PROFIT FROM EXPERIENCE.
The Dalles Daily Chronicle.
Portland business men are making
what seems a determined effort to
regain the trade which once was her's,
t)ut has since been directed to other
places. A few jeais ago of what
ever business was done between
Alaska and the Northwest, Portland
had the lion's share; but now Seattle
is clearly in the lead in this northern
trade. Lately "where one steamer
went from Portland a dozen or more
left Seattle, and the result in the
wholesale business of the two cities
soon became apparent. The advan
tage Portland once possessed in this
reeard has been transferred to Seat-
o
tie, and to regain it will be an up hill
struggle. It remains to be seen
whether the task can be accom
plished. In previous years Portland had
a superiority in situaiion, wealth and
populatiou, which it seemed would
always keep it in the lead ot the
Northwest cities, and so far it has
done so. But the gap has been won
derfully shortened by the energy and
ambition' of the citizens of Seattle,
and there are not wanting those who
think that the queen city of the
Sound will in a few years be the me
tropolis of Oregon and "Washington.
It will be harder for Portland to re
gain her lost supremacy than to have
retained it when she once had it.
This is a condition in which we do
not want to see The Dalles placed.
As regards the trade of Eastern
Oregon, it has come to us heretofore
without an effort. All roads have
led to The Dalles, and without offer
ing any greater inducements than
reasonable dealing and low prices,
our merchants have done a profitable
business. But we cannot expect this
to continue always, unless we make
special efforts to cement our trade
relations with the interior. We
must see to it that the roads leading
from the town are kept in the best of
j-epair, and that new thoroughfares
be built wherever there is need. But
it is also the part of wisdom not to
depend altogether upon the country
trade for our sustenance, but to seek
to enhance our commercial prosper
ity by the establishment of manu
facturing industries.
The subject is a threadbare one,"
but its irrpoitance becomes more ap
parent every day.
The steamship companies and the
newspapers have begun the spring
campaign for Klondike. More oil
cans full of gold have been discov
ered, and men have been heard of
who have taken out the precious
metal as fast as ic could be dup. All
this, however, will little avail the
hungry miners at Dawson City. No
picture of human happening was
ever painted where the light was .of
prettier tint or the dark lines of
blacker setting than the scene of
wealth and hardship at Klondike.
The farmers of Eastern Oregon are
in an enviable position. Very
many of them are paying off the
mortgages which for years have been
troubling them, and not a few will
see a surplus left them when their
crop is all sold. The ordeal through
which the farmers have passed the
last four years has been & severe ore,
but those who have met it with a de
termination not to go in debt at all
hazards are the ones who have
weathered it the most .successf ullj

Tlie readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at laast
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all itsjstagee, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive care 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 ap 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 ca.se
that it fa?ls to cure. Send for list of

Is The Dalles going to take a step
forward or slip apeg backwards this
year? liemain stationary it cannot.
Cities, like people, must either im
prove or deteriorate. Constant vig
ilance is the price of progress. Fore
thought must be used which will
picture future conditions, and plans
laid for meeting them. No one
need think the conditions, in Oregon
will be, during the next ten years,
what they were during the last dec
ade. Competition is keener, our
position is less isolated, and we must
struggle even to maintain the pres
tige we now possess. The Dalles
should make great strides during the
next three 3-ears ; but we never can
do it unless an energetic move is
made to establish industries here
whl'jh will support pay rolls and con
sume the natural products of the
. country. Suyh a move has become
a necessity, and it should be the
proud duty of every citizen to assist
in its consummation. The press of
The Dalles Las long pointed out this
need, and if constant rubbing will
wear away the stone, then some day
success will crown the effort.

good example in the matter cf re
ducing taxes, which every other
county in Oregon and Washington

If strength is what you want, you
should study what causes your weak
ness. It is practically lack of food.
But you eat three meals a day, and all
you can eat at a time.
Yes, but do you digest it?
Food undigested, is not food. It is
not nourishment.
It doesn't create strength.
To digest your food take Shaker Di
gestive Cordeal at meals. After a while
you will digest your food without it.
Then you will get well, and strong and
healthy.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indi-
