Coiiimwntft on trie President Mertage.
The democrats as a general thing,
pronounce the message us a campaign
document, while on the other si-le, the
republicans agree that it is an able pre
sentation of the affairs and condition of
the government.

leading democratic members of the
house says: "I sincerely hope that the
president is correct in saying that there
will be no deficiency in the coming fiscal
year."

were those regarding the tariff and force
bill, and they will not change the opin
ion as expressed at the polls."
Mr. Pickler of South Dakota said: It
is an able message and shows the coun
try to be in a prosperous condition. It
is a fitting document on the close of
President Harrison's able administra
tion." Senator Mitchell of Oregon said : I
consider it a remarkably strong docu
ment. Senator Cullon, of Illinois, re
publican, says: I regard it as an ex
cellent message, an able paper, showing
j a faithful picture of the present condi
tion of the country.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, populist,
says: I think it an overdrawn picture of
the countries condition.
Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, re
publican, said: It is good; I endorse
very word of it. He thinks it a little
long for this time.

ridicule. The Daily Chronicle, says :
It reminds them of a school boys inixim.
If you tell a lie, tell a big one and stick

Cars at The Powdered Grain Arrive In
Portland.
A special train loaded with the finest
flour ever milled in the Northwest ar
rived in Portland Tuesday, after having
been whirled with a speed almost equal
to a passenger train along the rocky
gorge of the Columbia river past the
cascades and into the seaport from the
rich grainfields of Eastern Oregon and
Washington. It will be transferred
here to one of the steamers connecting
with the China-bound vessel. ''';'
The shipment consists of 2,000 barrels,
and the combined weight of the consign
ment was 200 tons. It required 20 cars
in which to store the flour, and was
shipped from Spokane. This is not the
first shipment that has-been made -to'
the Celestial empire of flour milled
from the superb wheat grown in East
ern Oregon and Washington. .

The IJalle Markets.
Thursday, Dec. 8th. : The Dalles
markets are completely demoralized.
Business .has unexpectedly shutdown
and everything is seemingly lifeless.
The roads are bad and the farmers are
busy plowing and. sowing winter grain,
so tbat the streets look quite abandoned
by them. . "
There is no material chinge in quota
tions on anything, unless it be in fat
beef cattle. There has been a slight ad
vance over former quotations, and it is
expected that' as the season advances
there will be a belter inquiry for prime
beeves. There is no doabt but the holi
day requirements are provided for with
something very fine in fat meats, and the
last of Jan. to the middle ol Feb.'or the"
first of March prices will have reached
the maximum, at which time extremes
may be realized. The large buyers have
gone into Idaho and Washington for
their supplies, purposely to save the
reserves of near home stall-feds, for spe
cial demands or requirements, and those
will be held as long as the market will
stand it. Should a severe winter with
deep snows.be our lot, an emergency
may exhaust the reserve and then fancy
prices will be realized.
Mutton sheep, that is to say, extra
good are scarce and former quotations
are firm. '
, In the hog or pork market there is but
'ittle known, save that pork, bacon,
ham 8 and shoulders are dearer, and the
impression prevails by our merchants
that tbat staple will rule firm during the
season, at an advance. .
. The wheat market is inactive. Prices
are unchanged on all grades ; 63 cts is
still paid at the Regulator wbtrf for
No. 1.
- At the head
of all blood-purifiers' is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. But it's
different from all of them.. What
ever is claimed for this, it's guarcm
teed to do. The money is refunded
in every, case where it fails to bene
fit or cure. . It's because it is differ
ent that it can be sold so. All
diseases originating from a torpid
liver or impure blood yield to it.
It cleanses and purifies the system,
freeing it from all manner of blood
poisons, no matter from what cause
they have arisen. For Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, Scrofula, Salt -rheum,
Tetter, Erysipelas, or any blood
taint or disorder, it is an uncqnaled
remedy. Nothing else can take its
place. ' ' . '
" Golden . Medical ' Discovery
contains no alcohol to inebriate,
and no syrup or sugar to derange
digestion. '. - '-.-
It's a concentrated vegetable ex
tract ; put up in large bottles ;
pleasant to the taste, and equally
i cood for adults or children : works
J equally well ail the year round.
A Warning:.--. . j
Goldendale Sentinel. W. A. Hender
son is under sentence of death at Oregon
City. No earthly-power can intervene
to save the unfortunate young man. A
fair and impartial trial resulted : in a
verdict of murder in the 'first degree,
and the penalty thereof . is death. In
bis sad case is another example of the
evils tbat result from strong drink.. The
number of young men who are yearly
going to wreck through the evils of in
temperance are. too many, and. it is
evident that something must be done to
call a halt. It is quite likely that bad
Mr. Henderson never in any way been
tainted with strong drink he would
have been a useful man.. It is hoped
that his sad fate will turn some erring
ynJP!nJaJLin.LX,?rPaJh? of honor. .

Pendleton Tribune. It is learned
tbat new developments in railroad cir
cles promise to be made public. They
are of great importance to people of this
section and wi'l interest all who have
the interests of Pendleton and surround
ing country at heart. The project is in
connection with a railroad to Camas
prairie. ' Nothing more definite cm be
stated today, but will be later. ; The
people of Cttiuaa are very, anxious to
have railroad facilities and all will ap
preciate the fact that much benefit
would accrue from such a move.
