ed Iiver Slacier. SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1S95. President Cleveland; in a letter to the business men of Chicago, declining to attend a sound-money demonstra tion in that city, opens ,the campaign for the advocates of sound money, against the 16-to-l free coinage of silver agitation. He said that he sympathis ed with the object of such a demonstra tion, font consideration for the dignity of his office would not, In his judgment, permit him to attend. He was glad to see Jthe demonstration made, he said, as he considered it high time a cam paign of erUieutlon were begun to offset the demoralizing' tendencies of the promulgation of the propaganda of free and unlimited coinage of silver, the ultimate result of which he holds would foe silver monometallsm. This, he holds, would be followed or attend ed by business depression and finan cial demoralization. It would, he Bays, ven if it made money more plenty, increase the price of the neces saries of life. He calls attention to the worklngman, that be would be the greatest sufferer, and - to the farmer he nays that the better prices he would ob tain for his products would be more than offset by the increased cost of what he had to buy. In short, he ad vises the people to take a sober second thought to look into the financial question. Conservative study and ac tion he commends to them, and when they have done this he says he will have no fear of the action they will take sound and safe currency will be their decision. '. ... Hood River strawberry growers are not all working together harmoniously. The Oregon State Union will be repre sented here by a local manager, the Hood River Fruit Union will ship In dependently of the state union, and Independent buyers and shippers will be in the field. But this only shows that our strawberries will be in demand, 'f uey are known in the markets of the mining states east of us, and even to the Missouri river cities and Chicago. Hood River berries have shipping qual ities that berries from no other section possess. We seem to have the soil and climate to give them the right flavor and grow solid berries that will etand shipment to distant markets and arrive in better condition than berries grown near by. Our growers . take pride in careful picking and seeing that none but sound berries are packed and shipped. Fruit put up in attractive shape will always sell for enough more . to pay for the extra care in packing. Returns this year will be made to each grower, individually, and every one who stamps his name on a crate of her-, ries should use great care in packing, and see that it is done right. If you have had no experience in packing strawberries, go 1 to your neighbor for pointers ana learn. ; Theadvarce in the price of meats : seems to be the result of a combine more than the scarcity of beef animals. Three companies in Chicago the Armour Packing Co,, the Swift Pack ing Co. and the Nelson-Morris , Pack . ing Co. are powerful enough to con trol the market. The producer is not greatly benefited by the rise, while the trust will make millions. The senator "' ial investigating committee discovered Iiow these companies manage to keep down the price to the producer. Early every morning before the cattle market in Chicago opens, representatives of these three firms come together and agree upon the quantity of first-class lef which each company desires each day. If one company Is short, it agrees to pay at most 5 cents and others . ' renpectively agree to pay 4 and 4 cents. A cattle owner will come into the mar - ket and receive an offer of 6 cents from the short packer. He will refuse and make his offer to other cattle buyers. He will at once discover that one agrees to pay him only 4 cents a pound and the other only 4 cents a pound. He is therefore compelled to return to the short meat packer and accept the orig inal bid. The war between China and Japan is ended and a treaty of peace was signed in ilmonosaki April 16th. - The terms of the treaty include the inde pendence of Corea, Japan's retention of the conquered places, Japan's reten tion of the territory east of the Liau river, permanent cession of Formosa, and an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan. It is said President Cleveland aspires to a third term. We don't believe it. No one knows better than Cleveland himself that ,he could not be elected a third time. It is part of the unwritten law of the republic that no rnan shall hold the office of president a third time, and the man does not live who could be elected by the people to a third term. This will be a fruitful year for Hood River. Thousands of young apple trees will bear for the first time, and peaches, pears, prunes, plums, cherries, etc., promise a big crop, The yield of strawberries will be enormous, and if fair prices rule, Hood River will be all right. ' ' ' ; - ; Stand Together. '"' Hood River, April 15, 1895"; Editor Gi-acier: There appears to be several parties from different parts of the coun try soliciting for the strawberry crop for this season; Their modes of buying will be to pay a stated price each day. All very nice as far as It goes. How far will it go? -Fruit growers, you tell., We all know the early, or first berries, will sell without any trouble. V These parties are no doubt repre sentatives of commission men, who will pay a stated price ior the fruit for the first few days, when the fruit will sell for fair prices, and then what? The cry comes, "Market down!" and then our fruit will not justify packing and shipping to market. If they want our fruit, let tbem name, a stated price for the cron and put the money in sight to pay for it. When you ask this of them you will not find many soliciting for fruit. Growers, let us work together for the welfare ot each other. "United we stand, divided we fall." Fbuit Grower. Mr. Henld's Eleventh Pupils' Recital. Satubd at Eve, April 20, 8 O'clock. PROGRAMME.

