Do you remember the little things thai
fave us so much pleasure when we were
voting ? With what zest did we sit down to
the table after our play was over and eat the
mush and milk our mother put before us.
But as we get older it takes more to give
us pleasure. Mush and milk no longer
tastes good to us, and our digestion may be
impaired. The best advice we can give to
such a person is to tone up the stomach with
Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
ts nature's most valuable and health-giving'
agent made without the use of alcohol. It
contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the
concentration of nature's vitality as found
in the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks well for it because
it was given to the public by Dr. K. V.
Tierce, founder cf the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold by
druggists in ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en
joy a large sale for a few years, then disap
pear from the public attention, but Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such a reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of
several generations in a family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, so that every
bottle bears the stamp of public approval.
Every other blood-maker and tonic for the
stomach that we know of contains alcohol,
bnt Dr. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol
is contained in his "Medical Discovery."
Oregon stood at the head of the list in

"But the law will be enforced," de
clared Mr. Barbour. "It is looked up
on as a good law, and it is the desire of
every taxpayer that it should b? car
rid out to the letter. For enfor -ing
the exclusion act I have been freely
criticised, but the luge number o
aliens in the insane asylum and chari
table institutions in tliia state will con
vince every right-thinking citizen that
too much care cannot be exercised in
nroventinc the state from becoming
flooded with a feeble-minded and dis
eased foreign population.
"Sailors coming into this port from
other countries will not. be permitted to
gain admission, if I can prevent it, un

raen'al condition. During past years I
have no doubt 'hat the foreign shipB are
responsib'e for the big per cent of the
unfortunate aliens who are now a bur

Secretary Hay Secures Pledges
From All Powers.
Washfagton, Jan. 19. Secretary Hay
lias secured posi ive assurances from
the powers that there shall be no at
tempt trade upon the inte?rity of
Chinese territory. Recently it was re'
ported that soma of the powers con'
templated extending the territorial pos
sessions they already bad in China, at
the conclusion rt the war, in order to
maintain what they called the balance
ef power in the East, asserting that tbe
outcome of the war would be a read
justment of Chinese territorial boun
daries. A circular no e was dispatched
by Secretary Hay to the powers, based
tn this information, with tbe result that
they have now all positively disclaimed
any sacb intention.
In a long cablegram received at tbe
State Department today from tbe
American Embassy at Paris, the French
government reiterates its position and
assurances in lavor of preservation of
China's administrative entity and ter
ritorial integrity. This practically com
pletes the auswers from all tbe powers
to Secretary Hay's latest note.
The American Government was
prompted to take this action by certain
reports from its embassies and legation
abroad that the powers were expecting
to divide China among themselves after
the war. The inquiry of Secretaay Hay
has checked whatever scheme there
was on foot and the powers are once
again down in blsck and white pledged
to assist in the maintenance of China's
territorial and political integrity, all of
them haying given favo-able replies to
Jhe American note.
The Portland & San Francisco Steam
ship Company's steams' ip the Geo. W.

Columbia abmt half a mile south of
Gob'e Saturday night at 10:50 o'clock
and is now p'voted on tbe edge ot a
reef with the bow hanging over 16
fathoms of water, while the stern points
toward the shore a d rests in from oDe
to six f A'honis. A terrible hole is torn
through tbe bottom just a little forward
of midship rn the port ide, and th
water is 15 or 16 feet deep in the boat'
hold, covering the gratngs over the
engines lo within four feet of the main
deck.
Tbe vessel had a miscellaneous cargo
oi 1100 tooB aboard, which consisted of
wheat acd oats, flour, crackers, tallow
lard and a large consignment of news
paper from the Oregon City Mills.
Most of this will be a total loss, as it is
all covered by the water, the depth of
which varies as the tide rises and falls
The cargo, exclusive of the grain and
flour, was insured at $20,000 by tbe
company, and it is estimated that tbe
flour and grain was covered by practic
ally as much more insusance by the
shippers, no that the total insurance on
the cargo is in the neighborhood of 830,
000 or 850,000, while it is estimated at
the Portland office that the vessel was
worth close to 8150,000.

