Press Dispatches.
FOB AN OPEN KIYKK.
THE
GOVERNOR AND THE
WAGON ROADS.
The press of the state ia very much
divided on thequestion of the governor's
veto of the wagon road bills. We notice
that the bed rock democratic papers gen
erally stand in with the governor, but
not always, und geographical location
has more to do with opinions on this
question than political partisanship. In
the old valley counties, the native home
. of the Silurian, where roads are easily
built, and where the people have had,
for many years, all the roads they want,
they all pat the governor on the back
.nt it is verv tntlerent in the newer
regions, as for example the sparsely set
tled counties of Eastern Oregon, where
roads from many important points are
little better than trails, and the people
wholly unable to improve them. Here,
in tms county we nuked a small appro
priation to build a road overTygh moun
tain. The road has long been one of the
most important ones in Eastern Oregon
it is the direct way from The Dalles to
the AVarm Spring reservation. It is also
the old direct route from Walla Walla or
The Dalles to Barlow's Gate,-and the
Barlow route over the mountains.
United States mail passes over it
six days in the week. The present mule
trail, for it not a road has an acclivity,
in several places, of nearlv four feet to
the rod. It is an outrage on civilization
It is a barbarity, a murderer of horse
flesh. Yet the people living in its
neighborhood can scarcely be said to be
able to build a new road without outside
help, and when the legislature twice
made provision for building it the gov
ernor interposed each time with his
veto.
An appropriation was asked for
another road, partly in this county and
"partly in Gilliam. It is over a long
siretcn ot country between two import
ant points, where immense freights of
wool and hides and supplies require to
be transported. The country between
its two termini is not settled and what is
more it never will be settled. It is a
rough, Droken sheep range, abounding
- in oeep ravines and precipitous moun
tains. The people need the road. They
cannot possibly build it themselves, and
the governor by his veto says : "Then
; you must do without it."
But this ia not the worst of it. When
this state was a Imitted into the Union
the general government made a dona
tion to the new state of ?500,000 for
"roads" and other internal improve
ments. Years ago the legislature granted
an appropriation of 200,000 out of this
fund for building the locks at n
' City. The Silurians of the valley have
lattened on the fruiteX this donation.
There is not an acre of land in the Wil
lamette valley, from the head of naviga
tion on the river to its mouth, that has
aiot enhanced in value bv reason of this
appropriation. There is not a farmer in
-the valley who is not bettered by its
having been made, yet when we, over
Jiere m Eastern Oregon, who have never
benefited a picayune by this outlay,
asked a little from the same fund, for
improvements, relatively as important
to us as the opening of the locks at Ore
Son City was to them, the members
from the old, rich valley counties by
their vote, and the governor by his veto
say, "You cannot have any of it."
Two years ago Governor Pennoyer al
lowed a lot of wagon road bills to be
come a law. Hit was right for him to
do so then it would have been equally so
now- As it is he has only succeeded in
riveting a hopeless inconvenience on
many sections of the country, and contri
buted to the retardment of the progress
of the state.
To allow the wagon road bills to be-
wiue a law, would be "looting" the
treasury, the governor says, but it was
the correct thing for this same governor
to approve a bill for an appropriation of
over $90,000 for improving the capitol
building, the greatest portion of which
is to be spent in a dome, which is noth
else than a useless and expensive orna
ment. We wish his excellency no ill
but if by any change of fortune he should
lose his job as governor and be reduced
to the rank of a farmer or stage driver it
would give us peculiar satisfaction to see
him compelled to drive a Bix mule team
with a load of -wool, from Mitchell to
Antelope, or a span of balky horses,
hitched to a loaded wagon, up the Tyeh
hill.

