APPROACHING
CIVILIZATION.
The report of the annual conference of
the Dakota Indian Mission attracts a
great deal of interest. To us in Oregon,
where the Indian title of occupancy is
eo recently extinguished, and where the
feeble remnants of the old order are
daily eeen upon our streets, this report
should excite especial sympathetic in
terest. The' topics discussed, while of
local importance, have a general bearing
upon all aboriginal communities.
The general trend of opinion expressed
by the delegates showed that the future
of the Indian promises to be very differ
ent from the past. The old maxim con
cerning the equality between a dead
Indian and a good one is not going to
hold, and the earnest way in which the
red man has taken hold of agriculture
and stock-raising in Dakota shows that
the old tribal influence is passing away,
and thendians, while cherishing tlie
legends and memories of their forefath
ers, realize that the white man's way is
the only way, and that the sooner the
adjustment to the new order of things is
made, the better it will be for the In
dian. The schools, maintained by the
United States government, have done a
great work in instilling ambition and a
desire for improvement in the Indian
boys and girls; but the weakness In the
system hitherto has been that when the
young men and women were turned
loose from school restraint the only
place they had to go was the squalid hot
or shifting tepee, out of whose filth they
were taken. Since the allotment of
lands in severalty the conditions are
changed, and the Indian is given a pros
pect for advancement and accumulation
of a competence which furnishe a mo
tive for endeavor.
The passing of this once powerful
nation is nearly complete, and the next
generation, brought up under the influ
ences of the Indian echools, will be a
people of different habits and iuclina
tior.8 than their fathers. The alterna
tive of being crushed from existence in
the progress of the white people, or
changing their modes of living, has been
offered to the Indians, and, from all re
ports received, those that remain from
the different tribes have chosen the
latter and the wiser course.
DIRT AND ROCK ROADS.
One of the great questions before the
people of Oregon at the present time is
the subject of road building. The in
terest which the Eastern states have
been showing for several years is begin
niug to be felt by the people of the
Northwest and its importance becoming
realized. The United States government
also recognizes that one of the valuable
adjuncts to commercial prosperity is a
system of good roads and is taking de
cided action in ascert lining the best
way of securing the desired benefits.
Recently the reports of several investi
gations conducted by experts of the agri
culture department have been submitted
to Secretary Morton, and one of the re
ports contains the following statement
concerning the advantages of the dirt
road over one constructed of rock. The
report says :
"A fine, dry smooth dirt track is the
perfection of roads, easy on the horses'
feet and legs and free from noise and
jar. The stone roads, on the other
hand, wear more in warm weather than
in wet. Practical experience shows that
the junction of the stones and earth sec
tions of the roads can be kept even, and
there is no difficulty in the meeting and
passing of loaded teams, two points
which have been raised in the discussion
of construction methods. Xo rutting of
the earth roads result."
Every day brings new evidence of the
disastrous workings of the present tariff
bill. The consideration of how free
tradejwill affect this country has passed
outside the realms of speculation, and is
determined by cold hard facts. Accord
ing to the returns in 1892 the democrats
proved themselves 'the ablest debaters,
and showed an aptitude for twisting ar
guments till the voters followed their
lead and swept into power Grover Cleve
land and his European-loving adminis
tration. But the last two years have
furnished facts and figures against which
all the Eophistry of democratic spell
binders will be unavailing. Especially
interesting to the people of Eastern
Oregon is the wool situation. Since 1892
the imports have shown a great increase,
but the domestic supply has shown a
corresponding reduction. In 1890 the
figures for the American wool clip were
309,000,000 pounds; '93,364,000,000; '94,
328,000,000; '95,264,000,000. The figures
of the last two years show what a terri
ble blow the wool industry of the United
States has received at the bands of the
democratic party.
The promised European war seems
likely to be fought in Asia. It makes
little difference to the United States
where the clash comes as long as it
keeps away from the Western Hemis
phere. The present administration has
shown iteelt incompetent to deal with
international complications, and if the
attention of foreign powers can be cen
tered in other places till the advent of
a republican administration, to whom
the Monroe doctrine seems something,
the United States will not have its dig
nity further impaired.
From Far Away Ceylon.
I have received direct from the Island
of Ceylon a large consignment of its
justly celebrated teas. The extraordin
ary success which has attended the grow
ing of the tea plant in Ceylon is phenom
enal. Ten or twelve years ago a few
planters experimented growing tea,
(the coffee crop, for which the island
was formerly famous, being entirely de
stroyed by a blight) with the result that
Great Britain alone consumes annually
190,000,000 pounds of these teas which
would be a small matter to what would
be consumed in our country, when
Americans realize the splendid qualities
of Ceylon. These teas are prepared by
modern machinery and picked by the
natives with gloved hands and are in
comparable in their strength, purity and
flavor.
Economy is also a most important
factor in the use of these teas ; one pound
being equal in strength to two pounds of
China, it is only necessary to use half
the quantity you would of any other.
To make good tea is a very simple
matter. Use an earthenware teapot and
pour on the water as soon as it boils,
allowing five minutes to draw. Water
which has been previously boiled should
never be used. W. A. Johnston,
, Up-to-Date Groceryman.
Mr. J. K. Fowler, secretary and treas
urer of the Corinne Mill, Canal and
Stock Co., pf Corinne, Utah, in speaking
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy says :
"I consider it the best in the market.
I have used many kinds but find Cham
berlain's the most prompt and effectual
in giving rejiet, and now keep no other
in my home." When troubled with a
cough or cold give this remedy a trial
and we assure you that you will be more
than pleated with the results. For sale

Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
of scrofula, he says:
" It is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver
oil is the best remedy of all. The oil should
, ?'X?,n .'.n emulsion, so prepared as to be
palatable."
He also says that the
hypophosphites should be
combined with the oil.
Scott's Emulsion of cod-
liver oil, with hyporhos-
phites, is precisely such a
preparation.
