if It Saved Uy Life"Ia a common expression, often heardfrom those who have realized, by personal use, the curative powers of Ayer'sCherry Pectoral. Icannot say enoughin praise of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, be-

lieving as I do that, but for its use, Ishould long since have died from lungtroubles. E. Bragdon, Palestine, Tex.

About six months ago I had a severeHemorrhage of the Lungs, brought onby distressing Cough, which deprivedme of sleep and rest. I had used vari-ous cough balsams and expectorants,without obtaining relief. A friend ad-vised me to try .

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.I did so, and am happy to say that ithelped me at once. By continued usethis medicine cured my cough, and, Iam satisfied, saved bit life. Mrs. E.Co burn, 18 Second St., Lowell, Mass.

I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoralfor over a year, and sincerely belieafaoohl hav been in my frare, JUd .not been for this medicine. It has eule-- i

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life.Two years ago I took a very severe Coldwhich settled on my lungs.

than a whistling station for the railroads,"said a prominent hotel man yesterday.

The roads make such close connectionsthat the traveler is harried from one depotto another and scarcely has time to eat ameal here The result is that the hotels aredoing bat small business and the landlordsare as gloomy as a lot of sextons instead ofbeing jolly like they used to be. It is claim-ed by the hotel keepers that the trainsshould stop for at least two hoars so as toallow the weary traveler a short period ofrest and recreation. This would give thehotels a chanoe to make a little somethingoat ol the tourist. An effort should be madeto make Portland something more than awhistling station.

The above complaint comes fromthe Portland Neics, of a recent date.This result has been anticipated byus. When that journal was laud-

ing the Southern Pacific and givingCrocker, Stanford and the Califor-nia journalists columns of "freepuffs," we made the bold assertionthat those men had no regard forOregon further than that of vam-

pires. They expected to and wouldwork unitedly to make Oregon trib-utary to San Francisco and Califor-nia as she had been in the past.That our only hope for speedy de-

velopment was in Oregon gettingcontrol of one or mo0t the great,transcontinental railways as Califor-nia controlled many. We furtherdeclared that the Northern Pacific,contrary to all expectations andpromises, had done little or nothingto benefit the state; that it is agrindiag monopoly, and iu everyinstance has put up freights to thehighest point of toleration by anoppressed people. It refuses nowto extend its lines into the minesand further notifies the Portlandchamber that it is "cheeky," or itsequivale t, in asking a reduction oftariff on ores from the Ctctir d'Alene mines. Further, it is now ap-

parent there will be a combinationof issues formed between the severalrailway corporations whose lines ex-

tend into this state, which will workgreat injury to the state throughfreight and passenger discrimina-tions; and nothing but the powerfulinterposition of the law will restrainthese corporations from such rob-

bing combination. In view of pastexperience, Oregon can expect noth-

ing, and must le wary in her rail-

way legislation.. The railways mustnot be allowed to cripple our strug-gling industries and retard immi-

gration to the state. Congressshould do something; the interstatecommerce law seems to be a farce,and the commission merely a tool inthe hands of railway corporations.If Oregon would make the progresspossible and ia keeping with hernatural resources, she must placeherself in an independent positionand tear herself away from thesesoulless monopolies vampires fromabroad, who come here to stagnateour arteries of traffic and feast uponour rich commercial blood, madepossible through such stagnation.

THE JOIST LEASE FOIWIODES UY

LA H'

The Oreymian says: The onesingle object of the act known asthe "railway lease bill," passed bythe legislature of Oregon at the lastsession, was to authorize the O. tt.& N. company to lease their lines tothe Union Pacific. It was repre-sented that the consolidation of theUnion Pacific and the O. It. & X.lines into a single system would bean excellent thing for Oregon, sinceit would give the state a continuousline across the continent under asingle management, and moreoverwould enlist the powerful UnionPacific in the work of developing asystem of local lines for tho Pacificnorthwest, in competition with theNorthern and other roads.

These arguments were set forthby agents of the Union Pacific andO. K. &. X. companies. Moved bythem thelegislature of Oregon en-

acted the ' lease bill." To the termsof that bill the O. K. & X. mustconform. Under these terms theUnion Pacific may take a lease ofthe O. R. &. X., but the XorthernPacific cannot.

