,TBE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF HQS
j Is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
, i to the care and skill with which it is
i manufactured by scientific processes
j known to the California F19 Svrup
j Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
; oil the importance of purchasing the
;true and original remedy. As the
' genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup " Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact' will
Assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
Ioenia Fra Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the - satisfaction
which, the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty '
of the excellence of its remedy. It' is ;
far in advance of all other laxatives,-?
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
"bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, plcasa remember the name of
the Company v. ? ',

OF INTEREST TO THE DALLES.
Propowd Portage Railroad Around the
Celilo Falls A Hot Fight
B x pooled. '
For many years the piojecl of build
ing a portage railroad from Celilo to a
point opposite The Dalles haa been dis
cussed. Especially haa thia been so
since the completion of the Cascade
Locks, making passable uninterrupted
navajjatiou from this point to the sea.
Several years ago Saul Mohr of Tacoma,
and a number of capitalists connected
with him, seeing the commercial im
portance which the building of such a
portage would bring, secured right of
way for a great portion of tbe distance
and in order to advertise their good faith
onto the world graded several miles :of
road from Columbus. When this
waa done the matter was allowed to
drop, but with the occurence of each
Washington legislative session, Mohr
and his friends appeared upon the scene
and pointed to what they have already
done and tell of what they are about to
do toward completing, the ;work begun
eo many years ago. - : ,; : , ; 1 -i i '..:
This year has been no exception, and
already Mohr has announced that in
the spring work, will be again resumed
upon the portage road, between Colum
bus and Rockland. "''
1 But evidently the people of Washing'
ton have lost faith in .these repeated
promises and some of them at least are
preparing to take action on their own
part. Leon W. Curtis?, who lives at tbe
foot of the Klickitat and. ia a representa
tive from our. neighboricg county on the
north, has prepared a bill which he in
tends introducing at; the coming session
In a recent interview 'in the Oregonian
regarding tma matter. Mr. Curtis is
quoted :
"Representative Leon W. Curtias, of
Klickitat county, haa, charge Of one of
the most important pieces 1 bf legislation
to jcpme before the? eejasjori which .opens
here next week. He will aak for an ap
propriation ot $300,000 for the purpose
of building a state ..portage railroad at
Celilo'. WasbV -u -un "
"Tbe road ia to be 8 miles in length
and Mr. Curtisa estimates that it. will
result in a saving of 4 per cent per
bashelIn carrying grain to Portland.
He would have the expense paid by a
special tax levy, and to issue warrants
pending the collection of the same. h -"
'I believe the road will be telf-sus-taining
by placing a charge of 1 cent per
bushel on the grain handled,' Mr.
Curtits said today. 'My plan would be
to pay off the cost of tie work in a
couple of years, and leave no interest
charges to take care of. This would per
mit of operating the road on a basis of
a minimum charge to the producer.
,: When it is reckoned that nine-tenths
of the agricultural area of- the state ia
east of the Cascades, and that about 75
per cent of this area is tributary to the
Colombia river, the great importance of
this portage at Celilo ia better under
stood. There are, eay, 15,000,000 bushels
of grain; raised annually, in districts
tributary to the Columbia river., and
when it ia considered that by the pro:
posed portage a saving ot about 4 cents
per bushel on grain can be realized, the
cost of construction is a mere bagatelle.
Of course, 1 do not mean to say that
with the portage all the 15,000,000
bushels of grain referred to, would be
carried down the Columbia river in
boats; We of Klickitat, for instance,
raised about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat
daring the past season,;- and we realize
that it would be a very good thing to
build this proposed portage and build it
at once." .
Undoubtedly the proposed measure
will arouse opposition from several quar
ters. "The railroad influence , will, be
against it as will flso the Mohr con
tingency. It will be a fight like the
locks over again and the end is uncer
tain.' But the portage bill will not lack
for friends as the members of tbe East
ern Washington and Columbia river
counties are pledged to its hearty sup
port. Delegations from Walla Walla,
Spokane and the Palouse countries will
be at Olympia during the session and
will put iu words when they are needed,
and it would not be surprising if the
bill would pass,an outcome which would
ba satisfactory to all portions cf Eastern
Oregon and Washington.
