"DONT SQUEAL, BUT ROOT."
The beet text for a business sermon
that has been preeented iu many a day
is a sentence in the advertising matter
of a Minneapolis firm, which reads: "If
business in not good, don't squeal,. but
root." It is illustrated by a porker who
has quite squealing and gone to rooting,
with apparently good success. It is not
a flowery, sentimental or elegant text,
bat, what is more to the point, it is
practical and suggestive.
The disposition to squeal instead of
root has never been so marked as during
the past eighteen months of financial
depression. Many men have expended
so much force squealing that they bad
none left for rooting. They have spent
their days in grumbling about hard
times instead of making an effort to im
prove them. They have passed the
hours in lamentation and let their busi
ness dwindle, while their more sensible
competitors rooted.
. There are many

squeal. Their time is so fully occupied
in rooting that they can spare none of it
for squealing. It doesn't matter what
business one may be engaged in he will
always find a loss in squealing and profit
in rooting. In the long list of failures
annually recorded in this county are
found the squealers ; the rooters haven't
time to fail.
If business is not good, don't squeal,
but root; and if business is good, there
is still less reason for squealing and still
more cause for rooting. Grocers' Jour

THE NEW FISH LAWS.
A dispatch from Tacoma yesterday
says :
"The joint fisheries committees of the
Oregon and Washington legislatures to
day considered and adopted a bill which
will be favorably reported to each legis
lature. It closes the Columbia river
and tributary streams to fishermen eight
months per year, and grades fishermen's
license fees from $200 down to $2.50, ac
cording to the way the fish are caught."
This is a good law, as it will serve to
protect the fish, instead of, as at pres
ent aiding to exterminate them.
The Baker City Democrat mentions
the fact that the Sumpter valley mills
are ' emptying so much sawdust in
Powder river that in order to get clear,
. clean ice, those engaged in putting it up
have to go three miles above the city.
The Oregonian of the same date men
tions a vote of thanks to Fish Commis
sioner McGuire by the joint legislative
committees from this state and Wash
ington. As the putting of sawdust in
the streams is against the law that Mr.
jucvjruire is Bupposea to enforce, we
opine that that vote of thanks was pre
mature. What the fish commissioner
needs is to have his work dispensed
with.
The bill to prevent the catching of
salmon in wheels, should be DronoDtlv
and indefinitely postponed, and if the
. old law that provides that licenses must
be obtained to fish and that none but
citizens could get the licenses, is not
strong enough another should be passed
and enforced.
It is said that of the 153 clerks at
Salem 111 are employed by the senate
and 42 by the house. Just what work
thirty senators can find for 111 clerks is
the one thing that no one seems to
know.

Well, Mr., Mrs. or Miss ot The Chbon
icxe, I certainly sympathize with you
when your local news have almost en
tirely failed, for my notes of this week
are almost a failure, but in my peram
bulations for these, although I am old
and' gray' and rheumatic I kept my feet
under me and do not have to report
braises, if I must report failures almost.
Take a little advise from one of some
years experience, and do not undertake
such a perilous descent until you have
first oiled well your stiffened joints.
And it might be well as a preventative
to wear a pair of goggles, if your eyesight
is poor, that you might better see your
way.
We of this mountainous region are not
seriously afflicted with stiffened joints,
as I should judge not from the number
of social hops the young people indulge
in and dancing exercises that keep them
every or every other evening daring the
week.
Oar weather is excellent ; no better
could be desired. There is but little
snow and a scaicity of cold. One night
tbe thermometer fell to four below zero,
and no win-l for more than a week, a
thing unusual for this section.
At present the general health, like the
weather, is at the best. I can record
but one serious case of illness; Mr.
Magee is afflicted with inflamatory rheu
matism. Little Tommy Ware while coasting
one day last week, was knocked down
and run over by a coasting sled, braising
the muscles of one leg so seriously that
he has not been able to stand on it since.
KoDDy lanz's noree tell witn him a
few days since and bruised one leg so
much he was quite a cripple a few days,
but nothing serious.
The Central hotel is opened again, it
having been closed since the death of
Mrs. Boardman, the proprietress.
Mr. Pearson, who was badly cut by
Pbipps Luny last week, is able to return
home.
The friends of Miss Laura Sasser will
be glad to know she is spending an en
joyable time among relatives and friends.
At present she is visiting friends on Gird
creek. v
Stock in general are doing very well.
Nothing is being fed except a few old
horses and cows and eheep.

Caution to Telephone Purchasers.
The Northern Pacific Railway com
pany uses a large number of private tele
phones at various places throughout the
length of its roads, which have been
heretofore leased from the Bell telephone
company, through whose, territory the
road runs. A few months ago, by cir
cular letter -from headquarters, the Bell
telephones were ordered out and were
replaced by infringing telephones of
other manufacturers..
The change, in its usual course, came
to the attention of the counsel of the
company, who decided that the guar
antees of the manufacturers were no pro
tection, and it was hazardous to subject
the Northern Pacific railway company to
later litigation and the payment of large
damages, so last week a circular was re
ceived by all offices discontinuing the in
fringing instruments, and the Bell tele
phone have been ordered replaced.
Any telephone set up in complete
wording order, embodies a dozen or
more patents dependingapon each other
for a satisfactory and working whole,
and therefore the expiration of one or
two of these patents does not open to
free use a complete or even a workable
telephone. m-w-f.
Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for a man of a family
to contemplate, whether he is a laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas.

cess, I think, only being in bed a little
over two days. The second attack I am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of this rem
edy." It should be borne in mind that
the grip is much the same as a very
severe cold and requires precisely the
same treatment. When you wish to
cure a cold quickly and effectually give
this remedy a trial. 50 cent bottles for

The Rev. Dr. Henry Lunn, of Eng
land, is in this country to promote the

find his task a difficult one in persuading
the great sects themselves to come to
gether. Oreat Oaks
