tism, and other disabling complaints has fear
fully increased. 1t would seem that voting

comes home to the individual.

Tus ASSAY 0FF!oE.-Our Portland friends
find it difficult to understand why Congress
proposes TO locate the Assay office at the Oalles
The reason is obvious. This is the point a
which the mining trade centres, and ne AS
cay office is designed TOR the accommodation o
this class of citizens. Had our neiglbors ap
piled for aid to enable them TO save their ap.
pie crop, we should never have entered the lis
against them, but when it comes to an Assay
office, we naturally prefer to have it located
at q point where it will be of convenient &C.
cess TO miners. In this sentiment Congress-
concurs, and hence the Dalles is TO have tht
Assay Office.
