WATER IN DISEASE.

1t Is Entitled to Occupy High Place as
| a Remedial Agent.
| 1t would seem that everybody ought
10 know the value of remedy so easily
Sbtained as water. Yet, though there
is no remedy of such general application
and none SO easily attainable as water,
nine persons in ten will pass by it in an
emergency to seek for something of less
efficacy. There are but few cases of
illness where water should not occupy
the highest place as remedial agent.
A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water and
wrung out and then applied around, the
neck of child that has Group will
usually bring relief in ten minutes. A
towel folded several times, dipped in
hot water wrung out and then applied
over the seat of the pain in the tooth
ache or neuralgia will generally afford
prompt relief. This treatment in collie
works like magic. We have known
cases that have resisted other treatment
for hours yield in ten minutes to
this. There is nothing that will SO
pl omptly cut short congestion of
the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as
hot water when applied promptly and
throughly. Pieces of cotton batting
dipped in hot water and kept applied to
old sores and new cuts, bruises and
sprains is the treatment now generally
adopted in hospitals Sprained ankle
has been cured in an hour by showering
it with hot water, poured from height
OF three feet. Tepid water acts prompt
ly as an emetic, and hot water taken
freely half an hour before bed time is
the best Of cathartics in case of consti-
patton, while it has most soothing ef-
feet on the stomach and bowels.
In this connection it is interesting tc
know that a distinguished children's
doctor believes, from his practice, that
infants generally. whether brought up
at the breast or artificially, are not sup.
piled with sufficient water, the fluid
portion of their food being quickly taken
up and leaving the solid too thick to be
easily digested. In warm, dry we ather
healthy babies will take water every
hour with advantage, and their fre.
1uent fretfulness and rise of temper are
ften due to their not having it. A free
supply of water and restricting the fre-
qnency of nursing have been found al
the nursery to be most effectual check
in cases of incipient fever, diminished
rate of mortality and marked reduction
in the number of gastric and intestinal
being attributed to this

IF HE WANTS LAND LET HIM
COME TO WASCO.

That faithful old correspondent, GA
Reader" in yesterdays Oregonian says:
"Will you please inform me where to ap-
ply to learn where government land can
be obtained in Oregon, and what steps
are necessary to procure it?" The Ore
gonidn refers him to the surveyor gen.
eral, and though we do not fill that office
we will volunteer little information
for the inquirer. There is an abundance
of government land in Wasco county,
from twenty to fifty miles from The
Dalles and lying along the Dischules
river. The soil is frst-class, it being
one5of the best portions of the county,
and only remaining vacant because as
yet it is rather remote from the railroad.
This will be remedied in short time
and the land will be among the most
valuable in the county. Parties desiring
to make homes for themselves on gov
ernment land cannot do better than to
come to The Dalles and take look at
our country. The land officers here
will furnish all information necessary
as to the means of acquiring the land.

DUFUR, Or, Dec. II, 1890.
To the Editor of the Ceronicle. 80. =
KIND SIR We, returned yesterday
from your town to the beautiful, bright,
energetic, bustling suburban city of
Dufur. We had rather chilly exper-
ience on our return as the air was cold
and frosty, but we found our people as
usual, full of bright hopes, and our city
the infantile palatial city of our hearts
desire.
Our pleasure loving people are elooking
forward to the festivities of the yearly
holidays, among which perhaps the
most attractive feature will be the exc
cutting by the Dufur Dramatic Club of
that time -honored and truth-vindicating
drama "Paul Pry' which the Club have
been practicing upon for some weeks,
under the able management of Prof.
Frazier. The drama will be followed by
the comic little farce ''My Turn Next"
The object of the Club is to add a new
phase to the amusements of our city as
well as to bring out and cultivate that
self confidence that is a necessary ad-
jenct to good education. And last but
not least in their purposes is the desire
to raise means to encourage and foster
our public schools, that they may be-
come an honor to our young and grow
ing metropolis.
There are also the usual amount of
arrangements being made for good
time on Christmas. A large attendance
is expected at the drama at Bohna's 8

PORTLAND wants $500, 900 for custom

Our Visitors.

