NOT A SICK DAY
For Over Thirty Years!
KESTJLT OF TJSINO , v -
AYER'S PILLS
"Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty
years have kept me in good health,
never having had a nick day in all that
time. Before I was twenty I suffered
almost continually as a result of con
stipation from dyspepsia, headaches,
neuralgia, or .lioils and other eruptive
diseases. . When I became convinced
. ...
that nine-tenths of my troubles- were
caused by constipation, I began the use
of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac
tory results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My. wife, who had been an
invalid for years, also began to use
Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly ;
restored. .With my children I had no- ,
ticed that nearly all their ailments were
po-ceded by constipation, and . I . soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Ayer's Pills,
if taken in season, avert all danger of
sickness." H. Wkttstbis, Byron, 111. '

THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT-
They Have Full Confidence in the Locks
Soon Being Completed.
The Dalles, Or., Sept. 1st, 1896.

Gentlemen:
We," yonr special committee on the
Cascade locks, beg leave to submit the
following report :
First You will bear in . mind that iX
the time of 'the formation oi this com
mittee that it came to the knowledge of
the Commercial Club 'that the locks
WAn?lt .rmA f. 1 1
March 1st of the present year ; and that
there-was a showing to the effect that
'Certain additional work, was required to
" be done between the middle and upper
of the formation which had been relied
-upon to form a natural wall. ' This was
. discovered to be of such a character,
. that in the judgment of the' engineer in
charge it would not withstand the action
rf the elements, and there were no funds
in the hands of the engineers to be used
for the permanent improvement at this
point.
That we at once joined the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce and others in
terested in the speedy opening of the
locks in a petition to congress for aid in
-a special appropriation of sufficient
funds to meet the requirement, which
petition was at once forwarded to our
representatives in Washington, and, as
we are informed, was passed upon by
the senate the same day in which it was
received, appropriating $20,000 out of
the funds then available for expenditure
A t AA 1u.lta Vint AA-tnfl. . 1 . C . Z
period of some weeks getting the resolu
tion past the house and properly signed
before it could become available as de
sired. "the fund from which this appro
priation bad been made was exhausted,
on - account of work that had already
been done 'by the contractors at the
locks, and the engineers were as yet un
provided with funds with which' to do
this required work. Our representatives
then applied in the River & Harbor bill
and also in the Sundry Civil bill for an
additional appropriation of $50,000 to be
onnKnH fn. a a nni-,.Titn linn t 170 AVl
.V. U MS lM MJ)MM Mni,M.jMl Jl flliTjUUU
for the further completion of the work,
which was duly appropriated under the
River & Harbor bW referred to above.
Second We have recently visited
Senator Mitchell in Portland, and have
had a full explanation of the facts as
above set forth. We were then accom
panied by Mr. Mitchell to the office of
Capt. Fiske, engineer in charge, who in
formed us that he had let a special con
tract to the Day Bros, in charge of the
general improvements of said locks for
the building of the required wall's and
revetements between the middle and
upper gates; and has also in progress
the dredging at the approaches of both
the upper and lower gates, and the con
tract above referred to is to be com
. pleted on or before the 15th day of No
vember of the present year. . - .
Third It is thoroughly the judgment
of your committee tbat this club -and
others interested in the speedy comple
tion of the locks and the opening of the
Columbia river transportation from this
interior point to the sea, are under spec
ial obligations to our representatives in
congress for their efforts in obtaining
promptly the required funds for this
purpose, and more especially to ben a tor
Mitchell, aided by the recommendations
of Captain Fiske, who spent several
weeks of bis time after the close of the
last session of congress for the one pur
pose of getting the funds thus appropri
ated applicable for immediate use, thus
alleviating? the deiay incidental to de
partmental affairs, which otherwise
wouid have delayed this important work
for at least one year. .. ; - -
Fourth: We met in the person of
Captain Fiske a very competent and af
fable gentleman, free and frank to ex
press his opinion, and especially his de
sire to complete the locks open for trans
portation at the earliest possible date;
and he does not ' hesitate to say that he
will recommend their being opened for
use on .the 15th day of November next,
or sooner, if possible, unforeseen and un
avoidable delays alone excepted. '.
AH of which we respectfully "submit.
