' ' Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste that should be carried off remains in the body and poisons the whole system. That dull, heavy feeling is due to a torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg ulator and you'll get rid of these trou bles, and give tone to the whole sys tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is better than Pillb. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. . , Every ijfickage has the Red Z stamp""uii the wrapper. J. H.

Experience has taught the farm ers and fruit growers of Hood Riv er valley that the lands of that sec tion are more productive when ir rigated, and as a result of this ex perience two very large irrigation schemes have been inaugurated. The East Side Water . Supply . Co. and the East Fork Irrigation Co. have been consolidated under the name of the East Fork Irrigation Co. The new ; organization will commence operation . at once con structing ditches and flumes. This ditch will cover all the tillable land on the east side of the valley, and when completed will furnish suf ficient water to irrigate every farm in that section.' ' Oh the west 'side of the river pre parations are being made to con struct ar ditch-flume thdt will car ry 5000 inches of water, which is estimated to be sufficient to.irrigate from 5000 to 8C00 acres of land. To construct the necessary flumes for this immense ditch 200,000 feet of lumber will -be required, and Mr. Frank Devenport has begun erecting a mill on t the river with which to supply the lumber. When these irrigation schemes are per fected, what the producing power of Hood River valley will be is al most beyond conjecture. Already one of the garden spots of Eastern Oregon; but when 20,000 acres of such fruit land is brought under systematic irrigation that valley will undoubtedly become one of the greatest fruit producing sec tions of the world. , '. The Boat Railway. The Pendleton Tribune tells us that Colonel Eddy who was one of the few delegates to the congress who argued and voted in favor of sound money, and, although his views were not coincided with by the majority, even the silver papers paid glowing tributes to his orator ical powers. One of the great fights which Colonel Eddy made in the congress was for the boat railway at The Dalles. This proposition was vigorously fought by several members of the committee to which it had been referred, but the ex journalist of Pendleton overcome all opposition and the congress unanimously . passed a resolution favoring the appropriation by the government of a sufficient, sum to construct the boat railway. Freight Rates Slashed. ? : The Southern Pacific and 0. R. & N. Co., are at war to the hilt. The Southern Pacific proposes to back a line of Bteamers to handle freight and passenger traffic be tween Portland and San Francis co. The war is on and merchants will reap a harvest. The rates slash (.he August cut all along the line, and according to the West ern classification, are as follows: First class cut, per 100 pounds, 12J cents; second-class, 124 cents; third-class 12JJ cents; fourth-class, 124 cents; fifth-class. 10 cents; class A, 10 cents; class B, 10 cents: class C, 10 cent3; class V, 10 cent; class E, 10 cents. The minimum charge for any single shipment is to be 25 cents. AN INTERESTING LETTER. An Oregon Boy Writes From Guate mala. An Oregon boy, who is employed as a foreman in a machine shop in the city of Guatemala, Central America, gives some intersting in formation about Guatemala and Guatuimalas in a recent letter to his father who is a resident of Polk county. He says: "I have just finished my supper. I hd a steak, one egg, fried pota toes, coffee, fried bananas, butter, condensed milk, etc. I bought half a dollar's worth of potatoes the other day, and got about as many as I could hold in my hat. One good sized apple costs 124 tcents. Paid $1.50 for a can of butter. It sounds odd to say a can of butter, but it is shipped here in l ib tins and sells for a $1.50 per tin. A pintcan of peas cost 50 centi, can of condensed milk 75c; half bar of soap, 60c; pair of overalls, $2.80; 8 sheets of writing paper 12J cents. Ham costs $1.00 per pound and ara scarce at that. Cigars are the only thing cheap here, eight for a quart er. This city is a pretty valley about 45 miles from the coast, and 5.000 feet above the sea level. It is a very healthy place. They never have the yellow fever here. It rains almost every day. I have seen the water run knee deep in the streets and as swift as a mill race. If Oregon should get a shower like they have here at times, the Web footers would begin to build an ark right away. ' ? "Guatemala has quite a popula tion, and they are the queerest peo ple I have ever seen, They run a saw from them, pull a plain toward them, peel oranges with a knife and potatoes with their fingers. ; The small shops and markets are all run by women. The band plays on the piazza every Friday and Sat urday