'Of course I showed him Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and he did not ask to
see any other. I have never vet sold a
medicine that would loosen and relieve
a severs cold so quickly as that does. I
nave sold lour dozen ot it within the
last sixty days, and do not know of a
single case where it failed to give the
most perfect satisfaction." 50 cent bot

' Is Disease a Punishment.
The following advertisemeut,piiblished
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin : .'"
"Do you wish to know , the quickest
way to cure a severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold "has become
settled iir the system. This can alwavs be
done if you choose to, as nature in" her
kindness to man gives timely warning
ouu (iiuiu; tcjio vou in .. nature s way,
that as'a punishment for some indiscre
tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud, cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration andl
the sneezing by a profuse watery dis
charge from the nose. .In severe" cases
there ia a thin w hite coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in double doses every hour. That will
greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will effectually count
eract it, and cure what would have been
a severe cold within one or two days
time. Try it and tie convinced." 50

A tobacco dealer says: There has been
a great deal said about the harmfulness
of cigarettes, and certainly they are in
jurious . to young - boys or to men if
smoked in excess; bat most of those who
attack the cigarette habit have very lit
tle idea of what they are talking about.
It should be remembered that the great
est smokers in the world the Spaniards,
the Cubans, Spanish-Americans and the
Russians use cigarettes far more freely
than cigars, and none of these nations
can be called unhealthy. People talk
about the injuriousness of the paper, but
any physician will tell you that it has no
effect worth mentioning.
If you take a piece of rice paper and
light it scarcely any residuum will re
main, and a man might smoke that pa
per indefinitely without experiencing the
smallest bad result. What makes cigar
ette smoking injurious is the fact that
the smoke is not retained in the month
and throat, bat is taken into the longs.
It is because the cigar smoker does not
understand this that he denounces cig
arette smoking as insipid. So it ia if the
cigarette is smoked like a cigar; but
when the smoke is swallowed the effect
ia far more delicate than can be obtained
from any cigar, and you will find that a
confirmed cigarette smoker seldom en
joys either a cigar or a pipe. St. Lonia

One Good Item In the McKinley Bill.
New York Sun.
Hurrah ! Here is something about
the McKinley bill which everyone will
say is'good,-- There are now beginning
to appear in the cutlery stores many
knives and other articles on each of
which is stamped the word "German v "
The McKinley bill requires this. In the
custom house and on sea on their way
back to Germany are hundred of thous
ands oi ot dollars worth of such goods
which are not stamped "Germany."' A
large dealer in cutlery, in discussing this
effect of the bill, said yesterday that the
market had been flooded with knives
and cutlery of all sorts 8 tamped "Provi
dence Cutlery company," or "New Bed
ford Cutlery company," but nevertheless
of German make, and of such inferior
material that men who bought them
vowed they would never again buy an
American knife or tool. Our American
cutting tools are the best in the world,
and hereafter they will not suffer from
unfair competition.
Why People Bite Their Lips.
If you surprise the father of a family
stretched oat at fall length and trying
till he is red in the face to raise his legs
without lifting his body, yon may know
he is endeavoring to work off his super
abundance of avoirdupois, which inter
feres seriously with his catting a grace
ful figure in the waltz, which his better
half insists on dancing every chance she
gets. If yon consult Mr. Russell on
what changes will make you better look
ing, you will find him very blunt. He
may tell you you do not wash your face
clean, and when you ask how he knows
he will tell yon if yon did your skin
would not be disfigured with those black
pimples, or he may tell yon, as he told a
woman who recently appealed to him
for advice, that she did not eat enough,
which fact he had reached because he
had observed how much she chewed her
hps.
So yon see you need not be on your
good behavior when you pass under his
eagle eye. But did yoa ever sit in the
' ferry boat or car and watch the women,
who make the most hideous, wry faces
in their attempts to get some nourish
ment or crumb of comfort from their
lips? Not only the women but the men
also have this fiendish habit. Brooklyn

A Kara New Zealand Bird
' Dr. Fristedt has brought a most inter
esting and valuable collection of birds.
etc., from Australia, where he had many
an adventurous outing, and from where
he proceeded to New Zealand. . There he
succeeded in obtaining a specimen of the
quaint and almost extinct kibi bird.
This bird is somewhat like an' ostrich,
duv oniy toe size or a crow, it has no
wings at all, and is covered with fur
like short striped feathers: ' Another pe
culiarity about the kibi is the fact that
its egg is larger than one-third of its
body. " -j .'-
" He also succeeded in bringing home
some Maori skulls, which are difficult to
obtain , on account of . the manner in
which the natives bury their , dead.
When the bodies have been so long in
the ground that all the flash has fallen
from the skeleton they Unearth them
and carry them into the interior of the
forests, where they are deposited in nat
ural caves, ' which are very difficult to
find. The attempt to obtain these skulls
is attended with the greatest danger as
any. one discovered with one is certain of
being instantly killed. Qalignani's Mes
