And now itas ForTTTlao-iatk that is
to be abandoned. The departure of
the Fort,Xlamath garrison is sot down
for the first of April a very appropri

The East Oregonian thinks that
in Oregon "a majority of the prohibi

The Eajst Oregonian always,was fond

.-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."

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.
