brings in the services Of The green "hoss''
doctor or in fact several Of them, taking
their turn each with his favorite remedy.
which, in the majority Of cases, proves to be
worse poison than an over feed of green

perhaps the most fa'al form Of disease that

On Que occasion l was called in to see n
valuable horse that was sick and rolling in
terrible agony and was Informed by his kind
owner that he chad given him every remedy

Residents of the west end would
like to know why pavement is not
laid on West Washington street.
Some of the property owners at least
want it. It is on the main thorough
fare to the N. & w. station, and il
is a shame and disgrace to the town
that it has not been laid long ago.
CURLING was ordered for 1t once and

Preventing Future Misery.

If there is, in this yale OF tears. more pro-
life source of misery than the rheumatic
twinge, we have yet to hear it. People are
born with tendency to rheumatism, just as
they are with one to consumption TO scrof-
uIa. Slight causes may develop this. As
soon as the agOnizing complaint Inaiifests
itself. recourse should be had To Hustettcr's
Stomach Bittcrs, hicll checks its further in
roads and banishCs the rheumatic poison from
the system. This statement taliies exactly
with the testimony of physicians who have
employed this fine blood dcpurent in their
private practice. There is also the amplest
professional and general testimony as tn the
efficacy Of the Bittcrs for malaria. liver COM
plant. constipation, indigestion. kidney
trouble NERVOUSNESS and loss of appetite and
flesh After a wetting. whether followed 10y
a cnid or not, the Bitfers is useful as q pre-
Ycntivc of the initial attack of rheumatism.

We Wants It.


After mature deliberation we have raised
our lightning rod and patiently await the
storm after the 4th OF March, In hopes the
lightning may strike it in the shape of the
appointment of register OF The Dalles land
odice. We respectfully suggest in our own
favor that since the Sth day of November
last we have waxed fat, gaining % pounds
in that time, on diet such as the country
editor usually tackles. which is proof posi-
tive that tine political pudding Is the cause
of it. We have grown too large indeed to
longer remain a private individual, and
must either have an Office or have the Ore
gon legislature incorporate us. We feel
that we are competent to fill the office and
strong enough to draw the salary, thus
rejecting credit on the party and DETECTING
cash to ourseif-supplying great need in
either case. Besides this it would be fit.
ting recognition of the newspaper frater-
nity-the people who pnt others In office
and get nothing themselves; the men who
''lead the columns in political battle. who
marshal aud drill the forces in time of
peace; the men who get all the scars. no
cash and very limited credit. The
truth Is, the newspaper man is,- 80 to
speak, the war house in time of polit.
ical battle, the beast of burden between
fights, turned out to pick precarious lly-
ing ON the range, fenced out of the public
pasture, and only groomed when it is time
for him to stand up and be shot at. These
are our claims to recognition, and If we are
to be turned down, we ask in all justice to
an overworked and underpaid class OF party
workers that some other newspaper man be
given the place.
