LET VS ASSIST IT. - We Are Indented te the Boys and Girts' .Aid Society, Which Needs Assistance. ' It is greatly to be regretted that our legislators did not see fit to aid in a more eabstantial manner one of the best factors for genuine good in the state the Soys and Girls' Aid Society, of Portland, -which has for some time past been . in the most straitened financial circum stances. Through this society's hands pass annually an average of 264 ehildren Gathered from M parts of the state ; chll lren who are taken from homes of degre -dation and want to receive the best of draining from officers who. are kind tiearted and in every way competent to bring a child up in the way it should go, It would be thoroughly impossible to find a better superintendent than Mr Gardiner, who, while he demands obedi ence, has a manner which draws each child to him, having therefore the best of influence over them. He is also fnll of life and wit and is capable of attract iog the sympathies of those committed to his charge in this way when others 4a.il. Mrs. Graham, the matron, is -woman thoroughly suited to her posi tion, giving the little waifs a motherly care not found in homes they are taken roin. . . Wasco county has great reason to . feel deeply indebted to this society, which ha9 taken numbers of homeless, on cared for boya and girls from her midst and placed them in the beat of Oregon homes. Onr people should therefore take a deep intereet in the welfare of this institution, aiding it individually when ever practicable. Just at present is a good time in which to look into this matter and see what can be done, as from an estimate care fully made by the superintendent, there is needed for the coming two year?, $11, 554, and the income to be depended upon is only $3954, leaving a deficit of $7569. Therefore, if no other aid is received, it will be impossible for this good work to continue. Dawson a She Is. A letter received by a gentleman in this city from a friend who was former ly a resident of Cascade Locks, but is now at Dawson City, has the following concerning that place, from which we have baerd such adi versify of reports : "I will just eay that this country is very much over-rated, both in regard to its mineral wealth and also the terrible cold weather so much . feared by new comers. With the exception of warm mitts and moccasins I tave worn the same kind of clothes that I did at the Locks and suffered no more with the cold here than there, although it has been fifty-eight below already, and that is about as cold as it gets at any time during the winter. "I staked what has proven to be a valuable claim on the first of September, but as I did not give up a half-interest to any one in connection with the official ring, I, as well as hundreds of other Americans, could not get it recorded. To place it in as mild a form as possible, I will say that I never knew anything in ward politics one-half as corrupt as the official traneaations of theN. W.T. for the paet seven. months. 1 will try the American side in the spring, where the one niau power is not known. . Iho A. l. p." s." The A. L. P.

"In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, and I think with considerable suc cess, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for the former at tack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this emedy as 1 had to go to bed in about six hours after being 'struck' with it, while in- the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting .'down.'
