As We Are Seen.

Mr.. Winstanley of this city re-
Gently entertained an old friend of
his, Mr.. w. Porter, of Warrington,
England. Upon his return home
Mr.. Porter was interviewed by the
Cheshire Examiner and in answer
to question MS to Mr.. Winstanley,
who left Warrington recently with
his family for America, and who now
lives at Salem, Oregon, Mr.. Porter
said: "Salem is between 300 and
400 miles from Vancouver, and is
the capital of the state of Oregon,
though by no means the largest
town in that state. 1t is situated
ON the Willamette river. l made
journey to see Mr.. Winstanley, and
spent three or four days with him.
When | got ON to the platform at
Salem who should l see but Mr..
Winstanley himself, although he
was not expecting me, but l can
tell you he was right glad to see me.
II | were to describe Salem l should
say 1t was like Knowsley Park, with
white houses studded about ii, and
n main street running right through
il. But Knowsley Park is not near
50 grand, fer there you have not got
gigantic mountains, peaked with |
snow away in the background as
they have in Salem, nor have you
the beautiful green foliage, leading !
right up the mountains, almost till |
your eye strikes the snow-cap. AS
soon as Mr., Winstanley got to Sa-
lem he got work at 81 dollars day,
and he bought piece of land of
about forty acres which is, should
say, worth nearly twice what he
paid for it, While l was staying at
Salem, Mr., and Mrs. Winstanley
and l called at the house of fellow
workman of Mr.. Winstanley-a
arge house standing in its own
grounds, and led up to by an
'venue, bordered on both sides by
Inc peach trees, and whilst there

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at
DR.. H. w. Cox's Drug Store as
their giving away to their custom
ers of so many free trial bottles of
DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable ar
ticle from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Coughs
colds, asthma, bronchitis, Group and
all other throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it be-
fore buying by getting a trial bot

A number of men who have
taken up land on the line of the
Oregon Pacific will build houses
upon the same at once.
A case ofsmallpox is reported at
Glendale, Douglas county. A Mr..
Singletary lately from San Fran
cisco is down with the disease.
Many eastern people are buying
small tracts which they will i'm
mediately improve and convert in
to thrifty farms by planting orchards
and clearing off the timber.
Twenty-Five counties of the state
have filed copies of their assessment
rolls in the Office of the secretary Of
state The computation and appor-
tionment of the state levy of taxes
for 1889 will not probably be made
before December 18th.
When the territories of Washing
ton, Montana and Dakota are ad-
mitted as states, the importance of
the Pacific slope in national affairs
will be largely enhanced and will
more than ever attract the attention
of political managers.
Another transcontinental line is
coming this way. 1t begins with
the Illinois Central, going to Sioux
City, thence to Ogden and San
Francisco; also branching off for
Oregon with a view to connecting
with the Oregon Pacific.

Bill Watkinds owns a quarter in
terest in some coal mines in Linn
county. They are located on the
north fork of the Santiam, ten
miles from Lebanon. They are
within seven miles of the o. & G.
railroad and the same distance from
the narrow-gauge system. The
mine is twenty-five feet thick, and
]. H. Fisk, the analytic chemist,
says the coal is fifteen percent better
than the coal which is shipped in
such large quantities from Seattle.
The mines are located about 80 miles
south of Portland, and in a good
country where there is a good mar
ket for coal from railroads, etc. 1t
Is probable that the o. & c. railroad
would alone take the entire output
Of the mines. So says Watkinds.

A Big FiTe-The Franchise Granted
Death of Prominent Citizen.
Sour Grapes Anyway.

The Albany Democrat thinks all
this fussing and yelling and bonfire
building over the election Of eau
didate is great waste. Think of
the thousands of dollars spent in
"smoke" just for a glorification,
while there are ragged knees and
empty stomaches on every corner,
and poorly paid ministers and bad
sidewalks and empty treasures, and
so forth. On the other hand if the
present efficient president had been
reelected and they had a big jubi-
lation, they should have argued like
this: it buys cord wood of the POOR
man, kerosene of the merchant
gives employment to the laborer,
keeps the lucre on the go, it didn't
cost anything anyway, was all won
in bets, and if they didn't spend it
in yelling they wouldn't give it
away anyway, etc, etc. Really, it
is just human nature for the rooster
to crow when he has whipped
one.

MYSTERIOUS OUTRAGE.
VIllainous Attempt to Wreck a DistiIIery
by Dynamite.

VIllainous Attempt to Wreck q DistiIIery
by Dynamite.
CHICAGO. December 10th.-At 6:25 this
morning there was a tremendous explosion
at Schufeldt's distillery, corner Hawthorne
avenue and Larabee street, which smashed
the windows for blocks around and created
great CONSERVATION in the neighborhood.
1t was discovered that some one had
thrown two packages of dynamite con-
tanning seven sticks, each fourteen inches
long, on the roof of the store-roem. The
packages were filled with Illuminating caps
and fuse.
One package had exploded, tearing an
immense hole in the roof, and shooting
downward, had more or less damaged
fifteen barrels of spirits. The other pack
age, which lay about six feet from the hole
had failed to explode, as the fuse went out
before reaching the CAP.
There is no clue to the perpetrators of
the outrage, though IA suspicious circum-
stance is the fact that Schufeldt 6Co., are
the only distillers in Illinois who have
persistently refused to enter the Whisky
Trust, and there has been trouble Between
the firm and other members of the trust for
many months.
j. d. Lynch, Manager of the Schufeldt
Company, offers reward of S25, zoe for the
arrest of the person who threw the dyna-
mite on the distillery building, for the
name of the man who employed him to do
the work, or for such information &c will
Iced TO the detection and arrest of the
parties responsible for the outrage.
The members of the Whisky Trust ridi-
cuse the idea that the attempt to DESTROY
the .properiy.was the work. directly or ndi-
rectly, of their organization.
