PEN'DLETOX. Or., Feb. 4. The Pendle
ton Commercial Association this evening
i'atly refused to adopt the resolution
which the Lewiston Commercial Club
asked that the association here telegraph
to its Senators and Representatives in
Congress, demanding that they oppose all
Federal appropriations for the Columbia
K.ver unless at this time provision was
made for the Dalles-Celilo canal. T. C.
Taylor, a member of the association and
president of the last Oregon Senate, made
a motion that the Lewiston request be
returned ungranted. It was unanimously
adopted. The Lewiston Club sent a letter
saying: "Owing to the community of In
terests In opening the Columbia River to
navigation, "we request that you telegrapn
your Senators and Representatives the
subjoined message, a copy of which wc
have wired the Idaho delegation. We be
lieve It will have the desired effect. All
Interested towns have been likewise re
quested." The message of the Lewiston
organization follows:
"We demand our representatives In Con
gress to Insist on the adoption of Harts
plan for the Dalles-Celilo canal, and some
appropriation under the continuous con
tract system, and to fight the remainder
of the bill until granted. The entire
Northwest, excepting Cortland, is opposed
to further appropriation for the mouth
of the Columbia River, unless the canal Is
concurrently provided for."
The sentiment of the Pendleton associa
tion is that It would be suicidal to oppose
needed improvements at the mouth of the
river in the event a Celilo appropriation
was denied by the rivers and harbors
committee. The association held its an
nual election of oilicers this evening,
which resulted as follows: President,
Leon Cohen; vice-president. Dr. F. V.
Vincent; secretary. J. F. Robinson; treas
urer. J. R. Dickson, board of managers.
R. Alexander, J. A. Borie, C. E. Roose

Fine Addrcinen by ViwItorH and Stu
dent at Monmouth.
MONMOUTH. Or., Feb. 3. Commence
ment exercises at the State Normal
School, consisting of a musical and liter
ary programme, came to'a close last night.
The salutatory address, "-Modern Educa
tion." was delivered by Miss Edvarda
Erickson." followed by an address on
"Ancient and Modern Homes." by Miss
Olive Lambright. Following the rendition
of a piano duet was an address by Miss
Katie Storts, on "Pestalozzi." The pa
pers presented by the young ladles reflect
ed much to their credit, and received
hearty applause. The annual address to
the class was delivered by Ernest Bross,
managing editor of The Oregonlan. The
tpcaker urged the necessity for a broad,
liberal view of life, especially touching
racial hatred, religion and politics, placing
at the foundation the cardinal principles
of charity and liberty. "The future hope
lies In the environment and training of
the youth of our land." said the speaker.
The class was especially warned of the
danger of too narrow a view of life's pos
sibilities. The address was one of the
best ever delivered to any class In the
state. The large audience showed its
appreciation of the address by its enthusi
astic applause.
After the address a solo was rendered
by S. W. Doughty, in his usual pleasant
way. The school opens the second semes
ter with an increased attendance. The
executive committee Is In session, trans
acting the general monthly business.
LORD SIIOLTO DOUGLAS IN SrOKANE
"Want to Invent In That City With a
View of MnklnK It IIIn Home.
SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 4. Lord Sholto
Douglas, brother of the Marquis of
Queensberry. is in Spokane, and has pur
chased a saloon and lodging-house..
"I'm buying the saloon for my brother-in-law,"
declared his Lordship yesttrday,
"but I may knock about the place a
month or so mjself, you know."
The saloon is the Enterprise, on Lower
Howard street. Proprietor Peterson ad
mitted last night that the place had been
sold to Lord Sholto for fl750. his Lordship
to assume a mortgage of 51000. "His
Lordship gave me a check on a Tacoma
bank for the amount." said Mr. Peterson,
"and if I hear tomorrow that the check
has been paid, I'll ir.rn the place over to
him."
The sale of the saloon was the cause of
a fist fight between Peterson and Chester
Edwards, who negotiated the sale. Ed
wards says his Lordship has stopped pay
ment of the check. Lord Sholto fences on
this point.
"I like Spokane." he said, "and I'm go
ing to buy the saloon if I'm not given too
blooming much notoriety, don't you know.
I want to live here. I like the town. But
everywhere I go the blooming "Western
newspapers write me up. My wife and 1
arc willing to live here, but we do love
peace and quiet. I have about f.,000 or
fCO.000, and I'd be willing to spend some
of it here."
Lady Sholto Douglas was the daughter
of a San Francisco policeman named
.Mooney. Her stage name was Addjs. She
formerly lived in Spokane, and has many
friends here.
CITY MAY PUT IN LIGHT PLANT.
Baker AValtlnic to See Whether Fran
chise It Granted Is Accepted.
BAKER CITY. Feb. 4. The City Council
Is determined that there shall be some
thing done In the way of public Improve
ments this season. It appears that the
proposition to pave two of the principal
streets will fail because of opposition of
the property-owners. The members of the
Council evidently feared the paving prop
osition would fall, so several Improve
ment schemes were launched at the time
It was decided upon. A survey has been
ordered for a sewerage system, and If A.
B. Frame, of Portland, does not accept
the electric light franchise granted him,
the electric light bonds will be sold at
once. These bonds were voted by the peo
ple last Spring, for the purpose of erect
ing a municipal electric light plant.
The matter has been held In abeyance
for several months, pending the consider
ation of two or three propositions of pri
vate corporations to light the city. A. JJ.
Frame, of Portland, was the last person
to make a proposition. It is understood
he does not like some of the restrictions
placed on him by the ordinance, and Is in
doubt about accepting the franchise. If
he does not accept it the Council will go
ahead with the municipal plant.