After dinner yesterday our Portland
visitors took carriages for North Dalles
and were present at the opening of the
shoe shop. They returned in time to
enjoy ride through our city, and were
all astonished at the evidences of thrift,
business and wealth which met their
eyes. Mr.. F. S. Webster, of the Cleve-
land Oil and Paint works, and Mr.. E. F.
Sox, of Albany, the queen city of the
Willamette, both expressed surprise at
the number and stocks of our business
houses, and the vast volume of business
which they quickly detected was done
here. Mr.. Webster said that from what
he had read of The Dalles he expected
to find corpse, but it was the healthi
est and ivliest corpse he had ever seen.
Mr.. Sox said our merchants carried as
large if not larger stocks than those of
his city, although they prided them
selves on being second only to Portland.
These gentlemen expressed the senti-
ment of the entire crowd, but like them
could not understand where our trade
came from. 1t is safe to say that The
Dalles stands much higher in the esti-
nation of every one of our visitors, and
it is quite certain that Western Oregon
is but poorly informed as to the resour-
ces and capabilities of this side of the
mountains. The train pulled out al
5 o'clock bearing happy party who had
enjoyed their visit and entered on their
mental tablets the note that The Dalles

DEATH UNDER THE WHEELS.

A Boy Ground to Death wednesday After
noon on the Cambria Tracks Il short
Distance Above the Gas Works.
Wednesday afternoon at about twenty
minutes OF four o'clock boy named
John Lavely, whose home is in Miners
vile, was crushed to death under the
wheels of the tool car and three " jun
mys" or bumpers. After the accident
the boy, who was employed as tool boy
to Pat Connell's force of trackmen, lived
about fifteen minutes, most of the time
gasping for breath.
The boy was at work with his crew OF
men, and, having a few spare minutes, he
jumped upon the engine Wildcat,
which was moving the four cars men
toned above. After riding some distance
he attempted t) get off and in doing so
he slipped and fell under the wheels OF
the cars, which passed over his body,
cutting him in two about the middle.
Some say his clothing caught and he was
dragged under. A few movements OF
his arms and some gasping for breath
were all the signs of life after the acci
dent. Death followed in few minutes
Shortly after the boy expired his re-
mains were taken to the Gas Company's
tool house, where they lay till word wa:
sent to his folks, in Minersvilie, About
O'Clock they were taken home.
The boy made his home with hi'
mother and his step-father, Isaac Bcr
ringer, of Minersville, HIS age was abou
fourteen years.

WORKING FOR CONSOLIDATION.
New York Wishing to Take In all surround
ing Cities.


Ing Cities.
OF late there has been decided move
on the part of New York City to swallow
up, or rather consolidate with all the
surrounding cities and towns.
A prominent New York man was in
terviewed in Pittsburgh the other day on
the subject. lie said:
New York, 10y This consolidation, will
simply be following in the footsteps of
Chicago, Paris and Boston, by taking In
her suburbs. The thing has been agita-
ted time and again, and the idea origina
ted with Mr.. Andrew II. Green about
twenty years ago. Brooklyn, Long Is
land City and Staten Island are prac,i-
cally the homes Of million and half uf
New Workers,
"The population is a homogeneous one,
and The interests of all the people are
identical. The advantage is to be gained
from the consolidation is not by any
means greatness of population, but the
furtherance of the best interests of the
city. The mode of government of the
cities named is exactly the same. The
police, fire and health departments and
regulations are identical with New York,
and it is one great government, with sew
eral administrations and different sets of
officers.
"Of course, one thing to be con-
tended against in the scheme of consoli-
dation will be the opposition that will be
met from the office holders. Now, the
Mayors office in Brooklyn pays salary
of So 900, and then there are other offices
in his gift which pay large salaries. The
men holding these places will, of
course, fight hard TO keep the admiuistra-
lions separate and keep the offices TO
themselves, but if consolidation be-
comes an assured fact, it
will only be the heads of the departments
who will have TO go, the same number of
assistants will have to be maintained.
Until twenty years ago the police depart
ments of New York and Brooklyn were
one body ard under one head ; now,
however, they are separate. think that
the consolidation will take place in a few
years"

not dangerous, wound on the right side
of the crown of the head. He at once
started for DIR. w. y. Lowman's Office,
soon becoming weak from the loss OF