night. They have good bands, or that is what they say; but they all 6ound alike to me." He advises his friends not to come to Guatemala unless they have a trade or capital, With these helps he considers it a good place to make some money. Romance and Nausea. Lee Fairchild, the well-known humorous orator and newspaper publisher, on the last voyage of the steamship Walla Walla from San Francisco was married on the high sea3 to Miss Annie Ashim, of St. Helena, Cal., where the groom ed its the Sentinal. The couple quiet ly eloped from San Francisco, boarded the Walla Walla and when out on the ocean, prevailed upon Captain Wallace to perform the ceremony. The only explanation assigned for desiring a sea wedding was that they wanted a romantic mariage, and ' they got it. An hour after the wedding the steamer ran into rough weather, and both bride and groom became deathly seasick, and continued so for a day. The bride and groom returned south on the City of Puebla. Fair- child stumped California with Es- tee in the lastgubernational cam paign - - ' : : .... .... E. V. Smalley on the Northwest. ' "It is a great country, this North west of ours," sa'd E. V. Smalley the other day at the St. Paul im migration convention. "Why to live here has a tonic effect and enlarges a man's views of life and things. I remember when I lived in Dakota some years ago, it was said by some observing strangei that all the creeks were great riv ers, all the bunches of timber were farests, and all the men d d liars." And the delegates arose as one man and applauded as they got a flash of that boom spirit that made the Northwest what it is out of the material provided by kindly mother nature. Yet in the State. During the administration of Governor Pennoyer several con victs were pardoned on condition that they leave the state forever. The pardon convicts have not ful filled the provisions of the pardon in every instance. It is understood one of this class is now. living with in the state. It is probable that the department of justice will take upthecase of this individual, which will bring up the question of the right of the governor to pardon on such conditions, or the power of the state to enforce them. Work Has Commenced. WJrk has commenced in earnest on the Grande Ronde river mines. A saw mill was taken up last week, and the electric light plant, which is to be used for lighting several miles of the river is being hauled up this week by G. W; Hunter. Men from Portland are at the mines now to put the machinery in place, and $19,000 has been placed in one of the La Grande banks to be used in the work this fall. 'Tis said they will give work to 150 or 200 men next summer. Sentenced to One Year. In the United States district court at Portland, W. II. Lane, ac cused of having circulated spurious coin, was arraigned before Judge Bellinger, plead guilty and was sentenced to one year in the Uma tilla county jail. Deputy United States Marshal Bentley, who took Lane to Portland, returned with him and lodged him in the bastile. Sentenced to Hang. Judge Ainold refused to grant a new trial to 11. II. Holmes, con victed of murder of B. P. Pietzel on September 21, 1894, and sentenced to hang. All Recommend It. Ask your physician, your drug gist and your friends about Shiloh's Cure for Consumption.

Gov't Report Li Vk- ii PENDLETON'S CITY ELECTION. Furnish Elected Mayor With Majority Over Other Candidates. Pendleton's municipal election was held Monday, with the follow ing result: .Mayor, W.J. Furnish; recorder, Geo. R. Lash; treasurer, II. E. Bickers; marshall, J. T. Van Orsdall; eouncilmen, R. B. Beatie, H. M. Sloan.- , , , Interest centered in the fight for the mayoralty, but the race for marshal was. if anything, more ex citing. Mr. Lash, who was up for recorder had no opponent,' and,' Hansford, making no effort for the office of city treasurer, Rickers suc ceeded himself with ease. Dr. R. B. Beatie and H. M. Sloan were the successful candidates for council men. 1 Trouble over Ties. The cases which have been pros ecuted against persons '-who cut timber from government land have not been dropped, but are being pushed on still further. The La Grande Chronicle says that some of the tie makers at Kamela -and other points are in a peck of trou ble on account of an-order, just made public, in which the govern ment demands that the O. R. & N. company cease payment oncortain ties which were bought by tho com pany at 'Kamela and near-by points. It is alleged by the gov ernment that the ties were cut from land belonging to the public do main and that the , parties had no right to sell and the company no right to buy. An , investigation is being made which may result in the arrest of a large number of tie makers, and, should the allegations prove true a great loss to merch ants who have furnished provisions to the tie makers, would be tho in evitable result. Howto PreventCroup, Some reading that will prove in vesting to you mothers. How