An open river to the sea is of pe culiar significance to the people of the Inland Empire, and The Dalles and vicinity will soon enjoy this privilege. At the head of naviga lion, with a large region of the in terior country to it, an open river to the sea means that The Dalles will be an ocean-competitive point the same as Portland or Astoria, says The Dalles Times Mountain eerv -' ;. " Tma long-delayed dream is soon to be realized, and then this city will possess facilities for handling the produce of , Eastern Oregon above anv other point east of the Cascade mountains. A fleet of boats from Astoria and Portland will plow the waters of the Colum bia, and load and unload their wealth of exports and imports at our -wharves, Wheat and wool will seek shipment from this point to the market of the world, and The Dalles will no longer be an interior town, but one of touch and sympathy with the seaports of the world. This open river to the sea, which has been considered a delus- ve dream, is nearing relization, and before 1896 if printed on the calendar the great canal and locks at the Cascades will be open to the navigation of the people and the Columbia will flow unvexed to the ocean, The Dalles and vicinity will in less than a year be emanci pated from the control of railroads, and farmers and sheepmen can float their produce unimpeded in barges to tide water. An open riv er means commercial liberation for an empire, and The Dalleb, be ing at the head of navigation, will reap every advantage to be derived therefrom. Oregon Press Association. The Oregon Press Association has become of great benefit to the press of Oregon, and the annual meetings are looked forward to with pleasure. The locality that is fortunate enough to secure the an nual meeting is the gainer in many ways. Recognizing the great value to this state of an open Columbia river, the last four sessions have been held at such places as would bring that question preminently before the newspaper fraternity, This year the importance of the harbor at Yaquina bay was consid ered, and, therefore, some time in August every member who can spare a few days from his labor will journey to Yaquina and endeavor to make the eight annual meeting of the Oregon Press Association the most prosperous one in its history. I have two little girl children who are teething this hot summer weather and are troubled with bowel complaint. I give them Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and it nets like a charm. I earnestly recommend it for children with bowel troubles. I was myself taken with a severe attack of bloody flux, with cramps and pains in my stomach, one third of a bottle of this remedy cured me. Within twenty-four hours I was out of bed and doing my house work. Mrs. W, L. Dun- agan, Bon-aqua, Hickman Co., Tenn. . For sale by Osburn. Mr. W. F. Hubbard, euperinten ter.dent of the government hatch ery on the Clackamas, has been in structed by the United States fish commissioner to proceed to Idaho and visit the upper and lower Sal mon falls on the Snake river, and to Weiser and Bliss with the ob securing salmon eggs to supply the Clackamas hatchery. He will have to arrange for securing theeggs and also for gome temporary hatching apparatus to care, for them until they are about eighteen days old, as the epgs will not bear transpor tation until the eyes show. Then they will be packed in moss and ice and taken down to the Clack amas hatchery to be hatched out and kept until the proper size to be turned into the riverp. McNeill's Splendid Management. Says the Evening Telegram: To Receiver McNeill's splendid man- agement may justly be attributed the condition Which warrant the prediction that the 0. R. & N sys tem will soon be freed from the burden of maintaining a receiver ship. In a remarkable short time, and with a surprising absence of friction, he has extracted the sys tem from the damaging complica tions into which it was involved by its connection with the Union Pa cific, and has thoroughly demon strated his ability to make it a paying property, if it is not already earning more than its operating I expenses. Major McNeill's skill ful work as receiver assures bis re tention as manager of the 0. R. & N. when it is released from the court's control. Hemlock for Pulp. A contract for 6,000,000 feet of hemlock, to be used in the manu facture of paper, has been let to Earties within the last week, on ower Columbia. It is claimed that hemlock makes a superior quality of pulp.owing to the white ness of the hber and freedom from pitch. As green hemlock is ex- ceedinelv heavV and will, until seasoned, sink when placedin the water, this feature will necessitate all hemlock- contracts to be placed in plenty of time. Hemlock hith erto considered worthless for any purpose will now take rank with Cottonwood or spruce as a . pulp material. Millions of feet of hem lock are easily obtained in that section. While in Topeka last March, E. T. Barber, a prominent newspaper man of La Cygne, Kan., was taken with cholera morbus very severely. The night clerk at the hotel where he was stopping happened to have a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Kemedy and gave him three doses which reliev ed him and he thinks saved his life. Every family should keep this remedy in their home at all times. No one can tell how soon it may be needed. It costs but a trine and may be the means of sav ing much suffering and perhaps the life of some member of the family. 25 and 30 cents bottles for sale by Osburn. New Tariff on Live Stock.

