The legislature has but eleven more
days to sit-and draw pay, and it is not
at all likely that the time will be exten-
ded. This means that every moment
must be utilized if really meritorious
bills are to receive attention. The
assessment law and the Australian ballot
law are most important general matters
and both of these are creating considera-
BILE d1ssension. Of the bills more of the
local character the portage railroad at
the locks, the district fair bill, the militia
Dill, and the wagon road bills lead in
Importance. Of course there will be
stacks of bills that will not be considered
that ought not to have been introduced
and these do not matter. Steady work
by the legislature in line with the
party plat forms will enable it to "clear
its docket in good shape, but we much
doubt the steady work being done.

The Union Pacific management have
held-now hold-the opinion that The
Dalles was unduly prejudiced against
them to the extent that they could not
get justice in this county. They should
recollect that while we complain of un-
just treatment at their hands, that their
business before the courts is another
matter. AS a matter of fact not one
fourth of the jury panel is drawn from
The Dalles, and it is an easy matter for
the company to get a jury from the
country at large if they so desire. We
do not believe there is citizen of The
Dalles who would allow his personal
feelings toward the company, if he had
any to influence his verdict as a Jury
man. We have too high regard for fair
play to allow our disputes over railroad
charges to lead us into being guilty of
that discrimination against which we
have been protesting.

The farmers Earnest PRAYER.
From the New York Evening Sun

from the New York Evening Sun.
."The funniest thing ever listened to,
said the Oldest parson in the group, 'swas
the prayer of sly old farmer in my first
congregation, hard-headed, hard listed
fellow, with strong sense of humor.
The old man was a mad free trader, and
1t happened that congress had lust passed
some highly protective measure, which
had brought down the heaviest dis
pleasure of this man. Very soon after
the passage of the bill the Nj. c., for our
district returned to his home in our
town for few days and came to PRAYER
meeting, as he always did. Old Farmer
X. was there also and saw his chance.
He couldn't argue with Congressman l..
because the congressman could beat him
out OF his boots at argument, and he
knew it. But he got up after while
and began to pray. He prayed for the
church and for foreign missions, and for
the president of the United States, and
then he gathered himself together for a
last effort. And now, Oh Lord. we
beseech Thee he said-then he hest
tated-'we would not put too hard a task
even for Omnipotence, but we do beseech
Thee, II Thou canst, put little common
sense into the heads of some of our legis-
lators.'
And. the little rustic and ripple of
amusement that came to his ears as he
sat down brought glow of proud graft
flcation to his face that all the consola-
t1ons OF religion had never produced. -

desirable clubbing arrangement furnished
by the Boston journal. Since the recent
enlargement and improvement in the Jour
nal it is easily the leading New England

entertaining reading. 1t is paper which
is up to the times in every respect. The
Weekly is furnished in connection with
The Phoenix at 45 cents, as heretofore,
while by an arrangement recently made
the Daily Journal may be had for only

the interests of Vermont, not only of its
newspapers, but of all its people. Let the

The report OF the supervising special

the expense for collecting the revenue from
customs in the district of Vermont for the
year ending June 30. 1891, To have been
the smallest for 10 year, past. it being 50
per cent less than the average of the pre-
yious eight years. The amount required
to collect a dollar in the district wa, only a
very small fraction over five rents, which
compares very favorably with the port at
tri>ticld, Md, where $40 was collected
by two men, whose expenses aggregated

lccted.

have spoken of the Grand Canon of
the Colorado as a gorge i'm which all other
famous gOrges could be lost. Some Of you
have ridden through the "Grand Canon of
the Arkansas" on the Denver and Rio

more have seen the White Mountain Notch
and the Franconia Notch in New Hamp-
shire All three are very beautiful and no.

ed in the wall Of the Grand Canon of the

called to chose scratches on the other
side before You would notice them at all.
II you were to take the tallcst mountain
east of the Rockies dig down around its
base two or three thousand feet, so a to
get to the sea level from which its height
is measuretD, uprOot the whole giant mass
and pitch it into the deepest part Of the
Grand Canon of the Colorado, its granite
top would not reach up 10 the dizzy crests
Of the cliffs which hem the awful bed Of
that great river. Ii YOU were on the
stream and New Nork's noble statue Of
Liberty Enlightcning the World were up
on the cliff, it would look like the tiniest
OF dolls and if it were across the canon
from YOU. You would need strong glass 10

The Grand Canon lies mainly in Arzo-
ma, though il touches also Utah. Nevada
and California. With its windings it is
nearly seven hundred miles long: and in
many places il j. over mile and quarter
deep. The width Of this unparalleled chasm
at the top is from eight to 20 miles: and
looked down upon from above, river
larger than the Hudson and five times as
long looks like silver thread The No-
semitic and the Yellowstone, wonderful as
they are in their prrcipices-and the world
outside of America cannot match those
wondrous vallcys-,arr babies beside this
peerless gorge. As Charles Dudley Warner
has said. There is nothing else on earth to
approach it..
The walls of the Grand Canon are in
most places not perpendicular, but seen
from in front they all appear to be. They
are mostly of sandstone but in places OF
marble and again Of volcanic rock; gener-
ally "terraced in a manner entirely pecu-
liar TO the Southwest and cleft into innu-
merable Duties, which seem towers and

noble than the hand OF man could ever
rear. And when the incifabr sunshine OF

The Food md menIth Ii,nnsition

at Boston was a surpris ny success, and shows
how interested the great public is in the question
Of pure and healthful food. No one article at the
exposition attracted the attention or created the
interest that Cottolene did. This new substitute
for lard evidently fills long-felt want aud the
demand for it is so great in New England that its
success is an established fact. Cottolene is a per
fecty pure and healthful product It is com.
posed Of 80 per cent pure cotton seed oil and 20
per cent pure beef suet-nothng else. II has no
odor and is more easily handled than lard, avoids
the unpleasant OdOr attached TO hot lard and bet
ter yet, avoids the unhealthy effects inseparable
from the use Of hog lard Persons who could not
eat pies or pastry cooked with hogs lard can eat
heartily Of these articles when cooked with Cot
tolene without fear of disagreeable consequences
Cottolene is put up in neat tin pals and is for sale
by all grocers.
