When they needed truck to eat Boagbt it down on Water street fiorry bH they nmit refuse Anything but cxth to use. I sat down and wrjte 'em then: "liate to troub e you aain, But I want to thank you, sirs, For your bunch of cockle burrs.

Dr. N. G. Unlock, of Walla Walla, tbe veteran advocate of an open river, was tbe next apeaker. Dr. BlaluOk'ri address was both in structive and able. He said that while be was not a citizen of Oregoo, he was a near neighbor, and that our interests were onp. That he was here on an important mission. "Washingtou has not ch ne her part iu the development of this grea- pit of tbe northwest in the past," said the speaker. "The cau-e was from the lack of a proper KaJer. The state is now waking up to her interests and re SDonsibilites. I tefer to an oppu river. Oregon hns given 300,000 and I am ashamed that Washing tou has not given a cent," con tinued the speaker. The doctor explained that the reason that Washington had ndt given anything was on account of the constitution, but that now Washington would do her part as neighbors and citizens. Tbat a bill would be passed appropriating $300,000 for the Columbia river. Next year with three Bteam- boats on the upper river, while the business might not be great, he expected regulation of freight rates from the ocean to the Inland em pire. He said that we were pay ing a larger tribute to the rail roads than any other state io the Union. With an open river we will have the paraphernalia to regu late freight rates. As an object lesson tbe doctor quoted rates between Tbe Dalles and Portland He said that he expected to live to see the time when the rate on wheat would be only one halt what it is now. Hut we mast unit) to ac complish results. Prof. Lyman, of Walla Walla was the npxt speaker. By com parison of statistics, the speaker put in a strong plea for an open river and tbe benefits to come from united efforts on the part of Oregon and Washington. Rev. Allen, of Irrigon deliverod a bright and interesting talk on irrigation. Rev. Allen's loyalty for hts district was greatly admir ed. Rev. Allen said that be would l prefer to take the water out of the channel of the Columbia and put it on the sands, nnd it would he only a short time nntill we would have 50,000 people and open river. TheJ speeches were interspers ed with splendid music by the Eagles band. After the speeches, Secretary Willis, of the Umatilla League, stated that tbe most important part of the meeting was to come. Mr. Willis stated that tbe time had arrived for the merging of the two county leagues which was the main intent of tbe mee ing. Mr. Willis made a good business talk. G. W. Phelps moved thht a com mittee of five be appointed on resolutions. After the atpoint nient of the committee by the chair, the meeting adjourned to meet the next day at the com mercial club rooms and unite the two clubs. THIKD DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE.

The editorial page ot tbe Weekly Ore xonlan ctvaa a broad traatnMBt to a wida rano of aubjeota, The Modesty of Women Naturally makes them shrink from the Indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex aminations, and unpleasant local treat ments, which some physicians consider essential in the treatment of diseases of women. Yet, if help can bo had, It Is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble Is that so often the woman undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing. Thousands of women who have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion write In appreciation of the euro which dispenses with the examinations and local treatments. There is no other medicine so sure and safe for delicate women as "Favorite Prescription." It cures debilitating drains, irregularity and female weakness. It always helps. It almost always cures. It is strictly non alcoholic, non - secret, all its ingredients being printed on its bottle-wrapper; con tains no deleterious or habit-forming drugs, and every native medicinal root entering into its composition has the full endorsement of those most eminent in the several schools of medical practice. Some of these numerous and strongest of pro fessional endorsements of its ingredients, will bo found in a pamphlet wrapped around the bottle, also in a booklet mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, l Buffalo, N. Y. Theso professional en dorsements should have far more weight than any amount of the ordinary lay, or non-professional testimonials. The most intelligent women now-a-days insist on knowing what they take as med icine Instead of opening their mouths like a lot of young birds and gulping down whatever is offered them. "Favorite Pre scription " is Of KNOWS COMPOSITION. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. . Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser Is sentrcr on receipt of stamps to pav expense of mailing oniy. Send to Dr. It. . Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y 21 one-cent stamps for paper-covered, or 31 stamps for cloth-bound. If sick consult the Doctor, free of charge by letter. All such communications are held sacredly confidential. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets Invigorate and regulate stomach, liver and bowels. 4-S47. SlackkoMari' moating.
