OREGON MUST BE IN THE SHOW

III
On June 10th next meeting will be
held in Portland to devise ways and
means to raise funds to enable Oregon
to make a suitable exhibit at the world g
fair. Each county in the state is invited
to send from one to five delegates. As
Oregon cannot afford to sit like bump
on log or. become laughing stock for
the whole country we fondly hope the
meeting will be success and that
Wasco will not be behind in the county
procession. We have little doubt after
all that if 1000 were raised by the
coming meeting in whatever way it
would go as far as double that sum
would have done if it had been appro-
priated by the state and the method of
expenditure left in the hands of COM
mission appointed by the politicians.
When we read that Washington, Colo
rado, West Virginia and Ohio have ap-
propriated $10O, 900 each that Missouri
has appropriated $15O,OOO and expects
to double that sum; that California will
give 100000 and Illinois round million
we feel our cheeks burning with very
shame at the thought that Oregonshould
not be represented. We have have no
desire to see the show if Oregon is not in

The following advertisement; published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin:
"Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure sever cold? We viii tell
you. To cure cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in NATURES way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off .by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is a thin white coating on the
tongue What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
and be convinced" Fifty cent bottles for

Danger in Paper MONEY.

Passing from hand to hand among all
classes of the people, it would be strange
indeed if money, and especially paper
money, did not IN its transit become
from time to time the vehicle of in
fictitious disease. Even the crisp Esfiver''
of the Bank of England no doubt has
often borne the germs of fever in its
folds, and how much more then the
greasy, discolored and well thumbed 81
note, or the paper fraction of some
foreign currencies. Higher values have
here distinct advantage. Less com
mon, less in keeping of the overcrowded
poor, less handled and soiled, therefore
they may perhaps in many cases run
their circuit without having done much
mischief .ls,.,..a
There are, indeed, preeervative cir
cumstances which guard the sanitary
credit of all paper currency. One is the
very freedom of circulation and the ven
tilation this insures. Smoothness of sur.
face is another. and a third, which oper-
ates in a minor degree, is found in the
fact that not children are chiefly con
cerned in the business Of exchange.
These qualifications my suffice to Justify,
at least by a negative verdict, the en-
ployment Of paper money from q sani-
tary standpoint. "ss - Sui@fs =,
Still q certain risk remains, and care
full persons will do we'll to note this and
on occasion to disinfect even their bank
notes. The danger, such as it is, should
also, IN our opinion, be allowed some
weight in deciding the question whether
small note currency, hitherto not found
to be indispensable, should or should not
be generally adopted. Lancet.

Devil Bird of L. sounr,er.,

The bird called the ...devil bird of
La Souffnere" by both Labat and Du-
tertre, has webbed feet like duck or a
goose and claws like bird of prey, a
sharp and curved bill, and large eyes.
which cannot bear the light of day.
When surprised in the daytime alta dis
tance from its nest it will run or fly
against everything in its way. Father
Dutertre, in his description Of Guade-
loupe, where the volcano of La Souf-
friere is situated, says that the natives
call the bird by name which means
.tdevil, and that they do so on account
of a popular belief among them that
the bird nests in the very crater of the
VOLCANOES at a place inaccessible to man,
among the melting lava and sulphurons
fumes. Father Dutertre finishes his
account Of the devil bird in these words:
there we have a bird of wonderful and
surprising ingenuity, which fishes by the
light of a-volcano and matches its eggs
by the warmth of its gaseous discharges. /"

Propagating Lobster. ArtiaoIasly.

-
The first experiments IN artificial
propagation of Holsters were made sim
ply in glass jars with sea water that was
changed daily. Even under these pri1ni-
tive conditions the newly hatched fry
thrived and grew to be of some size and
healthy. Any one who desires to rear
Holsters by hand can accomplish the pur-
pose most quickly by keeping the spawn
bearing females in suitable ponds or
tanks until the young come out. In
raising the animals on large scale,
however, it would be best to separate
the eggs from the lobster and spread
them upon trays, allowing the water to
percolate among them, as is done with
salmon eggs. By this method much
trouble would be avoided, as well as the
expense of feeding the adult hen lob
sters
There IS no reason apparent wherefore
the same success should not be obtained
with Holsters as has been achieved with
salmon, which have been made to swarm
once more by myriads in streams depop-
ulated by imprudent fishing. Already
the Holsters on the North Atlantic coast
are rapidly vanishing, and unless meas
ures are soon taken for supplying their
place by artificial propagation there will
be none left Apparently, however, it
will be entirely practicable to turn out
upon the depleted grounds many mill
ions of young Holsters yearly as soon as
proper plants for this object have been
established.
One thing in favor of lobster raising,
as to cheapness, is that they prefer food
that is partially decomposed, and the
waste food of the towns, now thrown
away, might be most usefully employed
by the lobster hatcheries. Stale fish is
esteemed by Holsters an especial delicacy.

BUSINESS rs BUSINESS.

