SHAME I. SHAME
. Mr. I. N. Day baa been talking to an '
Oregon ian reporter. The paper, which
through cowardice or connivance has re
fused to lend its influence to assist
the people of Eastern Oregon in waging
warfare against the unscrupulous men
-who have perpetrated an Injustice that
cries to heaven because of it a foulness,
now listens to the siren voice of I. N.
Day, and in an article remarkable for its
one-sidedness and which has every ear
mark of I. N. Dav. attemDts to further
mislead a people whom, God knows,
have already been deceived enough.
No better endorsement of the position
taken by The Dalles papers is needed
than a perusal of the article mentioned.
It is an ex parte statement, misleading,
false and insulting in the insinuation
that the people who would read it would
be influenced by the statements it con
tains. In the first place there is no misappre
hension in Eastern Oregon regarding the
effect of the $20,000 appropriation. There
may have been once, but there is none
now. It is generally considered that the
$-10,000 resolution was simply a ruse in
spired by the Days, and in the carrying
oat of which our delegation in congress
were either knowing or unknowing tools.
(For the sake of maintaining oar belief
.in human nature, we bope the latter.)
That the people once had reason to be
lieve that the resolution was introduced
in good faith is evidenced by the sen
tence in a telegram from Senator Mitch
ell to The Chronicle, published March
19th: "This (meaning the $20,000 ap
propriation) will insure the opening of
the locks to boats, the contractors assure
me. early in May."
This resolution was to authorize the
contractors to divert $20,000 from the
unexpended balance and use it for build
' ing the inner walls. Mr. Day says that
when the matter was first broached there
waa a sum sufficient for euch purpose,
but when the resolution was passed and
signed the money had already been ex
hausted. Ot course it had been. It was
necessary, as a part of the game, that by
- the time the resolution should become
effective there should be no money avail-
able, since If tnere.were what excuse
would be left for not proceeding with
the work. These tvo statements dove
tail in perfect harmony and show the de
sign which at all times the Days and the
' engineers had in view namely, the ob
structing the completion of the locks.
Mr. Day eays that on January 27th
letter was written, to Senator Mitchell
advocating such a resolution as the $20,-
000 one purported to be. On February
lu, two weeks later when the committee
from The Dalles Commercial Club vis
ited the locks nothing was said about
any such move having been made, and
no suggestion proffered that the repre
sentative bodies of The Dalles ana As
toria snonld Jena their influence in
strengthening such a request.
The committee came home and the
Commercial Club took independent ac
tion, asking for an emergency appropri
ation. Possibly Mr. Day wrote the let
ter at the time mentioned. If he did so
he was careful not to say anything con
cerning it to the committee, for if he bad
the cominittee would have asked him,
"Have you funds left unexpended?" and
when he had replied "Yes" he would
' have been estopped- from spending the
entire amount, leaving nothing for the
$20,000 resolution. "For ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain, the
colon vl named Day is peculiar." It
takes no very penetrating eye to see the
motives that underlie the acticns of
Messrs. Day and the engineers.
Furthermore, Mr. Day says, in the
Oregonian, the resolution was intro
duced, referred to a committee and
passed the senate the same day. Either
Mr. Day or the telegraph reports from
Washington are in error. As. we would
not believe Mr. Day's statement as to
what time ot day it is, we are inclined
to trust the. wires, which say that on
March 12th Senator Mitchell introduced
the famous resolution into the senate.
On March 19th Senator Mitchell tele
graphed The Chronicle: . "My. resolu
tion providine for the immediate use of
$20,000 to construct safeguards essential
to the early opening of the locks passed
the senate today." Only a matter of
seven days difference, the' occurrence
itself being of little moment except to
show the unreliability of Mr. Day's
statements.
The Oregonian says the locks are com
pleted and a boat could be put through
in twenty-four hours notice, lms may
or may not be so. There is no means of
telling; but if true it is only because the
water is sufficiently high to allow a boat
to pass over the lower bulkhead, which
at an ordinary stage is high above the
water. Such a statement is but half
the truth, a shambling to make a point
regardless of right or wrong. .
-The main point in the whole matter
isthis: If the Days were sincere in
their efforts to have the inner walls
built (and which we grant were not pro
vided for in the contract), why did they
not, knowing that such a resolution
would certainly pass, hold back a sum
sufficient to make the resolution effect
ive? Why did they not do this, and
then come out like men and explain the
situation to the people, who would have
lent them every support possible?
They did not because they had an ulter
ior object in view, which, in spite of
every law of justice, against the wishes
of thousands of people who have hoped
and prayed for the consummation of
this great work, they have carried to
their own satisfaction.
The engineers and the Days have
throttled the will of the people. Shall
we . say they were aided by the Oregon
delegation? We will not, though there
are circumstances which can be ex
plained only through Ignorance or con
nivance. There are those who say the Days are
but men and working for the stuff that
is in it. Truly so; but. they are to be
condemned for holding out a'promise
which in their hearts they knew to be
a lie. , '

None Bat Ayer at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows :
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It as here on its
merits." .

" "It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by

cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. ' By
