WILL BE TRUE.

It is scarcely twenty-five years since
John P. Hale, IN the United States
senate chamber, delivered the memo
rable assertion that, "the child is now
living who will see this country con-
tain population of one hundred mil
lions" In view of the fact that the
then population was less than thirty
five millions, the prediction certainly
sounded somewhat visionary. And
and yet quarter of a century later
shows that one half of the gap has
already been covered, and even chlld-
rem who were "of larger growth" when
Mr.. Hale spoke, may have reason
able expectation of seeing it closed.
Perhaps the census of 1919 will closely
approximate the "even total" An in
teresting estimate on this basis might
now be made as to what section of the
country will receive the largest pro-
portionate share of this increase. The
opinion that is based upon the wish,
is possibly an inaccurate conclusion,
but we may join our neighbors in the
belief that Oregan and Washington
will, at that date, each certainly
possess and probably will exceed one
million of prosperous and contented
inhabitants And the further exami-
nation of the subject induces the opin-
ion that much the largest percentage
of this national growth will be found
in the newly admitted states, and prob
ably more than one half the increase
will be found west of the Mississippi
river. We had almost said west of
the Missouri, for Minnesota, Iowa and
Missouri are no longer the recipients of
extensive IMMIGRATION. In fact Iowa,
once regarded as the gem of the west,
has scarcely held her own during the
last decade. The young men of to-
day, both individually and collectively,
have rich prizes within their reach.

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE

Ia the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inhamitory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that fine preventive, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary suf-
fering is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and
sedatives, while having none but a specific
are yet very desirable at times. Yet they
can produce no lastingeffect upon rheuma-
tism, because they have no power to elimin.
ate from the blood the rheumatic virus.
H"stetter's Stomach Bittets does this, and
checks at the outset disease which. If al
lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos-
sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is a
disease with fatal tendency from its prone
ness to attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys-
pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner-
vousness are relieved by it. mi.

IN Unsafe LEADER.

The next day after the late elections
in the east some one interviewed ex-
President Cleveland upon the causes of
its results, and, in his pompous way, he
says sit is evident that the leaven of tar
if reform has at last leavened the whole
lump. The people have considered
and passed judgment"
Let's sec; Massachusetts was the
only state where the tariff was an I'M
porta,t issue in this election, and it
went republican by good majority. 1t
is quite evident that the ex-president is
anxious to have the people think that he
is the only true priest and apostle of
tariff reform and thAe it is the single
issue of every election. And yet the
people refuse to think just MS he desires
them. Local issues are always domi-
nant in :"off year" elections and it is
case of voting for men rather than fol-
parties. This.Mr Cleveland fails to see
and it places him as an unsafe prophet
and leader fol the democrats to have
faith in or to follow.
No doubt, about next June, Oregon
will show up republican governor
to take the seat made vacant by Mr..
Pennoyer's time expiring and another
republican member of congress will
also be chosen, then Mr.. Cleveland
can talk some more about the result
of his preachings on tariff reform.

an observation of thirty-eight boys of all
classes of society and of average health. who
had been using tobacco for from two months
to two years, tweaty-seven showed serious
injury to the constitution and checked
physical development Thirty-two showed
damage done to the hearts action. dis
ordered digestion and a craving for alcohol.
Thirteen had intermittencyof the pulse and
one had consumption After the abandon
Uent of tobacco, within six months one-half
were free from all the above symptoms and
the remainder were cured by the end of the
year. The Maoris are given as an instance
of the evil resulting from tobacco. This
race was, when first discovered, the finest
developed Of any tribe on the Pacific. II IS
now decimated in number and degenerate
in type. This is said TO be owing to their
inorlinate fOndness for tobacco.

located in wild and beautiful mountain re-

have always been living places, occupied
by from one thousand FIVE hundred 10 four