HUNTINGDON. March 19.-For the first
time in three years petitions were pre-
sented 10 the Huntingdon court for IL
cense to sell liqnor. Under three years
of nominal prohibition speak-easies +"
and private drinking clubs have sprung
up all over that town and county, with
membership numbering into the hun

This coming 10 the attention of Judge
Furst became the text for very pointed
and vigorous structure on the prohibi-
lion advocates, who he accused of being
responsible for its existence. at seems"
said he, " that prohibition in this county
encourages The creation and maintenance
OF speak-easies and private drinking
establishments and the increase in the
drinking Of liquor"
Judge Fnrst is in favor of the grant
ing of license to responsible persons, but
as the same Associate Judges who over
ruled him three years ago are still on the
bench, favorable decision on the pres
ent applications is hardly TO be expected.

A SoreIY Afflicted Family.

On Saturday morning Mr.. Henry Freid-
hoff died at his home, in Munster town.
ship, about half a mile south of the viii
lage of Munster. His aiment was con
sumption, from which he was long and
patient sufferer. Mr.. Freidhoff was a
farmer by occupation and was held in
high esteem by all who knew him, COM
ing as he did from one of the
oldest and most highly respected
families in the community in which
he lived. Tbs funeral will take place
this ft trenoon, when a high mass of re.
quiem will be said in st. Michaels
Church and interment will be made in the
Catholic Cemetery at Loretto.
Mr.. FreidholT S death would have been
sad at any time, but owing to other cir
cumstances it is severe blow to his
friends and relatives. He was a brother
of Mrs Oswald, of this city, who lost
her husband and several members of the
family in the food and had a miraculous
escape herself. On Christmas day au-
other sister, Mrs. Michael Thomas, Of Al
legheny township, died, and on March
9th the wife of his brother Nicholas, for
merly Miss Alice Kaylor, departed this
life. So much grief to one circle of rela'
tives is seldom crowded into such short
space of time

On Sunday afternoon the frame Mctho-
dist church building at Besano, this
county, was burned to the ground. The
funeral Of the late Samuel Reed had left
the church but short time before it was
discovered to be on fire. The fire had too
much headway to be checked and the
building was consumed. 1t is thought
that the fire originated from the stove
pipe, as it is known to have been some
what defective. 1t has not been learned
whether the building was insured or not.

rhe EmhnnI,ment CompIeted.

Soon after the Cambria Iron Company
got things in good running order after the
food they began constructing an embank-
mcnt Of cinder along the south bank of
the Conemaugh, commencing at the gas
works and proceeding up the river. Some
time after they began about opposite
the lower end of Woodyale bor-
ough and proceeded downward along
the stream. The two have met
and now form sohd cinder dyke, as il
would be called in Holland, over half a
mile long. It is about fifteen feet in
height and wide enough TO accommodate
two tracks on the top. 1t would seem
to be strong enough to resist any high
water unless another reservoir should be
built above 1t with a soft clay bank tc
hold it back.

In addition to the improvements at the
Pennsylvania Railroad passenger station,
noted in these columns a few days ago,
work was commenced yesterday on an
extension of the platform. 1t will be made
to extend straight across fromihe E&ar of
the Adams Express office to the baggage
room. This will be quite an improve
ment, giving much more room and avoid
ing the small corner between the Express
office and the station buting. 1t is stated
that new and larger baggage room will
also hc another improvement before long.

ing himself in behalf of the Congrega-
tional Church in this city, visited Pitts
burgh for the purpose of soliciting aid for
his brethren here. He had remarkable
success, securing about $500. The men,
bers here feel very grateful to their Pitts

worthy purpose has ever presented itself.
The church lost heavily in property, be-
sides its minister and many members.

The following telegram appeared in the
Pittsburgh papers yesterday from this
city A syndicate Of Pittsburgh capital
lists has purchased the timber of 5000
acres near this place, the price
paid being S35O,OO). It is the in
tention of the purchasers to erect
logging railroads through the property,
to construct saw-mills and putthe lumber
on the market this summer. 1t is esti-
mated that 40, ,0OO,O feet of lumber will
be produced. There was never known in
this locality such a scarcity of pine lum.