It is necessary only to examinethe act. The act simply extends orenlarges the general powers of theincorporation, within the limits itspecifies; that is, incorporations areauthorized by it to exercise certainpower they were not authorized toexercise before. These powers arespecifically defined. "In case theobject or purpose for which anysuch incorporation is incorporatedis in whole or in part to construct orconstruct and opeiate a railroad."then this act authorizes such incor-

poration to "lease any part or all ofits road to any other company in-

corporated for the purpose of main-

taining and operating a railroad,and to lease or purchase, maintainand operate any part or all of anyother railroad constructed by anyother company, upon such termsand conditions as may be agreedupon between said companiesrespectively."

Now, if this were all, the O. K.& N. company could lease it lines tothe Northern as well as to theUnion, or to the Xorthern andUnion jointly. But it is not all.There immediately follows a re-

strictive condition, to-wi- t: "Pro-vided, that nothing in this act shallbe construed to authorize tho leas-

ing of any railroad line to anycom- -

England a generation ago madejute, flax and silk free. Its jutemanufacture has gone to India, itsflax mills in thirty-fiv- e years havedropped from thirty or forty to fouror five above Leeds, and those eai-ploy- ed

Harvard, Yale, Columbia and"Williams college teach their studentsfree trade theories. Indeed themajority of our colleges teach thefree trade philosophy of revenue andtaxation, except those of Pennsyl-vania. This is not a very significantfact, for a great many colleges teacha good deal that the graduate inafter life finds out to be merescholastic rubbish. The pedagogueis not always, nor often, a statesman.

In an interview at Venice, DonCarlos declared that Spain must be-

come one of the great Europeanpowers, that her navy must be im-

mediately strengthened, and thatobligatory service was essential.The present monarchy, he said, wasunfitted to carry on the work beforeit, and unless it was replaced, hewas strongly of the opinion that arepublic would soon come. TheSpanish future lay in Morocco andSouth America. Don Carlos expressed his readiness to fight forthe Spanish cause the moment hewas called.

Laing, in his travels in Norway,says that the horsea in that countryhave a very sensible way of takingtheir food. Instead of swillingthemselves with a pailful of waterat a draught, from the fear of notgetting any again, and then over-gorgi- ng

themselves for the samereason, they have a bucket of waterput down beside their allowance ofhay. It is amusing to see withwhat relish they take a sip of oneand a mouthful of the other alter-nately, sometimes only moisteningtheir mouths, as a rational beingwould do while eating a dinner ofsuch dry food. A broken-winde- d

horse is scarcely ever seen inNorway.

VIEWS O.V THE TARIFF.

The New York Time says thatThomas Gale, president of theOnondaga Salt works, is an English-man by birth, but has been a resi-

dent of Salina, near Syracuse, N.Y.,for fifty-on- e years, and has been inthe salt business forty years. He isa democrat in politics.

"I go to New York," says Mr.Gale, "with a cargo of salt, and meeta man from Europe with a cargo ofsalt. He comes into New Yorkfree. We both sell at the sameprice. Very well. My cargo haspaid a school tax, a highway tax, apoor tax, a law and order tax, acounty tax and a state tax. Thatman's cargo has paid nothing.Shall we do by strangers betterthan we do by our own citizens, orshall we stop all improvements and

.all progress? The foreigner takesthe money away and improves hissurroundings. The land that nowpays one-tent- h of all the tax in thetown of Salina through the manu-

facture of salt, didn't pay a shillingtax fifty years ago."

"Then, again," said Mr. Gale, "ifwe want cheap salt we must makeit at home. English dairy salt soldin this market at $1.48 per busheliu 1848, while for the last ten yearsthe price has ranged from 72 to 85cents per bushel."

Co. directors live in Oregon,and if they cannot prevent the proposed lease, they can at least delayits consummation for a sufficient timeto allow a special session of the leg-islature to repeal the lease law.But the Ot't'ifmian bolieves as firststated, that the provisions of the leatelaw wili prevent the proposed com-

bination: but if in the judgment oflawyers il will noIr theu ile remedypossible in a special session must becalled to the state's relief, as thecost of such legislative sessionwould be trilling as compared withthe damage to the material interestsof the state involved in the combi-

nation which h;ts beeu character-ized a ' scheme to rob north and robsouth."

