The every varying , colors of the ' hills

future of The Dalles and its tributaries

not have the road from The Dalles to Ce

A SONG OF SPRING.
"Sing a song of Spring!" cried the merry March
wind loud, ' : -
An it swept o'er hill and valley from the dark
breast of the cloud ; v
But the wild-flowers and the.violets were still too
sound asleep '
Under the snow's warm blunket, close-folded,
soft and deep.
"Sing a song of Spring!" cried the pleasant April
rain.
With a thousand sparkling touches upon the
window-pane.
Then the flowers that waited in the ground woke
dreamily and stirred;
From root to root, from seed to seed, crept Jawtft
the hopeful word.
"Sing a song of Spring!" cried the sunshine of
the May;
And into bloom the whole world burst in one
delicious day !
The patient apple-trees blushed bright in clouds
of rosy red.
And the dear birds sang with rapture in the blue
sky overhead.
And not a single flower small that April's rain
drops woke,
And not a single little bird that into music broke,
Rut did rejoice to live and grow and strive to do
its best,
Faithful and dutiful and brave through every
trial's test.
1 wondeT it we children all are ready as the
flowers
To do what God appoints for us through all his
days and hours ;
To praise him in our duties done, with cheerful
joy, because
The smallest of those duties belongs to his great
laws.
O Violets, who never fret, nor say, "I won't!"
. "I will!"
Who only live to do your best his wishes to
fulfill,
Teaeh us your sweet obedience, and we may grow
I to be
! Happy, like you, and patient us the steadfast
I apple-tree!

In San Francisco on Sunday evening,
Dr Geo. H. Moore addressed a large
audience on the subject of temperance.
He gave statistics which, were as over
whelming as true and very interesting.
Mr. Tallan supplemented bis. remarks,
calling attention that in a district of six
blocks square, there were five churches,
three schools and 111 saloons'. . In walk
ing from his home to the church, a dis
tance of three blocks, he was obliged to
pass twenty-one drinking houses. It is
wonderfui that he is eloquent on the
subject of temperance when he sees
what a strife the church . must make to
get any headway against the monster
in our, midst. - Every one should join
the army and fight with boldness.
Saloons in Portland Oregon. '
In this ' city, according to the latest
statistics, there are three hundred and
twelve licensed saloons, also fifty hotels
most of which have "bar attachments,'.'
all of these are licensed to sell liquors in
less quantities than one quart. Of
wholesale liquor houses, there are
twenty -four. . It is probable within
bounds to say that the average yearly
sales in the saloons will amount to $7,000
per year some of them are known to
exceed $100,000 per annum. ' Say that
one-half of the hotels dispense' liquors ;
that would '. give three hundred and
thirty-seven places where the vile stuff
is Bold at retail, thus making $2,359,000
so spent. The average sales of the whole
sale houses '.will amount, jio doubt,': to
$100,000 eachr-$2300,000 f more. Th en
add to this the "family liquors", sold by
numerous grocery .stores, easily amount
ing to -from $500,000 ta$700,000, together
with the sums derived from' sales at res
turants, drug stores, breweries, .etc.", and
it is believed that the enormous .sum ,of
$8,000,000 per annum' would be reached
.for that which is of no earthly use to any
one for that wbiph. degrades evpry'dne
connected with' it, both buyer and seller,
and is rapidly carrying the f ower of our
people to that state w.herein they will be
without God, and without hope in - the
.world, -.i Now, I am not a pessimist, by
any manner of means ; God reigns, and
is-certain to- win the -world to ..himself
ultimately ; but in -view of the prodi
gious efforts the devil is putting, forth,
and j the lukewarmness , on the part . of
professing Christians, It is very .evident
to even an ordinary observer that we
are not any where near -the millenium.
In talking. , over this matter with. a well
known business man the other day ', lone
who has opportunity for being well post
ed, he. declared that it was his firm con
viction that fully eighty per cent, of all
the business, .men in this city, , were
drinking men to a greater or less degree.
Another gentleman, once a prominent
educator, now .in the real estate business,
said to me, in reference to those who
frequented a "gin palace" recently es
tablished without stint of money, near
his office, that he was surprised beyond
measure to see those who visited .this
particular regort from one to ten times a
dayformer pupils sons of Christian
parents, even . professing Christians
themselves many ,of them, went, regular
ly to this Vgllded door of "damnation,"
because it was "eminently respectable!"

Inspecting; the Koad.
The board of railroad commissioners
left Portland Monday morning for an
inspecting tour of the Union Pacific and
its branch lines in Oregon. The board
intended to have started last week, but
were delayed by the presidential party.
The managers could not accommodate
the inspection until the party was over
this line. General Manager McNeil ac
companied the commission. The entire
month will be spent on this road, and
every bridge will be examined. ,.-

A rumor in Pendleton has it that a
railroad is projected from the Fossil coal
mines to Arlington to connect with the
main line and the Heppner branch of
the Union Pacific, aud also from Hepp
ner to the Butter Creek coal mines,
thence to Camas prairie and to the
Greenhorn mining- section. Whether
there is anything '.'in it," remains for
the future to prove. East Oregonian.
Mr. Buckley of the firm of Kerr &
Buckley, of Grass Valley, made this office
a very pleasant call to-day : The firm ,is
one of the largest sheep owners in this
region, their lamb increase, after suffer
ing a heavy loss by the cool weather dur
ing the lambing season was 3500.; In
footing up losses in old sheep for the last
twelve months they found that it '.only
amounted to 4 per cent which is very re
markable for that branch , of industry.
In their wool jClip ; they find . that the
fleece is much greater and of better sta
ple than formerly. As their flock' now
stands, there probably is not a superior
band -of blooded .sheep in all Eastern
Oregon. "

ing point of survey commences a't the D.

The Columbia river , is the natural
channel of the commerce of the great re
gion drained by it. ; Even '.railroads are
beholden to the river for the avenues- it
has opened for them through the moun
tains. Cheaper rates for much of the
freight of the country can be had by the
river than by any line of railway, now or
hereafter, The country should avail it
self of this advantage, and the time - has
come for such expectations of the future.

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy,' was the druggist's answer.
'I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Wattexs-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you?. inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. -., Of course, it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold.' The teamster'' already' knew
the value of the Remedy, having" used it
himselt, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving , it even to . a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
