FOR A PORTAGE ROAD.
Tho suggestion of a convention to
urge a congressional appropriation to
"build a portage railway around the
obstructions in the Columbia above
The. Dalles is not exactly new, but it
has been so long since it was made
before that it seems so. The en
ginecrs who considered the boat rail
way project, as compared with t
canal and locks, rucommeuded or at
least favorably mentioned a portage
railroad, to serve until a canal could
be constructed. The favorable re
port-on the boat railway was made
under pressure, and if it was ever re
garded as feasible, the project will
undoubtedly be dropped. The canal
will come, but only after many years.
Meanwhile the river is blocked from
Celiio to The Dalles to tho transpor
tation of millions of tons of products
and merchandise that must annually
pass that reach, and which must pay
railroad instead of water freight
rates. The annual aggregate saving
to the producers of Eastern Oregon
and Washington and Northern Idaho,
that a portage railroad, operated at
cost, would effect, is beyond any ac
curate computation. It would lake
at least seven Dgures to express it.
Jivea a greater benefit would re
sult to Portland merchants, shippers,
and property. owners. Tlicy alone
could well afford to build the road,
as a private enterprise, and run it at
the bare cost of operation. But of
course this is not to be considered.
Neither, apparently, can the produc
ers cast of the mountains combine to
build the road. Unless congress docs
it, tho work will not bo done.
It has been objected that congress
docs not build railroads, and what is
to be asked would be a new depart
ure and therefore not favorably con
aidcred. But wo can't tell till wo
try. Ihe government has taken
other new departures, and much
greater ones, during the past year or
two. Besides, this is really nn im
provement of the Columbia river, a
preliminary and urgently needed
work, to be used i 111 ihe canal is
completed, ten, fifteen or twenty
years hence.
Let tho convention be held and tho
subject put in shape for presentation
to congress in its strongest light.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
ought to have together a voice of
some influence at Washington, and
it could not be utilized in a better
cause. Telegram.

For ii n Editor to Itecomiiienil Patent
Medicine-.'
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Cuamberlain'e Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used tliiB medicine in our family lor
twenty years and haye always found it
reliable. In'many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale
