A GOOD BILL.
Among the man) bills introduced In
congress, by our efficient and hard
working representative, Hon. liing-r
Hermann, looking towards Oregon's
lropperity, is the one which authorizes
the secretary of war to order repairs
and improvements of a temporary char
acter m all navigable rivers for the pur
pose of preserving and continuing the
use and navigation of said rivers with
out interruption, upon the application
of the engineer in charge of such rivers,
the .repairs and improvements to in
clude protection of public works al
ready begui or finished, such as dykes,
wing-dams, scraping, sluicing, snag
ging, dredging, or artificial stirring up
of bottcm in cliannel obstructions; and
the secretary is authorized to draw his
warrant upon the secretary of the treas
ury to pay the actual cost of such work,
to be paid out of any money iu the
treasury not otherwise appropriated.
The Oregonian, in speaking of this ;
bill, says: This is a very important S
and meritorious bill. Under it, the
secretary of war would have authority
to sluice out the bars in the Columbia
river between Portland and the ocean
whenever that work is required. The
necessity always occurs at the end of
the season when, under the present
system, the United States engineers
are usually out of funds. The result
Is that citizens of Portland are com
pelled to subscribe money to do a work
which the government assumes to do,
but in fact neglects. Under this bill,
also, the annual period of navigation
on the upper 'Willamette river could lie
considerably extended. lUvcr naviga
tion, which fell to nothing upon the
construction of the valley railroads
Borne years back, is now becoming im
portant again. The river is a link in
an important competitive system of
transportation, and it is highly im
portant that it should be kept clear of
drifts and drift bars which are likely
to be formed any time.
In the actual and important work of
assisting navigation in the Northwest,
private enterprise has done more than
, the government. It is private enter
prise always that meets emergencies;

work. Large sums expended by the:
government are often wasted because ;
4l - , , . . . , . '
the engineers have not at the right t
j
time a little money to protect a half- j
buUt work or to mend a breach in a
completed work. Small obstructions j
which could be cleared out with a little !
snoney are left to grow into great ones
or turnctl over to private enterprise;
Tlie Duldie has been burdeneil with
charges which ought to be borne by the
government. The law proposed by Mr.
Hermann would r lieve the eitizens of
this, and of other states similarly sit- i "-fi for fattening hogs. Large quanti
uaied and would result in the savimr j ties are likely to be exported to western
of money in the long run. It should j
be urged upon the grounds of economy
and justice.

Feed a colt enough to keep liim

oats as a full grown horse.
Three hundred heater cars have been

It is stated that the state veterinar

Among the Aroostook wonders is a

There were 19,70,OtX bushels of

It is always best for a farmer to es
tablish a reputation for selling a good
article in order to get his full share of
the profit on anything he has to sell.
The agricultural department fixes
the average of Iowa's corn crop at a
I fraction over twentv-five bushels to the
acre, and that of Nebraska at twenty
four. Pick over the beans this winter and
select god ones to plant. Better sell
the poorer ones at a low price than
plant them. Plant the best of every
thing. To enrich land that is poor we must
have manure, or its equivalent in vege
table matter, cr apply plant food in
some shape to induce the growth of
vegetation.
During the past seven years more
than 200,000 acres in England have
gone out of cultivation. It means a
loss of 300,000,000 to the land-owners
and farmers.
It has lieen conceded by those inter
ested that no profits can be realized
from creameries the first year, but that,
with experience, good profits will be
had thereafter.
There are thousands of farmers in
this country who are farming at a los.
To these it may le said that it requires
more than physical lalwr to make a
success of any vocation.
The enormous quantities of ensilage
com which can be grown to the acre,
and the cheapness w ith which it can
be put into the silo, makes it a com
mendable fortification against our sum

