PNEUMONIA.
At no time in the history of the country
has pneumonia been so prevalent as during
the winter months of the last two years. In
times past a common cold was uot consider
ed nt til serious, but of late years the great
tendency of colds to result in pnemncuia
has made people apprehensive. The trouVe
is that oolds are not always properly treat
ed. No preparation containing opium, wild
cherry or chloroform should be used, as they
have a tendency to dry up a cold, whereas
it Bhoutd be loosened and the longs relieved.
It has been observed that when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used the cold never
results in pneumonia. . Tho . reason is that
this remedy stimulates the mucas htem-
irane which lines tho throat and lungs, to a
healthy action, cauuss free expectoration,
throwing off the poisonous matter, and
counteract any teadency toward pneumo
nia. For sale by T. Graham, druggist.

THE FOLLY OF FOOLISHNESS.
The Yaquina fence Post would dis
play some common sense and do the
Bay county division scheme a merci
ful fnvor by lapsing, into absolute si
lence instead of bellowing forth such
rhapsodical vaporings as last weeks
issue contained. The citizens of east
ern Benton are not a mass of sla re-
traders not the county officials a gang
ot rapacious freebooters as the fence
Post has a tendency to picture them.
The probabilities are that had tho
western county scheme stood alone
upon its merits, there would not have
been any considerable opposition to it
in eastern Benton. Circumstances
well understood here would support
this view of th case. It whs the com
plication Oh the south, with which tho
Bay county scheme shared sympathy
on the "you tickle me and I'll tickle
you basis, and which threatened to
rob Benton county of her valued ter
ritory, which really seemed to rouse
this people to take spirited action. It
was then a matter of self-preservation.
Public consideration of the Bay county
division had been in a," more perfunc
tory vein than hostile, until the Blainu
county scheme legan to flare up to
formidable proportions, and then east
ern Benton put in her protest. She
could not afford to be hewed down on
every side, and if it became necessary
to antagonize the whole business iu
order to check the one injustice, wly,
thus be the fiat. That's just about
the size of it, and there is uo use of
going wild about a reasonable propo
sition. IT LOOKS THAT WAY.
Under the heading "A Nottcer.ble
Fact" the Albany Democrat shoots
pretty straight at the mark as follows:
It is a fact that has been noticed sev
eral times, that whenever thero is a
good prospect of the Oregon Pacific do
ing something, the Oregonian particu
larly throws cold water on thft Yaquina
harbor. Just now the outlook is good
and - such au occurence is noticed.
The Oregonian says a civil engineer
has investigated the matter and-reports
tbat it would cost $3O,O0O,0OO, to
make a 25-foot channel at Hquina.
There is almost such a channel now,
and tho report is probably not true in
any respect. In ad probamuty it is
manufactured for the occasion, in view
of the present investigation taking
place. The" statement is a ridiculous
oue. It is undoubtedly truo that
Portland fights this improvement se
cretly in every mahur possible.
The Oregonian has something to
say about Capfc Van Alstine; but we
haven't any mora space for the tire
some subject. He is iu jail, and
claims his G. A. R. badga is insulted
because he is kept there. Jdc was
put in a dark cell for mean conduct
An effort is being made to get hiin
out, but it will be under the condi
tion that he loave town, when lie would
probably come to Aliany or go to Eu
gone. Portland is as able to stand
such a misfortune as we. Democrat.

the expediency of ringing that fire bell
