oi l practioners that they might avail them
selves of anything new in the line of den-
tnstry, and return with it, as it were, in a
nutshell and give their patrons the benefit
of it. This is something the doctor thinks
every dentist ought to do and keep np with

try by issuing a daily edition at no great
financial gain to the publisher. It is no

tution of The Dalles. With these few
words as introduction, if the business men
of The Dalies desire to patronize an institu
tion which aims to. build up the country
well and good; but if they prefer to lend aid
to a circular of a week s lite, it is their own
reference. ' Our agent will call upon the
business men in this city to-morrow to as
certain what they desirn during fair week.
School at Hand.
The term of school has already begun.
Parents are your children attending?
The per cent, of attendance last year was
the best we ever had, and we believe we
made substantial progress. The patrons of
the school expect and they have a perfect
right to do so; yes, to demand, practical re
sults from the schools that are costing them
so much each year. It is not too much to
ask that their children be given a fair Eng
lish education.
On the other hand, the board of educa
tion have a right to demand that the chil
dren be kept continually at school, that the
indifference and carelessness of some par
ents do not inteifere with these results.
The child's school life is short enough at
best, not averaging more than six years.
How short a seed time from which to
gather life's harvest. These are years of
vital importance to children. Then or
never is the child to be educated and trained
for life's work. The fruits' of all his later
years depend upon this seed time. We all
wish our children to be thorough business
men and wemen. But when are the seeds
of this harvest to be planted if not now?
Let ns remember that attending school is
the child's business now, so will he attend
to it in the future. The four cardinal vir
tues of the school are: punctuality, regu
larity, silence and industry. Without these
no school can succeed, and no pupil can
ever reach satisfactory results.
The reason that your children dislike
study, hate the teachers, play truant, fall
behind their classes, and finally leave school
is because of irregular attendance. Many
a child is cheated out of a brilliant future,
and all that that implies simply by the in
dulgence of a too proud parent.
We hope the patrons will look well to the
business side of their children's school life
and do what they can to help those in au
thority to reach the best possible results.
Make it your business to know that your
children are attending strictly to business
each day. , A. C. Connelly,
Jfi Co. School Supt
Death cf Mr. W. I. Graham,
From Tuesday's Daily.
The sad intelligence was received in this

Civp Weather Bulletin Ks, R8.
Oregon State Weather Bureau in co-opera
tion with U. S. Siynal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For vxel ending Sept.
14, 18S9: '
The temperature has been below the nor
mal. Since Sept. 1st the mean temperature
has been about two degrees, daily, below
the normal. During the middle of the
week, especially on the 11th, the tempera
ture fell to 40 or below, allowing of frost
formations in many sections ot the state
generally very light but sufficient to be ole
servable. This frost is one of the eurlist
on record. Frost to be injurious to vege
tation seldom occurs in Oregon before
October 12th, except in the more elevate
regions, i. his is further evidence tending i
show the advanced state of the season.
The forepart of the week gave a shower,
which was principally coufided to the north
western part of the state, excepting tins
rain on the 9th and 10:h no other precipita
tion is reported during the week. The
sunshine has been about normal. The
mornings haye generally beeu cloudy and
foggy, giving way about noon to warmth
and sunshine. The effect of these condi
tions on farming operations has been quite
favorable. On late gardens, corn and buck
wheat the conditions have beeu unfavorable
the early light frost doing slight damage to
potato, tomato and squash vines. The
weather has had slight ettct on the grats
and has been generally favorable to hop
picking, fruit drying and working ot sum
mer fallow. Seeding is now being pushed
forward in sections ot western Oregon; the
soil is generally too dry in Eastern Oregon
to work it. A larger acreage of wheat than
usual is or will be sown in parts of the V il
lamette valley. In Eastern Oregon cabbage
is heading though much of it never had any
rain. Young orchards are looking well.
The potato crop is short.
Pasturage-in the mountains is not as good
as usual.
In some of the valleys in the mountain
regions threshing is being finished np ami
good yields are reported in many sections.
The long period of dry weather proved to
be injurious to all crops iu most sections of
Oregon. The yield, however, is fair in
most sections for even Oregon, .while for
the east they would be considered large
crops.

