BPSHUB, Astoria, Or, !B?4 JWte THE BRINK OF THE PRECIPICE Tho Slight Step That Has ProTt? Fatal to so Many Hen and Women.' ' Recently Senator Pike of New Hampshire, while talking with a friend suddenly threw up his head, gasped, and without a" word fell to the ground dead. General McClellan went out for a drive, came home and died in his -chair. William H. Van derbilt is conversing with "Mr. Gar rett of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road in his own house, and suddenly falls to the floor, dead. A prominent citizen of Boston hast ens to catch a train at the depot, and dies before the train leaves the station. A well known society lady fell dead. of Hartford, while dancing at a reception suddenly becomes faint, and before she can be conveyed from the room has ceased to breathe. These are a few of the sudden deaths of which we hear, but the vast number of which we do not hear is thousands. Are they all caused by heart disease? Do the mysterious beatings of that delicate instrument, that works day and night without ceasing, 6top of their own aecord, and thus bring death at once ! - Mr. Henry T.Dodge resides atEsst Providence, R. I. About six months ago he felt a shortness of breath, a peculiar faintness, and occasional shooting pains at his heart. He noticed that his 1 ulse was irregular and would once in a while skip a beat. These aymptpms were not continuous, and some days h e would feel as well as usual, but at other times he would be painfully aware that he had a heart and the doctor's call. that it was diseased. Finally his body began to bloat, nd he cousulted a number of doctors. They all pro nounced his trouble fceart disease,' but would not prescribe for him. be cause they said it was beyond their reach. Mr. Dodge then went to Dr. George D. Wilcor, one of the best pby- sicians in New England . After a care ful examination Dr. Wixcox told htm there was but one thing that could cure him, and to try that as a last re-, sort. With but little hope Mr. Dodge" censented: In two days the bloating disappeared, the pain departed, the pulse became full and regular, and Mr. Dodge is well and in perfect health to-day because Hunt's Remedy saved him. Dr. Wilcox, in conversation with the writer on this subject, said: "In a careful observation extending over twenty years I have found Hunt's Remedy in vast numbers of cases of an organic nature exceedingly effi cient and acting Yerv promptly. Its power is best illus trated in valvular heart lesions with dropsy, also in sim ple enlargement of the heart without valvular disease. When the heart be comes weakened and unable to cir culate the blood, Hunt's Remedy is so valuable that I one out of five, have been in the habit of naming it " Heart Tonic." This is what one of the ablest phy sicians in this country says about this wonderful remedy, which has won its way to such popularity solely on its merits. One out of every five men. women and children has functional disease of the heart, and one out of every eight organic disease of the heart 1 This is a terrible fact, but a solemn fact, nevertheless, and it is cause for gratitude that a remedy has been found which will not only check the disease in time, but prevent its increase after the first symptoms are observed. n "A word to the wise is sufficient."

IK THE STSKCi'O, About 730 P. sl there was an infor mal meeting of the members of the convention at Odd Fellows' hall to listen to a few remarks from senators Dolph'and Mitchell, and congress man Hermann. President R L. Smith introduced senator Dolph, who said he had de sired to be present at the delibera tions of the waterway convention; had been visiting different parts of the state, looking at the progress of the public works and had been great ly pleased at the general evidence of prosperity. Eastern Oregon shows rapid development, large numbers of people are daily coming into the com monwealth in search of homes. He thought that in five years eastern Or egon would double its population, and the Willamette valley woujdhave 250,000 inhabitants. The great present need is cheap transportatien: that, rightly man aged, insures the comforts of civiliza tion, and cheap transportation is the prime necessity of the advancing wave of development all over the country. Legislation nor railroad competition could not afford reqr-ed relief from onerous freights and -fares. Water competition will regulate the cost of transportation by rail. Experience proved the truth of this. A free river from the British Co lumbia line to the sea would produce water rates on transportation, wheth er carried on the river or the rail. His interest in a free river was best evinced by the zeal he had displayed in urging on the senate the needs of our great river that commerce might float upon its waters to the sea. Time and again he had urgei the claims of the river, to have the lower and upper obstructions removed. Judging from the present rate of progress it would require so long to have the work done under such gov ernment appropriations as are usually accorded, that some such Bcheme as a boat railroad would deserve to have its merits discussed as applying to a solution of the present transportation problem in the upper Columbia. Regarding the matter of appropria tions the senator showed that the government appropriations for river