It had to come; statesmen ait the national capital feel easier; they . . . t . n n i ir rurrpur rtiar imiai arm ira i nu ruu - American lives were sacrificed to the VheaUancy of the senate and the perfidy vend miserable ambition of Aguinaldo, This opening of war turned the scale and eaw loyal men in the senate vote to ens- luvathe administration. The loyalty of the eonther-n men who were above the aaareVish to -embarrass the adirnnietra :tvon will be remembered and recognized. 'Ib 3 incident has been worth all its cost; mow we must show the world that we know how to govern benificently as well mm to acquit e possessions. "River and harbor bill The action ot t&e bouse in -refusing to carry out con tracts for improvements in Oregon and tmalre other appropriations, should be a .practical lesson to the people of the tate. The fifty fourth congress made appropriations and laid plans for future rork to thejainouot of $1,926,610. At hat time Mr. Hermann was on the river and harbor committee; not only so, but 'be was next to the : chairman on that committee and in line of promotion to be cbaartuan. His age made him a mem- ber of all conference committees and save him wide influence, that only old members can attain. It is no disparage sreat to new members to say that they mast acquire influence by experience this will apply to their cases when time couiea to elect another delegation. The fact that Dolph and Mitchell served ( long in the senate avo them great in fluence; Mr. Hermann bsd the same gtrasiige. The important ' places these gentlemen held on committees they owed to the long time they had; served Ae state we cannot afford to be chang aiiz congressmen all the time. The new . Appropriations made for Oregon amoun tfo less than a tenth of those made by the .. ity-fourtb congress to wit: Upper Columbia, $5,000: Lower Willamette 100,000; Coquille, $29,000; Upper Co qaill, $6,000; Columbia to Vancouver, 440,000. These form the total for the present year. Those omittedare tne laws being repealed thatauthorized them. Ya quina $1,000,000; Port Or ford, $200,000 ; boat railway at Dalles, $150,000; Coos bay, Cascades, Siuslaw, Umpqua; Coos river, Alsoe, Nestncca, the Wil lamette and Yamhill, Tongue Point to Astoria all these are ignored and itre mains to be seen if any part will be re stored by the action of the senate. In the-senate we count as many as any other Btate, but in the house we have little influence with but two members.' The position Mr. Hermann held on the river and harbor committee was of im mense importance to Oregon. Our pol itics may require a faithful servant but the policy of older states is to put good men in congress and keep them there as long as they are useful. The world was surprised to see so good a man af Her mann left at' home. The same may apply to changes that may occur or that have occurred., The future should profit by past experience and keep, good men in congrees for common sense reasons. Mr. Tongue ably showed that the state represented on the committee were but one-third of the union but received two thirds of the appropriations.' - This interests Oregon as the com merce of our state decides its wealth nd prosperity. The Columbia entrance that was very dangerous, by government aid has become one of earth's safest har bors ; the river improvements make Portland the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest. Congress ' will have too much to do the three months left of the session to devote- time to the wants of the states. Many questions of interest will be left over to another session.- Mr. Simon has got acquainted and will be in good form for. business when the next congress meets. The Oregon delegation get along well and act ' harmoniously. Our state has always been ably' repre sented. It has commanded much more influence, in past time, than any other on the vast coast. ' This was due to the quality of the men we have sent; Lane, Nesmith, Grover, Williams who stood high as any Dolph, Mitchell all these had influence and gave Oregon honorable standing. We are ably repre sented at this time; no more industrious and capable man than Senator McBride ever represented Oregon ; his tact and political sense make him respected and ifluential. Senator Simon has shown efficiency in his connection with Oregon legislatures, where he has always been a governing power. He will be sure to ae-.J complish results here. Colonel James J. Kelly, who was prominent in early Oregon history, and was connected with early Indian wars, ives here, be and his son being in the practice of law. Last Sunday, in com pany with H. N.

