The Oregonian makes the following
comments on the article which ap-
peared in these columns:
A few days ago the Orego.eian said:

Which The Dalles TINES Noun
TANNER reprints and adds this conf
ment:
"The proposition of the Oregonia'a is
true as gospel; but why does the edi-
tor particularly mention Salem and
Albany; two cities directly tributary
to it, and completely ignore Pendleton
with two live dailies and Astoria with

every one who has noticed the atti-

ture. Portland favors Eastern Ore
gon only as far as it can be used, and
no farther. The Willamette valley
must deal in Portlani's markets, and
for that reason it will do all it can to
stimulate its growth"
This Is forced. narrow and unfair.
In brief paragraph the Oregonia'a
noted the progress of Salem and AL
bany as indicated by the appearance of
their newspapers. Its purpose was to
make paragraph, not an elaborate ar
ticle. At the moment the two journals
mentioned happened to lie before the
writer, and the paragraph was the re-
suit. 1t was not thereby intended to
say or intimate that other towns and
their newspapers were not also doing
finely. Other towns, as Astoria, Pen
dleton, Baker City and The Dalles,
also have daily papers that indicate
their growth and prosperity. To all
these towns ii. Oregon, and to as many
in Washington, the remrrk made about
Salem AMI Albany would apply, and
with equal fitness. The TINES Noun

it every day, and find it doing its full
duty in behalf Of it's town and county.
There is no surer proof of the rapid
Of the Northwest than
the fact that so many good daily news
papers are now published at places
where, few years ago, dailies were
not published at all.
We desire to deal justly with other
portions of the state, and will not
knowingly place any paper in wrong
position. Daring the past few
since the failure of our harvest
we have Loticed that the press of west
ern Oregon have taken especial pains
to put cur misfortunes in the worst
light possible, and we have not been
In any manner delicate about speaking
of the fact. As regards the Oregonia'a
we acknowledge its supremacy in the
but we cannot pass ightly
over its attitude towards Eastern Ore
gon. For years it opposed the con-
of the locks at the Cascades,
and apparently ignores any and every
point east of the Cascade mountains.
The evidences of this have been accu-
for long time, and it is no
matter of recent occurrence. We
hope and desire that the great journal,
The peer of anything in the northwest,
will take more liberal and extended
views of Oregon, and not confine itself
% the narrow limits of the Willamette
valley.

A communication from a prominent
citizen in this issue advocates TIE
formation of an immigration bureau,
and this is the most advisable scheme
that could be inaugurated. There is
no denying The fact that, if the people
east knew the advantages of our eli
mate and the opportunities we have of
making homes to those who are seek
ing that borne, every season would
witness an influx of immigrants into
our midst that have not been equalled
anywhere in the northwest. The
Dalles, by nature, is favored with the
most desirable climate. most prolific
soil and commercial advantages not
claimed Ly any point in the northwest,
and is point IN which the western
man can make a home. These
facts are not generally known, and
the immigration bureau, advocated by
our correspondent, would spread them
broadcast. Let US lose no time in
forming this adjunct to our growth.

PROTECTION TO sHEEH.

WASHINGTON. Dec. AT the national
wool growers meeting a committee TO
prepare an address to the wool l-growers of
the United States was appointed.
Columbus Delano, of Ohio, president of
the national ASSOCIATION, delivered the an
nual address. He said both food aud
clothing should be raised at home, not
purchased from abroad, when the people
who consume them have facilities for
their production. Influenced by the act
of 1885," he continued, 'wool-growing
languishes throughout The United States,
and without relief must soon perish.
The Texas wool clip of 1888 was valued
at SIS, ,22S, ,234; in 1887 it was $5,016,674,
showing loss of $4,211, $50. Is it de-
sirable to extingulse the industry best
adapted to this vast section under the
cry of free trade or free wool7 Under
the influence of the act of 1883 our an
nual clip has been reduced 55.00O,0O0
pounds, while it should have increased at
the rate of 2 per cent. annually to keep
pace with the natural growth of the
country. Those who favor free trade as
our true policy, add no protest against
free wool. If it be free trade, let US have
1t as a system, pure and simple, without
the adulteration of duplicity under the
name of Incidental protection Let us
do one or the other, and have an econo-
mic policy that is entitled to an honest
and correct name. A tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection, is delusion
and fraud. We need national policy
on this subject, honestly named. If pro.
lection, let it be general and uniform,
all American industries that
can be profitably pursued by our people,"
At the conclusion of the address, the
meeting adjourned aud the delegates IN

tary Rusk. Their brief interview with

MR.. r. GRINSTEAD, Sonora, KY, says
My children have sometimes had boils

Mr.. RUSSELL MYRICK, of the firm f
Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark,
says he wishes to add his testimony to
the thousands which have already been
given as to Swift's Specific. He says he
derived the most signal benefit from its
use to cure painful boils and sores result
ting from impure blood.
WHEN taken for a few days, potash
mixtures impair the digestion, take away
the appetite and dry up the gastric Jul
ces which should assist in digesting and
assimilating the food. Swift's Specific
has just the opposite effect; it improves
digestion, brings appetite and builds up
the general health.
