The outlook is excellent for a large
holiday trade in Albany this year.
Those who come to Albany to buy will
not be disappointed. The goods are here
in liberal quantity and proper quality,
or will be.- Keep track of the columns
of the Democrat for advice on the sub

live dealers of the city.
If the Democrat was to make a gne
it would be that after the Decern be
deliveries have all been made wheat will
again go down some. This though i?
mere speculation we have learned from
experience that one man knows about as
much about it as another, and there are
few who woald be willing for any one to
act on the wheat question on their ad
vise. That is the position of the Demo
crat. A gypsy is a gypsy. The Salem papers
recently made a big adoo about a girl
that was declared to have beeo abducted
by gypsies. She was taken ears of and
given a home by a kind hearted woman,
bnt it seems that she was really a gypsy,
and after getting a little civilisation
went back to the camp, and will be a
wanderer. Like the Indian she is built
that way, and it seems a hard task to
reclaim them entirely, though some
have been permanently.
Now . Portland is getting down to
business in the right way. She proposes
to have the bulk of the Alaska trade.and
will put on several steaxers, enough to
send one ahead every five days. It has
been figured out that 75,000 people will
co to Alaska next year, and there la
going to be a strife convey to them there
and as well furnish them with supplies
at a fancy profit. At the present time
Seattle has the advantage in the contest.
but there ia not any reason why this
should continue, with Portland's com
neercial standing. All that is necessary
is some of the snap that counts for
gains every time.
In Galacia, in Austrian Poland, there
is a remarkable underground city, which
has a population of over one thousand
men women and children, scores o
which have never seen the light of day.
It ia known as the city of the Salt Joints
and is situated several hundred feet
below the earth's surface. It has its
town hail, theater, and assembly room.
as well as a beautiful cbnrch decorated
with statues, all being fasboned from
be pure crystallized rock salt. It has
well graded streets and spacious squares
lighted with electricity. There are
numerous instances in this underground
city where not a single individual in
three or four generations has ever seen
the sun or has any idea of bow people
live ia the light of day.
' Some people began to think Southern
Oregon was so lawless that it couldn't
enforce its laws, all because the Van
Pelt family defied the officers for several
days, but even Curry county is cot a
lawless section, and it may be depended
upon tbat the laws will be about as
nearly enforced there as any where.
The Van Pelts have been arrested, and
we guess that they will receive justice
quicker than the murderer of Blancbe
Limonte and Minnie Williams down in
tha metropolis of the Pacific coast.
. Probably there is no more law abiding
state in the anion than Oregon. Justice
is generally done here just about as
quickly as any here, thre ia less delay
than in most states, aid the Van Pelts
will probably find it ro . Farther it will
probably be by doe course of law. This
is not a lynching state like California
and Ohio.

Today is the Fiftieth Anniversary of
the Whitman Massacre. Appropriate
exercises in commemoration of the same
are to be held at the opera uouso in Wal
la Walla tr.ie evening at tight o'clock.
Tomorrow there will be a dedication ol
the monument erected to tbe memory of
Dr Marcus Whitman, Mrs Varcissa,
Prentiss Whitman, his wife, missionar
ies of ths American Board, and twelve
others, who were massacred by the Cay
use Ind ans on Monday and Tuesday,
November 29-30 1847, at Waillatpu
Mission about 6 milesneet of the present
Walla Walla.
The monument will be placed near the
site of the massacre and will be unveiled
at eleven AM.
MrRxIgers, who was one o! the vi
tims of the massacre was our teacher.
An incident occurred that winter, that
I have oiten thought of in connection
with Dr Whitman's trsgie death. Many
Pinoetra ro doubt remember that iu tbe
account giveo of the inaesacre, it was
dated tba. Dr Whitman was in the hab
't :f p'trtiag out poison to kill coyotes.
Tr lrdiaus all aver that upper country
ht ' the inwtslej a new kind of sickness
to taem. They treated themselves in
their usual custom, by gcirg into their
awtat houeae and thun pumping in cold
TheeeaUnj process was all
ru hi but the cold bath was almost cer
U t death, and because many died, de
e feing persons made tbem believe the
Do- tor ri poisoning them; for hs did
give the Iudin9 medicine.
One cveuiiip while I was there the
Doctor put out fcome po"son, and tbe
Ett uio.niui we found a dead cojcle in
or near the path leading from the Miss
ion to the grave yard, near the foot of
the hill on which the latter was situated
and not vry far from the graves.
Little did we then th.nx the Doctor
itfeives remains would afterwards be
carried over the spot where his victim
had lain, himsef a victim, in part at
least, on account of his habit of putting
out poison.
That winter a man by the name of
Comfort, if I remember aright; died of
consumption . Tbe Doctor held a post
mortem examination, that we scholars
were permitted to witness. He cot oat
enough of the breast to expose tbe lungs.
Some Indians witnessed tbe examination
and I think the Doctor made it largely
to show them tbe nature of the disease,
as they did not, and many of them donot
now understand its nature. Tbey would
not allow him to operate upon one of
their dead. This man was buried on tbe
hill where Dr and Mrs Whitman's little
daughter Alice was buried, who was
drowned in the Walla Walla river south
of the Mies'on only a tew reds .
I belie re there were other graves,
perhaps of Indians This was the first
funeral of a white person I bad attended.
In May 1S43 as we were being brought
down from the Spokane mission by a
company of aixty volunteers under
Major Magoce, we stopped at the scene
of the massacre. We visited the grave
yard and recognized some threads of
long golden hair I caw scatter around as
being those of Mrs. Whitman.
For years that sacred spot has been
neglected. Only a mde monnd of earth
with a board f enre.to mark tbe spot where
sleep the honoied dead.
For yeara an effort has been made to
raise a monument food for Whitman's
grave. In Jane 1895 I spoke of it in a
short talk I made at the pioneer's re
union at Brownvill,telling the pioneers
it was doe from Linn county where
lived so many of those who saw Whit
man, to contribute somethiog toward
a monument for bis grave.
At last one has been erected through
the efforts of the Whitman Monument
Association. As I understand it, the
monument has not all beeo paid for.
An adult person contributing $1 ot
more becomes a member of the Associa
tion, and in due time will have sent to
them a handsome lithograph certificate
of membership showing monument and
surroundings. SendtoGto.il Himes
Secretary, Whitman's Monument Aeso
riation, 248 Stark street Portland Or.
Tbe cost per share for children is 25
cents. I presume (bey also will receive
a certificate of membership.
Many pioneers who were encouraged
aod helped by Di . vVhitnian.bave joined
him in the silent land. For the take
of his memory and theirs, let those of
ns who remain, and others contribute
our share to this monument, and tbe
certificate neatly framed and hong up
in our home, will attest to oar children
and future generations our loyalty to
the heroic and sainted dead.

