ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3, 1896. NUMBER 1. REGULATOR Ileadef, did you ever take Simmons " Liver Regulator, the "Kino of . Liver Medicines ?" 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 J ' f the body and poisons the whole system. 'That dull, heavy feeling is due to a j . torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, ,' - Malaria and Indigestion are all liver i diseases. Keep the liver active by an T" ' ' occasional dose of Simmons Liver Beg ( ulator and you'll get rid of these trou- i blaa, and give tone to the whole sys- 1 ? tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver . Kegulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly I refreshes and strengthens, j ' - . . ,.

Your cof respondent was in Pendleton a few days ago and I find the wireworkers are quietly manipulating in the political background. I mean the republican dog is vigorously wag? ging his tail and does not appear to think the democratic, animal cuts any figure in the coming con test; while the populist cur snarls and barks a little all the time. The present county officers are all slated for" re-election of course, Housef, Martin, Burroughs and the lesser liehts and as Charley Besaerer would say, "they are all good men too." ' v ' i T understand Mr. C. T. Taylor, the hardware man, is likely to be a candidate for the state senate, and Mr. Furnish, the present mayor-el ect of Pendleton, might be induced to make the fight on the democratic eide. He is very popular and might make it quite tropical for Mr. Taylor. Both are good busi ttesa men, but as a new member must serve at least one year before he is on to the ropes, it would not be wise to elect e:ther one if we can find a man who is known to be up to snuff and on to the . political wires at Salemi For instance, such a man as J. H. Raley. But, stop! He is a democrat, and this is not a democratic year. Again his law business is worth more to him than a seat in the state senate would be, and it is not likely he wqulcj like a nomination if offered him. How ever, let us look at it from a prac tical business point. Although personally, I am at liberty to say I don't like Raley. He ie not a very close friend of the East End, but he is the most efficient man the county could send to look after its interests. He is honest; he is cap able; he is industrious; he is ao quainted with the workings of the lHgislature in all its details. Any measure he undertakes to champion becomes a law. A very few acts he opposes ever pass. Hence he is a s power in the legislature. We East-enders owe him no love for the action, he has taken in the divi sion movement, but he has done as he agreed he was not fiiend.lv to it.;. He never agreed to be friendly to it, and he was honest In bis op position, s "'J'-- ' ! If he agreed to" help us we could depend on his word. L?t us look this matter in the fate It is like ly tobe take.n up in both conven-: tions next spring and settled then, so that the vexed question will not occupy the time of the legislature. If we can get the convention to agree to give ua division rRailey would put a bill through in short order. If we try as usual to jsmuggle it !ervoii3v.-': People should realize that the only trua nd permaneut cum for theil condiilon is to be found la having PurevBI66d-l; Because the health of every organ and tissue of the body depend upon the ; purtty of the blood.

