and justly decided upon; and,
further, that we have confidence in
the good sense and judgment of our
county court in the matter.
After the resolution had been
adopted Daniel" from Woodburn
begged to be allowed to say a few
words, which was granted. He took
the floor and for few minutes
abused the meeting, stormed the
chairman, declared that several IN
the meeting had trampled upon
him and that after all he had done
for their good. this was the thanks
he had received and with loud cry
of "Oh! ye sons of iniquity," he
made desperate grab for his linen
duster and hat and made grand
rush for the door amid hiss
es and groaning. The bridge
subject was brought up and as
the shades of night were approach
ing no time was had to discuss the
matter to any great length, so a
committee of 80 persons, 10 from
Marion and the same number from
Linn, were appointed to meet at
Jefferson on Christmas day and dis
cuss the matter at greater length.
The JOURNAL is happy to note
the good sense and judgment used at
the meeting. The bridge at Jeffer-
son should be built and it will be
constructed just as soon as possible
without doubt. The bridge will
prove of great advantage to both
counties and the city of jefferson is
pushing ahead fast and deserve con-
sidera ton from. the hands of tie
people.

AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT.
The Chemical Purity Of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder.

Ine CHEMICAL Purlty oil the Royal bak-
ing Powder.
For some time past the question
of purity in baking powders h $
formed quite a feature of newspa-
per discussions and eminent doctors
of philosophy have given opinions
as to the ingredients which COM
pose many of the articles sold un-
der that name. The Investigations
have narrowed down to the limit
which awards the Royal Baking
Powder the palm of purity, and the
most distinguished scientists have
testified not only that no eXtrane-
Gus or deletcrious matter enters into
its composition, but that its use is
positively healthful, making as it
does, lighter, sweeter and more di-
gestible food. The Royal Baking
Powder Company have achieved a
worldwide reputation for the sue
cess which has marked their pre-
paration of cream of tartar for bak-
ing purposes. 1t is indisputably
shown that they have eliminated all
elements of tartrate of lime, alum or
other impurities, and present to the
public a healthful and chemically
pure article. The U. S. government
chemists and Others widely known
have verified its superiority over
other manufacturers, and testified,
through practical experience, to its
excellence. 1t is well for families to
observe tine fact that it costs more to
manufacture the Royal Baking
Powder than any other, but it is, as
shown by chemical analysis, the only
"absolutely pure' baking powder
made,

A PERFECT SUCCEss.-Saturday
evening the opera house was COM
fortably seated with well pleased
audience. The occasion was the
first appearance in this city of the
famous colored jubilee singers. The
programme rendered by this com.
pany was highly entertaining and
elicted much applause. "Ding Dong
Bell" as sung by Miss Chin, was u
very fine rendition. The Quartette
"Come Where the Lilies Bloom" I"
was fine selection and rendered by
these splendid singers, was very en-
tertaining indeed. George Conley
was the hero of the evening In sing
ing his comic selections, which, to
say the least, were simply immense.
This celebrated company give their
last performance In the opera house
this (MOnday) evening. Don't fail
to hear them. An entire change of
programme promised.

STILL THEY COME.
The FrOzen-out Inhabitants of the East
Look TO Oregon for Comfortable
and Pleasant Homes.

Prof. X. ii. Willis, of The Dalles
Academy, in recent letter, pub
lished in the Virginia Orange OBJ
server says: | see your Texas cor
respondents glowing letter about
the advantages of the "Lone Star
State" and it suggests to me to
write something about Oregon.
There is now an immense tide of
immigration to Oregon and Wash
ington, several thousand per day for
some time during the summer, but
probably little less now. The cold
climate of the northern tier of states
from Dakota east drives thousand Of
persons to seek the balmy breczcs
of the Pacific slope, and really, i is
hard to find climate more pleas
ant than this. The winters and
summers are short and mild, and
the springs and autumns are long.
Last winter we had here less than
three inches of snow in all, that was
an unusually mild wiuter. Gener-
ally there is snow enough for sleigh
| ing once or twice.. e. in Eastern
Oregon and Washington. West of
the Cascade mountains snow is un-
common.
The Pacific coast is not low and
swampy, like the Atlantic, but the
mountains come right down into
the ocean, and hence there is
scarcely any malaria.
Oregon is fine state for grain,
fruit ana stock-raising; aud great
deal of money is made here from
each of these occupations. Grain
and stock are raised in nearly all
parts of the state, and fruit raising is
also quite eXtensive; but in the
Willamette valley in Western Ore
gOn, for one hundred miles north
and south of Salem, is said to be
the paridise of fruit-grOwers.
This business has not been devel-
oped here yet, as it has been'in Cali
fornia; and fruit lands whose real
value are equal to those of California,
command II comparatively small
price. During my travels in Cali
fornia last year | found unimproved
fruit land generally selling at 500 to
5000 per acre, while in the William
ette valley of Oregon it is now worth
$40 to $50 per acre.
There is an immense profitin these
lands, when the fruit is produced.
and people are now taking ad.
vantage of this here and setting out
large orchards of prunes, pears, cher
ries, plums, peaches and apples. In
California an acre of good fruit-land
with trees five years old is worth
from $500 to $1,000 i'm u fair location;
and this Is not unreasonable, when Il
single crop from this acre sells at
5000 to $400.
The same profit can be made in
Oregon from the fruit, and in the
increased value of the land far
greater profit; because lands in Ore
gon are so much below California
prices. In Oregon prunes and Bart
lett pears are most profitable, since
both command u good price and
bear shipment well.
The Pacific coast prunes are great
Iy superior to Others raised in our
country, and hence the demand tor
them in Eastern markets.
1t is safe To say that farmer here
can easily make IS where he can
make III in Virginia, and so other
classes of industrial workers and
nearly all professional men here are
better paid than on the Atlantic
slope or Mississippi valley. These
practical advantages together with
the grand scenery make this section
wonderfully attractive.

teen pupils, are in the city to-day

They came to make purchases for

for the pupils than ever before, the
average being from 20 to 100 per

EPOCH,

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
ters. So many feel they owe their res-
toration to health, to the use of the great
alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys. liver or
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle
