This is the greatest seismic dis turbance in the history of tbe west ern hemisphere, exceeding by far in loss of lives and property the earth quake results at Charleston, South Carolina, in 1886. It is not the first serious earthquake wbioh has reached Sou Francisco, for iu 1865 a shock brought about considerable damage, and on Ootober, 1868, an earthquake was disastrous iu the way of property loss. On this ocoasion tbe motion was east and west, and several build ing on Pine, Battery and Sausome streets were thrown down, and a considerable number badly damaged. In this earthquake tbe principal dam age was oonQned to tbe lower portion of tbe city, below Montgomery street, though tbe shook was very severe in Oakland. At one placo iu the lower part of San Francisco, the ground opened several inohes wide and about fifty feet long; and iu other places the ground opened and water forced itself above the surface. Jonathan Bourno has a portion of the state press subsidized with tbe ob jeot of purchasing the highest office within the gift of tho people of Ore gou that of Uuitod States sountor. Nothing should bo permitted to a turn! iu tbe way of keeping dishonorable men out of office. Every citizen's plain duty is to, as far as possible, investigate the history of every can didate asking favors, or political honors of tho people. A mere promise is nothing unless backed by a clean and bonoruble record. Tbe more im portant tbe office tbe greater tbe de maud for an able and a trustworthy person to fill it. Today tho polls are opou to voters in tho first primary uomiuatiug elec tion held iu the state of Oregon. E very provision of tho new primary law is being strictly enforced, and it remains to be seeu whether or no it is satisfactory and an improvement over the old method of making nomina tions. The state of Iowa found pri mary elections unsatisfactory and at the recent session of tho legislature, the primary law was anuuled.

Therefore it merits your patronage in preference to any outside concern. 'HADE IN OREGON.1 Portland Oregonian. Tbe "Made in Oregon" movement, fostered and promoted by tbe Portland Admen's League and the Manufac turers' Association, is of great value to every industry iu this state. The importance of Oregon as a ' manufac turing state is not generally under stood and the projected exhibit of Ore gon made goods will serve to show the people what is actually, being done iu tbe way of home manufactures. Every dollar paid out for goods of Oregon manufacture remains in the state and is a portion of our perman ent assets, to be used iu either tbe ex ploiting of some other branch of in dustry or for general circulation at home. Every dollar paid out for a manufactured article, which is brought iuto the state from the east, goes to aid in the upbuilding of a manufacturing center thousands of miles away, where we have no pos sibility of participating in any of the resultant benefits. Tbe man who is asked to buy Oregon goods iu preference to those brought fiom other parts of tbe country is not making a sacrifice in granting tbe request; for Oregon manufactured goods, like tbe raw material produced in this state, can rest striotly on their merits. Our lumber manufacturers have built up an enormous trade and Portlaud is now pretty well known as tbe greatest lumber port on earth. In spite of this advantage of raw ma teria in unlimited quantities, there are still a great many carloads of wooden ware brought into Portland from tbe eastern factories. Quality considered, there is no advantage in price in favor of any of the eastern products, and, iu many cases, the price advantage is in favor of the Oregon manufacture. That there should be any demand at all foi east ern manufactured products, which are brought into Oregon to compete with those of home manufacture, is due almost exclusively to the indifforence of tbe buyer, aud it is for the purpose of properly presenting the subject to suoh buyers tbat tbe Admen and the Manufacturers' Association are pre paring the forthcoming exhibit. Oregon wheat has captured first prize in all of the big fairs of the oountry, and Oregon mills manufac ture this wheat into every conceivable form of cereal food, and yet tho "Made In Oregon" sentiment is not sufficiently strong to prevent large sums of money being sent east for cereal foods which to a considerable extent are manufactured from Oregon wheat The oousumer of this eastern cereal food accordingly pays freight both ways across the continent, and also a profit to the manufacturer who is building up a city thousands of , ii m n ii j r ' mjuBB uwHy iium luruuuu. viguu wool also has a world wido reputa tion, and Oregon made blankets, robes, and weariug apparel are unex celled ; but there is a lamentable in difference on the part of purchasers as to whether their money is paid out for tbe Orogon goods, and is thus kept in circulation at home, or is sent east to euhance tbe prosperity of some other community. COKE OK A SQUARE DKAI,. Portland Journal. The idea judicially expressed iu Judge Humphrey's deoision, that while a corporation may by fined the men composiug or comprising the corporation cannot be touched, may be good bench philosophy aud may have been a uecessary conclusion from j tbe statutes; but it is a sure and even startling piece of cvidouce tbat Make Your appointments Here the people are not yet getting tbe promised "square deaL" Tbe people must somehow get other and different laws, and law makers, and judges for courts as well as legislators make laws, and it often happens that a judge will decide tbat the law is so and so chiefly because son e other judge has decided that it was so, and not with respect to either the merits or tbe philosophy of tbe matter at alL Here is a gang of proven criminals; they are so not because they have made a lot of money in business, for to do this is legitimate, but because in doing so tbey have been persistent, defiant and insolvent violators of a law passed specifically to protect the people against just suoh men and operations. They plundered the peo ple of millions, the government at great labor and expense prosecutes them, and a court holds tbat while the corporation may be subject to a flue the men who did this are person ally and individually immune. And this is the flower of law in the twentieth century ; this is tbe aome of judicial wisdom. But there is one thiug tbat it is not, and that is "a square deal." No wonder people are not hurrah ing as lustily as formerly for any "grand old party," or for "princi ples;" what they are thinking about more and more is men who will give them "a square deal," and tbey want it not. in prefervid presidential preach ing, but iu performance; in congress, in legislatures, on the bench, aud in the White House. If Unole Sam the people cannot convict tbe members of tbe beef trust, if he cannot restrict tbe raven ing of the Standard Oil trust, then he is not getting a "square deal." How is he going to help himself? "A square deal" is a phrase; it sounds well ; but tbe beef thieves and tbe sugar scoundrels and the oil rob bers are out of jail, while the man who stole an ax or a salmon is wear ing stripes! The people are perceiving tbat this is not a "square deal. " POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS For Representative.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of tho Editorial Staff of The Kclkctic Medical Rkview says of Unicorn rcxit (ttcbmltts UMm) which is one of tho chief ingredients of the "Fa vorite Prescription" : "A remody which Invariably acts as a uter ine inviirorator makes for normal ac tivity of the entire reproductive system." He continues "in lielonlasw e have a medica ment which more fully answers the above purposes than any other druq vfffc which I am atqua tntai. in the treatment 01 diseases pe culiar to women it is seldom that a case Is seen which does not proseut some Indication for this remedial agent. " Dr. Fyfe further says: "The following are among the leading Indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). I'ain or aching In tbe back, with leucorrhepa; atonic (weak) conditions of tho reproductive organs of women, mental depression and ir ritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat In the region of the kid neys; menorrhagia (flooding), due to a weak ened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrha-a (suppressed or absent monthly periods), arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and anmmic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations In the extreme lower part of the abdomen." If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorlto Prescription, one of tho leading ingredi ents of which fs Unicorn root, or Helonias, and the medical properties of which ii most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription," Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben nett Medical College, Chicago, says: "It Is an Important remedy in disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions and general enfeeblement, it Is useful.'' Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root : "In relation to its general effects on the system, there to no medicine in use atmit whirh there in such general unanimity of opinion. It is untvtrmVy regarded as the tonic useful la all debilitated states." Prof. Bartholow, M. D.. of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal : "Valuable In uterine hemorrhage, menor rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor rhea (painful menstruation).'' Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith fully represents all the above named in gredients and cures tho diseases for which they aro recommended. L.
