FOR OPEN RIVER
Tireless and auyleldina (till, after
30 years' Berrien in tbe cause of ho
open river for tbe inUinl empire. Dr.
N. ). iilalock, of Wuli, Walla, bat
jal achieved another triumph for tbe
Open Kiver asocial inn.
. The Walla Walla II illutiu saya of bU
receot miccess i i eecurinu fundi for
the enlargement of the Columbia and
Hnaku river boat line:
N. (I. Hlaolck letnrned tbi
morn i ok from Paso-i and Kennewick,
in the mlc-rest of the open river pro
ject aud be returned in excellent aplr
ita over tba success with which bit
etfoiti are meeting.
Already about bM in stock subaerip
tioue, ot the Open Hirer association,
w hich iuteuria to start a line or pack
eta between Portland and Kennewick,
have been received, which leavea but
f 2 )(KJ to be Mibiicribed and assures the
rcrcefa of thu project.
At both Kmitinwirk and Pasco the
erlorta ot Dr. lilalock met with iu
stunt tespouse. At Pueco last night
within an hour after bia address be
fore tbe Commercial club, aubsorip
tious to the amount of 500 bad been
iibsoiibed. I lie -itiiii or .mju watt
raided in a similar mauner at Keune
wi K Suturday uigtit. Walla Walla
butineia uieu have subscribed 2000
aud it h thoasbt that it will be easy
to secure the auditioual f'JOOU neceeaa
ry.
Ootobei 9, the date ot tbe annual
mooting at Tuo Dulles, baa also been
chosen fcr the ruaideu trip of tbe
Norma, the beat which la to run be
tween Kennewick aud Tbe Dalles. Al
though the Norma la not a passenger
boat, It is thought that it will be pos
sible to aeoure the consent of tlio au
thorities to carry the delegates to tbe
meeting on that date and tbe occasion
will be one of great rejololug.
Korlhweatera Iload Coining:.
High otllolala of tbe Chicago &
Northwestern railway ar.i credited
with tbe statement that oonstrnotion
wiil be immediately pushed westward
from Shoshone, Wyoming, and con
tinued across tbe Bitter Hoot divide
to Ht. Anthony. This is conllrmatlon
of the statement published niouthi
ago when the Nortbwealem surveyors
were rushing lines tbruugb the lowest
pasties in that regiou. Tout the load
will be surveyed through central Ore
gon, aud touob tidewater at both
Coos bay and Portland, la now re
gardod as certain.
Several years will be required to
work out tbe Northwestern'a problem
of leaching the coast trom central
Wyoming. The distauoe to be tra
versed is about 1000 miles. Tbe work
has thus far proceeded slowly on ao
count of the Northwestern'a well
known close trafUo alllliatiou with the
Union Pacillo syetem.
Knilroad relationships have been
changing rapidly in the last year or
two, and the fnr-aeelng railroad mon
foresee that before long other trans
continental lines must push through
to the ooast in ordoi to keep within
hailing diatance of the gi owing tralllo
'Ilia coming in of the Milwaukee, an
other close friend of the Harrimnn
roads, will further change tralllo con
ditions that have for ao long been
nicely balanced to suit tbe existing
combinations.
Has Done It Ajala.
Yea. Hood River's done it again,
Last year when the bulk of the crop
waa aold for 3 15 per box all tba
koorkers there, and there are a few
the same as here, declared that prices
bud reached tbe limit; that from that
time on tbe prioea would retrograde
until blgn class apples requiring ex
pensive culture would not par for the
growing. The tale of Hood River's
Urst class apples Tuesday of last week
at approxmately 3 50 per box to tbe
Davidson Fruit Co., of that city,
givea tba knockers a knock-out blow
in tbe solar plexus, or words to that
effect. Don't write your frienda in
the east that Hand Kiver apples cost
Hve cents each by tbe carload iu that
city, however, lest they put you on
tbe Ananias list. Just ask them to
write for pricea. There is no use in
talking, the Hood Kiver apple baa tbe
world aklnned a mile for excellence la
color, shape, keeping qualtitiea and
tiavor, and wbeu It comes to pi ices
tuese apples are In a class to them
selves. bt. Johns Reviiw.
A ( berry Itlocli.
J. 1). Oolt informed The Chronlolo
tbia morning that the matter ot plant
ing cherry trees around the block In
which he lives, on Alvord and Jack
sou between II and U streets, has
been taken up by the residents of the
block aud if protection can be secured
tor the tree after they are once plant
ed tbe plan will be adopted. The idea
of the cherry promoters ia to plant
trees of the loadlug varieties outside
tbe tide walk, thus furnishing shade
and assisting in upholding the title of
the "Cherry City." it will be neees
aary however, for the city to furnisb
protection nr the trees before the
plan ia adopted.
Shortage of Coal lilts Itonls.
With a cargo of 110 tons of coal
from Tacoma the freighter Transport
arrived lu port says the lielllngbam
Keveuie,
Ollloers on the Transport aay it ia
now almost Impossible to get coal in
Seattle aud that the supply in Tuoouia
la short, more orders are being re
oelvod than tbe coal dealers can han
dle and in another month the supply
In both Seattle and laoorua will be
exhausted. Owner of coal buiuing
vessels on this part of the aouud are
making early preparations foi tbe
threatened famine thitt winter.

Postal Kate to Drop.
Beginning October 1 tbe new for

Ibis applies to all mail sent to for

Hon to Cure Cold.
The question of how to cure a cold
without unaecessary loss of time m one
in w hich we are all more or less interest
ed, for the quicker a cold is gotten rid
of the less the danger of pneumonia and
other terious diseases. Air. 15. W. L.
Mali, of Waverlv. Va., has used Chamb
erlain's Cough Remedy for years and
says: "I firmly believe Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to be absolutely the beet
preparation on the market for colds. I
have recommended it to my friends and

Little Illiteracy In Oregoa.
The standard of intelligence ia biirh
in Oregon. At tho census of l'.HX) only
3.3 per cent ot tbe total population
was Illiterate, as compared with 5. 7
per cent in 18b0, an improvement of
neatly 1xi per cent in 20 years. For
over 20 years Oregon has hold the high
bonor of having the most intelligent
women in tbe union. Tbe census of
1800 roported 3.5 per cent of illiterate
among the femalo population of Ore
gon aud tbe census ot l'JOO only 2.3
per cent.

Hood River Method.
A Hood River grower has just sold
40 boxes of apples at f 12 per box. A
fancy piioe, to be sure; but the care
ful grower who has apples that he can
sell at that price Is the man who
makes money out of tbe limitless.
Kugene Register.
Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri
can inventor, says "Fully eighty per
cent of thu illness of mankind comes
lrom eating improper food or too much
food ; people are inclined toover-in-dulge
themselves." Tbis U whero indigestion
finds its beginning in nearly every case.
Tho stomach can do just so much work
and no more, and when you overload it,
or when you ect tho wrong kind of
food, the digestive organs cannot pos
silily do the work demanded of them.
It is at such times that tho stomach
needs help; it demand hlep, and wama
you by headaches, belching, sour stom
ach, nausea and Indigestion. You
should attend to this at once by taking
siniething that will act null v do the
work for the stomach. Kodol will do
this. It is a combination of natural
digestants and vegetable acid and con
tains thu same tuices found in a healthy
stomach, It is pleasent to take. It
digests what you cut. Sold by Keir A,