Kx -Justice Stronp. of the lnitel!"tates Supreme
Court, questions the constitutionality of the Hlair
K"n atiotial bill, and expresses the opinion that
his views are those of his former associates, now
on the bench. This is a strong argument ucninn
the measure and will exercise no little in
fluence. As the subject of Prohibition is one of especial
interest just now , I will mention that I'omrressraan
Hayes, of Iow a, has placed himself on record for
the second time in opjo.iiUm to the can. When
Circuit Judge in Iowa he decided that prohibition
was unconstitutional, and lie has this week re
fused to present to conjrre-is a petition from his
state praying for prohibition in the District of
Columbia, lie declares himself absolutely oss
ed to prohibition ou principle, and thinks the vo-
plc of Io-v r.re mcdllng when they attempt to
force upon the District legislation in a mutter that
he calls of nrerely local concern."
That brilliant but indolent man L. O., V. Iji-
mnr, is apparently enjoying the "crowning honor
of his life." He is peuceftiUy n-rsxing upon the
restful woolsack where Ids slumbers will not be
disturbed by the d innnds of annoying doart-
mental duties nor the tm-essaat importunities of
the office-seekers. The Court can distribute no
patronage, and as for real work, are there, not
eight other JuMli-, s ls-(.des liniar to do it.
The lresiilent ha thrown another eni'i'o of
comfort timely enough to the -iv;l j-vniec re
formers in accepting the "resintttion" of I'nttcd
States District Attorney Harris, who took a promi
nent part in the recent notorious municipal elec
tion at Jackson, Mi. As visa remember this has
been the subject of Congressional discu-ion. The
official in question, in quitting ot"ce. says lie re
tires to relieve the President of emlnirrassment.
Those near the throne declare that Mr. Clevel.md
was not nearly so much embarrassed as a certain
young subordinate whose resignation was gently
H-quested.

A Great Freak of Nature.
On New Year's day there was born
to a young woman (name not given) in
Oakesdale, W T., twin babies, bound
together in one Ix-ing, and connected
from what is known as the morbileas
up to the fourth rib. The attending
physician in writing of this strange
freak of nature, says thorugh the Col
fax Commoner ; Their heads, shoul
ders and extremities were naturally
formed, witli their little cheeks coming
in contact with each other, and witli
their arms thrown around each other's
neck hi fond embrace, thus presenting
one of the grande st pictures of inno
cence and love that the human mind
c uld possibly conceive. The little in
nocents only made a faint struggle for
life, and passed over to the bright lye

"My little son, three years of age,
was terribly afflicted with scrofula.

lottles of Aver's Sarsa parilla cured
him." W. J. liecket, Hymera, I ml.
A Revival.
"Why do you keep up a revival all

of an Arkansaw negro preacher. "Has

There is no doubt whatever that the

It i not chimerical to suppose that the

aneous diseases, likewise, are by no

Sore Eyes
The eyes are always in sympathy with

weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has

which Ayer's BarsaparUla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in

I suffered for a year with inflamma

return our thanks to our cus

appreciate their liherality, and
now at the heginmng of the
new year we herehy obligate
ourselves to give the best val
ue in Drv Good?, Clothing,
Boots and Shoes, Gents Fur
nishing Goods. In fact every
thing that belongs to the gen
eral merchandise line that we
possiblv can. We
ARE
going to staj right here in
Iebanon with the determina
tion to hold the title of the
Leaders in the general mer
chandise business if honest
gmids at low prices has any
thing to do with it. We
claim to le authority in say
saying that we carry the best
line of Gents' Shoes to be seen
! in this countrv. Thev are the
most extensively advertised
shoes in the United States.
This is saying a god deal but
it is a fact and we are
GOING
to stick to it. We allude to
the W. L. Douglas $:J.OO shoe
! the W; L. Douglas 4.00 shoe
is a hand sewed welt shoe
eaijual to any $0.00 or $7.00
to le had anv place, j he .
L. Douglas $2.00 shoe for
bovs, we claim that you can
get no- letter when price and
tpiality is considered.
TO
command a large trade and
hold it you must treat people
right, and at the same time
give them goods at liedrock
I prices; that is what we alwavs
i have done, and will still con
jtinue to do. It is no trouble
I to
SELL
a jK-rson one bill, but you
must sell it so vou can sell
him
MORE
in the future. AVe have
fine line of neck wear, silk
handkerchiefs and everything
pertaining to the fancy
GOODS
suitable for Christmas pres
ents in stock.
IN '88
we predict a prosperous year.
The signs of the time indicate
it. and we don't claim to be
better prophets
THAN
any one else, either. This is
the last "ad" Ave are going to
make
IN 1887,
and we hope every person in
Lebenon and vicinity who
read the Expkfss will read it,
OR
if jhcydon't take the Expkfss
borrow their neighbors'. Am
way, just so they read our
"at!" from this week. If you
want a boot that will not rip,
tear or X
BUST
buy the Buckingham fc Hecht,
that is the boot we carrv and
OUR
trade with them has been im
mense. Now one word to the
ladies remember every pair
of shoes we sell we alwavs fas--ten