These are plain facts and facts are stubborn things. I don t know whether Raley would accept trie nomination if onered mm or not, but I do know he would bo the best man on general principle that we could ' elect. As 'I said before we owe him nothing, ..but we owe ourselves something, and Raley could come nearer securing' for us what is due from the state than any other man. There should be . no politics in this; it is business. " East Ender. A LAND BILL. Congressman Ellis Introduces a Mea sure Affecting Settlers. The following bill, of interest to people in this section, has been in troduced by Congressman Ellis: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in congress assembl ed. That, "An act to amend an act entitled 'an act to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted for the purpose of aiding in the construc tion of railroads, and for other pur poses,' ' approved September 29, lo'Jz, and the several acts amenda tory thereto," approved December 12, 1893, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: That section three of an act entitl ed "An act to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted for the purpose of aiding in the construction of railroads and for other purposes," approved September 29, 1893, and the several acts amendatory there to, be and the same is hereby am ended so as to extend the time within which persons entitled to purchase lands forfeited by said act shall be permitted to purchase the same in quantities and upon terms provided in said ' section, at any time prior to Januitry 1, 1897; provided, that actual; settlement upon Biiid lands by persons claim--ing the right to purchase the same shall not be required where such lands have been fenced; cultivated or otherwise improved by the claim ants, and such persona shall be per mitted to purchase two or raore tracts of such lands by; legal sub division, whether contiguous or not, but not to exceed 320 acres in the aggregate; and provided further, that nothing herein contained shall be constructed so as to interfere with any adverse claims that may have attached to the lands, or any part thereof, prior to the settlement, cultivation or improvement mad by the person seeking to- purchase. ,,J , - . -V Bicyclists Win. ; , The bicycle men have scored one on the railroads, since the latter declared that they would no longer check bicycles or carry them with out charge. The wheelmen have taken to packing their wheels in trunks; and checking the trunks which the road are compelled to carry as ordinary baggage. Several of the roads asked Chairman Cald well to rule on the matter, and pointed out to him the difficulty to determine what is in the trunks. The chairman ruled that the roads must make the best of the situa tion. Charges may be "made when wheels are carried in crates or box es, but when they go in trunks as personal baggage, the road must carrv them as such. Not a few who read what Mr. Robert Rowls, of Hollands, Va., ha? to say below, will remember their own experience under like circum stances: "Last winter I had la grippe which left me in a low state of health. I tried numerous 'rem edys, none of which d'd.me any good,, until I wag induced to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The first bottle of it so far relieved me that I was enabled to attend to my work, and the eec: ond bottle effected a cure." For sale at5 and 50 cents a bottle by Osburn.

THETABLES TURNED Our Jute Mills Cannot Co m pete With Calcutta. ' ACROSS TIIE BOUNDARY. They Think They Could Check Any Advance Made by Our Boys Who Carry Guns. . " Aconglomorative mass of circum stances are at present staring the officials of Walla Walla peniten tiary in the face, and which may ultimately cause the closing of the jute mill at the institution. For a long time before the pres ent jute mill plant at the state pen itentiary was established the pro position for such a plant was dis cussed by the state press, members of the legislature and the directors of the penitentiary. Directors Sharpstein," Edmiston and Parker, says the Walla Walla Statesman, opposed the building of a jute mill on the ground that after the state had expended many thousands of dollars in preparing for the manu facture of jute bags would make the price of bags bo low that the product of the state mill could not be sold at a profit. In that event it was contended that hundreds of thousands of dollars spent upon the plant and machinery would be a dead loss. ; Even at that time the farmers all over the country were petition ing congress to cheapen jute bags by admitting them free of dutv, and a bill was then pending in con gress to carry out the wish of the farmers. Only-the work of the jute trust prevented The passage of IBSHge 01' ablislA the bill. ; . . The jute mill was esta! and for a time its nhenome ces? elated its projectors and am ed to confound its opponents, f Jta ,ar- promoters wero continually vaimfc- ing the success of the scheme and reminding the people of the con spicuous part they had borne in, its consummation., Those who' doubted the wisdom of the proposi tion and had the courage to say so were frequently twitted with the poor business ludgement they had displayed, and spoken of as old fa-, gies and croakers. - - ' , But tiifi tables are beginning to turn. The predictions of the op ponents of the jute mills are be ginning to be i verified. The de mand of the wheat growers for, cheaper bags was heeded by con" gress and duty on the foreign pro-; duct removed. After a few years of great activity and apparent pros perity the mill fails to find a profit able market for its output owing to the free competition of cheap bags from abroad 'More than half of the output of the plant last year remains unsold, and Coblentz's de falcation offset the profit of the previous year. : . , Although it begins to look like the state had an elephmt on its hands in the jute mill, there is no help for them in the restoration of the duty on jute bags for the wheat raisers of the country will rebel against such a concession to the jute trust; Congress cannot help the state out in this matter for to do so would be to help the jute trust at the cost of millions of farmers. It is more than probable that the manufacture of jute bags will soon have to be discontinued as they can not be manufactured even by convict labor as cheaply as in Calcutta. More mills are constantly being built and there will be no check to foreign competition. ACROSS THE BOUNDARY. They Think They Could Stop Any .Advance of Our Troops.
