CT to Satin &Miw. ASTOKIA, OREGON: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10. 1883. WATERWAY ASSOCIATION. The fifth aunu'al convention of the Columbia -waterway association "will bo held at Portland in just a month. The purposes and object of the asso ciation have been advocated in these columns so often that it is only neces sary to here state that Astoria fol lows the usual course of sending a del egation to the nest meeting prepared to co-operate with any and all meas ures looking toward the fruition of the motto of the associatien: "an open river." While the realization of this hope is of interest and value to the entire Co lumbia basin, it is of transcendent im portance to Astoria. So far as Astoria is concerned, the earning meeting of the association is most opportune. Now that railroad connection is assured, an open river assumes a new phase: the coming en trance of Washington and Montana into the Union gives four more sena tors and at least two more representa tives to plead the cause of the Colum bia river improvements in the capitoL The excellent progress made at the mouth of the river this season justifies the asking of adequate appropriation for the speedy completion of that great work. There is one part of the Columbia improvement that lags the work at The Dalles, Celilo, the Cascades what is styled the "upper river im provement" The Columbia waterway associa tion has considerable influence. Let it swing that influence in securing a change in the administration of gov ernmental affairs in the upper Co lumbia. That is the one vital point of weakness in the existing situation to-day. Whether intentionally, or on pur pose, that" work lags, it always has lagged, and always will till the close of the century unless the powers that be are stirred up. The Astorian suggests consider able stirring up. WTe all know what we want, and are not at all bashful or backward in walking up and askin g for what is our due. Slow poking people got a stirring up at the '87 convention of the asso ciation in this city that did abundant good, as the last two years show. A little wholesome agitation is in order. The following, from a Nevada ex change shows that that state is fast going to the degs: A somnambulistic miner in the Ho mer district, nightly at midnight leaves his cabin and returns in a few hours with a sack of ore worth S10 per pound. The somnambulist has been watched, but he is so agile in climb ing steep mountain sides that no one has, so far, been able to track him to the spot where he gets the rich ore. He has accumulated above $-,000 in gold mortared out of ore secured in his somnambulistic rambles. Time was when that "somnambu list" would be waked up in mighty short order. The old Silver state is evidently petering out when such go ings on are allowed. ADVICE FROM BELOW STAIRS. "Bridget, I would give all my wealth for half of your health." "Sure, ma'am, you need only give ?5, for that's the price of six bottles of 'J. V. S.,' as the boys call it Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla will make you as strong a3 me, ma'am." Mrs. J. Barron, of 142 Seventh street, San Francisco, writes: "I have been taking Joy'a Vegetable Sarsaparilla with immense benefit, It is perfectly splendid to build up nervou3, run-down and worn out women." Mrs. Fred Loy, of 327 Ellis street, Mrs. G. Werner of 235, Berry street, and hundreds of others relate the same experience with the pure vegetable Juices cf this California compound.

It purifies the blood, and at the same time tones the stomach, creates an appetite, and gives strength to every func tion of the body. Give It a trial. General Debility "For four years my wife suffered with large tumor bunches on the glands under the arms, and general debility of the whole system. She became so poor In health that we were on the verge of despair regarding her recovery. Physicians did not seem to understand her case; at all events she never derived any benefit from their treatment. She finally concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. The immediate effect was so marked and satisfactory that she continued to take it, and this is the result: She has gained in weight From 84 to IK Pounds and is stronger and in better health than she has been for years. The bunches under her arras have diminished, and we believe Hood's Sarsaparilla will bo too much for them in time." J. J. Nobcross, 22C Com mercial Street, Boston, Mass.
