Lewiston as soon as possible, wbn be
received the welcome news that the boy
was alive and well." Mr. Inman was
for a time telegrapher for the O. R. & N.

glad to bear that the report was untrue.

Surely tbe interest which Dalles peo
ple take in her public schools cannot be
judged by the number who attend the
various school meetings. We have as
fine schools aa can be found in the state,
and a better class of directors, officers,
professors and teachers could not be ob
tained. To this latter fact must-then be
attributed the success achieved. The
people of the dietrict should therefore
encourage them by at least being pres
ent at the meetings called to transact
the business ot tbe district. Aside from
the directors, clerk, and those personal
ly connected with the work, there were
not a half dozen present. There was
the place to bear the reports and if any
objections were to be made to at once
register them,, or forever bold your
peace. It ib to be hoped that a greater
interest will be manifested in .' the elec
tion, which takea place next Monday.
Aside from a resolution being offered
to tender thanks to Hon.' John Michell

On July 4th about 500 editors, from
every state in the union, accompanied
by their wives and daughters, will arrive
in Portland, where great preparations
are being made to receive them, and,
during their stuy of about two weeks, -to
entertain them in a manner that will
impress them with tbe geniality of
western people, and the wonderful re
sources of our atate. .
When in Colorado last year, not a
stone, was left unturned to advertise to
the fullest extent every city, town,
mining district, euminer resort, and par
ticularly the grandeur of the scenery of
that state, and for montba after the
editora returned home every paper was
filled with Denver, and Colorado in
general.
Oregon now has tbe opportunity to
have juet such an advertisement, if ebe
will accept it In ita fullest Benee. Our
visitors should not go away with the
impression that Portland comprises the
whole of Oregon, and they will not if
plana are carried . out aa intended, it
having been arranged to give excursions
up and down the river and to the differ
ent seaside resorts. . - .
Many places along tbe railroad are
appointing committees to meet our
visitors at the state line, some of them
taking musicians with them that tbe
trip may be made pleasant, and as they
reacn toe uinerent towns, souvenirs
and pamphlets regarding the resources
or tnat section will be distributed eo.
that they may have literature to refer to
in writing up their trip.
The question now arises, what will
The Dalles do to introduce itself, and to
give them some idea of one of tbe prin
cipal cities on' the coast aa regard the
amount of business done bere and the
different products shipped from her
doors? An excursion is to be given up
the river, but it is not likely they will
come tnrougb to lhe Dallea. as the trip
could not be made in a day, and we
have not the facilities for entertaining
them over night; neither could wear
range to arive tnem over the city nor
through tbe country. Perhaps it would
not be policy to undertake the latter.
"any way, when we consider the condi
tibn or6ur roade."
It haa been suggested that' the Com
mercial Club extend an invitation to the
editora to'st6pt'ofr in this, city" for an
boor or aq as they pass through' on their
way to' Portland. The train ' could be
drawn'up in front of the . club and the
guests conducted to the rooms, where
perhaps" strawberries . and ' cream and
such fruits as are ripe could, be served.
At the' same tine , pamphlets could be
distributed, regaiding our city and the
wonderful farming and fruif lands near
here, besides giving statistics of tbe
salmon industry, wool and wheat ship
ped from here, etc. ' .

Catarrh.
Catarrh ia one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
tojget rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburgv
Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes t
"I could see no improvement whatever,
though I was constantly treated with sprays
ana wasnes, ana ainer
ent inhaling remedies
in fact, I could feel that
each winter I was worse
than the year previous.
Finally It w a
Notice is hereby given" that there will
be an annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of The Dalles, Portland & Astoria
Navigation Co. at their office Saturday,
April 1, 1899, at 2 p. m., for tbe pur- i
pose of electing seven directors, and
transacting such other business aB may
properly come before said meeting. By
order of the president.

brought to my notice

ticed a Teroettible improvement. Continuing
the remedy, the disease was forced out of my
system, and a complete cure was the result.
I advise all who have this dreadful disease to
abandon their local treatment, which hasnevex
done them any good, and take S. S. S., a rem.
edy that can reacn tne disease ana cure it. -
To. continue the wrong treatment lor
Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's

cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases,
which other remedies have no etrect
whatever upon. It promptly reaches
Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the
most aggravated cases.
