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
so. 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. Nelson,

RAW HillERIALS EXPECTED
Innsual Caution Anticipated in Every
Branch of Ki alliens in Deferment
of the Change.
Special to Thk Chronicle.
New Yoek. Nov. 21. Henry Clews,
in discussing the election in connection
with speculation on "Wall street enter
tains the view that owing to the differ
ences in party and economic standpoints
from which the new .situation is con
sidered, there "is much difference in
opinion as to the outcome and the drift
of affairs during the interim preceding
the promised new legislation ; and tins
conflict of views begets some confusion
and uncertaintv. As usual, under the
uncertainties attending a new set of.
conditions, Wall street is disposed to
discount the worst probabilities, but
also counts upon a second operation
based on the reaction that comes later
from appreciation of the favorable
factors in the problem.
The situation will have its encourage
ments as well as its discouragements.
Consumerp of imported raw materials
will have the near prospect of getting
them free of duty, ami openings for
extending our export trade may be ex-
new markets for a wide range of manu
factured products. Still balancing in the
most favorable sense the disappoint
ment and apprehensions of one class with
the hopeful expectations of another, and
even conceding that the final outcome of
the great change may prove as bene
ficial as its promoters predict, it is not
to be concealed that the best we may
reasonably expect, for the next eighteen
months or two years, is unusual caution
in every branch of business, the de
ferment of new enterprises, the cessation
of extending industrial plants, a continu
ous pressure on prices and a band-to-mouth
condition of business. It is to
be remembered, however, that those
conditions will be mainly confined to
the' industrial portion of the popula
tion ; the agricultural half in the mean
time will reap the benefits of two succes
sive years of great harvests and, it is to
be inferred from their votes, :w ill be ex
hilarated 'by the 'prospect of cheaper
living and cheaper labor.
Havoc on the Northern. '
'Friday night's stormi seemed to rage
with' greatest fury along the backbone of
the' Casca'de'range, and all travel on the
'Union and 'Northern 'Pacific railroads
was tied up. .'Bridge 'No. r15, 44 miles
east of Tacomahaa been -washed away
and serious damage done. Only a short
portion of the roadbed has been washed
out, and if the weather continues good
until this morning, with the large force
of men employed on the work, the dam
age can be repaired and traffic resumed.
The portion of the road -which has been
washed out gave the company a great
deal of trouble last winter, . and during
last summer a large force of men were
engaged in making such improvements
as were necessary, to prevent further
trouble, but the severity of Friday
night's storm was beyond all expecta
tion, and the immense amount of water
which poured through 'the gorges was
sufficient to wash out a very substantial
roadbed. '
Treasure In Trees.
A San Bernardino dispatch states that
about two weeks ago a wood-chopper,
named Jones, took a' contract to top
some trees on I street in that city. - Sat
urday be returned to the place to bring
away a clip-ladder, left when the work
was completed. '-Noticing, that one of
the trees needed additional trimming he
climbed the tree ; for ' that ' purpose.
When he reached the fork of the tree he
discovered a, tin can, which on being
opened was found to con tain $900. Loot
ing over Into an adjoining tree he saw
another can, -which he secured and
which was found to contain the same
sum. .There were no cans In the trees
when be topped them, and who placed
them there is a mystery. ..'.'.'
LET THERE 1SE LIOHT.
The Old-Time Decree About to be
Counteracted.
.aver since trie motor line company
have commenced putting in the incandes
cent electric lights in stores ond houses,
at Astoria, says the Examiner, thcyWest
Sbore mills company have entered a
vigorous protest. The motor company
are putting in lights for fifty cents per
month,, but do not furnish renewals.
The West shore mills company have
been .charging $1.50 for twelve o'clock
lights and $2 for all night lights and fur
nish renewals free. It . is claimed by
the West Shore company that the motor
company are given an unfair advantage,
and are allowed to put in lights from
their car circuit wire which is only
twenty feet from the ground, while they
are compelled to place their wires fifty
feet from the" ground. They ' further
claim that if they are allowed to place
their wires at the same distance as the
motor line, they can put in lights just as
cheap. -
They also claim that the action of the
motor company in running lights from
their trolley wire is in direct violation of
the city ordinances, which provide that
all Wires for electriclight purposes shall
be placed at a certain distance from the
ground. This morning the West Shore
mills company swore out a warrant in
the police court against Mr. Hendricks,
the electrician of the motor company.
for violating the ordinance, and. he was
arrested. The motor company also or
dered five hundred lights to fill orders ;
many of them were to be used for illum
inating purposes of the democratic dem
onstration tonight, but as soon as they
arrived on the dock the U. P; company
were notified by the Thompson, Hous
ton company, not to deliver the fame.
This action was caused by a notice from
the West Shore company, that if they
were delivered they would withdraw
their patronage and the result of the
war will be watched with interest, and
the probable result will be to reduce the
price of lights in the city.
KALL BEAKINeS AND ROADS.
Heavier Xoada and Better Roads Sure
The advantages of thVlbaif "bea?nigst
and pneumatic tires have been recog
nized by manufacturers and. riders of
bicycles so long that the wonder is. not
that these friction- saving devices have
been applied to treck sulkies, but that
they were not utilized on 'all sorts of
vehicles long ago. -, .
Wheels of the bycycle pattern can be
made as strong as necessary. The pneu
matic tire passes easily over the' uneven
surface of a roadway, helping itself over
obstructions by its elasticity, and it is
said to be better than springs for mak
ing a vehicle ride easy. '
It is'estimated that the combination
of ball bearings and pneumatic tires
added two to three seconds to Nanty
Hanks' speed by lessening the draught
of her sulky. A gain of such a large
percentage in lightness of draught will
be appreciated by owners of good road
sters, and now that their attention has
been called to it the time cannot be far
distant when they will want pneumatic
tires and ball bearings on their buggies.
The pneumatic will not reach the farm
wagon, for it cannot stand rough usage,
but there would seem to be no reason
why the ball bearings should not be ap
plied to vehicles of that class, in fre'ght
ing, for instance, on Inland Empire
roads. The change would work a great
savingin horseflesh and in time,, for" it
would make possible the hauling of
heavier loads. With the march of, these
improvements will come better roads
This is the age of wheels, and the gentle
man driver, the farmer and the bicyclist,
will soen be in league for improved high
ways in city and country- alike. The
Chkokicle favors the proposition in
every shape, even -to Albert A. Popes
petition for a road department in the
presidents cabinet at Washington. Call
upon Linus Hubbard, or at The Umatilla,
and sign the petition.