Aliens Are State Charges.
From the annual report of the commissioner-general
of immigration which
as just been issued, it is learned that
27 per cent of the inmates of tbe insane
and charitable institutions of Oregon
are aliens. Montana with 42 per cent,
and Nevada with 31 per cent, are tbe
only states in the Union that make a
more discreditable showing than Ore
gon. Arkansas and Oklahoma, with
eoly 6 per cent placed opposite their
names, are the lowest on the list.
Tennessee and Alabama have only 8
per cent, each, while Virginia and West
Virginia are burdened with but I per
cent apiece.
In the face of these astounding
figures, Immigration Inspector Barbour

When these had been robbed the
bandits stopped the train and jumped
off, disappearing into the heavy under
growth along the sides of the gulch un
der the East Twenty-Eighth street
bridge.
Word was sent to the city and county
authorities who went at once to the
bridge, and quickly organized a popse
which started to search for the thieves
Later reports say that two men pass
ed into the sleeper while the other two
relieved the occupants of tbe smoker of
their jewelry, $150 in money and a
draft for $750. The oocupants of the
smoker were Ben L. Norden, Dan J
Coman, Edward Duffy, all of Portland ;
R. B. Sinnot, of The Dalles, and J. D.
Nicholson, of Chicago.
Thettfo which went into the main
part of the car met the Pullman con-
iuctor, John Hayes, whom they re
lieved of 875 in money and forced him
to go into the smokiDg compartment
with the other victims.
The robbers did not molest the other
passengers on the car, probably because
their nerve failed them. Instead,
stopping the train, they jumped off, and
after firing a few shots for the purpone
ot intimidation, disappeared into the
heavy undergrowth.

Editor Gazette:
The people of the Columbia ba&in
should exert their utmost endeavors to
procure the aid of the United States
government for tbe permanent opening
of the Columbia river to navigation
from Celilo to The Dalies, so that the
products of this great inland empire
could have an open water-way to the
sea. Them is no transportation half so
cheap for tbe produce as a great open
water-wny, which the Columbia would
so provide if these obstructions were
removed. There is only one great
water-' a in the United Mates that
drains a greater area of territory than
the Columbia and its tributaries.
While all other section f th- Unel
States have at this time adequate ship
ping facilities, a great portion of tbe
Columbia basin is restricted to one in
adequate railroad line that holds all
out-going and in-coming freight at an
unreasonable high rate; compelling the
producer and tbe consumer of this vast
territory to pay exorbient rates for
everything that goes over its lines,
costing in most instances more to ship
freight from one to two hundred miles
over these roads than to ship the same
freight ccross tbe continent, where
there is competition. There ought
surelv to be some relief possible, seeing
that the legislature of these affected
states, and especially Oregon, has
given up trying to put any restriction
on the railroads. Some years ago the
state supported a railroad commission
until it became a mere farce. The com
mission riding on the different com
panies lines in their special ca put
them in a poor position to trv to exact
any reduction on railroad fares for the
relief or their constituents, consequently
the law was repealed. Since which
time the companies have their own way
about freight and especially on feederB
to the main line. We are particularly
at their mercy. A short time since I
was in Portland and knowing that we
had to pay high prices for stock salt, an
article I chanced to be in need of, I in
quired of a wholesale dealer the price
of such salt and was informed that it
was $5 per ton. I asked him to asser-
tain the freight per ton to Heppner, and
was informed that in any less quantities
than carload lots it was G6 cents per
cwt. or $13 per ton. It seemed to me
that under such circumstance it is
about time that the people begin to
wake up to their interests. Talk about
your good country, I don't believe there
is an agricultural and commercial center
n the land that produces and ships so
much as Morrow county, that has to
pay the exorbient freight rates that she
oes, and still her people do reason-
bly well. Wouldn't it seem that our
county officials in the face of such treat
ment to our people would hold out
against such corporations and make
them pay a just tax as individuals not
near so ntile have to do? But those in
highest positions in our county ride
over the companies lines on a pnss
and turn a deaf ear to the wants and
necessities of the people. Who are we
to look for relief ?
