C ove , Union Co., March 18th, 1875.
E ditor D emocrat :— Thinking that a few
lines concerning the winter in Grand Ronde
Valley, and its effects on man and beast
might not be altogether uninteresting to
many of the readers of your excellent paper
and particularly to those of them that may,
at one time or another, have lived in this
valley. I beg space in your paper for the
following short epistle:
Our winter set in as fine and promising
as any cue since the settlement o f the coun
ty and continued open and pleasant until
about the 5th day of January, when heavy
aim wing commenced, accompanied with ex-
So, those who have expressed the
opinion that the news was tco good to
be true, will have the pleasant duty
of revising that opinion.
The amount of local aid expected
is not specified. It is probably very
considerable, as it is hardly likely
such aid would have been made a
material point in the preliminary
contract unless it was expected to be
sufficient in amount to lessen the
burden of the enterprise to some ap
preciable extent. It is, therefore to
be presumed there will be before
long an effort to ascertain how'much-
Oregon is willing to help in order to
secure direct railway communication
with the Atlantic States. When the
question epmea to our people in the
shape of a choice, whether they will
help to the extent of their ability, or
miss getting the road, with all its in
calculable benefits to the entire com
munity, we are sure they will not
withhold their aid. Though that
question has not yet been formally
presented to them, the telegram of
Senator Kelly amounts to a notice
that it will be presented; and our
people may as well begin to make up
their minds what they can do in the
premises. In Eastern Oregon there
will surely be no hesitation, and in
this torthern part of Western Ore
gon there can be none. And the en
terprise ought to receive the hearty
encouragement of all pa.rts of the
State, as all must reap great advan
tages from it.
The effect which the successful
prosecution of this great work would
have en the future of Portland can
not be overestimated. Tho City
would leap forward in population,
business interests and wealth, with
a rapidity hitherto undreamed of.
Heal estate would double in value at
the very initiation of active opera

would steadily advance with the gen

A $ 4 .0 0 B o o k F or $ 1 .5 0 .— Tho People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser, in plain
English, or Medicine Simplified: By R. Y.
Pierce, M. D., Counselor-in-Chief of the
Board of Physicians and Surgeons, at the
World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N,. Y. The
above Work—a hook of about nine hundred
large pages, profusely illustrated with Wood
Engravings and Colored plates, and well
and strongly bound—will be sent, post-paid,
to any address, for One Dollar and Fifty
Cents—making it tk e ch ea p est b oolt e v er

er books treating of domestic medicine, of
like size and style of binding, and not near
ly as w;ell illustrated, with no colored plates
and some of them containing no perscript-
ions and making known no means of self
cure for the diseases which they discuss,
sell for from three dollars and a half to five
dollars. Were Dr. Pierce’s Work not pub
lished by the author, printed and bound
with his own machinery, and were it sold
through agents, as other like works are, the
price of it would have to be not less than
fo u r d o lla rs. For when the publisher
pays the author a fair price for his produc
tion, then adds a profit to his investment
large enough to satisfy himself and compen
sate him, not only for his labor, but also for
the risk of pecuniary loss which he assumes
in taking the chances of the enterprise prov
ing a success, and when the State, County,
and canvassing agent lias each received his
profit, they have added the expense o f a
book, that originally cost about $1.25, so
much that the people have to pay not less
than §4.00 for it. The People’s Medical Ad
viser, on the contrary, is placed within the
pecuniary reach of al. classes by the author,
who adopts the plan of the Grangers, dis
pensing with middle men and giving the
benefit of their profits to the people, offering
his book at a price little above actual cost
of publication
'Il'at those desiring the
book may run no risk o f losing their money
in sending it through the moils, the author
advertises that money addressed to him at
Buffalo, N. Y., aud inclosed iu re g iste re d
letters, may be at his risk of loss. The au
thor’s large correspondence with the people
upon medical matters, which wo are crediti-
bly informed, frequently exceeds three hun
dred letters a day, and requires several train
ed and skillful medical assistants and short
hand reporters to enable him to entertain
and answer them, as well as his large daily
dealings with disease at the World’s Dispen
sary, appear to have peculiarly fitted him
for writing the Work, by rendering him very
iamihar with the every day medical needs of
the people. He endeavors in this Work to
answer all the numerous questions relating
to health and disease that have beenaddresi

land, and hence it contains important in
