JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge Bays: "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
eo. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
vine, 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 'Brights disease, and as an alterative
,ior 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. .Nelson,

THE HIGHEST CLIMB.
Pioneer Pea-A PreYiously Uneiplorefl
Crest in Tne Mnstagns.
AT AX ALTITUDE OF 23,000 FEET
Mr. Conway. Corrected Sonic Important
Geographical Points.
UK NAMES THK GOLDEN TIIKONK.
A Peak which Affords Splendid Oppor
tunities For Ambition Moun
tain Climbers.
A Chicago account says : What is
probably the highest mountain climb
ing yet accomplished by man has been
done within the last three weeks in the
Himalayas by a party under the lead of
one Mr. Conway. In the great cluster
of mountains comprising the Mustaeh
range, at tne junction 01 tne ninau
Kush and Himalayan systems, Mr.
Conway and his fellows managed to at
tain a height of 23,000 feet upon a pre
viously unexplored crest, which they
named ;Pioneer peak. This height,
which is said to be considerably above
the best- well-authenticated ascent yet
made, did not seem intolerably cold or
airless to the' climbers, and had not
their provisions given out they would
have gone 1,000 feet higher. Mr. Con
way started from a point in Little
Thibet and ascended the Baltoro glacier,
discovering that the shape and size of
that river of ice is not at all as repre
. . .
sented in maps and geographies. At
the head of the glacier he found a lofty
peak, also unknown to the maps, which
he has named the Golden Throne,
From the altitude of 23,000 feet Mr
uonway was enabled to correct some
important points of geographical in
formation, as to the location and height
of Great peak. According to his report
this peak does not eeem inaccessible nor
even amazingly difficult. As it is 28,
278 feet high, about five thousand feet
abe Mr. Conway's highest ascent, it
offers splendid opportunities for ambi
tous mountain-climbers.
OUII NATIVE LAND.
Columbus ly in The Dalles The Ex- .
ercises. Procession, etc.
Yesterday, all over the Pacific coast,
and so far as we have been able to learn,
for that matter all over the continent,
was a day of beauty, and all nature sang
praises to the name of Columbus, and
our native land.
The entire, population of America
was assembled in honor of the day, and
the population of The Dalles was none
the least of these to do homage to the
discoverer of Our Native Land.
According to arrangement the public
schools of the city bad a most excellent
programme. At the grammer school
-building the main room was packed
with pupils, parents, and visitors, before
the hour of commencement, and the
overflow sought the shade of trees in the
yard.
The hall was beautifully decorated,
and upon the blackboards were numer
ous appropriate sentiments and designs,
not the least of which was a drawing
of the Santa Maria, under full sail.
The picture of the Santa Maria, the
Pinta and Nina, the small fleet of Col
umbus, drawing near to the strange land
whose stranger people stood on the shore
awaiting them, is one which no Ameri
can can consider without a thrill of ad
miration and of marveling.
In all the glory of tropical sunshine,
gently . careering over the blue water
with sails gleaming, colors flying and
the symbol of the cross marking the sig
nificance of the event, the three weird,
bird-like objects drew nearer to the
beach ; then the chains rattled, the an
chors plunged to the sand below and the
event was an accomplished fact.
Sixty-nine days had elapsed since the
admiral and his squadron had sailed out
of Palos ; but from this number must be
taken the twenty-five days during which
they were delayed at the Canary islands
completing their outfit, so that they had
been forty-four days on their eventful
voyage between the sailing from Palos,
Spain, on August 3d, and the landing on
Guanahani, or Watliag'a island- (as is
generally conceded), on October 12th,
according to the revision the 21st.
Columbus was now well advanced in
life, nearly sixty, and for almost a' third
' of that period ho had been hanging about
J the courts of the, European monarchs,
; cap in hand, trying to awaken sufficient
i interest, in his enterprise to insure the
fitting out of the small expedition he de- ;
manded. Deceived, baffled, discomfited,
as he nought in England, France, Italy,
to achieve his purpose, he had at last
found in Ferdinand, the Catholic, and
Isabella of Castile the instruments
through whom he was to attain success.
All these matters of interest incident
to the day were discussed in the various
programmes of yesterday, and those who
took part in the proceedings, and tliose
who witnessed them, will forever revert
to the occasion as a day of joy, patriot
ism, rest, jubilation, peace, prosperity,
brotherhood, hope; a day of perfect
beauty !
Following is the programme excellent
ly rendered at the brick school house :
Song of Columbus Day. School. .
Prayer. Rev. J. Whisler.
. Address. Earle Sanders.
Composition, Why Columbus Deserves
Honor. Lena McCoy. .
Song, Star Spangled Banner. 'Sine
Girls. ' . -
Flag Drill. Sixteen Boys. .
Ode, Columbus Banner. Pearle , But