SEATTLE. Feb. 4. -yvith General
Charles King, their old brigade com
mander, the ex-Washington volunteers
tonight celebrated the third anniversary
of the battle of Santa Ana, In which they
first smelled the smoke of war. It was
the third observance of the kind held by
the former soldiers from this state, and
never has the day aroused no much enthu
siasm In the breasts of the gallant repre
sentatives of this state in the Philippine
Islands since their return from the seat
of war. Nearly 200 members of the old
regiment collected In the city from all
parts of the state to not only do honor to
the day, but also show their pride In the
soldier-writer under whom they once
marched to victory. General King ar
rived early In the afternoon by the North,
ern Pacific Railroad from the East. He
was met and received at the depot by a
committee appointed by the Volunteers
Association. The members of the com
mittee were: Fred Wood, S. F. Gorham,
Cal Wclbon and August Toellner. Many
of their comrades, however, were also
present, and General King was given a
splendid reception. Later In the afternoon
General King held a public reception at
the Rainier Grand Hotel. In the evening
the banquet took place.
Great It u nil for Tlmlier Land.
CORVALLIS, Feb. 4. Timber specula
tors are laying hands on all timber that
can be secured in Benton County. Of a
large section in the vicinity of Mary's
Peak everything available has been taken
up. About 3700 acres was filed on there
in a single day. The same activity Is
manifest in King's Valley, tributary to
the Luckiamutc River. Cruisers are
abundant in the locality now, and Inqui
ries, with reference to available timber
in the vicinity are received every day.
Most of the Inquiries come from Portland
people. Most of the King's Valley timber
has been claimed, and speculators will get
little or nothing there. Logging is actu
ally in progress there now, on tracts of
timer that 10 years ago people believed
never would be used for commercial pur
poses. Steel Company I2Iccts Officers.

HAYES QUITS THE BONANZA.
Disposes of His Interest In Famous
Mine to Ills Associates.
BAKER CITY, Feb. 4. The deal that
has been pending for some time between
P. P. Hayes, president of the Bonanza
Mine Company, and tho minority stock
holders of the corporation, according to
what seems to be good authority, has been
closed, and Mr. Hayes will retire. Owing
to a disagreement between the minority
stockholders and the president, there has
been more or less friction Jn the conduct
of the affairs of the company. Some
months ago the opposition to -Hayes
metbod of conducting the business of the
mine- resulted in an offer On the Dart or
1 the men who comprised the minority, to j
purchase the Interest of Mr. Hayes and j
his friends. The mine was originally sold
by Albert Geiser and associates for ?500.
000 to Mr. Hayes, who had associated with
him a number of Pennsylvania capitalists,
who are also heavy stockholders In the
Standard OH Company. Mr. Hayes re
tained a majority of the stock of the Bo
nanza, and, of course, controlcd the mine.
The Bonanza has proved to be a veritable
bonanza, and since the present corpora
tion has had control of the property, the
monthly output has been $50,000 to $100,000.
The retirement of Mr. Hayes from the
Bonanza does not mean that he Is to re
tire from the Eastern Oregon mining field.
He is Interested, or at least there is good
reason to believe he is interested In the
move to straighten out the affairs of the
Baisley-Elkhorn, and put the mine to
work again.
The Baisley-Elkhorn Is so badly involved
In litigation that the prospects were fav
orable for a Hong tie-up In the courts.
Most of the disagreeable litigation has
been brought to a close by the purchase
of the claims against the company for 50
cents on tho dollar. The purchase or

