'ryS By courtesy of Linus Hubbard, our show window has a picture of the fastest modern steamer of the day, the Richard Peck, which beat the Puritan on Long Island Sound last Saturday. A river steamer, with sufficient draft of water, of this construction can be run with one-third the fuel, bandies better, carry more freight and would be far more comfortable and convenient for pas senger travel than any stern-wheel boat ever built on the Pacific coast.

THE EDITORS VISIT. WliHt our Fraternal Brothers Have to say About the Dalles Convention. Pacific Farmer. The . scenery along the Columbia was arrayed in its best "bib and tucker" for the special occa sion. The boat made one stop of fifteen minutes at Memaluse island. This bar ren rock and sand pile lying in the mid dle oi the Columbia has been made famous by the fact that it is an old bury ing grounds of the Indians, and also by the tomb of the late Victor Trevitt, an old time printer and eccentric character of an early day of Oregon. The tomb and monument of this man will perpet uate his name for long years after the great men of our present day are forgot- ten, situated as it is on that lonely rock, surrounded bv the mighty waters of the Columbia and guarded by the decaying k)0nes of hundreds of the natives who Were inhabitants of the land in his early day. From this island of bones to The Dalles was but a short run, and here the delegates were met by the band and es- corted to the Umatilla house where they were made to feel at home and were en tertained by Col. Sinnott's famous story of George Francis Train's trip across the Columbia river bv walking on the backs of salmon in an early day. Arlington Record. Much valuable work was accomplished during the session, notably among which was the thorough consideration of the temporary rtage question, resulting in the pass- ge of a unanimous resolution, pledging he earnest support of the journals of his state in favor of a temporary portage from Celilo to The Dalles, to be con structed by appropriation from the state by its next legislature. The members visited this point in a body and were readily convinced that the time is now and had Jong been ripe when, in justice to the people of the Inland Empire and the state in general, the matter should no longer be delayed.. Hillsboro Independent. At 6 o?clock p. m. the boat touched at The Dalles dock, where the visitors were met by a great company of citizens and escorted by a brass band to the Umatilla house, which is to be our home while we stay. The house is a large one, well managed and in every way comfortable. Notwith standing the sudden arrival of over a hundred guests they were each assigned rooms within a space of twenty minutes. The dining-room is a large one, capable of seating two hundred guests at a time, To us who have for a lifetime, say thirty years, lived in the Willamette' valley, this visit is a wonderful revelation. The Inland Empire has been written about, but to realize what it is, one must visit it, or read figures. It -is a wonderful region undeveloped. But of its capabil ities another chapter must be written.

LAUGHLIN, General Manager. THE DALLES, - OREGON Bill Nye on Wagon Roads. Our wagon roads throughout the coun try are generally a disgrace to civiliza tion, and before we undertake to supply Jeager underware and sealskin-covered Bibles with flexible backs to the African, it might be well to put a few dollars into the relief of galled and broken-down horses that have lost their health on our miserable highways. The country system as I recall it, was in my boyhood about as poor and ineffi cient as it could well be. Each township was divided up into road districts, and each road district was presided over by an overseer of highways, whose duty it is to collect so many day's work or so many dollars from each taxpayer in the district. Of course, no taxpayer would pay a dollar when he could come and make mud pies on their road all day, and visit and gossip with the neighbors, and save his dollar, too. The result seemed to be that the work done was misdirected and generally an injury to the road. With all due respect to the farmer, I will state right here that he does not know how to make roads. An all-wise Providence never intended that he should know. The professional road-builder,, with the money used by the ignorant sapheads and self-made road architects, would in a few years make roads in the United States over which two or three, times the present eized load could be easily drawn, and the dumb beasts of the republic would rise up and call us blessed for doing it. GOOD NEWS FOR GOLDEXDAI.E. Possible Prospect of Speedy Connection With The Dalle by Railroad. Last ' Friday night an enthusiastic railroad meeting was held in Goldendale Mr. J. G. Maddock, who had just re turned from The Dalles, had a proposi tion from Denver- parties to build a railroad from Goldendale to the Colum bia river, giving connection with the Union Pacific line, for a bonus of $50,000 and free right of way'. The meet ing was addressed by Hon. Sol Smith, I. C. Darland, Joseph Nes bitt, N. B. Brooka, A. Howard, W. R. Lailler,Axel Anderson, J. G. Maddock and William Van Vactor. The details of procuring the subsidy were fully dis cussed.' It was decided it could be raised. Six men offered to pledge $10, 000 to start the list. The meeting in structed that an invitation be sent to the Denver parties to send out a repre sentative to confer with . the people. Many are of the opinion, that Golden dale has the first real chance since her existence to get railway communication. If Goldendale' accept the proposition, trains will be running to that point without doubt within six months, pro viding all reports are true. Putting this and that together, and the recent inquiries for stock in other enterprises about The Dalles, we feel justified in saying that the prospect is equally as hopeful for The Dalles as it is for Goldenda'e, as the line will connect here with the U. P. R., and as the Ore gonian says today, this city will find the greatest elements of future growth in the development of the country rendered tributary to it by nature, and local rail way lines tapping fertile and productive regions, now almost inaccessible, are the best means of promoting such develop ment. ' There are several productive set tions not now directly tributary that could be rendered so by railway lines reaching out direct from this city, or built for feeders to an open .Columbia river and the lines which we now have JOHN C 109 SECOND STREET, MISS ANNA PETER S CO.

UUI treatment at the hands of these leaders. It was Mr. Emerson who said "the first wealth is health," and it was a wiser than the modern philosopher who said that "the blood is the life." The system, like the clock, runs down. It needs winding up. The blood gets poor and scores of diseases result. It needs a tonic to enrich it. ' A certain wise doctor, after years of Ernflv- discovered a medicine which purified the blood, gave tone to the sys tem, and made men tired, nervous, brain-wastim? men feel like new. He called it his "Golden Medical Discov ery." It has been sold for years, sold bv the million of bottles, and people found such satisfaction in it that Dr. Pierce, who discovered it, now feels warranted in selling it under a positive guarantee of its doing good in all cases. Perhaps it e the medicine for you. Yonr's wouldn't be the first case of scrofula or salt-rheum, skin-disease, or lung disease, it ha3 cured when nothing else would.

A reported outbreak of cholera at Hel- metta, N. J., created much excitement -in that vicinity. Investigation showed that the disease was not cholera but a violent dvsentery, which is almost as severe and dangerous as cholera. Mr. Walter Willard, a prominent merchant of Jamesburg, two miles from Helmetta, says Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhuea Remedy has given great eatia- faction in the most severe cases of dvs entery.
