Awful. Had to tie his Hands to
Cradle. Cured by Cuticura.

Our little boy broke out on his head with
a bad form of eczema, when he was four
months old. We tried three doctors but
hey did not help him. We then used your
three CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and after using
them eleven weeks ex .ctly according to di-
rections. he began to steadily improve, and
lfter the use of them for seven months his
head was entirely we'll. When we began
using it his head was a solil sore from the
crown to his eyebrows. 1t was also over
his ears, most of his zee, and small places
on different ptrts of hi, body. There were
sixteen weeks that We had to keep his hands
tied to the cradle. and hold them when he
was taken up; anil had to keep mittens tie,i
Oh his hands to keep his finger nails out of
the sores, as he would scratch if he could
in any way get his hands loose We know

IT is estimated that the amount
OF money shipped out of the state
for grain bags reached mil
lion dollars for this years crop.
That was a heavy drain. How
much better it would have been to
have saved the money in the coun-
try by starting a bag factory at
the penitentiary instead of sending
the money to San Francisco for
100000 sacks.-Localizer.

The senate of the United 81 Sates
has passed the apportionment bill
just as it came from the house of
representatives, that is, fixing the
number of representatives at 356.
There were attempts made to gain
additional representation for Ar
kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and
New York, but these were defeat
ed. As the bill will go to the
president it gives one more new
member of each of the following
states: Alabama, California, Geor-
gia. Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Caro-
hna, South Dakota, Texas, Yer

Or total Of $4,000 in bushels
of wheat and oats for the year,
besides there was 10000 bushels
of grain stored at Philomath and
a large amount at Wells Station
which might be called tributary to
the Willamette. These figures
only show the amount of grain
stored in the southern half Of the
county Immediately tributary to
the river. Thus when the tonnage
of merchandise is added to this it
shows that a large amount of
freight is handled just in this
small section adjoining the river.
During 1889 the tons carried by
the Oregon Pacific steamers were
$4,000 and the independent
lines probably carried as much
more which would bring the ton
mage of freight handled On the up
per Willamette up to about $4,000
or 1000 tons with the river in its
present condition.

to his particular needss The man
who can solve this problem will

WILLIAM WINDOM.

The announcement of the deatl
of Secretary Window was read al
over the United States with feel
ling of keen regret. The sense O.
painful surprise will be followed
by one of profound sorrow. Every
citizen will be conscious of the
national bereavement. We are
entering upon a crisis in public
affairs with which few of our states
men are so fitted to cope as the
one who is now taken from US. 1t
was in matters of finance that Sec
retary Window was particularly
skilled. His mind was naturally
drawn to such subjects, and he had
studied them profoundly. He was
an established authority upon the
subject, and now that the reorgan-
ization of the public financial sys
tenn is rapidly becoming the most
momentous issue of the time, his
counsel and direction are particu
larly needed. His death, there
fore. falls at period when his loss
will be felt as a national misfor-
tune of far greater magnitude than
it would have been considered at
any other time.
William Window was born in
Belmont county, Ohio, May 10.
1927. He received an academic
education, studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1850. In
1853 he removed to Minnesota
and was elected as representative
from that state to the Thirty
sixth congress. His political
career was a most successful one.
and he was reelected to every sue
cessive congress until 1870, when
he entered the senate. He con-
tinued to hold the office of Senator
until 1881, when he became Secre-
tary of the Treasury. In this Of.
flee his great talents were conspic-
uously displayed and he won a
high reputation as fnancler. AT
the the close of his term as a
cabinet officer he was again
chosen to the senate, and upon the
election of Harrison was once
more placed in charge of the
Treasury.
In his financial administration
Secretary Window was always
careful and conservative. Though
a Western man he always had the
confidence Of the money centers of
the East, and was one of the few
men in whom both the farmers
and Wall street trusted. He was
frequently spoken of as a candi-
date for the presidency and could
at all times had the vote of his
state for this high office. While
he was never a brilliant man as an
orator, the solidity of his mind, his
thorough knowledge of the subject
upon which he spoke, and his un-
doubted honesty and patriotism of
purpose gave to his words weight
and significance more convincing
than those of many a more elo-
quent man. His death leaves a
vacancy in the national councils
which will be hard to fill. But
few statesmen of his generation
survive him, and he goes to his
rest full of years and honors amid
the mourning of the great people
he so faithfully served.-San Jose
Mercury.

The Bermudas are a group of
small islands belonging to Great
Britain, and their commerce is so
limited that we doubt if one in ten
Americans can name an import or
product except Bermuda onions.
Yet the colonial government of
this significant group pays subsi-
dy of $17, 500 annually to steam
ship line running between Nassau
and New York, which is about
twelve times the sum that is doled
out from the overflowing treasury
of the United States to the Ameri-
can mail line to Cuba and Mexico.

THE UPPER WILLAMETTE.

Of the $11 600 appropriated by
congress for the improvement ol
the Upper Willamette the only
portion of this sum that has yet
been expended for improving the
river above the falls IS small sum
for surveying a bend in the river
near Corvallis where the current
threatens to cut a new channel.
Yet it is reported that the appro-
priation or the greater part of it
has been used up. Where has it
been used? Major Handbury in
formed the committee appointed
by the State Board of Commerce
to confer with him concerning the
improvement of the Willamette
"that it has been used in building
and equipping a snag boat" The
boat will now probably be used
for the improvement of some other
river, or lay idle until another ap-
preparation is made. Thus it
seems that the entire appropria-
ton has Indirectly been diverted to
more favored localities, and the
Upper Willamette has apparently
received little or no benefit from
it. Be this as it may the people
living tributary to the Willamette
are justly entitled to more consid-
Grafton than they have yet re-
ceived at the hands of the govern
ment and its officers, and their ap-
peals through their boards of trade
should be listened to. 1t would
only require small amount COM
pared to that asked for improving
other rivers in Oregon and Wash
ington to make the Willamette
navigable for the entire season
to Corvallis, and to Harrisburg
the greater part of the season.
Senator Hirsch, of Marion, has
introduced a joint memorial, which
will without doubt pass, asking
congress for an appropriation of
100000 for this improvement.
The memorial should not be pigeon
holed but our delegation in con-
gress should urge withe all conssi-
tency possible that the appropria-
ton be made. Some idea of the
traffic of the upper Willamette can
be gained by the report of the
State Board of Commerce which
gives the tonnage of grain stored in
the various warehouses along the
river, at Corvallis and to the south
line of Benton county for the year
1890.

The PalnstakIng French Soldier.

The Painstaking French Soldier.
1t is said that French soldier, sta
TONED at picture gallery, had strict
orders to allow no one to pass with
out first depositing his walking stick.
A gentleman came with his hands in
his pocket. The soldier, taking him
by the arm said: "Citizen where is
your stick?" ~ have no stick"
"Then you will have to 90. back and
get one before can allow you to
pass" AS this man read his orders,
the intention was that, as prelimin-
DRY to inspecting the gallery, every
body was to deposit stick-not that
those who had stick should not be
allowed to carry it with them into the
gallery.

to smile, and soon her smiles expand
ed into a broad grin, and now and
again she burst into loud laughter.
The clergyman, quite shocked at this
unbecoming levity, at length asked
"What makes you smile?" No an
swer, and still she smiled. "If you
don't tell me at once what you see to
smile at will shut the book and stop
the proceedings" At length she mus
tered courage to speak.
"Well, sir, you see it's queer"