and harbors for many years were very meager. The first appropriation was in 1822, for 822,700. Up to 1836, no- appropriation inll'had reached one million'dollara. Up to 'G7, the aggre gate amount of all government ap propriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors wax 816,110,334. Up to '82, it aggregated 8111,299, 46179. Appropriations are generally based on the figures furnished by tne local engineers. Such an organization as the waterway convention could be of considerable aid in the matter of ap propriations by compiling statistics that would be of value to the Ioeil engineers in determining the est mute required for the work in baud. Senator Dolplfclosed amid heutty applause, and was followed by sena tor John H. Mitohell, who said that he was here in response to an invita tion from the waterway convontion and could say that any suggestions made by the convention would be of value to Oregon's congressional dele gation. Oregon, for obvious reasons, is a difficult state to represent A large part of it asks for government appro priations, meritorious in themselves, but hard to satisfy, by the small con gressional delegation that Oregon is entitled to send to the national cap ital. Since his olection in 1872, to the senate, he had done all in his power to insure and Becnre adequate appropriations for the proper carry- in? on of government works at the Cascades, and elsewhere where neces sary in the state. He entered into reminiscences of his early efforts to have necessary government work begun for the rivers and har bors of Oregon, and was glad to have aided in the partial success that had been achieved in the matter of granting to Oregon hat is hers by right All that could be done would, undoubtedly, be done by the state congressional delegation to have the work continued, and in their behalf he invoked the aid and co-operation of every commercial body in every community in the great country, drained by the Columbia river and its tributaries. The immense possibilities of the in land empire he illustrated by citing the faot that in Umatilla county, where, in 1875 there were not 100,000 bushels of wheat grown, would, this year, raise about "5,000,000 bushels. The great wheat fields of the inland empire needed an outlet to the sea for the vast crops to be moved, and proper and. adequate appropriations for the mouth of. 'the Columbia were demanded and made necessary by existing facts. The senator favored the idea of a ship railroad and argued its feasibil ity, thinking that it at least merited having the experiment tried, this re gardless of any prejudice or disfavor on the part of the civil engineer corps. Senator Mitohell closed amid consid erable applause. Hon. "Bin ere r Hermann, our repre sentative in the house of representa iives at Washington, was the next speaker. He lad" no 'set speeoh to make and the lateness pi the hour precluded any extended remarks, and would only appear as a representative of the people of, Oregon to hear what instructions or 'advice 'the waterway conventidrrhad to'Jtet&it flight be need by him to advantage in the cap ital of the nation. Backed by the motal power of the people speaking through sucn as3emDiies as tne present, the congressional delegation from Oregon would be greatly aided in efforts to secure necessary legisla tion for this far west commonwealth. In the senate, Oregon is the co equal of New York or Pennsylvania, but in the house Oregon stands to New York as one to thirty four, which illustrates the meager numerical influence Oregon necessa rily has. He thought that the result of the deliberations of the conven tion should be furnished the com mittee on rivers and harbors and practical suggestions made to reach the members of that committee. Some obiect lessons, some practical "showings, some tangible proofs, some accurate statistics lurnisueu iuui committee, would be productive of great good. All the facts and figures that the truth would warrant should be made easy of access. Congressman Hermann made allu sion to the increasing frequency of visits of congressmen from various states to this northwest coast, and suggested that the pleasanter those visits were made, the more .mutually satisfactory it would be to all con cerned. Regarding the construction of a boat railway around the Dalles, he thought that if this convention should endorse ihe idea, it should be partic ularly emphasized that the work be considered but as a temporary expe dient, and rendered imperatively nec essary by the tardy aotion of the gen eral government in providing money for the great work of clearing away the obstructions at the Dalles and the Cascades. That might even be an inducement to urge congress to more just liberality in this regard. Gen. Duano thought such a scheme as the boat railway around the port age at the Dalles should be submitted to government engineers, and the house acted on the suggestion. This convention might, with propriety, me morialize congress to have an appro priation applicable to survey and act ual beginning of work with a vinw to the speedy building of aboat railway. He closed hi3 remarks by pledgiug himself in the future as in the past to make all possible effort in further ance of the great movement to secure proper improvement of the water ways 01 uregon, ana ciosea nmia lonu an Iplause. - 3f .
