has expended an enormous amount of
money in establishing tho paper and mak

to furnish both papers for $2.75 is an ex

A New Road.
For several years past tho citizens of
Union have been trying to have a new road
opened up from this city on a more direct
lino to connect with tho Union and Cornu
copia road at or near where the High val
ley r6ad now comes into said road. A
petition was drawn up last week, and circu
lated by C. L. Blakeslce, to have tho new
road laid out and established on the follow
ing line:
Beginning at a point 181 feet south and
2G10 feet east of the NW comer of the NEM
of NWK of Section 19, Tp. I South, of
Ilango -10 East of Willamette Meridian,
said point being on the line between the
NEK of NEK mid tho NWK of NEK of
said Sccticn 10; thenco cast 793 feet, thence
south 50 degrees and 31 minutes East
2,22 t.S fcot; thence south 17 degrees, -10
minutes East 2,730.5 feet; thence south 53
degress, 10 minutes East 1050 feet, inter
secting tho county road leading from Un
ion to Cornucopia.
Tho petition is signed by 123 of the resi
dents and Householders of this precinct
who aro anxious that said road be opened,
as it will be a saving in travel to tho Park
people, as well as all thoso living east of
the intersection of said road, of about one
and one-half miles, and will also be a sav
ing to the people of High valley of at least
one-half mile on u good and straight road
to this city.
There is some opposition to tho proposed
road by ono or two parties through whose
laud the road will pass, but, in our opinion
in tho course of timo they will see that tho
road will be a benefit to them, as it will
give them a better outlet and enable them
thereby to dispose of their land at better
prices. Tho town must have good roads
leading thereto in order to draw the neces
sary trade to build up and support it, and
while it sometimes works a hardship on
some individual for tho time being, tho
increase in the town's growth and prosper
ity, caused thereby, will m the course of
time be a benefit to him.
The most prosperous towns arc thoso
with good and direct roads leading thereto,
and the owners of real estate on tho line of
such roads can always command a better
price for their land than elsewhere. The
tirao has come when this road is needed
and we are in hopes it will be opened.
Council Proceedings.
The council met last Tuesday and Wed
nedsay evenings, the iirat meetings of im
portance for some time.
An ordinance was passed authorizing tho
conncil to call a special meeting of the tax
pavers, to authorize by vote tho council to
commence action for the appropriation of
priyate propeity for the erecting and main
taining of the proposed water works sys
tem, and to pay tho compensation thereof
out of tho funds of the city. Tho ordinance
provides that said election Ihj held at such
a time and place as tho countil shall desig
nate. A resolution was passed ordering a now
sidewalk in front of the property occupied
by J. M. Johnson as a barber shop, also a
new sidewalk from tho bunk, building south
to I street.
The office' street commissioner was
declared vacant an Corwlii p. Cofllnberry

SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent
Its Use.
No poison brings death with nioro
maddening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does not seem to diseourago
tho suicide. Tho man llarrowitz, who
deliberately swallowed u fatal doso of
tho drue; in Now York recently, is only
one of tho many who have gone tho
ammonia route to death in spito of tho
excruciating pain. Dr. Ulyth has re
corded thirty cases of ammonia poison
ing in the small London district of
which he is health olltcer; Professor
Mitchell mentions twenty-two cases,
nnd four have occurred during tho
short time Dr. Jenkins has been con
nected with tho coroner's ollico in
New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from am
monia aro of constant occurrence
among men who work in its manufact
ure, or even in decomposing substances
which give it off in considerabo quan
tities. Ammonia, slowly and from day
to day taken into tho system, causes
tho complexion to lose its freshness,
and tho skin of inon who get heavily
impregnated with it has a disagreeably
blotched and discolored appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to
day in oven tho small quantities used
to adulterate food, such as baking
powder, it not only injures tho com
plexion but attacks tho lining of tho
stomach, and is tho source of much
general ill health.
Tho recent rapid increase in the uso
of ammonia for various purposes, and
the consequent increase in its manu
facture, havo mado it ono of the most
easily obtained poisons and, although
ovcrybody is familiar with it in somo
form, thero is a surprising amount of
ignorance of its dangerous qualities.
Its use as an adulterant in any food
preparation is simply a crime, and as
a crime should bo punished.

Attention, Teachers.
Prof. Strange, school superintendent of
this county, desires to call tho attention of
the teachers holding state certificates, state
diplomas or state normal diplomas to the
law passed February 21, 1801, which pro
vides that ''All state diplomas, state certifi
cates or stato normal diplomas granted by
tho Stato Board of Education may be re
voked by tho board for immoral or other
unprofessional conduct, and all persons
holding such diplomas or certificates, be
fore engaging in teaching in any public
school in this state, shall present such
diploma or certificate to the Superintend

poses to teach, to be registered by the Su

or certificates while they remain in such
county shall attend Institutes, assist In

reasonable work as may be required by tho
County Superintendent, tho sumo as other

All laws relating to institutes now on tho

puled that tho sojourners in heavon
aro 1,800,000,000, and in hell 175,000,
000,000. Now nccording to Dr. Tal

consigned tlicro by convictions and
released from tho lower courts and aro
now awaiting tho convening of tho

thoy must exchange places with thoso
poor mortals that thoy, in thoir timo,

The machinery of the law has not been put to work
too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of
the people arc demanding protection. The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
It will be in the interest of public health when their sale
is made a misdemeanor in every State in tho UNION, and
the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no
article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that
of Baking Powder.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only pure
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free
from ammonia, alum or taint of any kind of impurity. It
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake
that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. It costs
more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking
powder. It is superior to every other known and tha
standard for forty years.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is rt

Alum, or auy other adulterant. In ftwt, tfet