It is surprising the amount, quality and
Variety of fruit that is being produced east
of the mountains where a few years ago the
land was considered tit for only stock, then
for wheat, now it brings forth fruit that
surprises even the most sanguine. - Almost
every section of Eastern Oregon reports fine
specimens of fruit, Bartlett pears appear to
be the most cultivated and grown, though
apples, prunes, peaches and other fruits are
produced. Urapes are also successfully
grown in many suctions.
Thin ice was observed in a few pools of

in E istcrn Oregon thin ice occurred in many

After cutting out the editorial mention
of the proposed visit of Henry George and
Dr. McGlynn to Oregon, Mr. C. S. Jackson,
f ,., v . -)., .:.. ,, ,i, rn
"
. ,
It ia reported that Jlenry George
and Dr. McGlynn will visit Oregon for
the purpose of forming a single-tax
party in this state. This year would
be a very auspicious time for these
theorists to visit Wasco and Sherman
counties, as our farmers would duly
appreciate a tax on their lands, while
the aggregate ' wealth of the cities
would go scot free. We do not know
of a better opportunity to illustrate
the fairness (?) of the single-tax ideas
of these reformers than the present
time, and we hope they will come to
Eastern Oregon this fall.
Dear Michel!: For your personal per
usal I will state that vou have a veiy er
roneous idea concerning the "single tax
and one which I possessed myself. It
may siartle you, but the "single tax,"
means less taxation on farm lands and
more on the "agregate wealth of the cit
ies." I am sure if you will examine into
the "theory" you will see this truth. ' The
"single tax" is a panacea for the central
zation ot wealth, because its aim is to
give to the producer all he earns. If it
brings about this result the monopolizer.
tue speculator, tne usurer and that ilk will
have to go. The producer can not be
damaged by a "theory" that proposes to
give mm what he earns and all lie earns.
I would respectfully request you to give
the "theory" the attention it deserves and
' 7 u'weruess against itj your prejuuine
ramer, will be removed 83 mine was re
moved. The "single tax" is a too narrow
name for the idea when once its broad
ness and comprehensiveness is seen and
felt. I am an earnest worker in tbe new
crusade, because I feel that the principles
at stake are those for the best protectiou
and developement of mankind. They
mean freedom. If you deem it necessary
and worth the space you can use this let
ter in your columns.

A Had Story.
East Oregonian.
N. J. Gerking is reported to be dying at
Alba from the effects of blood-poisoning,
caused from the insertion of a small cop
per wire into the little finger of his left
hand.
There was a small wound iu the finger
joint, and while riddling grain through a
copper sieve, it is supposed that a small
piece of the wire found entrance into the
sore. Mr. Gerking paid no attention to
the wound, merely wrapping the finger in
a piece of cloth, and keeping on with his
work. The finger and band gradually
commenced to swell, and he was finally
compelled, delirious with pain, to take to
his bed, while Dr. Stroud, of Alba, was
ootined. With much difficulty the doctor
conveyed the sufferer from his ranch on
Middle Fork to Alba, where lie is now
lying.
a man arrived this morning from Alba.
for the purpose of telegraphing Dave Tay
lor, of Athena, whose wife is a sister of
Mr. Gerking, the news of his brother-in-
law's dangerous condition. Mr. Taylor
arrived in Pendleton to-day and left im
mediately for Alba. Mrs. Gerking was
in Pendleton when notified, but is now in
attendance upon her husband.
At last accounts ths poison had spread
throughout almost the entire body of the
sufferer, but affecting mainly his left arm
and right knee joint, the latter being
swollen as large as a man's bead. He !s
suffering terribly and, it is - thought, can
live but a lew hours at most.
Mr. Gerking was formerly a resident of
Pendleton, and is known as an upright,
honorable man and a good neighbor and
citizen. His friends here and elsewhere
will sincerely regret the calamity which
has befallen him.
A Mysterious JUeath.
The La Grande Journal contains this
account of the death of F. M. Watson an
old and highly respectable citizen of that
section: "Mrs. Watson came to this city
last Saturday to yisit her daughter, Mrs.
Bey, and as ber husband did not call for
ber she became uneasy and hired a team
yesterday to return home. When she
reached her home she in company with the
man who drove tbe team repaired to tbe
house, but no one was there. The bed
was mussed indicating that Mr. Watson had
been occupying it. ihe dairy appliances
were carelully looked after and everything
went to show that he bad Deen around.
The alarm was given to the neighbors and
it was developed that he had not been seen
since Monday. The premises including the
well were searched, the pastures and other
places and finally the body was found in a
corner of the cow pasture. Its appearance
indicated he had been dead at least forty-
eight hours. So far as the Journal can
learn there were no marks on the body in
dicating foul play. He bad for years been a
sufferer from an abscess in the side and un
doubtedly this was the cause of his death.
A Brrioos Accident.