TO AID OF WILLAMETTE
SALEM VOLUNTAIUHY PLEDGED
?2500 ON DEBT OF 'VARSITY.
Campaign for Funds Ilep;InH Tomor
row President Coleman Will
Give the Last $1000.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 4. "Christian educa
tion is a profitable investment and a,
good preparation for service In the world's
work," was the leading sentiment in. to
day's deliberations at the educational con
vention. - Salem people are beginning to
reullze anew the Importance of this truth,
and are in consequence taking renewed In
terest In welfare of Willamette University
No effort is. being made to solicit funds
at this convention, and yet ?2500 has been
voluntarily given toward payment of the
university's debt. That success will re
ward the -efforts to be put forth in the
campaign for funds to begin Thursday is
now confidently felt by friends of the
school. At all three sessions of the con
vention today large audiences, including
many representative business men, greet
ed the speakers. .
At the forenoon session the address was
delivered by Dr. T. B. Ford on the sub
ject, "The Duty of the Methodist Epis
copal Church to Higher Education in
Oregon." The principal thought was that
since higher education tends to aid Indi
vidual and social progress, it is the duty
of the church to support all educational
institutions, whether under the control of
the state or private corporations, but
especially should the church give liberal
assistance to those schools which impart
Chrittian education.
When tho afternoon session was called
to order. Bishop Cranston read to the con
vention the editorial in today's Oregonlan
commending the work of Willamette Uni
versity, and setting forth the claim which
the Institution has on the community and
church for liberal support. The editorial
was accorded a generous round of ap
plause, and a resolution was unanimously
adopted thanking The Oregonlan for its
kind assistance In behalf of Oregon's pio
neer educational institution.
Rev. G. H. Bennett of Woodburn. read a
paper on "The Importance of Christian
Culture In Our Educational System." He
advocated Christian, though not denom
inational, culture in both public and pri
vate schools, and said that atheism tends
to anarchy.
Professor J. T. Matthews read a paper
on "The Origin, History and Growth of
Willamette University," tracing the story
of the school from Its foundation in the
early days as the old Oregon. Institute.
At the evening session Mayor Bishop
presided. In a few introductory remarks
he reviewed the benefits derived by Salem
from Willamette University, and said it
Is "up to us" to see that the school shall
prosper.
Dr,, McDowell said In his address that
higner education may be regarded as
duty, necessity, advantage, opportunlty
or privilege, according to the point of
view from which it is considered. Con
tinuing, he said: "In relation to what one
may be or do In thcworld it should be
regarded as a privilege the privilege of
every boy and girl who desires to make
every possible preparation for a life of
useful service. Education Is a debt which
the present owes to the future. It Is a
safe Investment, better than real estate
or "'securities.' In the panic of 1S33 many
a piece of paper elaborately printed and
called 'security' became worthless except
as waste paper. A college diploma repre
sents a kind of value that will be, worth
10") cents on the dollar when the sun
grows cold and. the leaves of the judgement-book
unfold. Men of higher educa
tion who experienced the tempest of 1SU3
may have thrown- a few 'things over
board, but they did not go down in the
storm."
Mr. Mills said that every age incarnates
Itself in some man or measure. He then
went on to say: "The thank offering is
the representative movement of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church In this decade. It
means not only the gathering of ?20.00Q.OCO
for the strengthening of the church, but
for the deepening nnd ejulckening of its
life. Thirteen thousand Methodists In
New Hampshire have paid 5200,000 on their
conference seminary. A thousand German
Methodists In Oregon have given' $20.00)
as a thank offering. If new churches and
parsonages were counted, as in the move
ment in 1S66, we would have ?2",000.000 now
for the 20th century offering. Last year
I was in 34 different states. Many of the
places I visited will be forgotten, but 1
will hold In memory Salem, because it is
to be the home of a dear friend, the
Godly and gifted Dr. John II. Coleman,
the new president of Willamette Uni

"Pathfinder" Also Denied.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Feb. 4. Reports
being circulated in the East to the effect
that Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, widow
of General Fremont, the "Pathfinder," Is
ill and needy, are somewhat misleading.
It Is true that Mrs. Fremont is crippled
and will never again be able to walk
Some time ago she fell, dislocating her
hip. Since then she has been helpless, so
far as walking Is concerned, and has re
quired the constant attendance of a
trained nurse. Her general health, how
ever, is good.
Mrs. Fremont has been receiving from
the Government a. pension of $2000 a year,
and this, together with the comfortable
home which the women of California pro
vided for her some yqars ago. served Very
well for herself and daughter. Miss Fre

rendered her helpless and made necessary

misfortune. Now Miss Fremont says the
What suffering woman would not look younger if she could be freed from the continual dbfresf
of female suffering ? There are thousands of women in every city whose bleared eyes, wasted faces
and expression of hopelessness makes them unattractive, unlovely creatures. Female suffering Is
irritating them into a frenzy. They can't be happy. They can't be attractive or get anything worth
having out of life under such a nervous strain. But relieve them of the painful periods, the suffering
and agony, the dizziness and continued distress and a little hope and sunshine enters their lives and ajrt