No Limit to Their Demands, nor no end

THE HONEST VOTER WITHOUT HOPE
Result of Holding out "Glittering l'rom

Spoils Element.
Special to The Chronicle.)
Chicago, Nov. 21. Innumerable pot
house politicians, ward bosses and petty
gang-masters are rushing to the front "
just now, claiming that they brought
about the democratic victory of the Sth..
In the disposition of patronage nothing,
in their view, is too good for them.
There is no limit to their numbers or
their demands. As a matter of fact the
principal element of doubt in the elec
tion was whether these fellows would
not. be bought up . by the opposition
managers.' And, while they are taking '
it for granted that the public service is
to be torn up and things thrown topsy
turvy to make places for them, the peo
ple who did the honest voting without
hope of spoils are led to inquire if, after '
all, they voted simply to put a different
set of tax-eaters on the pay-roll: Before .
the election the democracy held out a lot
of glittering promises of reform j, re
trenchment and purification.. Now that :
the election is over there is an unmask- '
ing of the designs of those men who have
no other purpose in view than to get
their hands into the people's treasury.

ple or if it had a predominating element
of sincerity in it. , ' :,
The Storm in Illinois.
Later information from Illinois shows .
that the telegraph system is demoralized
throughout the Mississippi valley j'rom
St. Paul to St. Louis. Along the Wa
bash l'ne in Missouri over 100 miles of .
poles, are down. Railroad people say.
the storm was one of the most peculiar,
as well as the most destructive, they ever
bad to contend with. It appeared to
come up the Mississippi river to a point
directly over the spot where Iowa joins
Illinois and Wisconsin. There the wind
seemed - to gather renewed force, and
went whirling about in a circle 100 miles
in diameter. The wind was accompanied
by rain,' which, when the atmosphere
grew colder, turned to sleet and then to
snow. .'.''
Canadian Pacific Slide. '
A . Westminister dispatch gives an
account of the severest gale felt for
years along the line of the Canadian
Pacific. Trains were cancelled in con
sequence of land and rock slides. .. The
torrents of rain which fell loosened an
immense mass of , bowlders from the
bluff above the line near Hope station.
The great rock tumbled down on the
track, twisting the steel , rails out of
shape, breaking the ties into splinters
and ripping up the roadbed. An explo
sion of dynamite could not have .created
more havoc. . When daylight came the
operator at Hope wired to Vancouver
for a wrecking car, new rails, ties and a
gang of men to repair the damage. An
effort was made to send f.he required
assistance, but the huge mud slide be-,
tween Port Hammond and Port Hanley .
blocked the line, and this obstacle had
to.be removed first.' The slide near
Port Hanley is said to be the largest at
the.'point in several years. A great
slice of the bank above the track broke
off and slipped over the line, burying
the rails, for a distance of over 300 feet.,
A gang of men was sent up from Van
couver and Westminster and set to' work
bright and early to clear the way.
