Am Important Meetinr.

An adjourned meeting of the county
court will be held next Monday. The
principal business to come before it will
be the county levy. In view of the fact
that Multnomah county has ignored the
work of the state board of equalization,
and that its recognition by Wasco county
would involve considerable addition
to our state tax, Judge Thornbury de-
sires that the citizens of The Dalles
meet in the county court room next
Monday evening at the usual hour to
counsel with one another as to the course
the county court ought to pursue in the
premises-whether or not to ignore the
findings of the state board as Multi
nomah county has done and make the
levy from the assessment roll as returned
by the county assessor.

Salem on the 18th instant, when topics
of interest to horticulturists and gardeners
were discussed. Among the papers read
was one by b. S. Pague, on "Horticult-
ure and Climatic Considerations"
which contained the following remarks
of general interest to fruit growers and
of special interest to the fruit growers
of Wasco county. Ten acres of fuit trees
at the age of five years, he said will yield
more in one year than would twenty
acres of wheat in five years each acre
each year, yielding twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and each bushel selling for
so cents. He said that the weather
bureau record showed that in the vicinity
of Hood River and The Dalles, the low
est night temperature was higher in that
locality than in any other part of the
state from June 1st to September 18th,
making the section especially suited to
peach culture. He explained how cold
air settled in valleys and said vegetation
on rising ground is never exposed to the
full intensity of frosts or cooler night air
and the higher they are situated relative
the less they are exposed, since their
relative elevation provides ready escape
downward of the cooler air almost as
rapidly as it is formed. Frosts are most
severely felt where the slopes above
them are destitute of vegetation, for if
the slopes are covered with trees, they
offer resistance to the descending cur
rents of cold air and distribute the cold
produced by radiation through the
atmosphere He then distinguished
the frost and nonfrost periods as they
generally exist in Oregon and affect
vegetation, andsgave an example of how
with the dry and wet bulb thermometer
any horticultural could determine for
himself the probable approach of frost
and gave. remedies of how to protect
orchards from frost by burning damp
straw and allowing the smoke to cover
the orchard

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous,
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This Remedy
effectually counteracts the tendency OF
the disease to result in pneumonia, pro-
yided that proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the at
tack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy
during the epidemics of the past two
years has failed to discover a single case
that has not recovered or that has re-
suited in pneumonia. % cent. so cent

as governor of the state we take the fol-
lowing extracts: ''He has saved the
state not less than $4,OO0,0O0 of wasteful
expenditures by his vetoes alone, and a
much larger sum by securing the aboli-
tion of costly and unnecessary bureaus,
and by the deterrent influence of his
known hostility. to extravaganza upon

years, with no direct tax at all for state

ed by the art of the politician with cum ming sophistry and needless technicality for the intent and purpose of rendering it unintelligible to the general thinker. It IS new the duty of all the advocates of the free and unlimited coinage of sil- yer, each in his sphere, to inaugurate an educational campaign and to impress upon the masses of the nation that the restoration of silver to it's former stand ard as a measure of value, is rot a scheme to advance the personal interes ts of the silver miner, but that it IS step absolutely necessary to the we'll being and prosperity of the entire people.
 The Bullion from this day on will be characterized by an intelligent discus sion of the silver question, and by the absence of the senseless adjectjves and the use of meaningless invectives.-Bul- lion.

NEW DEPARTURE.

INTELLIGENT silver men agree upon one point, 1t is that an educational cam paIgn is necessary, that the hope of the sil- yer cause is in the hands of the millions who cast their votes in the ballot box. The average American whether he be 8 monometaist or a silver advocate, is a representative intelligent citizen. He may be convinced of the error of his ways, but he cannot De convinced against his will or made to change his position by the use of Invectives or intimidated by insults.
 That the masses of the producing ele- ment of the country favor a restoration of silver. we believe will be conceded. This may be the case or 1t may be other wise, the fact will remain the same, how ever, that to change the sentiment of a monometalIst to that of an advocate of bimetalisn. may be effected by argument and convincing logic. but to heap abuse upon the former, calling him Q gold bug a financial shark, Wall street vampire, etc. etc, does not eradicate error or se- cure his adherance to a cause whose success is necessary to the perpetuation Of the silver industry. This being the case 1t is time .that the advocates of bi- metalism should abandon abuse, and at once enter upon a system of intelligent discussing that will be convincing in it's nature. The nation asks nothing better than to be instructed.

AcCoR DING to the New York Sun the superstition about the number 13 be- ing uniucky is put to multiplied test in the new 25-cent pieces. On one side of the coin there is no less than ten repeti- tions of the number 13. There are thirteen stars, thirteen letters in the scroll held ID the eagles beak, thirteen marginal feathers in each wing, thirteen tail feathers, tbrteen parallel lines in the shield, thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen arrow heads in one claw, thirteen leaves on the branch in the other claw, and thirteen letters in the words ''quarter dollar" There hasn't seemed to have been anything unlucky in the thirteen original states, nor the thir- teen stripes on the flag; now it remains to be seen if the man who gets his pock
 cts full of these new quarter dollars will be unlucky. The CITIZEN, however, modestly rises to remark that despite the ominous "thirteen" the new quarters will be taken at par in this office. We are used to fooling with ill-luck and don't mind a second turn at the wheel if it IS brought to us in the shape of bushel of new twenty-five cent pieces.

MORE WATER.
Indications that a New Water Com

It is likely that Tucson will have a system of water works very soon. There is more than one company in the field already. Within the past week or two a gentleman who is backed by ample funds has been looking over the situa- tion and is about ready to make a pro- posal to the city which will not include a demand for an exorbitant sum of money. The plan alluded to will be the introduction of what is known as the Holley system of pumping.
 The same gentleman has already gone SO far as to declare that whether he se- cures 8 franchise from the city or not, he will by system of pumps, if not by natural ditches, irrigate every acre of land between Tucson and the RillitO.

The laws of health are taught in the schools; but not in way to be of much practical benefit and are never iiiustrat- ed by living examples, which in many cases might easily be done. If some scholar who has just contracted a cold was brought before the school so that all could hear the dry, loud cough and know its significance; see the thin whi.e coating on the tongue and later, as the cold developed, see the profuse watery expectOration and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever. forget what the first symptom of cold were. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain's.
