JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says : "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
bo. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
in B rights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
ever tried. " : J. B. Neson,

Thb Dalles, Oct. 6. This will be the
third and .' last day of ' the Oregon
Press Association's fifth annual conven
tion. The afternoon . yesterday was
spent in visiting Celilo falls, and in con
sequence'of a delayed train the excursion
did not return to The Dalles until 6:30
p. m. This put a darn person any further
proceedings. The Dalles City Brass
Band headed the procession for the
Court house at 7 :30 p. m. A very large
and intelligent audience had congregated
and after music by the band, President
Noltner called the meeting to- order,
when Hon. Robt..Mays, mayor of The
Dalles, welcomed the association in the
following well chosen words : '
Gentlemen of lite Oregon Pre Asnocia
Hon:
It is with pleasure that' we greet you
this evening. It is always pleasant to
meet gentlemen of intelligence and
prominence; and especially so when
they hail from the many different local
ities of the state In Which we all feel so
much interest. But you, gentlemen,
the scribes of the different cities and
towns of our state, we take the greatest
pleasure in meeting and welcoming to
our city. Our people very highly in
deed appreciate this opportunity of
meeting eo many of the sages of this
commonwealth, -upon whom we depend
so mucft for the future welfare and
prosperity, not only mt Oregon our first
love but of the great Pacific Northwest
in general.
Your services in the past, for which
we cannot be too grateful, are a part of
the history of this country. When I
reached this place in September, 1852,
after a six-months journey across the
plains, and for several years afterwards,
almost all the territory west of the
Rocky mountains and north of Califor
nia, was included in what was then
Oregon Territory. Think of being in
Oregon upon reaching the west slope of
the Rockies ! ' Out of this territory
many grand states have since been
carved, leaving still our Oregon grander
than all. :
The, whole population of Oregon Ter
ritory in 1852, including the large
immigration of that year, was less
than 15,000 people, and they were scat
tered from Puget sound on the north to
Jacksonville on the south. Portland
was then a village of about 300 people.
Oregon City was the capital of the ter
ritory. Salem was ' a mere embryo
village, while Albany and Corvallis,
the latter then called Marysville,
were very small trading stations, and
Eugene city was yet unthought of. All
this great country east of - the Cascade
mountains, and on to the Missouri river
was without a score of permanent white
settlers. It is very pleasant indeed to
those of us who have witnessed the
great changes ariS the rapid advance
ment that has been made in this country
to think that while pluck and persever
ance have been important lac tors in
bringing about these changes, manual
labor has been greatly guided and as
sisted by printers' ink".
-With the meager population of 40
years ago, we found but the weekly
Oregonian at Portland, edited by T. J.
Dryer, and the Oregon Statesman at
Salem by Asahel Bash. . These were
each little weekly issues, but full of.
mat pluck , and energy which bespoke
their long lives -of great usefulness.
The nearest of these papers would fre
quently not reach this place until many
weeks after its publication.- The Oregon
Spectator, published at Oregon City, was
the pioneer paper, but had ceased pub
lication shortly before. .As population
increased and towns sprang into exist
ence, the establishment of other good
newspapers followed, till now I have no
knowledge of how many hundreds there
are in what was then Oregon Territory.
We feel proud today ot onr facilities for
imparting information. The press is en
titled to much more credit than it gets,
for the prosperity that we are- so proud
of. The editor is like the beacon light
on the outer wall; he is ever peering
into things unknown and soundinz the
notes of warning and good -cheer as he.
teaas tne mignty tnrong.
Gentlemen of the association, we are
pleased to 'see you meet in brotherly
conference ; we know Jhat you will pro
fit by such meeting, and that you will be
better able to perform your duties as
instructors. You are not only the in
structors of the people, but largely the
regulators of the communities jn which
yoa live. Your responsibility is. very con
siderable and your duties are arduous.
Be careful that whatever you may ad
vocate or encourage shall tend to elevate
tne people both morally and intellect'
ually. Of course there are many vexed
questions to be discussed,' . and after tall
la said and dODe differences of opinion
will still exist, but in such dis
cussions be -.fair with - your oppo
nent, and honest with yourself. . No
public instructor can afford to stoop be
low the dignity of a gentleman and
reasonably expect to be sustained in his
course.
Our committee thought the cascades
of the Columbia -that great barrier to
the progress of the Inland Empire an
exceedingly fit place toneet you. We
hope your visit there may have given
you additional information, and further
cause to aid us ' in - securing an open
river. ;
To each and all of you, I now,' in be
half of our citizens, extend the freedom
of our city. I regret that the late' fire
which swept away over half the town,
makes us unable to entertain you as we
would wish ; but we trust your meeting
may be none the less pleasant and bene
ficial, and that when you have gene, it
may be to"ever retain pleasant recollec
tions of our town and people.
Mayor Mays' address was followed'by
a response, from President Noltaer,
filled to the brim, with ' Bentiment ex
pressive of appreciation, and pledges on
the part of the association that united
action will be made to shake off the
fetters that bind the Inland Empire and
grind its energies to palpable dust under
the oppressive heel of a soulless corpor
ation. The speaker pictured a glorioSs
future for the great. Inland Empire when
the noble Columbia shall be an open
river. In response to the welcome of
mayor May's, Mr. Noltner said : . ; .
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: '-.-'.
On behalf of the members of the Ore
gon Press Association, permit me to
thank yon, andthrough you, the people
of The Dalles for their cordial, hearty
and hospitable reception. To those un
familiar with the people of our state,
thi 8 reception may be somewhat ' of a
surprise, but to those whe are acquainted
with their character and open hearted -ness
it is not astonishing. : It is' simply
natural for the people of Oregon to be
the most hospitable in the Union. That
the citizens of The Dalles know how to
capture the good, opinions of the
Oregon editor, ' was demonstrated
at the very threshold, and fair ladies
were brought into requisition and the
session inaugurated with a mostumptu
ous lunch which was set before them on
tables most handsomely decorated, and
the committee on reception had pre
viously arranged a most delightful ride
up. the Columbia on the beautiful
steamer-Regulator, and on our arrival
here, we found that everything for our
comfort and entertainment had been ar
ranged. -2
I am especially gratified that the Or
egon Press association selected your city
for it annual meeting at this time, and
I may be pardoned for nsing in reply, a
portion of what was intended to be in
corporated in my annual address to the
members of our association. But the
subject is one of interest to you and the
great Inland ' Empire, therefore . I re
served this part of my address for this
occasion. . , '
" . : -
' Again thanking you; Mr. Mayor, on
behalf of the association, and hoping
that the people of this city may realize
their -just reward for their hospitality
and courtesy, and that.yo'ir fair city,
which has been able to maintain its
progress and advancement under many
adverse and discouraging circumstances,
may continue to prosper, and ever re
main one of Oregon's - brightest and
most prosperous cities.
Following the address of President
Noltner, Col. Pat Donan was introduced,
and in his happy manner convulsed the
audience for a full hour on the subject
of "Country Journalism." His conclud
ing words were a tribute to the possible
greatness of the empire west of the
Rocky mountains, and should be spread
upon the minutes and published with
the proceedings. ;- :.: ' . ' .
At the conclusion of Col. Donan's ad
dress, Col. J. B. Eddy, from the com
mittee on resolutions, offered a series of
resolutions expressing the thanks of the
association for the hospitable reception
at Cascade Locks and subsequent enter
tainment, which were adopted, unani
mously. He next offered a set of resolutions
concerning the Inland Empire, and an
open Columbia river.
On motion to adopt, Col. Eddy took
the floor, rnnd made the speech of the
evening. He nrged our fellow brothers
of the valley to read up on the subject.
and realize the work before ns as co
laborers for the good of the whole state.
And jading from the enthusiasm with
which his words were received, hey
will be productive of very much good
The convention then adjourned until