A few evenings ago a veteran commercial travler from San Fran cisco was run down by an experi enced Dalles bicyclist. "Are you hurt?" Inquired a sympathetic bystander. "Hurt?" responded the drummer in a surpassed voice. "You bet I'm hurt. For twenty years I've been a resident of cities, dodging forty times a day cable care, trolley cars, runaways and locomotives, only to be knocked over in a iay town by a wobbly bicycle, ridden by a gallot to clum sy to get out of the way of a one legged tax collector. Hurt? Well I should say I am." Narrow Escape. On Tuesday the little child of C II. Northern at North Powder had a narrow escape from a frightful death. The little child was on the track behind a freight train when the train commenced backing up and knocked the child down and three cars passed over it before the train could be stopped. When the train stopped the child crawled out badly frightened but uninjured.

Senator Mitchell Gives a Bit of History Concerning Its Origin. United States Senator Mitchell from Oregon recently gave the Nat ional Geographical Society the fol lowing bit of history about the name of Oregon: There are various theories as to the origin and derivation of -the name "Oregon." Some writers de clare that it is derived from the Spanish, signifying "wild thyme." so ctlled because of the abundance of that herb found by early explor ers. Others insist that it is an Ind ian word, In use about the head waters of the Columbia, to desig nate the waters of that river and meaning the ''great river of the west." and obtained from them by Jonathan Carver, a native of Con necticut, in l66-68, who spent two years among the Indians on the upper waters of the upper Mississ ippi, now the state ot Wisconsin. Carver's accounts, however, in re ferring to many matters, are con tradictory and unreliable, though in referring to this he was quite likely right. It is more than prob able that an article published fifty three years ago, in 1842 "Hunt's Magazine" and reproduced by the historian Brown . in "his political history of Oregon, presents the cor rect solution of the question. Speak ing of Oregon territory and the dis covery of the Columbia river by Captain Gray, this article says: "The territory watered by this riv er and its tributes has since" that is since the discovery of the river "been called the Oregon territory from a tradition said to have ' pre vailed among the' Indians near Lake Superior, of the existence of a mighty rivet rising in that vicinity and emptying its waters into the Tacific, and which was supposed to be the Columbia." Uryant in his celebrated "Thanatopsis," written in 1815, refers to the Columbia riv er as the Oregon: "Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound save its own dashings," They Killed the Dogs. In a town in California the peo ple were pestered with worthless curs that howled continuously all night, keeping people awake and otherwise disturbing the peace and dignity of the community. -On p nday evening a lot of poisoned meat was scattered about which sent about fifty dogs to perdition on that night snd now the town is enjoying partial quietude again. The identity of the poisoner is no known, but many owners of dogs are mad, enougn to shoot him if found. ' Morrow County Crops.

After cross ing the Umatilla river at Nolin is seen hardly a piece of wheat that will pay for harvesting, and people are "hard up,,' with no hopes of the future. Besides grasshoppers' they have been victimized by drouth and squirrles. ' Work t the Locks. The water is eo high at the Cas cades that little work can be done uutil the river recedes to the norm al stage. One section of the s'econd gate is placed in position, and as soon as the water goes down the other gates will be erected, the re maining walls built and the upper bulkhead taken out. There can not be much doubt that in less than a year boats will pass through the canal to and from Eastern Oregon. The contractors are very much in earnest about the work, and will push it with the greatest activity as soon as the river will permit. Cattlemen vs. Sheepmen. A special from Wolcott, Colo., says advices have been received by courier from Hayden to the effect that J une 5, 800 armed cattlemen started for the Elkhead mountain country with the intention of driv ing the sheepmen out. It was rumored that sheep hearders were accompanied by 150 Pinkertons, who would resist. back to the druggist from whom he had obtained it of for two more bot tles of the same remedy. When you have a cough or cold give this preparation, a trial and like Mr. Scriven you will want it when again in need of such a medicine. It is a remedy of great worth and merit. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Osburn. :., Envious. ; "By thunder," said the new woman as she lighted her cigarette and started for the office, "I wish I had the snap Charlie has, with nothing to do but take care of the children and the house.