CATARRH OF , THE STOMACH A Pleasant, Simple: but Safe and Ef- fecual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to. incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour and watery risings; a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and - lungs and ' difficult breathing; headaches,' fickle appetite. nervousness and a general . played out languid feeling. - : ."" : There is often a foul taste in the mouth coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, 'inflamed condition; The cure of this' common and obsti nate trouble is found in . a treatment which causes the food to be readily .thor oughly digested before it can to ferment and irritate t'he delicate mucus surfaces of the stomach.- To eeenre a prompt and healthy, digestion is the one necessary thing to do, aud when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition ' wll have disappeared. . According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use - after each meal a tablet, com posed of -Diatase.Asep tic Pepsin, a little Nuxv "Golden Seal and trait acid9. These tablets tan now be found at all drugstoies under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will certainly follow their regular use af ter meals. . Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, III., writes : "Catarrh is a local condition resulting rom neglected cold in the head, W hereby the lining membranes of the nose become inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into tire throat reaches the stomach, thus pro ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of .the stomach without cure, but. today I : am the happiest'of men after using only one box . of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find ap propriate words to express my good feel ing. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use."

The top of the Enchanted Mesa of New Mexico was at one time inhabited. It has been proved that Indian tradi tions should not be dismissed as merely mythical after only casual explora tion. . " This has been, demonstrated as the resillt of the trip of F. W. Hodge, of the (bureau of ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, who has just returned from an expedition to the mesa. The Enchanted Mesa of "New Mexico has ex cited the interest of scientists and the daring" of exploring parties. It was brought into prominence a few weeks ago by the expedition of Prof. William Libhey, of Princeton university,, who took rope-throwing1 mortars, huge kites, balloons and tons of apparatus to scale this hitherto inaccessible table land. The purpose of the investigations has been to determine whether the summit of the mesa was at one time inhabited) "by the prehistoric Acoma Indians. Prof. Libbey reported .no evidences of early occupancy. Mr. Hodge's explorations have brought different results, however, for after scaling the mesa he spent some time on the summit, found a num ber of fragments of ' pottery, arrows, shell bracelets, stone axes, etc.; estab lishing conclusively that the top of the mesa wasat One time the home of hu mans.. ' Mr. Hodge was sent by the bureau of ethnology to examine a series of ruins in western New Mexico and to attend -the snake dance of the Moki Indians. This done, he was directed to proceed to the Mesa Escanada and scale its precipitous walls in any way he saw fit. He procured an extension ladder, comprising six sections of six feet each together, with an- ample sup ply of rope, and proceeded to the mesa September 3T accompanied by Maj. George H. Pradt, deputy United States surveyor at Laguna, N. M. who is fa miliar with that section; A-C.Vroman, of Pasad'ena, Cal., who'acted as photog rapher of the expedition; H C. Hoyt, of Chicago, and two Laguna Indians. Th mest was determined to be 431 feet from the -western plain to the top of the highest pinnacle above the cleft, and the talus, at the base of the cleft, 224 feet above the plain. The climb was without any serious difficulty until the party reached a great sandstone. The ladders were hauled section: by sec tion to this - point by means of the opes then fitted together, and raised against the- clifK. , Mr- Hodge ascended to the top and climbing over the slope immediately abovev lashed the top of the ladder to a huge bowlder that had fallen from above and lodged on the terrace some 20 feet from, the summit. The ladder was then ascended by the remainder of the party and the top easily reached. The ascent consumed exactly 2 hours, The- explorers had not been on the summit of the mesa, five minutes be fore Maj. Pradlt picked up at fragment of ancient pottery, which indicates clearly that the mesa had been visited, at any rate, in former times, ana that Prof. Iabbey was mistaken in- his con clusions. During the afternoon and the next day Mr. Hodge examined the ground critically, while . Maj. Pradt made a survey of the mesaj and Mr. Vro- man secured a number of photographs, Several potsherds.- two 6tone .. axes (broken), a fragment of a shell (brace let and a stone arrow point were the chief evidences of former occupancy found on the narrow storm-swept crest, but abundant potsherds, etc., were found in the talus swept down from the' summit. All vestiares of. the- an cient trail ascending the talus and continued thence to the summit by hand and foot holes in the solidi rock, have been; obliterated, but some traces of the hole remain. This verification of an Indian tradition, notable for in herent evidence of accuracy, is peculiar ly gratifying to students of anthrop- . Prof. Libbey s Iadaer was discovered Orf f still lashed in place above the crevasse, Mr. Hodge's researches will arouse great interest among American ethnol ogists and -archaeologists.