The CHRONICLE was not mistaken when
it intimated a few days ago that the
capitalists of Portland were treating with
coldness, if not indifference, the project
of raising $2,000,000 to open up the
Columbia river. The OregoniGn of yes
terday referring to some remarks made
in these columns, very courteously and
at the same time very frankly tells US
why this is the case. can undertaking
like this requiring a large amount of
money is purely a business matter. The
men who put in the money will insist on
a chance to make money out of it. But
the plan, they say. virtually forbids
them to make money and moreover,
would withhold from them the control of
the line. Capital, we are politely in
formed, hesitates to subscribe on these
conditions. The Oregonian protests
against being considered personally Gin
different" and most earnestly avows its
desire that the situation were such that
it could enthusiastically and courage
ously shout for the proposition" There
cannot be shadow of doubt that the
situation is precisely as the Oregonian
puts it. Men may bawl themselves
hoarse about mossbackism and lack of
enterprise, but when it comes to the
raising of cool two million, human
nature asserts itself, and capitalists with
out whom so great an amount cannot be
be raised will refuse to risk their money
where they cannot have a voice in con-
trolling it, or the hope of the best possi-
BILE returns. The building of an orphan
age or the endowment of college will
relax the purse-strings of sentiment or
philanthropy but a portage railroad al
belt beneficent institution lis not a
benevolent one, and ifsbuilt at all by
private subscription must be built on
the lines of a purely business transaction
1t is perfectly evident that without
Portland's help no scheme of half the
magnitude of that which the new corpo-
ration contemplates can eyer be accom-
plished and it is the part of simple wis
dom that the company remove every
barrier that stands in the way of the free
investment of money in the enterprise
If this is not done the Oregoniam makes
it evident that the corporation in course
of formation will die from lack of means
to carry its object into effect.

How other People Live.
Goldendale Sentinel.


The following extract from private
letter by Henry Stegman, Esq. who re-
Gently visited Germany, will enable
persons to compare the life of a poor
man in this country with that of one in
Germany:
In Germany they had the hardest
winter known for so years, and the suf-
fering an American citizen who has never
been there cannot imagine. The rich
are rich and high, but the poor, and
there are millions of them, God help
them. Many poor people begged the
potato pealings from the rich and took
them home and boiled them for them
selves and children to eat. And the
rich go to operas and ballets and grand
receptions in silk and satin, fearful
more apparent on account of the terrible
winter. Hog meat, live weight, sold to
butchers per 100 lbs. for 81 to "a marks !;
4 marks equals one American dollar.
Cows sell for 475 to 500 and $50 marks.
Little pigs weeks old bring 10 German
dollars. rs cents of our money equals
dollar there.
Now you can see that the poor see no
meat on their tables for months at a
time. And wages are very low. I went
into wagon makers shops and looked
around, that being my trade as you
know. Wages for a good skilled man
mark per day and board; that means 25
cents per day and board Tools to work
with are furnished.
l was glad when / saw land in New
York harbor and gave three cheers for
our noble country, and let me tell you
like Klickitat and my home here better
now than ever, and now i am satisfied.

1t is understood that in few days a
party of engineers will start out from
here to go over the line of the old Hunt
system on the north side of the Columbia.
Just what the object is cannot be
learned, nor can it be learned whom the
engineers represent.
1t is supposed they want to ascertain
the actual valueNof the right-of-way and
franchise in general. There is no longer
any hope that the Northern Pacific will
build the line, hence the actions of the
engineers are all the more mysterious.

The Louisiana Lottery in Politics.

A dispatch from New Orleans says:
The Louisiana Lottery company has sue
ceeded in disrupting the Republican party
of this stats Us well as the Democrats.
The separation came to-day in the meeting
of the Republican state committee, which
met to name q place and date for the meet
ing of the nominating convention. That
wing of the party led by Ex-Governor H
W. Yarmouth, who is at present the col
lector Of the the port of New Orleans, has
always enjoyed the confidence of the Re-
publican Administration and has been
counseled by the Republican national com
mittee on Republican politics in Louisiana.
The opposing faction has been led by ex-
Governor kellogg, who has been sup
ported by A Bald Twin, chairman Of the
state executive committee; Pinchback,
Louisiana's colored governor of recon
struction days; Herwig, chairman of the
central committee, and Dumas, the colored
state senator, all of whom are large stock
holders in the lottery. As the representa-
tive of the Harrison administration, it was
well known that Ex-Governor Yarmouth
was going to indorse the course that the
President had pursued in autaEonizing the
lottery, and offer resolution proposing to
the coming convention to insert IN anti
lottery plank in the state platform.
The lottery managers were frantic to
get control of the committee. On the first
vote to-day to fill vacancies the lottery
faction won By a vote OF AZ TO &c Ten
fraudulent votes were Immediately claimed
by the Yarmouth side of the House, and
several clearly proven. These were ad-
mitted by the chairman IA lottery mani,
who refused TO allow new count, on the
ground that it would make reflections on
the secretary, who announced the result.
A free fight followed, in which chairs and
clubs were used. The Yarmouth faction
withdrew to the custom house and issued q
call for state convention.