Conditions in all the Tributaries . of

San Francisco, Oct. 5.- tjnited States -Commissioner
Livingstone Stone ar
rived ill this city last evening from the
government hatchery on the McCloud
river in Shasta county. He arrived at '
the McCloud station from Washington -six
weeks ago, and since then he has :
Ween engaged in making a borough
examination of the fish interests in that
locality. "If the government," says he, .
"does not take some' action very soon, .
salmon will be a thing of the past in the
Sacramento river. When I was at Mc
Cloud river station fifteen years ago, we
used to get, 15 ,000,000 eggs out of the"
hatchery, while now it is hard to get
8,000,000. I fished up there during my '
recent stay, aftd caught Mery few salmon,
while years ago thousands were caught
in the nets. , In all the tributaries of the
Sacramento the conditions are the same,
and there is only one way to prevent the
waters of California being fished' out as
completely as the Hudson and other
rivers on the Atlantic side, and that is
to make the close season commence,
about August 1st of each year,' instead
of September 1st. '" '

A Eow loathe Board .
j Chicago, Oct. 5. The American board
of commissioners for the foreign missions
of the general Congregational mission
ary body reassembled this morning'
This board is self-constituting and 'self
perpetuating." . At present it is composed
of two elements liberal and conserva
tive; these have m aft y points of differ
ence. . One of these differences having
to do with the body itself came fip this
morning. The liberals believe that the
churches which furnish - all the funds
should have a representation. ' This
matter came up in a paper by Dr. E K.
Alden, defending the conservative pol
icy. It was moved the paper be referred
to a special committee to report next
year. In behalf of the liberals a substi
tute was proposed to refer it to the bus
iness committee with instructions to re
port at this session. . The conservatives
carried the day, defeating the substitute
by a vote of twenty-nine to forty-two.
The conservatives finally, consented to
refer to a committee to report as soon as
possible. The conservatives have the
appointment of the committee. - . .