to guard against the disease. Croup is a terror to young moth ers and to post them concerning the case, first symptoms and treat ment is the object of this item, The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is al most sure to follow. The first symptoms ie hoarsnees; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by P. M. Kirkland, Pioneer A Volcano In Eastern Oregon. The report was freely circulated in Baker City on Sunday last, bas ed on a Setter said to have been re ceived from Grant county, that Strawberry Butte, south of the town of Prairio City and whoso baso is close to. Logan valley, wa3 in a state of eruption and that ashes were being shot heavenward from its summit fully 150 feet high and over into Logan valley. The first upheaval is said to havo occurred on Friday and was accompanied by a rumbling sound and vibrations wero keenly felt. It is also said that the lake on the sido of the mountain had been completely dried up. Baker City Democrat. Passed Away. The death of Roy Hailey, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hailey, jr., wnicn occureu in rendieton Friday night, has caused the expression of deep sympathy for the bereaved parents. Although but 9 years old, Roy was possessed of very many friends and his death will be sin cerely mourned. A Lock-out. Rumor has it that there is ex citement out in Dry Hollow school district. It all came about when the directors refused the school house for a revival that was in, augurated by a minister of the Christian clurclvwho liailed from Portland. 'H'ae tirst night the meet Moling ....... mm . ing went off smoothly enough, but when the minister and congregation arrived on the second evening, they found tho door locked. Not to be outdone they crawled through the windows. But after that secured other quarters for their meeting placo. Howevtr the directors re lented so far aa to allow them the building for a couple ot nights. The matter has stirred lip quite a broil in tho neighborhood, and as some think the building was erect ed for religious gatherings as well as school : purposes, the end, may not yet be. A Dollar Potato. Tho Weston country- may be largoly in thorough of despond over the low price of wheat, but so long as we can raise potatoes at one dollar apiece there is a silver lin- x ing to the cloud and the Leader ad vises farmers to , turn their atten tion to planting an'1 cultivating dollar potatoes. C. F. Bullfinch has introduced this new industry. At his place above town ho grew a potato that weighed four pounds and six ounces, and exhibited it at, McGrew's drug store. Mr. R. M. O'Brien, when visiting Pendleton recently, happened to hear a man down there offer to give $1.50 for a potato weighing more than four pounds. Mr. O'Brien promptly of fered to furnish the desired 'spud," and ihe next time he went down took with him the Bullfinch speci men.: The Pendleton man did not want it so badly after all, but fin ally compromised on its purchase for one dollar, and afterwurds sold it at the same price to George B. McClellan, an Echo farmer, who wished to send it to his father in Kentucky. Stopped a Runaway Team. The East Oregonian tolls of a drayman who performed a heroic feat in stopping a runaway dray toani in Pendleton the other day. ' His team was running away, tear ing furiously down Main street to ward tho bridge. Tho reins were dragging on tho ground and the man was standing on tho floor of tho dray. He climbed along the polo between the horses and reach ed for the lines, which he succeed ed in securing. Then he climbed back to the seat and checked the headlong speed of tho frightened team. Men who saw him perform the act said that no money could havo tempted them to do it. Some New Cases. Divorce proceedings wore insti tuted by Leandcr Kirk against Margaret Kirk on" the grounds of desertion. They woro married in North Brownsville, Linn county, on February 12, 1871, and had eight childred, six of whom are living, viz: Amanda O., aged 22 years, Marv J., 20, nna M., 14, Maud, ll.Klva, 9, ami Roy 15., 5. The plaintiff asks for the custody of the children., P. E. Colhurn filed a suit against L. I). Lively and Clark Walters for $i200 on a promissory note. Failed to Materialize. There's a mighty good set of tele phono poles strung out between Pendleton and Canyon City that will very likely bo utilized for cord wood or fence posts by somo one, says the Grant County News. Tho wires failed to materialize, and the Ecoplo of Grant county will not o ready soon again to risk any gold upon the enterprise until some probability of the success of tho lino is assured. A Coyote Drive. On, next Thursday 250 or 300 men and boysre expected to meet at the place of Sam Johnson, on Dry creek and participate in a gi gantic coyote drive. They will form a circle from the Geer spring to Andy McEwen's place on the south and west, and the state line will form the base of operations on the north and east. Nerves on Edge.
