CASTOR IA ttesr. IM «1<n«tuie ot Cwu H Firmi» In um *N l'Xdíl.l K’i r at'llUESTtON. E ditor R eporter : N ow that the general interest in our state and county politics has temporarily subsided, I thought jx-rhaps that you might find space for an idea which occurred to me some time since, anil which, as the poet says: “In the dead of the night, a queer vision I saw; ami.thrice in the morning I <lrt amt it again ’’ It was this: I dreamt I was in the court house at McMinnville, strolling about the corridors, examining with a great deal of interest ami delight a collection of curiosities au<l specimens, all neatly arranged in cases, which lined the walls. Now why, thought I the next morning, could not this idea be made into a reality, and lie the beginning of a collection of curios, etc., connected with the history of Yamhill, which in the future might develop into a veritable uiuseutn, and be the pride of every citi zen of our county? Every pioneer fami ly, and many of those who have resided only a few years in Yamhill, has or have, no doubt, some relic or relics of bygone times, something connected with the past history of our county or state. These articles have, perhaps from famil iarity, become of apparently of little or no value, simply because no especial care has been takeu to preserve them. Arti cles such as Indian pottery, pestles and mortars, old swords and rifles, bows and arrows, arrow heads, books of early trav el, etc., etc., are often lost or carelessly destroyed by children, when by being brought together, labeled and classified, they would form an interesting exhibi tion to any Yamhiller. Such a collec tion would have an especially good influ ence upon any new coiner, who would wish to uiake a hoine with us. I believe there are or were some unused book cases in the court house which could be utilized for a beginning, and as the col lection grew in importance and size, oth er arrangements could be made for its re ception. It is not necessary for the own i ers of such curios and relics to donate them to the collection unless they wish to do so. They could be loaned for ex hibition. I would suggest that the idea, if worthy of j-our notice and paper space, should be turned over for realization to such a man as Cap. Wyatt Harris, whose time is perhaps not so fully occupied as that of most of us, and whose antiqua rian taste and judgment is unquestion ably good: Perhaps an association could be formed of philanthropic people who have at heart anything that will benefit the community. In future years such a collection would have an educa tional and refining influence on our pos terity, and perhaps be the means of pre serving many an article of priceless value from accidental loss or destruction.

Il is intended to strike the Nehalem river in Columbia county and follow it to its mouth. With small effort the road can lie continued south to Tillamook City and bay, and to points further south, if trade is thought to warrant the cost of building. It is said that only two places on the proposed route will require auy considerable engineering skill to sur mount. The road will tap one of the most extensive timber belts in the state, and a fertile farming and dairying dis trict, so that no doubt remains regarding sufficient business to pay for the build ing and operating expenses.

His Terrible Cough Few things are depressing and weaken ing as a constant cough. Few things are as dis couraging as a cough that will not yield to treatment. Dr. Pierce’» Golden Med ical Discovery cures coughs when all other medicines fail, because it is more than a cough medicine. The cough is but a symptom. "Discovery" makes new and pure blood, heals the lacerated tissues, and gives the body the needed strength to throw otf disease. It cures the cough by curing the cause of the cough. There is no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor other narcotic in the ” Discovery.” " 1 had a. terrible cough «otnething over a year au<» and could find nothing to stop it, or even to do me a particle of good,” writes Mr. t.