Song, Angel of Peace. School.
Recitation, Columbus Day. Grace

Composition, What Would Have Hap
pened if Columbus Had Not Discovered
America. Mable Omeg.
Song, Our Native Land. Five Boys.
Recitation, Columbus. Hattie Cram.
Recitation, The Better Way. Martha
Baldwin.
Patriotic Quotations. Nine Pupils.
Recitation, The Day in Columbus'
Life, Georgia Sampson. .
Song, Red, White and Blue. School.
Similar exercises were held at the
large frame school house, and the small
frame school house under the hill.
At the close of the last piece the con
gregation filed out into the yard, and
formed in columns according to classes,
forming a semi-circle in - which was
placed the school organ, and here in full
view of the school house, the Stars and
Stripes were raised upon a staff on the
building and saluted in unison. This
was indeed an impressive scene, where
500 pupils ranging from the little tot up,
were the actors. America was next
sung by the school, the visitors joining
in the chorus.
The veterans of the war were repre
sented, and one of the G. A. R., Rev.
J. Whisler, made a very excellent ad
dress, at the close of which three rous
ing cheers went up for the flag.
It was now 12 o'clock, and President
Adams of the school board having in
terested himself specially in the matter,
The Dalles Citizens Band appeared
upon the scene, and a procession was
organized. Headed by the band, and es
corted by a detachment of the Grand
Army, the procession marched down
Union street to Second street, up Second
street to Federal street, up Federal
street to Third street, down Third street
to Union street, up Union street to the
brick school house, where the' crowd
dispersed.
The procession covered a space of four
and a half blocks. The youngsters were
all provided with . uniform, cap, or flag,
and each wore a Columbus badge, pro
ducing an electrical effect. The order
observed- in the parade was better than
that in an ordinary procession of men.
The teachers and pupils of the Acad
emy joined heartily in the exercises, co
operating with the teachers and pupils
of the Public schools, to make the occa
sion a decided success.
The school in district No. 14, on 5-Mile,
Miss Cheese teacher, came in to partic
ipate with the schools of the city, but
were greatly disappointed on reaching
the city, to find that they had been mis
informed as to the hour, and the exer
cises were over. The children enjoyed
the visit to the city however, and Tni
Chronicle acknowledges a call from
some of them, including Clyde Riddell,
Henry Wickman and George Houston.
The music ws exceptionally fine, and
much praise is due to Mrs. Patterson
for her excellent success in drilling the
children in the vocal parts. Mrs. Cran
dall is equally deserving for her valua
ble assistance in the instrumental parts.

Washington-, Oct. 21. Dr.
visited the bedside of Mrs.
this morning, and afterward
correspondent that it was
Gardner
Harrison
said. to a
merely a
question of time, but whether an hour ,
or days can only be determined by
events- It is said the disease is now
making rapid progress in the left lung
and the patient is growing weaker.
There is a weaker pulse, feeble respira
tion, temperature 103, coughing spells
more frequent, followed by periods of
great'exhaustion, from which she. rallies
with extreme difficulty. She was wake
ful and vfiry nervous during a greater
part of the night, but seemed a trifle
more comfortable this morning.
PUenominal Run of Salmon.
Review. The greatest run of silver
salmon for years is now in the Siuslaw
river. The advance guard crossed the -bar
on the 24th of September, and those .
who witnessed their coming say it was a
grand sight to see them as they seethed
and rolled and squirmed, almost chok
ing the flow of wondering waters in their
mad rush. Timmin's seine caught in
four days upwards of 7,000; the two
biggest hauls being 1,256 and 1,104. The :
seine was then laid off as the gill nets
could easily supply all the salmon need-(
ed. The Rose hill cannery packed dur
ing the week ending October 3d, 19,800 ,
salmon, or nearly 200 tons of fish as they
were caught. Ohe man alone caught in "
two nights 56TVish; getting nearly $100 .
for two days work. Barney, one of the
progressive Indians, has already made
more than $200, and his two dusky
maidens of 13 to 14 summers, of whom
he is Justly proud, have filled at the
Timmins cannery more than 30,000, get
ting $1.25 per thousand. In fact all who
have fished as well as the canneries
have don e well.
A Local Idyl.
Oregon City Enterprise. Mr. Wil
kineon's idea that the right tp keep
cows and let them run at large in Ore
gon City is God-given is rather far
fetched. The right of a person to go .
naked is more God-given than the right
to keep cows, but one who would pre
sume to perambulate the streets of the -city
without proper raiment would get
into trouble very speedily, and Mr.
Wilkinson would not think of defending
him. The right of the people to own
cows is no more God-given t than the
other right of the people, through their
representatives, to prevent the beasts
from roaming at large in the-city. But
people who do not own cows have rights,
and those who do own cows have other
rights than merely to own those quadru
peds. Among these are reasonable se
curity against the marauding cow both
at their homes and in the streets. In
the country cattle do not acquire such
vices as they do in town, and property is
more easily protected against, them.
The country is the place for the ani
mals, and no one would think of keeping
them off the roads there. But there is
as much unreason' in letting cattle
range at will through a city where there
is any self-respect and regard for neat
ness and comfort as to- have the beasts
in the parlor more, in fact, for letting
them go at large is a public nuisance,
not merely a private one. It would be
nothing short of disgraceful to repeal
the present ordinance.