THE EMXIR OF LIFE.
The Secret of it Revealed.
The old philosophers had a dream that
there existed or could be compounded a
rejuvenating. elixir, by the use of which
men could live on and on ia youthful
vigor and enjoyment. Some thought
that there was a fountain of youth to be
discovered, and so went far afield to seek
it. They failed to find the fountain, but
they found new lands. Others shut
themselves in secret chambers and with
crucible, alembic and retort sought to
distil this elixir. They too failed, but
they created chemistry. Only a few
years ago Dr. Brown-Sequard was an
nounced as having at last discovered
this precious elixir. But his discovery
also failed under test. And yet the elixir
of life exists. It is such a common-place
thing that we overlook it.
The real elixir of life is the food we eat.
All physical life is sustained by food,
and food alone. You can't live without
eating. But you can eat without living.
Because it is not what is eaten which,
sustains life, but only so much of it as is
digested and assimilated. That is -why
physical weakness and wasting of the
body point inevitably to disease of the
stomach and its allied organs of digestion,
and nutrition.
NO MAN CAN BE STRONGER THAN HIS
STOMACH.
In a condition of perfect health the
measure of a man's strength would be
the quantity of nutrition contained in
Ike food eaten. When there is disease
of the stomach and its allied organs, the
measure of strength is the quantity of
nutrition extracted from the food eaten.
Disease of the stomach means loss of
nutrition, and loss of nutrition means
weakness. That is why weak stomach
means weak man. Stomach "trouble"
which is spoken of so lightly is often the
root of heart trouble," lung w trouble,"
kidney "trouble," etc These are all
organs of the bod3, and when the body
as a whole is deprived of nutrition be
cause of "weak" stomach, the organs
which make up the body are, of course,
the real sufferers.
If this theory is not sound how can
we account for the cures of heart, liver,
lungs, kidneys, etc., by Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discover', which is es
sentially a medicine for the cure of dis
ease of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition ? Such cures are
a matter of constant surprise to those
who sought only relief from stomach
"trouble" and found health for the whole
body in the use of the " Golden Medical
Discover)."
"I had been afflicted for four years
with what the doctors 0'ed indigestion
and liver complaint," writes Mr. J. M.
Clark, of Heard, Tenn. "I had tried

WEIGHT IS THE WTTNESS.
There is a witness to theonndness of
the cures effected by "Golden Medical
Discovery," whose testimony is unim
peachable. It is the witness of weight.
There's no sentiment in the scales. No
imagination in the pound weights. They
deal absolutely with the solid facts of
solid flesh. When a man is sick with
indigestion and liver complaint he gen
erally loses flesh. When he takes
"Golden Medical Discovery" and cures
tne inaigesuon ana uver
complaint his lost flesh ia
regained. That was the
case with Mr. Clark. He
gained twenty-two pounds
as the result of his cure ;
twenty-two pounds of
solid flesh, not flabby fat.

Would have death -like

I decided to consult Dr.
R. V. Pierce, and his staff of physicians.
They said my case was curable and I was
greatly encouraged. I began taking Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Pellets,' as advised. Before I
had taken half of the second bottle I
began to feel relieved. I got six more
bottles and used them, and am happy to
say I owe my life to Dr. Pierce and his
medicines. These words are truths, as I
live, so if this testimonial can be used
in any way to be of benefit you need not
hesitate to use it. I shall stand for the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute as
long as life lasts."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
purifies the blood, and builds up the
bodj with sound flesh and solid muscle.
It is the best of tonics for those in
a debilitated and nervous condition,
speedily restoring them to vigorous
health.
Those who suffer from chronic dis
eases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce,
by letter, free. All correspondence
strictly private. Address Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation
by letter, is not to be confused with the
spurious offers of " free medical advice "
made by men or women without med
ical knowledge or training, and who are
therefore incapable of giving genuine
medical advice.
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make the little more
profit paid by the sale of less meritorious
medicines. He gains ; you lose. There
fore accept no substitute for " Golden
Medical Discovery."
