minutes at Memaluse island. This bar

famous by the fact that it is an old bury

work was accomplished during the

from Celilo to The Dalles, to be con

readily convinced that the time is now

to the people of the Inland Empire and
the state in general, the matter should
no longer be delayed..

p. m. the boat touched at The Dalles

great company of citizens and escorted
by a brass band to the Umatilla house,

and in every way comfortable. Notwith

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

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.