JOIST LEASE I SLAW El L

It is now claimed that the pro-posed joint lease of the O. K. A: N.railroad by the Union and NorthernPacific railroads is prohibited by theinterstate commerce law and thecompanies may be enjoined fromcarrying the lease into effect, as in-

terpreted from the following clause:"That it shall Im unlawful for any com-

mon carrier subject to the provision? of thisnet to enter into any contract, agreement orcombination with any other common carrieror carriers for the pooling of freights ofdifferent or competing railroads, or to di-

vide lietween them the agv; rebate or net proceeds of the earnings of sueh railroads orany portion thereof: nnd iu case of anagreement for the pooling of freight asaforesaid, each day of its continuance shallIk-- deemed a separate offense."

A late Washington telegram saysthe house has continued Carlisle'stitle to hi: scat as speaker of thehouse.

Itltlrirt 4'lerk, Attention!

Kditok Indf.i'kxuknt: As somechanges were made in the school law bythe last session of the legislature in refer-ence to the duties of school clerks, per-

mit me to call their attention to themthrough the columns of your piperBlanks for making the annual reporthave just liecn received from Hon. E. 15.

McKlroy, superintendent of publicinstruction, and forwarded to each dis-

trict. These rcKi t.s must be returnedto this ottice by the first Monday ofMarch, according to section 42, Oregonschool laws, page 2$. This section ofthe law ha not been changed, but wefind that subdi vision .1 of section54, on page 0, adds considerable workto district clerks in the matter of enrol-ling for school purposes all persons be-

tween four and twenty years of age.Clerks should read this sectioa carefullyand comply with the provisions thereof.In thi- - section you will fiud it necessaryto visit each habitation, home, resilience.domicile or place of abode in thetrict, and by actual observation and interrogation enumerate the census chil-

dren of the same, etc. After your re-

port is complete, it is to lie submittedto the directors ami citizens at theregular annual meeting on the firstMonday of March, and all correctionsnecessary shall then be made, and theclerk shall tile the original report in hisoflict? and shall forw ard a cert i tied copyof said retort to the county superintend-ent not later than the fifteenth of March,etc.

There is a con li n t between the firstsection referred to and the last in regardto the time of sending the clerk's iexrtto the superintendent the first requiresthe rcHrt to In; sent in by the first .Mon-

day of March, and the last by thefifteenth of the month as we areanxious to have every report strictlycorrect in every detail, and especiallythe financial part, we advise clerks tofollow the directions in siilxll vision 5,section 54. and present their reports tothe annual meeting, and if they reachthis office by the 15th of March, it willlc satisfactory . Again, subdivision 6 ofthe last section mentioned, requires thatthe bonds cf the clerk shall le doublethe probable amount of all school moneysthat shall come into his hands as dis-trict clerk. The Uuid shall first be ap-proved by the lHurl of directors withinten days from the date of the electionand then sent to the county superin-tendent and placed on tile within thirtydays from the date of election. Itwould le advisable, we think, for clerksto keep a duplicate of their bond, but innil rases the original mti-- t lc tiled inthis ollice. Clerks will please remcrnlierthat no director cau go iiHn their Iwind

section subdivision s of section 37,page 25, of the amended school laws.According to sulwlivision 14 of section54, page :., the clerk shall immediatelyafter the annual meeting send a list ofthe officers of his district to the superin-tendent. gUing the length of term andpostoflice address of eaeh director, andthe clerk or the district.

And for all this work unless therehas been a tax levied clerks get noremuneration unless the districts arewilling to allow them some compensa-tion for their Ialors. We Iiojm? directorswill allow every clerk a reasonableamount for actual time spent in makingreports, etc .

The duties devolving on schoolofficers are sometimes rather unpleasant,and a great deal of unnecessary faultfinding is indulged in, occasionally bypatrons of the school, but this shouldnot deter good men from accepting suchpositions, as our school interests areworthy of the best thought and atten-tion of our people.
