ALLIANCE COLUMN RESOLUTIONS. Next Friday's issue will be devoted chiefly to the interests of Lexington and vicinity, and will be an edition of quite 5,000 copies. It was the intention to get it out much sooner, bat there was too mach work for the short space of time allotted for this important tusk. It is generally understood that Hon. W. B. Ellis has the entire delegation from the seventh judicial district on his side, for nomination for congress, second district. This we understand, is back ed up by other counties. Ellis will no into the convention with the strongest following of any of the Eastern Oregon candidates. Wk acknowledge the receipt of a pho tograph representing the whaleback steamer, G . W.

Pendleton Trib nne. There will be no lack of congression al candidates in Eastern Oregon who hope to capture the first prize of the republican Btate convention. Baker comity for a while led the van in the number of aspirants, but now takes Bec ond plaoe, giving way to Umatilla coun ty, which has four candidates. Meanwhile the seventh judicial district holds to its first choice and will stand solidly for Ellis as its candidate. Sen ator Norval, of Union counly, is being frequently spoken of ub a possible nom inee, and the faot that be is the only farmer among all the aspirants seems to be greatly in his favor. Times Mountaineer. In the second congressional distriot in this stute there are two prominent re. puhlioan candidates, either of whom would ably represent this region, in I lie lower house and who are men of sue exceptional good characters politically and socially, that no opposition need be feared in the ranks of the party. We refer to Hon. W. B- Ellis, of Heppuer, and Hon. J. B. Eddy, of Pendleton These gentlemen are interested in the growth and prosperity of that portion of Oregon eist of the Cascade mountains. and if either is fuvored by being eleoted to congress, be would ably advooatc the measures so much needed for the (level opment of the boundless resources of this portion f the northwest.

Clerks, Addresses, Etc Two bills passed thesennte last week Dolph's appropriating sulllaient to com plete the cunul and locks at the Cas cades, not exceeding one million seven hundred and forty five thousand dollars, and Mitchell's bill ap propriating eight million two hun dred and sixty thousand three hundred dollars, the full luiioiint of esti mate for the completion of a bout-railway at The Dulles, alliuiinediiitely uvtiil able. Judging from the actions of the lower house during the session, 10 far, this will hardly meet with their approval. The portage at the Cascades is proving Btiuh a boon to our people up here that we would be oonteut with such a pro vision at Oelilo, winch would give im mediate relief. There is no telling how long it will take to complete the Cas cade locks, and we fear the ship rail way is more theoretical than pructioal. Passed by the Umatilla County Al liance in session at Pendleton, January 6, 1892: Whereas, the republican and demo cratic parties have bad control of tne municipal, couoty, state and national elections tor mure than a quarter of a i century, find during this whole period have abused the powers and privileges entrusted to their bands and have crim inally wasted our public domain, be stowing the same with a lavish hand up on the corporations of the wealthy olasses, thus centralizing and tutting into the hands of the favored few that which of right belonged to the many, thus riving the few the power to op press and take undue advantage of the many, and Whkheas, unjust discriminations have been praoticed against the farmer and laboring man in favor of corporations, and the ballot has been so manipulated by politioal bosses aod rings in the in terest of the bondholders and curpora tions generally UDd the voioe of the peo ple who produce the wealth is no longer beard only as vassals and slaves to the political bosses, and Whekeas, there has been several re form organizations having in view es sentially the same object, that is the correction of the ballot box and in our law making departments, the above and many other orjing evils which ore en dangering the very existence of our free institutions. Therefore we, the mem bers of Umatilla County Alliunoe, for the love of our homes and country, do propose to join in with the general up rising of Americans which is taking place all over our land to preserve iu- tuot our free institutions, and to this end be it resolved: 1. We demand the abolition of na tional banks; we demand that the gov ernment sbull establish Bub-treasuries or depositories in the Beveral states which shall issue money direot to the people at a low ruto of tax not to exceed 2 per cont. per nnnuni on non- perishable farm products and olso upon real estate, with proper limitations upon the quality of land and amount ol money ; we demand that the amount of the circulating medium be speedily in creased to not less than $50 per capita. 2. We demand that congress shall pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the deuling in futures on all agricultural and meohuuical productions, preserving a stringent system of procedure in trials such as shall Beoure the prompt convio tion and imposition of such penalties as shall SHOure the most perfect compliance with the law. 3. We cundemn the silver bill recent) passed by congress, and demand in lieu thereof the free and unlimited coinage ol silver; the coin to be a legal tender foi all debts, public and privnte. 4. We demand the passage of lawf prohibiting alieu ownership of laud, and that congress take prompt action to do vise some plan to obtain nil lauds non ow ned by uliens and foreign syndicates, and that all lauds now held by railroade and other corporations in excess of such as is actually used and needed by then be reclaimed by the government and held for actual Bettlers onlv 5. Behoving in the doctrine of equu rights to all and special privileges I none, we demand that our national legis lation shall be so framed in the future as not to build up one industry at the expense of another. We further demand a removal of the existing heavy turilTtux from the necessaries of life that the poo of our laud must have. We further de mand a just and equitable ByBtem graduated tax believe that the try should be kept as much ns possible in the bunds of the people, aud hence wt demand that all national and state rev enues shall be limited to the necessary expciiBCB of tho government eoeuomi ou 1 1 y and honestly administered, 0.

The experienced huntsman in the woods never wastes time looking for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer Creek, nor would he hope to shoot any great number of ducks on Duck Lake, for his experience has taught him that such points are always misnamed, and this lesson holds good with almost everything in life. For instance, in the case of the brands on articles of food, spices and other ground food products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly pure" or "absolutely pure," are without exception the most villainously adulterated. 'T is the wolf in sheep's clothing always. The most brazen case is that of the Royal Baking Powder. This article is branded and paraded before the people as "absolutely pure" when it contains ammonia. You can smell it in the can and often in the biscuit while hot. What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she knew it ? They not only destroy the stomach, but ammonia will destroy the complexion. Not so with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the only pure cream tartar powder to be obtained, and the only baking powder made by a physician. Dr. Price has devoted a life-time to perfecting this old-fashioned, in dispensable article of the culinary art that has stood all the tests and remained the standard for forty years.
