A SERIOUS MATTER. Tlie Question of Suspension of Govern jnent Work on the Columbia and Wliat It Means for East ern Oregon and Washington. 4 The controversy between Astoria and Portland over the question of preventing any further government aid in keeping the Columbia river open to navigation, is attracting widespread attention, and will demand the consideration of the people of the state. A 'gentleman from Portland today stated that it seemed very strange that after the government had spent $3,000, 000 at the Cascades ; had expended $2,500,000 on a jetty for the purpose of deepening a channel, and contemplates the expenditure of another two or three millions above The Dalles, that it should now waste all this work in refusing any farther aid in keeping the channel open that has already been made deep enough Detween Portland and the sea for the passage of even war vessels. The interior of Oregon and Washing ton connot afford to have the Columbia riyer closed, which would result in the further and higher taxation of farmers eim ply for the purpose of supporting a railroad built between Astoria and Port- janu ior m uanuung oi tourists. The Astoria railroad is all well and good, but Astorians cannot expect it to be maintained at the expense of the rest of the state, nor can any, but natural business means be employed to secure handling of grain at the mouth of the river. Ship owners make the same rates on grain from Astoria as they do from Portland, and to Btop ships from going to Portland under the present conditions would simply add -another tax upon the farmers of the interior. Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafnes9 is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine casas out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deaf ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J.