From tbe Chicago Chronicle.
It is extremely doubtful if Congress
wonld consent to tbe creation of anew
Bute out of part of New York, whatever
tbe Legislature might say on tbe subject.
While on some accounts it might be des
irable todevidea gna; state having
preponderating influer.ee in close elec
tions, it might cause greater evils to
create a new State of which tbe second
greatest citv in tbe world, with all its I
slum and other evil influences, should
have control.
The Oregon isn devotes nearly thres
pages to tbe Whitman massacre, and in
memory of Marcus Whitman who saved
Oregon. Tbat is less than tbe Examin
er devoted to a game of foot ball, and
certainly it deserved more attention.
No event in tbe history of the North
west is entitled to more notice. But for
Whitman and bis daring trip to the
Northwest, it is probable tbat even now
Oregon and Washington would be a
part of British Colombia, and belong to
England.
All honor to Marcus Whitman on tbis
aoniversary of tbe day on which be gave
ap Lis life for tbe great Northwest.

Jg gives a throb ol

thought of the
blight upon the
poor little

a baby need not

Anymotherwho
Is physically weak and incapable'of bestow
ing a healthy constitution upon her baby
may darken its future with weakness ana
disease.
A prospective mother ought to insure her
baby's welfare by every means that Nature
and science afford to keep her physical
powers up to the very highest point.
Every expectant mother onght to know
and avail herself of the strengthening and
re-enforcing properties of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. It gives health and
endurance to the delicate organs concerned
in motherhood. Taken early during the
period of expectancy, it makes the coming
of baby perfectly safe and comparatively
easy. It makes the mother strong and
cheerful, and gives health and natural vigor
to the child.
It is the only medicine of its kind devised
for weak and delicate women by an edu
cated, experienced physician.
For nearly jo years Dr. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo.

"A Ride That Saved a State j
Four thousand miles from bis cabin door
Tbe Potomic meets the Atlantic. On,
Over the trail grown rough and steep-
Now soft on the snow, now land cn 'he

Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides
"TLe United States must keep Oregon 1'
It was in October when he left
The Walla Walla, though little heed
Paid he to the season.
It was November when they came to
The Icy stream would he hesitate T
Not he! the man who carried a state
At his saddls bow !
It is December as thsy ride,
Slowly across the great divide ;
It was February when they rode -
In Jo Saint Louis !
It was March when be rode, at last,
Into the streets of Wesbintoo.
Tbe warning questions came thick and
i'ast:
'- Dj you know that the British will

If you wait another year, Oregon

You know tbe rest. In tbe books yoo've

A Natural Thing To Do.
France propoeea to pass a prohibitory
tariff discriminating against tbe Cniied
State. "That's natural. If the United
States prohibits other countries from
send:og their goods here it is only nat
ural and proper thaftbey shall retaliate
by prohibiting by high tariffs tbe send
ing of our goods into tbeir coon try.
Tbis is bound if kept up to resn't in a
general discrimination against tbe
United States, which will then have to
depend on the borne market for its busi
ness. But the United States ia tbe
biggest country in tbe world and depends
on the world for its market. It is not
satisfied wi'h this country for its buy
ers. Tbe result must be tbe crippling
of its industries in tbe long ran. A
country should follow the golden rale ss
much as an individual. It should do
unto other countries as it would bare
other eocntries do unto it, aod yet there
are plenty of people, christian people
too, who would entirely igoore tbe rule
in Ea'.iooal affairs. They would like to
have tbis country charge other countries
a very high tariff, bat they want tbe
otbtr country to charge ns no tariff at
all, at least a small one. The whole
business is a narrow and selfish one on
princip'e. Tbe United States is not tns
country it was one hundred years ago.
It 's now able to stand alone, aye more
than tbat, to compete with any nation
in the world, and all of tbem. Its tariff
should be for revenue, equitably adjus
ted.
