By ths Persistent Use of
Acer's SarsaparifSa
"I was troubled for years with a
gore on my knee, which several
physicians, who treated me, called a
cancer, assuring me that nothing
could be done to save my life. As
a last resort, I was induced to try
, "Ayer's Sarsaiuirilla, and, after tak
ing a number of bottles, the sore
began to disappear and my general
health improve, I persisted in this
treatment, until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally a3
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it." Mrs. S. A.

as follows :
Washington, D. C, June 12, '96.
Messrs. W. L. Bradshaw, A. S. Mac Al

and N. Whealdon, committee of The
Dalles Commercial Club, The Dalles,
Oregon. 1
Referring to your letter of Feb. 24th
last, to the senators and representatives
of Oregon in Congress, asking ns to make
efforts to secure an appropriation of $179
597,00 for continuing work on the canal
-and locks at the Cascades, and that at
'least $10,000.00 be made available
-at once, and further suggesting
that we urge npon the secretary
of war the importance of the locks be
ting used for the passage of boats, if con
sistent with safety, during the present
year, I now have the pleasure to inform
you that the appropriation asked for has
been made in the sundry civil bill, and
that an additional appropriation of $50
000.00, for continuing said work has
been made available for completing cer
tain portions of the work, bo that the
peration of the locks may not be un
necessarily delayed.
The members of the Oregon delega
tion in Congress have also written a let
ter to the secretary of war, urging the
speedy completion of the work.- A copy
of the letter is herewith enclosed.
I have also to inform you that Sena
tor Mitchell and I today called at the
office of the secretary of war, for the pur
pose of personally urging upon him the
necessity and importance of completing
the improvement at the earliest date
practicable, but wa were unable to see
him on account of his absence from the
city. We called, however,, upon the
chief of engineers, and strongly urged
upon him the necessity of early comple
tion of that portion of the wotk neces
sary to be completed in advance of the
opening of the canal to commerce, and
specially requested that the locks be
opened for the passage of beats at the
earliest date consistent with safety of
the work. We were assured by the
chief of engineers that the locks would
be opened for the passage of boats, as
soon as the condition of the work would
warrant the use and operatien of the
canal for that purpose. I remain, gen
tlemen, yours yery truly, - V
' Geo. W. McBkidk.
The letter to the secretary of war
reads as follows:
Washington, D. C, June A, '96.
Hon. Daniel S. Lamont, Secretary of War.
Sib : We beg leave respectfully to ask
. your attention to the clause in the river
and harbor bill, appropriating $50,000
for continuing work on the canal and
' locks and containing the following pro
viso in relation thereto:
"Twenty thousand dollars of which,
or so much thereof as may be necessary,
shall be immediately available for ex
penditure in the discretion of the secre
AYER'S
tary of war, in constructing on the land
and siver sides of the canal between the
upper lock gate masonry and the lower
guard gate masonry, such portions- of
the walls proposed in the modified
project presented by the board of engin
eeers in its report of October 18, 1894,
(which report was printed in the annual
report of the chief of engineers, for the
year 1895, Part V, pp. 3576 and follow
ing), as it may be necessary to construct
in advance of the opening of the canal
to commence."
We have been informed by the chief
of engineers that the completion of .the
work specified in the foregoing proviso
would make it practicable to open the
canal to commerce, without awaiting the
completion of the entire project, as
modified by the report of the board of
engineers, above referred to, and, in
view of the great benefit tbat would ac
crue to. the producing and commercial
interests of the upper Columbia region,
by reason of the early opening of the
canal to the passage of steamboats, . we
respectfully, but most earnestly urge
tbat such woik be begun immediately,
and pushed forward to early completion.
We beg leave herewith to present
copies of memorials presented to con
gress on behalf of the Astoria Chamber
of Commerce, Astoria, Oregon, and The
Dalles Commercial Club, of The Dalles,
Oregon, setting forth in detail the im
portance of the completion of this work,
and the great loss to commerce should
the locks remain closed for another
year.
We cordially endorse the sentiments
set forth in the enclosed memorials, and,
in view of the fact that congress has
made this appropriation immediately
available for the purpose of completing
the work, so that the canal can be
opened for commerce without delay, we
trust that you will cause the walls to be
built and the canal to be opened at the
earliest date possible. We have the1
honor to be, sir, with much respect,
yours very truly,

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical - fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon "the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

pains in his chest were so seyere tbat he
had spasms and was threatened with
pneumonia. His father gave him sev

cured him. Mr. McFariand Bays when
