lrig elaborate, preparations far having

""When ar. you coin to get a chem

Chemist T What about a chemist T
.We can't have any chemist Governor
don't think we need one," ' waa th.
answer In short, jerky sentence.
On being-asked why th. Governor la
against having ay chemist in the offlce of
th. Btat. Food and Dairy ominissloner.
Mr. Bailey replied:
"Well th. Governor vetoed th. Pur.
Food Bill because he says that th. ex

"Tes, I seem to be up against It"

a test of some milk which waa aent
from Southern Oregon. Owing to Its
long journey it became sour. This
makes it all th. harder to test After
vain efforts to pour some Into a test

people not having sense enough to put

"Have you got much work on hand.

This question aroused the Dairy Com

the trouble; and will cure you as It has
hundreds of other.
Don't wan until you are a helpless in
valid, for a aeemingly simple case of
hemorrhoida or pile may, if neglected,
rapidly lead to worse. The , unnatural
formations become tumorous and perma-
nent and the Inflammation grows until
abscesses form; the disease burrows Into
the tissues, forming tubular, growths,
which discharge pus; cancerous condi
tions, and general gangrenous degen
eration appear.
What la needed at the start, or at any
stage, is something to soothe this in
flammation, reduce the swelling and dis
tension, and at the same time restores
ths diseased parts to normal' condition.
These three thlnge are accomplished per
fectly by the Pyramid Pile Cure. it
checks air progress of the disease, and
rapidly returns the affected parts to
health, 'besides relieving at once the
pain and fearful Irritation.
"I began using pyramid Pile Cure, and

That Portland wants the establish
ment of a line of steamers between this
city and Southwestern Alaska is evi
denced by the large number of promi
nent merchants who are in favor of the
project, t
Most of those seen seem to think that
the line will not be a financial success
from the date of the running of Its
Initial steamer, but that later on when
the people of the Northern cities know
for a certainty that the line will not be
taken off, then it will be a paying in
vestment
Albert L. Estes of Turner & Co.,
commission merchants, has the follow
ing to say on the establishment of a
steamship line:
"Of course I am In favor of establish
ing a line of steamers between this city
and Alaska. Everybody in the city who
has the good of the city at heart should
be of the same mind. But ' if-Portland
is going to do anything in this matter
It must be done at once.
entitled to Alaska Trade.
"I think that we are entitled to the
greater part of the trade of Alaska be
cause Portland was the first city on this
coast that took any part in the early
development of that country. Formerly
we had a regular line of steamers run
ning to the North in fact it was the
only line then established ana the mer
chants of this city received all the trade
of that section.
"The fact that we lost this trade Is
not due to the people of the North be
coming dlssatlsfled with our business
methods, but to the fact that an oppo
sition steamship line was established
from one of the Sound ports and Port
land merchants gave everything up
without even as much as a . struggle,
"I have no doubt that if the line was
established we could get all the bust
ness that we needed to make it pay. As
it is, we are doing more business with
Alaska and other Northern points now
than was ever done In the history of
the city.
Portland Can Hold Trade.
"If we ever get the trade started
coming In this' direction I have no doubt
that, we can keep It We have every
thing to offer to keep the trade here if
it was once started prices and aupply
are both to be had here that will dis
count anything that the ports on the
Sound can offer.
"Two-thirds of the food stuffs going
into Alaska are gathered from this vi
cinity and I can see no reason why
Portland firms should not do the sup
plying. The Chamber of Commerce or
one of the other trade organisations
should take up the matter at once and a
meeting of the merchants of the city
called as soon ' as practicable. If the
business men of Portland once get
their heads together I have no doubt
that the steamship, line will be an as
sured success.
"There is no good reason why the
line , wouldn't pay afterlt is once-established.
Of course I don't mean to say
that the line would pay from the date
of Its first sailing, but it certainly
would beT an excellent business invest
ment afterwards. With the line firmly
established, at least four-fifths of the
Alaska trade will come to this city."

Dawson Trades Council Criticises
Transportation Companies'
False Promises.
The Building Trades Council of this
city is in reoeipt of the following inter
esting communication from the Trades
and Labor Council at Dawson, Tukon
Also, there are doubtless other employ-
ers here who hope by overstocking the
market to bring down the ratea now paid
labor. In this connection the council
desires to state that there is more labor
at present in the country than there la a
demand for.
Wages Vo BUgh.
As to .the ratea now paid. It la our
duty to point out that while they may
seem high to the working man on the
coast they are no better than, perhaps
not so good, the current labor wagea of
his own town. He haa to reckon the
time lost the cost of living (beef at 60
centa per pound), the cost of wood for
mere warmth eight months of the year,
the cost of special clothing and other
absolute necessities.
To meet the blandishments of the
transportation agent this council now
declares that there are more laboring
men here now than there will be work
for during the coming season, ana wai
the Klondike Mines Railway, or any
other large corporation, would have no
difficulty in finding all the men they
could possibly employ right here in our
midst within 48 hours, and at merely
living wagea.

cupled many responsible positions in his

grounds to be planted ' with roses be
set apart and that the sa.me be thor
oughly enriched with suitable fertilis
ers, so that these places will be in the
proper condition Jfor ho planting of
roses In October, 1903.. As the Exposi
tion grounds are a virgin soil and com
posed of a very, heavy., clay, we especi
ally recommend that the' place for the
growing of roses be underlaid with
suitable drainage tiles for the purpose
of removing quickly and at any and all
times excesaive moisture. ' By proper
drainage and enriching. of the soil roses
will grow with great rapidity, especi
ally if a competent rosarian is put . in
charge with full power to act and' with
the proper number of assistants.
"From information tnai we have re
ceived, we believe that the 18,000 low
budded roses of large size, or what are
called two-year-old bushes, can.be pro
cured at a price not to exceeed 10 cents
apiece, arid the standard or tree roses
at a price not to exceed 26 cents. We
believe that at the close of the Exposi
tion, in the fall of 1905 these" rose
buehee can be sold to large lo6al deal
ers at a price not less than will be paid
ror mem at mis time.
The report concludes with a; recom

budded roses as possible be planted In

Territory:
The Dawson Trades and Labor Council
last season sent out a notification warn
ing laboring men from giving credence to
transportation agents who were then of
fering Inducements to laborers to come
to -work on - the -construction of the
Klondike Mines Railway.. The council
had no idea that such inducements were
being held out until some of the men led
astray by these representations arrived,
in the territory,1 , The council immediate
ly sent out a circular -letter to all labor
organizations on tne i"acinc Coast warn
ing them in the matter.
There were at the time in this citv. i
and not engaged, Ave times the number
of . men the railway could have found '
work for in its construction. The un
scrupulous transportation agents largely
added to the hundreds of unemployed
who nave naa to bear as best they can

We would say now that the Klondike

no construction work whatever last fall.

lined up to wait until the wreck was

A car would oome sliding down the