Yesterday morning John A. Crawford,
proprietor cf the Magnolia flouring mills
and owner of Santiam canal and city water
works, fell from the top Ot tbe name lead-
ing to the mills, striking a distance of four
teen feet upon the wet and slippery rocks
below. He was alone at the time the acci
dent occurred, and being unable to get np,
had lain upon the rocks where he fell about
half an hour before be was found by so ne
of the employe about the mill. He was
picked up and carefully carried to his resi
dence and medical attendance summoned.
Dr. G. W. Maston being called, Mr Craw
ford was so chilled aud was suffering so
much that it was difficult to determine the
exact extent of his injuries. It was found
that his shoulder was dislocated, his arm
bruised and his hip probably broken.
Every possible attention was given him.
and it is hoped his injuries will not prove
fatal, but at his advanced age, they are, to
say the least, very serious.

The first copy of the illustrated weekly
of the Pacific Coast has reached our table,
and we must say that it surpasses all our
expectations. No pictorial journal in the
orld is superior to this number ot the
West Shore, and the thought that it is to be
weekly visitor is a very pleasant one. The
number before us contains a graphic sketch
in colors, entitled "Running a Gauntlet of
Fire in the Cascades," and is a very strik
ing and artistic picture of a railway train
dashing through a forest fire. There are a
umber ot other illustrations ana illustra
ted articles, but by far the finest picture we
have seen in any journal is tbe beautiful
engraving which occupies two pages in the
centre of the number, with the title of
"Last Day ol the Season." In Us drawing,
grouping and coloring it is simply superb.
If this is what the West Shore is going to
give us, and we are promised such a treat
every week, we will always look forward to
its coming with pleasant satisfaction, ouch
an elegant and artistic journal as this will
be in great demand everywhere, especially
with those who feet an interest in the grand
scenery of tbe west and the graphic sketch
es ot jracilic Uoast incidents it will contain.

has passed the eightieth milestone in the
long jonrney of life have the sincere and
heartfelt sympathy of the whole commu

Work on the Oregon Pacific railroad is
being rapidly pushed forward. A large
force of men have been put to work and
the work on the line will be pushed ahead
all through the winter. It is said that
active work on the road was delayed in the
earlier part of the season by certain nego
tiations pending between the managers of
the Oregon Pacific company and the Chicago
and Northwestern people, but now it is
understood that arrangements are all suc
cessfully completed for pushing tbe road
through to an eastern connection at Boise
City without any further stoppage. There
is no further doubt as to the fact that the
company means business from this time for
ward, and is now in a position to carry this
important undertaking to its final comple
tion. Koticr.