The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system is seriously af fected, impairing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly is too se vere a shock to the system, as tobacco, to an inveterate user becomes a stimu lant that his system continually craves. Baco-Curo is a scientific cure tor the to bacco habit, in all its forms, carefully compounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private practice since 1872,with out a failure, purely vegetable and guar anteed -perfectly harmless. You can use all. the tobacco you want, while taking Baco-Curo, it will notify you when to stop, We give a written guarantee to permanently cure any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent interest. jsaeo-tjuro is not, a substi tute , but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid of will power and with no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure and free from nicotine as the day you took your first chew or smoke. Hold by all druggists, with our ironclad guarantee, at $1 per box, three boxes, (thirty days treatment), $2.50, or sent direct upon receipt of price. Send six two-cent stamps for sample box. Book let and proofs tree. Eureka Chemical & Manufacturing Chemists, La Crosse. j Wisconsin, A Good Work. We have received froirv 'George H. Himes, secretary of the Oregon Hu mane Society, a pamphlet containing au abstract of the state laws for the prevention (fif cruelty- to animals, the constitution and by-laws of the society, and other- matter pertaining to the workof the society. We quote from the book, under the heading "Our Work and Methods," as follows: - . "The Oregon Humane Society was organized as an incorporation in Feb ruary, 1882. After the legislative act of 1885, a constitution and By-laws were adopted, and fur'her revisions were made in 1893. "The city of Portland, through the honorable commissioners of police, de tail an officer, as humane agent, whose duty it is made to report daily at the Humane headquarters, and to spend his entire time patroling the city, visit ing the markets, produce stores, rail road yards, wharves, excavating work, and examining all horses and stock upon his own motion, or upon com plaints received. He makes a full re port and receives his general instruc tions at the monthly meeting of the board 6f trustees. He gives warnings, makes arrests and aids the prosecution of offences and violations ot the law. "The society disseminates humane literature, conducts correspondence,dis cusses principles' of action, and an nually, with the hearty co-operation of the board of directors of the public schools and superintendent and princi pals, offers prizes for . meritorious com positions on kindness to animals and kindred tonics. A public anniversary meeting is held for this purpose. Be sides the prizes, an average of 200 year ly subscriptions to Our Dumb' Animals are distributed to the children. The society has also freely distributed that epoch-making book, 'Black Beauty,' hi great numbers, to teachers, shool di rectors and others. This 'Story of a Horse' has a world record of two mil lion copies printed and sold. We make frequent protests through the papers ana otherwise against abuses like the over-check rein, docking and clipping, improper dehorning of cattle, or neglect on the range, Improper stabling, etc. We call attention to the inhumanity implied in trap-pigeon shooting, dog or cock fighting and the. wearing of birds in women's hats, etc. We advo cate merciful methods of slaughtering, and of killing, as well as of impound ing dogs or other animals, and dis posing of abandoned or injured an imals."; Eastern inquiries concerning the city of Grand Dalles are not nearly as nu merous and frequent as they used to be. Tax-paying time last year was made the occasion of many inquiries as to the growth of the city, the number of its inhabitants, the number of fac tories in operation, etc., but up to date this year the treasurer' has not been bothered much that way. One inno cent Buffalouian asks to know the amount of his taxes and requests the treasurer to give him some information about the new town. , A Washington, D. C.lady, who probably knows all about the new town, sends the treas urer the amount of her tax with the prayer that "God would forgive the people of Klickitat for their unright eous taxation." Klickitat Republican. V. F. Baker was arrested at The Dalles Tuesday for issuintr false and fictitious lottery tickets. He raffled off a bicycle, and induced the boy to hold the winning card in his hand before he drew out the winning number. He was bound over to appear before the grand jury in the sum of $150 Prof. Lloyd and M. Reynaud pro pose a plan for a summer trip as fo -lows: From home to Hood River; as ceud Mt. Hood; go by the emigrant road to Oregon City; attend the Chau tauqua association eight or ten days; go to Mt. Jefferson and climb it; thence across country to Astoria and attend the summer school at Gearhart Park; return to Hood River; go to Mt.Adams and climb it, explore the country around it and then return home. They expect to have both pack and saddle horses, and Prof. Lloyd will thorough ly botanize the regions through which he passes. Forest Grove Times. The Jacksonville Times says: Look out for an irrepressible female who Is canvassing for the sale of pants buttons. She snaps one on the pants of a mar ried man and he is compelled to buy a box in order to explain to his wife where he got that button. . In some instances she will clip off two or three buttons, and the victim is compelled to buy a box or go around holding up his pants.

' The city of The Dalles has sold bonds to the amount of $60,000, which real ized $65,840. , The legislature of Nebraska has ap propriated $200,000 to purchase seed grain and food for the drouth-stricken farmers in the western part of the state.

