anew, Uian to witness anything rM
wll-advlsed and far more hurtful.
The case i very plain to all the peo
pie now, and there it nothing to it of a
threatening nature. It la simply a con
ditlon of affairs in New York, precipl
tated lv the ue of extraordinary rolu
unmet of money in the handling of the
country' crops that prc-nta the bank
there front immediately meeting the
demands of their western creditors
among whom figure, very conspicuously,
the banks of Portland.
It 1 much easier, and better, to put
up with the momentary inconveniences
incident to this unusual course (adopted
to meet as unusual a juncture) than to
get unduly timid, and insist upon foolish
and ruinous practices that might invite
real disaster.

THE SPECIOUS BOOSTER.
In these piping times the best of the
"American magazines are frequently
made to stand for Tery reckless work
on the part of their really accredited
writers and are, to the extent of the
imposition, injured and discredited in
given localities. A case in point is that
, of the popular, and usually trustworthy,
"Success of Kew York, whose recent
article entitled "Our Own Xorthwest
(written by one Chauncey Thomas), was
as bald a piece of specious boosting as
has floated across the Columbia Valley
horizon in many a day.
It appeared in the October issue of
that magazine; and the character of the
work stamps its author, at once, as a
man perfectly able to discriminate be
tween straight and crooked writing, and
leaves him with n excuse for the raw
blunder of turning a really meritorious
literary article upon a general and in
teresting topicjgnto a palpably inspired
advertisement for particular section
of the country he was sent out to
describe.
Couched beneath the candid predicate
that be intended to scrupulously avoid
the very wrong be committed, Mr.
Thomas proceeds, most cleverly, to her
ald the vital and unescapable import
ance of the Columbia Canon, as the only
water-grade level railway haul from the
Rockies to the Pacific; and after going
into specific and curiously apt detail to
bolster the admirable deduction, abrupt
ly and illogically abandons his thesis,
and swings his glib pen into the heat
and heart of as plain a case of delib
erate "advertising" as is ever seen be
tween magazine covers.
The sum of his sin does not lie in
the fact that he "advertised" Puget
Sound, Seattle and Tacoma, as the sea
terminal of this magnificent route for
the traffic of the world across this con
tinent; but that he primarily damned,
and later ignored, the Columbia' own
sea-gate for that commerce. He saintly
praised the city of Portland, in order
to mitigate the stinging insult of com
plete repudiation accorded her, and
barely breathed the name of this port
throughout his article; for all of which
he might be forgiven, had he not com
mitted the miserable laches of describ
ing, in glowing, compelling, grateful
periods, the superb, down-grade line
,"ttn the mountains to the sea, only to
i-jdon that route within CO mi!es of
that ea, deflect it northward OVER
ANOTHER RANGE OF MOUNTAINS.
TO A HARBOR 187 MILES FROM THE
SEA, without a word of accounting for
that three-score miles and the possi
bilities of the simpler, Btraigbter,
quicker, safer route and harbor hei at
the very mouth of the Columbia.
The whole story is a glaring exhibi
tion of pre-oondeved, if not pre-concerted,
elaborate, high-grade advertining. for
which Mr. Thomas' principals will do
all the reckoning in the end.

all the modern uses of corn and coal.

The Killers.
It happened that once a man ran
oast Barrett armed with an ax. He
was in pursuit of another who was
running from him at run speed.
"Stop him: Stop him!" he cried.
Plato's muster did not move.
"What!" cried the man with the ax.
"ConWat thou not have barred his
waj? He Is an assassin !"
"An assassin? What meanest.! thou?"
Tlay not the idiot! An assassin s
a man who kills."
"A butcher, then?"
"0i fool! A man who kills another
man!"
"To be sure! A soldier!"
"Dolt! A man who kills another

"Thou ass! A man who kills an

It was one of these men who sailed

to his brother:
"Be sure to feed parrot"
And the brother cabled back:
"Have fed him, but he's hungry

THE "HOLIDAY" SEASON.
It was credibly reported in this city
yesterday by parties just returned from
Portland, that Governor Chamlwrlain
intends to extend the present period of
"legal holidays" all tlurough the coming
. week if it 'shall be necessary for the
financial ease and safety of the state;
but that he will proclaim the prescript
tion from day to day so as to be able
to check up at the moment the expedient
is no longer needed.
In view of te flovernor's diligent
search, the other day, for some legal
excuse for revoking his original declara
tion in this behalf, we were convinced
that he was not sure of his predicate,
and scarcely likely to be induced to re
peat the act; but, the assurance now
comes that it is actually essential, as a
means of gaining time for the Portland
banks, which simply must have relief
from their immense credits in the New
York banks, to go on with their regular

LY BY FORCING THE KIDNEYS TO
FILTER THE URIC ACID.
To make up enough of the "Dande
lion treatment," which i claimed to be
relieving nearly every sufferer who uses
it for backache, kidney complaiut, sore
wvk bladder and rheumatism; get from
any good prescription pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon and three
ounces Compouud Syrup of Sarsnparilla.
Shake well in a bottle and take in tea
spoouful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime.
Those who have tried It claim that it
acts gently but thoroughly on the kid
neys, relieving backache and bladder
trouble and urinary ditlkulties almost
instantly, any cases of rheumatism are
known to have been relieved within a
few days, the pain and swelling dimin
ishing with eiu'h dose.
A well-known local druggist, who is
in a position to know, asserts that this
prescription, wherever It becomes
known, always ruins the sale of the
numerous patent medicine rheumatism
cures, kidney cures, etc. It is a recipe
which the majority of patent medicine
manufacturers, and even certain physi
cians dislike to see published. Few case,
indeed, which will fail to fully yield to
its peculiarly soothing and healing in-ttueiK-e.
Being composed of common
every-day ingredients, which can be
had from any druggist, it makes up a
good, honest and harmless remedy and
at nomiual cost.
