TUESDAY. - - - MAKCH 24. 1896 "THE QUESTION BEFORE HOUSE." THE ' In another column is published a val uable communication from Fossil. It is written by a gentleman well known in this city, and bia name is withheld only ' because we are 'not authorized to pub lish it. The suggestions are most timely. The eitnation analyzed is this: Far to 'the south of us in Gilliam county a large section is asking that it be given trading facilities with The Dalles. This section is one of the richest in Eastern Oregon. Its stock interests are large; its farming lands extensive and fertile ; its basinees men prosperous and enter prising. Owing to better facilities in the way of roads, the trade from the Fossil country has been going to the railroad at Arlington, and beyond some consignments in the wool season, The Dalles has received but little. The competitive transportation rates t obtained by this city have given it a business prestige similar to that it pos sessed in the days when no other town existed to dispute its supremacy, and the fame of The Dalles as a commercial center has gone far and wide, over the mountains and through the valleys of Eastern Oregon. The people of the interior wish to trade with us. Our interests are identi cal. At The Dalles the wool men can receive a higher price for their fleeces ; the merchants can buy their goods at wholesale rates as low as given in Port land. The only thing that remains to tar complete commercial adjustment be tween The Dalles and the adjacent coun try is the lack of good roads. This need must be remedied at once. The imper ative mood alone can be used. The proposal of the Gilliam county people is fair. They offer to build and maintain a road to the John Day, and ask that this city see that the connec tions on this side are made, and a bridge built near the' mouth of 30-Mile creek. Instead of our begging the people to trade with us, they offer to do eo them selves, only aeking that a fair show be given them. It is idle repetition to say that The Dalles must put forth every effort to in crease its trade area. Our merchants have bought larger stocks than ever be fore. New buildings are being built to accommodate increased demands. It is in anticipation of an increased trade that our business men have bought eo heavily, and that increase mast come. The goods we have purchased must be Eold. To carry them over means loss. No method can be neglected which will bring a single purchaser to this city. .And now another consideration. How shall the request of the Gilliam county people be considered? The means are ours. The Commercial Club was organ ized to handle matters like this. Men put their money into this organization because it was held out to them that the advance of the city would be the main consideration. In a meeting of business men this matter could be discussed and steps taken to build the road to the John Day and give to the people of Gilliam county what they ask, eecuring in re turn their patronage. The Commercial Club was organized for a purpose, and it Is now time that this purpose should be subserved. We think it but a reasonable suggestion that a meeting be called at once and tha matter of the Gilliam county road b discussed. A committee can be ap pointed who can confer with representa tives at the other end and full Informa tion be secured. A good road to Fossil with telephone facilities will bring to Union and Court. The Dalles a rich and growing trade: Gentlemen, the question is before the house. What are you going to do about it? Mr. Ellis, we are waiting to hear how you are getting along in the house of representatives with that $20,000 meas ure for the Cascade locks. The nominat ing convention is not far distant, and your supporters have need of all pjssi ble arguments in your behalf. The speedy passage of this relief measure will be your strongest recemmendatiop. Stir up the fire, Mr.-Ellis, we are get ting cold. A bill has been reported favorably. in the house providing for the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. There is no probability of it passing this session, but a certain amount of agita tion is necessary before any reform can be enacted. A change in the mode of electing senators is demanded by the people, the legislative squabbles of dif ferent states the last two years giving new impetus to the movement. A Bicycle Built for Two. To the tune of "Say, boys, what did I do with my winter's wage.' Daisy ! Daisy ! give me your promise true. I'm half crazy over the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage; I can't afford a carriage. But perched on the seat, We'll look awfully swet, As down Second street we'll go On a tandem rented from Mays & Crowe. As always, Mays & Crowe have taken the lead, and are the first to add to their largest and most complete line of bicycles carried in the city, the latest improved tandem on the market. Boys, now is the time to double up. See the corner window for display. TIIE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH. Hard Work and Indigestion go Hand in Hand. Concentrated thought, continued in, robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor. : When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse-power work something is going to break. Very often the hard worked man coming from the field or the office will "bolt" his food in a few min utes which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as useful in the stomach as a keg of nails would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and " ready to break," because they do not get the nourishment they require from: the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at tempts to find rest-in bed. . The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to . the busy man the full en- i" oyment of life and healthy digestion when le takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny sugar-coated pills made of highly concen trated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of all offending matters easily and thoroughly.- They need only be taken for a short time to cure the biliousness, constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of the liver ; then the " Medical Discovery should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in crease the blood and enrich it It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as the . so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do but refreshed and fed on the food they need for health. . If you suffer from indi gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any of the ills which come from impure blood and disordered stomach, you can cure yourielf with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained at any drug store in the country.