ROBERT A, MILLER, ujjiWiiuS Register. NOT A MERE FIGUREHEAD. Victoria Said to Take an Active and Ben eflcent Port in Public Affairs, k A corner of the veil which screens the inner life of royalty from the com mon gaze was raised the other day by Mr. Eentoul, M. P., at a meeting of la dies in support of the women's suffrage movement, says the s Westminster Ga4 zette. . Mr. Eentoul said his idea had always been that, the' queen' was a merely ornamental sort of personage, who signed such documents as were submitted by her ministers, .and was restrained from doing any harm by constitutional safeguards. He ' had, however, recently made the acquaint ance of two lords in waiting, who have been in attendance on her majesty for many years, and the information he had obtained from this source had com pletely altered his views as to the in fluence exercised by the queen in mat ters of domestic and foreign policy. He had learned that she 1s proficient in eleven European languages, and that she has during the last four or five years completely mastered Hindus tanee, in which she converses with great correctness and fluency with any of her Indian subjects who are pre sented at court. ' Her majesty frequent ly writes to every important sovereign in Europe, and her influence on the side of peace is said to have been very beneficial, her knowledge of foreign af fairs being most intimate and accurate. At several critical stages in the rela tions between European nations the queen's personal influence has been sue-, cessfully exerted to prevent war. . It is even alleged in court circles that her majesty would have been able to pre vent the Franco-Prussian ; war if Emperor Louis Napoleon had not pre cipitated hostilities on the Rhine be fore any opportunity was afforded for mediation. "' -,- 4 LONG BEFORE PULLMAN'S DAY. Benjamin Dearborn, In 1810, Thought Out the Sleeping and Dining Car. The recent Pullman troubles impart a special interest to a discovery re cently made by File Clerk Walter H. French, among the archives of the house of representatives, says the Washington Post. The discovery is in the nature of a petition to congress preferred in 1819 clearly foreshadowing the modern system of sleeping cars. The petition is all the more interesting because the power of steam used in the propulsion of railroad trains at that time was still in its infancy and wrapped more, or less in vagtie mystery. The paper is as follows: - "The memorial of Benjamin Dear born, of . Boston, respectfully repre sents: That he has devised in theory a mode of propelling wheel carriages in a .'manner probably unknown in any country, .and has perfectly satisfied his own mind of ' the practicability of con veying mails and passengers with such celerity as has never before been ac complished, and in complete security from robbery on the highway. ? "For" obtaining these results he relies on, carriages propelled by steam on lev el railroads, and contemplates that they can Ibe furnished with accommo dations for passengers o take their meals and their rest during the pas sage, as in a packet; that they be suf ficiently high for persons to walk in them without stooping, and so capa cious as to accommodate twenty, thir ty or more passengers and their bag gage." - .- GOOD FIGHTERS. Chinese Soldiers Are Fearless and Infinite In Numbers. ... ; Our knowledge of the moderri China man in battle has been derived from the wars of 1883 and 1884 with the French.- . . According to the French narratives of the war in Tonquin, the Chinese generals were deficient in strategy; but the rank and file fought so desperately, with such utter disregard for life, that they generally won the battles, and the campaigns ended in French re treatsv Admiral Courbet covered him self with glory by his operations on the Kiver Min, which ended in the destruc tion of the Chinese arsenals and ship yards, but the admiral had to make all haste to withdraw his force; if he had delayed, not a ship nor a man would have escaped, says the San Francisco Argonaut. - ; . So' at the conflict on the island of Formosa. The speed with which the French landed was outstripped by the speed with which they reembarked. French officers who have seen the Chi nese in the field shake their heads when foreigners talk lightly of their military prowess. In fact, the ques tion speaks for itself. ' Given a prac tically indefinite number of fighting men, every one of whom is ready to die on the field, it goes without saying that it cannot be overcome by a weaker force. ' . " " , Awed by a Glass Eye. One of the many superstitious fears that render the laborers from sunny Italy so generally docile' was recently taken advantage of by a'shrewd Irish foreman employed on a public job. There was a misunderstanding likely to result in a general strike, and he as sembled, the men together, listening patiently to their statement of griev ances. When they concluded, he called to his side the bookkeeper of the con tractor, a man with penetrating dark eyes, one of them quite still because it was . artificial. The foreman stated with emphasis, the only terms upon which he would compromise, and the bookkeeper kept his "evil eye", fixed on the crowd. The -terms were ac cepted without a murmur, and the crowd hastily dispersed. . The book keeper was entirely unconscious of per forming any part in determining the controversy. ' - , , . , , ' Chinese Marksmen. The accuracy of the Chinese marks man is marvelous, ' when it is remem bered the gunstock rests on the hip. In this way he brings down with great facility birds on the wing, and even the snipe, whose zigzag course renders them difficult to spot with tlhe western fowling piece. In addition, , too,' he usee no explosive cap, but fires it with lighted fuse. , Fruit & Produce Commission Merchants HELENA, MONTANA. Helena is the best distributing point in Montana.
