Appropriation for Joint Purchase of Willamette River Locks Melius Much to the ltii.-lncss of the Viillev Counties Will Affect Iimm-nsn Savings. That tho people of the Willamette villey have been Immensely bene fltoc1 by the appropriation for the purchase of the Willamette river locks Is shown by the following ap preciative article from the Albany Herald. As time goes by Willamette val ley people will realize more nnd more the Importance of the free lockage bill, commonly known as the Jones bill, put through this sest-lon of the legislature. The bill provides for the' raising by the state of $in"0,000 a year for three years, contingent upon a like amount to be appropriated by con gress. Tins puts the matter of open locks snuarely up to the Oregon dele gation 'n congress, particularly Rep- esentatlve Hawley, of this district. who Is new and ambitious, and wants Jitst such a measure to use as an op portunity to show his power of do Ir.g things In the national law-mak ing body. Mr. Hawley nnd the rest of the del- ejration have the unreserved support of this paper In nil efforts they mny put forth along this line. They de- "Ve the encouragement of every resident, paper, commercial body, grange and other like organization of the vally. The meneflclence that waits on achievement of the project Is wor thy not only of formal endorsement and encouragement to the congres- Innal delegation, but should prompt the citizens of the Willamette valley to touch. If necessary, our represen tatives In Washington The heaviest weight now carried by this valley Is the lockage embar go at Oregon City. On account of It. the con'tnerce of the valley Is paying out $110,000 to $200,000 a year; and the amount Is growing every year. The breaking down of this embar go will mean a better price for ev eiy bushel of potatoes, every bushel of otits or wheat raised, better price for even pound of wool, better price for every crate of eggs, roll cf but ter or other produce, better price for every head of sheep, cattle, hogs or horses. It will mean better business for tho merchant, lumberman and busi ness man generally. It will mtnn the removal of a burden of 50 cents a ton on all commodities shipped out ol or Into this valley and ten cents a he-id on all stock coming or going. Tl'o lockage bill w.is put through the legislature without a dollar expend e.' in lis behalf, or any organized, paid lobby. It is one measure that will stand as a monument in the wav or rome- llal legislation to the twenty-fourth legislative session that adjourne to day.

Store PennleLon, Oregon condition was brought about In this city this week when our citizens re ceived their tax notices. The 22 mill tax will raise about $125,000, of which amount about $11,000 goes to the etute, the balance will be used for the benefit of Wallowa county.

"Learning that Vlnol contains at the medicinal and strength-creating properties of cod liver oil, but with out the disagreeable oil, we decided to try It. and the results were mar velous. It gave her a hearty appe tite; the color-returned to her cheekc and she Is stronger and In better health than she has been for yeurs, "I cannot say enough In favor of Vlnol for weak, delicate children." A member of the Pendleton Drug Co. iys: "We have never sold a medicine In our -store equal to Vlnol for delicate, oiling children, weak old people, or sickly women and chll dren, and we return money If it falls to benefit." Note. While we are sole agents for Vlnol In Pendleton, It Is now for sale at the leading drug stores In nearly every town and city In the country.