Cascade Locks, Sept. 10, I8S9.
This letter is written with the intention
of enlightening the public as to the inner
workings of this Cascade canal affair. But
in the first place allow me to say that write
as I may I would fill page after page and
then the half would not !e told. The ig
norance of those in charge, the waate of
none", the bulldozing of workmen, the
transgression of our U. S. laws, are some
thing beyond belief except to those who are
or have been employed here.
Lieut. Burr is absent and acting in his
place is one familiarly known among the
workmen as "Norway," a non-citizen, and
a redfaced, coarse mannered man. . As a
specimen of his ignorance, I will state that
he indited fourteen letters before complete-
ing one intelligible enough to forward to
his superior officer. Another and one of
his latest capers was that of making a sur
vey. Men were put to work to dig out the
appointed place for the reception of a lock
H ben the work was done it was found to
be forty-five feet out of the way. So noth
ing remained but to make a new survey
and to do the work over arain. Whether
lie will hit it or not this time remains to be
seen.
Another of the faculty is our boss laborer.
a Canadian by birth and also a non-citizen
During the resident officer s absence this
latter has combined with Norway in a
scheme, the object ot which is to force the
workmen to board at the mess-bouse,
threatening such employes as refused to do
so with immediate discharge. This threat
did not work well, whereupon they
ended
by merely threatening
dismissal from our
bunk-house. Before election the boss la-'
borer told a prominent Republican not tone
so loud or he would not obtain a JqIv the
next appropriation. When victory was de
clared for the Republican party he veered
as the wind and then tried to bargain that
not a Democrat should be employed on the
government works.
One of our established laws is, "that
none but American citizens shall be em'
ployed on government works." This law is
transgressed daily. As an illustration: Four
Swedes were hired this morning; not one
of them are citizens, two being but a month
from their native land. Iwo young men,
American-born, applied at the same time,
but were turned away. Now, I will state
the why and wherefore ot this little nia
ntuvre. The four greenhorn Swedes can be
herded into the mess-house, while the
American boys having a widowed mother
to support would wish to board at home.
By hiring the former S. O. H. will be in
receipt of an extra S67.20 monthly, and he
in turn foi ks over a certain dividend to We,
Us & Co.
ISot long ago we put up a Slavonian to
ask for a job and to offer the boss laborer
So of bis first pay. The boss laborer fell into
the trap direct. 1 o men had been refused
work but an hour before, but he told the
Slavonian to wait a day or so aud he would
work him in.
There is a piece of work here bearing the
name of a cable railway. Our friend Nor
way engineered the job. Fifty thousand
dollars of our last appropriation was spent
on tbe same, and it remains a laughing
stock for the public. W ben bnished it
failed to pull up a single loaded car though
having a btty horse-power engine. They

Christians, as the slave trade is in ours
with tbe Mohammedan. It is that which,
under our wise British rule, soonest raises
a brisk trade and is most profitable
to tbe trader. British rule is, indeed,
largely supported with it. The ware
houses along the coast are filled with it.
tbe very air seems to reek with the vile
stuff, and every but is redolent with its
poisonous flumes. If you go outside of
such towns as Sierra Leone, which from
tiuy conservatories of ctvilived growths
artificially kept alive, you will not see
the ' slightest evidence that tbe natives
iave beeu influenced for good by such
trading relations as we permit our mer
chants to have with them. Quite the
opposite, in fact. Tbanks to our sys'em
of administration, our delicacy in dealiDg
with the rights aud liberties of our
Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla;
"blr.ck brethern," and our drastic dis
couiagcment of legitimate trade, the
country Is sinking to moral and physical
perdition. The resources d the country
remain undeveloped, aud the land is ur
cultivated. Sunk in brutality and vice,
without their parallel in tbe interior, the
people will not work beyond what i
necessary to supply themselves with the
wherewithal to satisfy their cravings for
drink. Before this all-conquering
appetite, the only one fostered on tbe
cons', they have suuk deeper an
deeper in the slough ol thei
natural and acquired depravity. Our
West African settlements, instead of be
ing I rip-lit jewels in the imperial crown
ot urcat iintain, are at this day standing
monuments to our disgrace. Uur gov
ernmcnt lias done all It could unwit
tingly it must, of course, be admitted
to suppress all habits of industry. It
has made sure that no healthy tastes.
no varied wants should be aroused.
Die result is now Sfen in tbe fact that
our two centuries of intercourse with tbe
n est Coast negro have transformed him
into the most villainous, vicious and des
picable being in the whole of Alrica. J
speak but the plain truth when I say
that if the map of Africa was tinted ac
cording to the moral and physical status
oi us various peoples it would show an
ever-increasing depth of color as the
coast settlements werencared the result
of the slave trade in tbe last century and
tne bin name aud other causes trenceable
to our Downing-street policy in the pres

