The departure of the Fort,Xlamath garrison is sot down for the first of April a very appropri ate date. The East Oregonian thinks that in Oregon "a majority of the prohibi tionists are or have been Democrats." The Eajst Oregonian always,was fond ol aoki' C "iy ' .-rj-ncxLEboom for Gen. Sheridan for president is feebly booming. If the hero of Winchester will put those troop3 back with twd "companies more at Fort Canby, wevill give his claim to the "White House careful considera tion. The United States supreme court's decision in the "drive-well case," ap pealed from Iowa, declaring that the claims of the alleged patentee are not well founded, is a victory for thou sands of farmers and other people who have for years been annoyed and blackmailed. The supreme court's decision is final, and the owners of drive-wells may now comfort them selves by the knowledge that their an noyances are at an end. - """" Edison says that ho has perfected his phonograph. His great success and marvelous ingenuity entitles his assertion to almost implicit belief. If this invention prove a -practical success it will be the most wonderful of his many mighty achievements in the line of mechanical progress. An instrument that will correctly retain and exactly reproduce the voice, tones and words of a speaker savora of the impossible, and if put into successful operation will effect a revolution in reproduction of oral utterances.

A LETTER FflOH J. C. ROSS. Under date of the 16th inst., J. C. Bobs writes to The Astobian from Alameda, CaL, where he is located and is doing well. Among other things he says: The real estate boom that was bo hot in August has cooled but the prices are up in the tree tops yet, the rains may wash them down when they come, that is if we get any rain, there does not seem to be any signs yet, the weather is vey fine, it has not rained any since I came here." "I met a man the other day, lately from the east, who had come out to lios Angeles and bought 300 acres of land, paying $275 per acre. It is about 20 miles from Los Angelos, then he came to San FranciBco and vicin ity, and now he is kicking him self a 11 around here for investing all of his money there, he says he made a great mistake by not coming up here before buying. He sas that there are over 1,200 real estate agents in the city of Los Angeloa. There hai? several men from different parts of the east located here since I came here, and the prospects for Alameda are very good. We have two railroads running through the city, giving us quick and cheap con nection with San Francisco and Oak land, fiom 5 a. m. to 1230 P. si., every fifteen minutes from G a. m. to 11 a. m., and from 3 p. M. to 7 p. jr.. and every thirty minutes the balance of the time; S3 for a commutation ticket which entitles you to make a round trip to San Francisco eveiy day, or 25 cents for a single round trip ticket, or 15 cents for a single fare one way. The time consumed in making the run from Park street to the foot of Market street, San Fraucisco, is 37 minutes; 10 minutes from here to Oakland, fare 5 cents. There is also a horse-car line from hereto Oakland; fare, 5 cents; time, 45 minutes; dis tance. 4c miles to Oakland; 14 to San Francisco." THE IVOTKD AMERICAN ACTOR, Mr, KQBAGE LEWIS ASSISTED BY -MR.

A fciit Ganmta- nov TO DO IT. He who scorches h i s finger kmma or ought to know, that by holdingitnear fire or flame the greater heat of the latter, acting b3 attraction, draws out the minor heat in Ihe finger and the pain ceases. Tiiis is, &owcer. cruel treatment, and is only referred to in explanation of a principle. No one wouM be so foolish as to expose a large barn to such a process, as the re mit would be pain intolerable. It is said Sbat a burn or scald in ertent the siza of one-third the surface of the human body Is incurable, for the reason that the vital forces exhaust themselves in trying to rebuild or renew what has been destroyed ov the burn. Nature hates any disturb ance to the harmony of is action, and in .t3 strode to overcome such an injury, overpowers itself. The excessive heat, inhaled or absorbed, weakens the vitals and nature has not sufficient strength to go into battle. These are important tilings to know, for it is only on true principles that nature is helped in its struggle, and only through ignorance that suffering is intensified or proes fatal where it could be relieved. Scores of jcopIe daily brought in con tact with heat, steam, boiling w.itcr and combustibles are hourly injured by some mishap in the nature of a burn or scald, and thousands have been cured of such bv the bes' known remedy for the cure oi pain. The principle of how it works explains itself after what has been said. It act as a counter-irritant on the surface injured, gently drawing 'out the heat caused by the burn, while it soothes the pain, helping nature in the healing pro cess, and a cure follows. It is a specific for pains of this kind and should be kept handy where tire and steam are used. Hut as a precaution to its use where serious burns or scalds occur, and that suflering may not be intensified through ignorance, read carefully directions for the bse of St. J ucob'hUd accompanying . cry ucttle. u tfl r 00 rr- (3D 00 s2 AGENCY- OF SAX FRANCISCO.
