matter be
fore we turn this stream of immigra
tion away. I did not always see this
matter this way, and if you will come
down and examine it at short range
you may discover that you were near
sighted also." Collier's.
o
G. B. Burhani testifies after four years.
G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center, N.
T., writes: "About four years ago I wrote
you statins that I had been entirely cured
of a severe kidney trouble by taking less
than two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure.
It entirely stopped the brick dust sedi
ment, and pain and symptoms of kidney
disease disappeared. I am glad to say
that I have never had a return of any
of those symptoms during the four years
that have elapsed and I am evidently
cured to stay cured, and heartily recom
mend Foley's Kidney Cure to anv one
suffering from kidney or bladder trouble."

The following 1
letter was written
by Mrs. Kellogsr.
ot 1038 Lincoln
Ave., Denver. i
Oola.to Mrs. Pink- i
ham, Lynn.Masa.:
DearMr.Puikheiu:
"Kor Ave rears I
was troubled with a
tumor, which kept
great mental depression. 1 was unable to at-:
tend to my house work ,aud lif e became a bur
den to me. I was confined for days to my bed,
lost my appetite, my courage and all hope. ,
" I could not boar to UiiuE ot an operation, 1
and in my dbtrws I tried every remedy which
I thought would be of any use to me, and
reading of the value of Lydla B. Hnkham's
Vegetable Compound to sick women derided
to cive it a trial I felt so discouraged that I
had little hope of recovery, and when I began
to feel better, after the second week, thought '
it only meant temporary relief; but to my
great surprise i xounu mat i Kept gauung,
while the tumor lessened in size.
"The Compound continued to build no rar
general health and the tumor seemed to be
absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor
was entirely gone and I a well wosnan. 1 em '
so thankful for my recovery that I ask you i
to publish my letter in newpapers. so other j
women may know of the wonderful curative '
powers ot Lydia K. Piiikhain Vegetable -Compound."

When women are troubled with irreg
ular or oainful menstruation, weakness
leucOrrhcea. displacement or ulceration
of the womb, that bearing-down feel
ing, inflammation ot the ovaries, back
ache, flatulence, general debility, indi
gestion and nervous prostration, they
should remember there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham'a Veg
etable Compound at once removes such
trouble.
No other medicine in the world haa
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement. Ko other medicine
has such a record of cures of female
troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine:
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health. Address, Lynn,
Mass.
Health ia too valuable to risk in ex
perimenta with unknown and untried
medicines or methods of treatment.
Remember that it Is Lydla E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound that is curing'
women, and don't allow any druggist
to sell you anything else in its place.

Deserves Your Patronage.
The growth of a community and the
sueceBS of Its local Institutions depends
entirely on the loyalty of Its people. It
Is well enough to preach "patronize home
Industry" but except the service given
at a home Institution equals that of out-of-town
enterprises, this argument car
ries no weight and Is entirely disregard
ed, as It should be. But with Oregon Clt)
people It Is different A few months
ago E. L. Johnson established the Cas
cade Laundry. It Is equipped with the
latest Improved machinery and Is dally
turning out work that la equal to any
and superior to much of the laundry
work that is being done In Portland.
Being a home institution and furnishing
employment for many Oregon City people
it la enjoying an immense patronage.
The high standard of the work being
done commends it to the general public.
Laundry left at the O. K. barber shop will
be promptly called for and delivered to
any part of the city. Telephone 1294.
