Bring out That Pick.
Secretary,

The railroad commission, it is said,
spent two days examining the road be-
tween this city and Portland. We hear
they carried pick along, wherewith to
examine the timbers of the bridges and
tressels on the route. That was right.
We hope the pick did not catch cold by
being too freely exposed outside the
Pullman sleeper to the raw air of our
climate. If what we hear is only half
true the commission ought to have had
with them, beside the pick, few dozen
monkey wrenches, an army of track lay
ers, several hundred thousand new ties
and regiment of bridge builders. A
gentleman well known in this city says
he has within the past three days walked
the track between The Dalles and
Chenoweth creek and he offers to bet a
thousand dollars that on this little bit of
road he can pick with his fingers enough
spikes out of the rotten ties to fill two
100-pound nail kegs. He found, in sew
eral places the nuts off the fish bars,
either half way off or peacefully lying
beside the bolts. Some OF these he
screwed back into their place, the best
he could with his fingers. 1t is said
that parts of the bridge across Mill creek
are rotten and liable to crumble to dust
at any time. The gentleman referred to
says that after what he has seen with
his own eyes he would scarcely take his
chances of a ride between this city and
Portland for million dollars, and yet
we have no doubt the commission will
continue to draw their salary and re-
port that the Union Pacific is in ''excel-
lent condition and its trains run on
time to dot''

f. Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was the druggists answer.
II don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. ellis baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to q
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

Lillian Smith, the girl shootist, who
has been giving exhibitions through
Oregon during the last year or so made a
big hit in Tacoma during President Har-
rison's visit. The big banner on the
grain arch erected in honor of the presi-
dental visit threatened to demolish the
structure. An effort was made to lower
it, but the halyards were tied to the top
OF the arch and could not be reached,
the structure being regarded as not
strong enough to bear a mans weight.
In the emergency Lillian volunteered her
services. Producing a small rifle, she
shot away the halyards, though they
were swaying at lively rate in the
strong breeze. The feat was watched by
large number of people and heartily
applauded.

"The Critic" Commended for Urging
New Pavement on II Street.


TO lie Editor Of he Critic; As one whose
interests have been individualized with
the Southwest for many years, permit me
to return you thanks for your considera-
tion in calling the attention of the local
authorities to the necessity of giving i,
from Seventh to Twelfth streets, some
thing more serviceable than the irregular
and obsolete cobble stone surface which
obstruets rather than encourages public
travel. That this section of II Street,
along which reside some of our most con
spicous citizens such as Messrs. r. A.
Golden, Thomas Riley, John Stephenson,
Charles A. Parker and others, should be
neglected while the other portion extend
ing from Seventh street to the old canal is
improved by fine asphalt pavement,
looks, 10 say the least, peculiar. Colonel
William Ludlow, in response to COM
mittee which waited upon him during his
administration Of the Engineer Depapart-
ment in reference to the necessity of cor
recting this piebald condition Of affairs,
said that the cObble-stoned surface of L
street was only fit for the bedding or
foundation of decent pavement. He
also expressed determination to improve
the street, but the formulation of his of
licial existence shortly after paved sheol
with one more good intention and left
street to the tender mercies of the eifete
cobble stone. W. T. w.
