Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health, and happiness to the
dyspeptic. ABk your druggist for a

Section 2, of ordinance 212. says
there shall be an election annually
on the second Monday in August for
chief engineer of the Astoria fire de
partment and two assistants, and that
the election shall be called by a news
paper notice ten days beiorenana.
This year the prescribed notice was
not given, which, it is thought,
would invalidate the election, were
any held next Monday, the 8th, the
day set by the ordinance. As the
present incumbent wiU, doubtless, bo
re-elected anyhow, the omission will
not be likely to occasion any trouble,
except as to, the matter of electing
first and second assistants, should
different candidates from those now
occupying those positions be chosen,
and even in that case, the matter can
bo very easily aud harmoniously ad
justed.

The committee on memorial and
resolutions submitted the following
MEMOMA.L.
To the Honorable, the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States.
Your memorialists, the Columbia water
way association, a body composed of del
egates from the various boards of trade,
and kindred organizations of the cities,
towns and counties ot ttio stato ot Ore
gon and territory ot Washington, ulon"
the great valley or the Columbia river,
at its third annual convention, would
again most respectfully call your atten
tion to the increasing necessity for an
early completion of the canal and locks
at tne cascades in said river, xno great
importance, indeed, the absoluto necessi
ty, of that improvement has been here
tofore represented to you by this associa
tion, and it is also clearly and fully
stated in the report of the senate com
mittee en transportation routes to the
seaboard, at the second session of the
49th congress (Kcport No. 1,773), and the
ficts therein stated we most respectfully
reiterate and recall to your attention.
As shown by that report, the Columbia
river drains an area of 215,000 square
miles, and the wheat traffic alone along
the Columbia river at the time of the in
vestigations of that committee was over
20,000,000 bushels per year, and the traffic
for the present year will, in the judg
ment of your memorialists, be fully one
third greater. In addition to the wheat
traffic should be considered tho large
quantities of wool, the products of the
mines, the stock ranges and other indus
tries of this vast region, which is so rap
idly developing, the only outlet for which
is by way of the Columbia river. And
until such time as the natural obstruc
tions to the free navigation of that river,
at the Cascades and The Dalles, shall be
overcome, the producers of this fertile
and productive region must remain
wholly at the mercy of the railroad cor
poration which parallels tho river and
exacts n toll for freight transportation
which approaches prohibition of produc
tion, and must not only retard tho set
tlement and development of this impor
tant region but continually depress the
industries now there in progress.
"We therefore most earnestly represent
to yoar honorable body the great impor
tance of pushing the' work of oonstructinp
the canal and looks to a speedy termin .
tion, and, in tho opinion of your memo,
rialists, not only does the increasing de
mand for these and the other improvb
ments herein referred to require that
appropriations commensurate with the
importance of the work and sufficient to
carrv them forward uninterruptedly
should bo made but economy also dictates
such a policy.
We would further represent, in order
to make the river freofor navigation and
to enable the producers to enjoy tho ben
efits of the construction of the canal and
locks at the Cascades, it is necessary
that a canal or boat railway should be
constructed at The Dalles and Celilo
Falls, and it is tho opinion of your me
morialists that the most feasible plan for
this improvement is a boat railway, and
we most earnestly request that a suffi
cient sum to make surveys with the
view of constructing Buch works be im
mediately made by congress.
"What we have said of tho importance
of the above improvements applies also
to the work already begun by congress
for the improvement of the entrance to
said river, as it is necessary to have a safe
and secure entrance to this river which
is the natural outlet and highway for a
commerce aireaay great anu uesunea 10
assume immeasurably greater propor
tions, lor the cost ot transportation m
1 vessels depends on the size of the vessels
that can enter the harbor, and the rate
J of insurance, which greatly depends on
the saietv ot the entrance.
We therefore earnestly represent the
importance of carrying the work for
ward without interruption in accordance
with the adopted plans.
Your memorialists further pray that
more adequate appropriations bel made
for the purpose of keeping an open river
between Portland and the sea, os hereto
fore, by reason of tho insufficient appro
priations for that purpose, the'citizenB
of Portland 4iave been compelled to raise
largeaums by private subscriptions, to
carry on the work.

On motion the report was adopted
by the convention.
The following resolutions were
passed:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
association are due to the members
of the senate and honse of represen
tatives of the last session of congress
who favored the appropriations for
the rivers and harbors of the north
west contained in the river and har
bor bill of that session, nud that it
was with sincere regret that we
learned of the failure of the bill to
become a law.
Resolved, That the thanks of this
association are especially due to our
senators and representative in con
gress from Oregon aud delegates
from Washington aud Idaho for their
earnest, able and untiring efforts to
secure appropriations for the im
provement of the rivers and harbors
of the northwest.
Resolved, That the president, sec
retary and treasurer of this conven
tion be continued until their success
ors are elected, and that they be aud
are hereby constituted ex officio
members of the executive committeo.
Resolved, That tho executive com
mittee be requested to endeavor to
secure the sumof S2,000for tBe purpose
of collecting statistics and securing
a complete description of the value
of the Droduce, wheat, wool, ore3.
lumber, aud other products of the
territory tributary to the Columbia,
and the executive committee ue au
thorized to employ n competent sta
tistician to travel and secure this in
formation. Resolved, That the executive com
mittee may appoint suitable persons
and they be authorized to solicit hon
orary membership in accordance with
article four of the constitution, and
that said committee, with the secre
tary, procure suitable lithographic
certificates and an appropriate seal.
.lesolved. That the following words
be added to article of the consti-J
tution, 4,and that the names of all
honorary members be printed in each
published report of ibis association.''
On motion, a judiciary committee
of five was appointed, as follews: C.
H. Page, Astoria, chairman; W. B.
Daniels, Vancouver; B. Killin, Port
land; B. S. Hnntington, The Dalles;
W. H. Upton, Portland.
The following resolution was
passed:
Resolved, That this convention re
spectfully calls the attention of con
gress to the fact that by reason of
the condition of the bar at the mouth
of the Columbia river, nine-tenths of
the foreign exports from the region
drained by the Columbia aud its trib
utaries are carried under foreign
flags, to the detriment of the Ameri
can shipbuilding industry and the
serious hampering of the. develop
ment of this region, and this can
largely be remedied by completing
the works now in progress for deep
ening the entrance to tho river, as
the foreign vessels aro ot light
draft, while the American vessels, on
account of their greater draft, being
usually in excess ot 22 feet, are vir
tually prohibited from entering the
river, thus Imposing a direct tax on
the half million tons of grain now
ready for shipment ont of said river,
as by reason of the said conditions
the cost of freight and insurance nre
largely increased.
On motion it was ordered that
2,500 copies of tho reports of the
proceedings ot the convention be
printed.
On motion it was decided that tho
next meeting of the association be
held in Portland during the October
session of the Mechanics' Fair iu
Portland in 1SSS.
On motion a copy of tho proceed
ings of the convention was ordered
sent to each of the members of the
committee on rivers and hrbor3.

vention was cordially voted the As
