sured of good business The improve

why it should not continue. ' California
green vegetables are out of the market.
ow"potatoes ' are in good supply and

Oregon radishes lettuce," rhubarb.' and

Old potatoes are again scarce, the' farm
ers holding back, evidently for seeding:
In the fruit line, the same activity is
noted.
Capt. John W. Lewis received today
from Col.-W. E. McArthur of Washing
ton City, a pafr "of 'oyster", shells that
measure full seven inches' in ' length;
This is no fish story The shells can be
seen in. the" Chronicle show window.
In a note accompanying the shells Col.
McArthur says : ''The scripture saith:
'Moses was an Austere man''; but there
was a merry twinkle in the eyes of black
Moses, who presides" at "Harvey's raw
oyster counter, .when; : I, selected that
superb specimen for his -Sexton's mani
pulation. But I believe ,1 long since
-wrote you the story and now I repeat as
aforesaid, when I swallowed that , treas
ure of an oyster. 'Good bi-valve.' "
The"5 WiHoWa1- ChjeTtiiiiil; referring to
the nomination "of Mr . Polk ,- jlay.8J.or
representative on the republican ticket,
says : "It was given to Mr. Mays with
out any effort on his part, and the con
vention could not have made' a better
selection for - that important position.
Mr. Mays is thoroueb.lv identified with
our county interests, is one of our heav
iest tax-payers, is conservative in bis
views, and correct in his conclusions. If
he is elected, his vote on all proposed
legislation will be gnided by that regard
for right and justice which has always
characterized his actions in private life.
The vote for Mr. Mays in " the localities
where he is best known will be alike
complimentary to his worth as a man,
and to the confidence in which his abil
ity is held by the people." "-
I. W. Flanders, traveler for the well-
known proprietory medicine firm of J."
C. Ayer & Co., of LowelUMass.. was in
the city for the past two days and left
last night for points east. Mr. Flanders
is a very pleasant gentleman and an ex
cellent conversationalist. He has been
in the employ of the firm for over ten
years,. on the wingTall the time.His
territory covers the. whole northwest
and comprises twelve states' and ter
ritories. Speaking of the immense busi
ness done by his firm-. be informed ' a
Chronicle representative that a million
a year is spent in advertising their busi-
s. . They will .publish r this year
20,000,000 copies of Ayer's almanacs in
no less than thirty different languages.
me press on wnicn tne almanacs are
printed tomes out 10,000 copies an hour,
or 80,000 copies in : a ' working , day of
eight hours. The printing of the
almanacs - for 1893 ': commenced two
months ago, and even at' this' "enormous
rate of speed will occupy nearly the en
tire remainder- ot the.- year. -. The. firm
sold last year about seventeen tons of
pills, or enough, as Mr. Flanders said,
"to physic the whole nation."' They do
business with upward of 40,000, merch
ants located in every nook and corner of
the American continent.' Their mail
receipts at headquarters, average from
400 to 800- letters a day. It is hardly
necessary to say there's millions in the
business. "-
OBSIETAkCES'
H the Columbia River
Yet Been V
-Is-
",'. eoveredf
This " being . the year of centennial
observances in .this: part ' of the conti
nent, leads us to remark : what might
have been the result, had Columbus dis
covered this side of the continent first?
It has been claimed that the Chinese
did discover this portion of the ' conti
nent, thousands of years ago, but no
great discovery, no great invention, no
great philosophy . or religion 'was ever
announced, to which the . Chinese
did . not -i promptly arise and de
clare that "they discovered the same
thing thousands of years ago. " Indeed
the, Chinese did so many things bo many
thousands of years'ago that, they got
thoroughly tired out in the early infancy
of time, 'and have done' nothing since,
and if it were a fact that they did dis
cover the Columbia thousands of years
ago, the period of their slowness, has- no
comparison except that of the United,
states officials put in charge of construct?
ing locks at the cascades of the Columbia.
However, -according to Hermann, we
now hope to celebrate the completion of
that work within two years. This will
lead up to other discoveries so important
that men can be found both in and out
of congress who will freely assert that
the Columbia river had not, in any com
prehensive 'sense,' been discovered May
11th, 1792, on the same principle that in
1506, when Columbus died,-America had
not been discovered. In 1592, one hun
dred years after the alleged discovery,
America was almost as uninhabited by
white men as is the store of a man who
does not believe in advertising. Cortez
had marched through Mexico. But he
and his .. men were bo" blind that , they
couldn't see anything but yellow'' gold,
and though they devastated Mexico they
never discovered it, and- never- found anything-
but gold which they - stole, and
thousands of so-called savages, more
civilized ' than themselves whom they
murdered. Pizarro marched through
Peru . much as a whirlwind would
march , through " a sheepfold. But
he was not a discoverer ; " he was
simply an accomplished murderer. One
hundred years later, in 1692. things were
not much better. The impression had
come to prevail that there was quite
strip of country over here, but nobody
knew much about it. There were strag
gling settlements along the Atlantic
coast, most of them built within sound
of the sea, but the great interior of the
country was unknown ;.- its tremendous
extent was not suspected, and, its inex
nausuDie j resources -. were not even
gueseea at. in l?yz, it, is unnecessary
to say that America was still undiscov
ered, for that date was thirty .years be
fore the incorporation of ' a- city. ! Of
course. America was not then discovered.
To. be sure George Washington ruled
over a group of young states, strewed
like a string of beaded' sea-shells along
the coast." " But ' George Washington,
though he was a good man, knew "but
very little about America. " So it is with
the lordly and majestic Columbia river
There arc a few vain people who ' fancy
that the Columbia has, at last, in 1892,
.been found. - But this is V gigantic de
lusion. There are a .few settled along
its boriere, to be Buret but " the. country
still consists mainly of intervals; ' It has
only a few centers of population with
.big spaces between.' Its entire popula-tionts-btrtSOO-
or $00, while it is capable
of easily holding and providing for mill
ions without crbwdingrTTerJ .much'in
deed,of this country has made no pro-'
gress smcerMay 11th, 1792. Its abund
ant resources are like those of a conti
nent surmised but not disclosed. " There
is an immense field still left for future
discoveries, for the area of possibilities
in this Pacific Northwest is limitless
When The Dalles is discovered, in about
two years from today, it will take a large
army of discoverers to exhaust the op
portunity of finding the dormant re
sources - which are' lying around loose
just waiting tor somebody to come along
and pick them np and go into business