IMiTereat Views of John 1.U Political
Appiratlont.
The chief obstacle to John's prcten
lions is that Hon. Joseph O'Nci!, the
present representative of the district.
wants to succeed himself, besides a large
number ot Democratic bosses want a
chance to secure congressional honors
tor past services. No one really believes
ne uas any chance even at the nomina
tion, and both parties nnite in denounc
ing him lor wanting to sec ure it.
urom 01 recti y different standpoints
Ihe Republicans consider it an insult to
the State, and accuse him of being every-
ming irom a "tough ' up.
Congressman Lodge says, "It is a pre
posterous idea." Governor Ames de
clares "He's joking."' Hon. Ehi-th
Morse asserts "His nomloatioa would
prove Republicanism a failure.'' Lieu
tenant-governor Bracket t adds, "The
Domination would kill his aarty." May
or Hart says "It's a joke DUt up by tbe
Aiew iora papers.
As for the Democrats, thev are mad
because Sullivan's cuim tor recognition
by tbo Democratic party threatens to
drive tbe American Democrats out ot the
paity. Hon. Pat Collins tavs "Sullivan
is joking." Hon. J. O'JSeil declares,
"I'm too modest to discuss my self-an
nounced successor." Ex-mayor O'Brien
adds, "Sullivan is being led to make a
iluoce of himself." Hod. H. McGulre
intimates, "He is suffering from a very
big head."
bullivan is generally credited with
having given the Republicans a big argu
ment in the coming campaign against
the Democracy, and tbe leaders of the
atter are mad at the slogger for his
claim for recognition. ' Many think Sul
livan was put up to it by the New York
bun as a practical joke on Boston.

A VIGOIIOCS KICK.
A Merchant's Wife tne Bone of Contention.
A Denunciation.
A well known merchant who has been greatly
benefitted by Joy's Vegetable Barsaparilla, desired
to give it to his wife, who was very delicate, but
jut of caution first consulted his physician, Dr.
W. H. Grlswold of 8o0 Market street The doctor,
who is one of our leading practitioners objected,
laying be had never seen a saraaparilla that did
not contain potash, which thinned the blood;
that his patient did not have any vitality to lose,
and that what delicate people need is not de
creased vitality, but more blood. He consented
when assured that Joy's Vegetable EarsaparlZla
was directly opposed to tbe old mistaken blood
thinning idea of other sarsapariUas, and that on
tho contrary by specific vegetable alteratives ft
stimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges
tion, and repaired nutrition, hence created new
blood and was the very thing for feeble people.
The above explains the hundreds of cases in
which aged, enfeebled, delicate and ran down
people, have been built np by Joy's Vegetable
Barsaparllhi after the potash sarsaparUlos failed.
Its effects are creating a sensation. & F.
When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla,
When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla,
When she became Hiss, she clung to Castorla,
When she had Children, she gave them Castorla,

Probably no one thing bas caused such a general
revival of trade at Snipes As Kinersly's drug store
