HOW IT BECAME POPULAR.

When people find an article much superb
or to anything of the kind they have ever
before used, they are almost sure to tell
their friends about it, and especially if they
know of some friend needing such an article.
Dealers also soon learn the true value Of
their goods, and when they have an article
Of unusual merit they will almost invariably
mention the fact to their customers. This
accounts in great measure for the large
sale of Chamberlain's. Cough Remedy,

NAVIGATION UNDER DIFFICULTIES

The Hoag reached her dock at this place
on time last Sunday morning, her principal
freight being 35, 900 feet of lumber from In
dependence. She discharged her cargo and
aud started on up the river, intending to
reach Nicholas landing mile or two this
side of Harrisburg, where load of wheat
awaited her coming. Such trip is out of
the ordinary for late steamboat navigation,
but the Hoag proceeded all right till she
reached Cummings, about five miles below
her destination. This point proved s'a
corker," and although several hours OF
hard labor were spent in the attempt to got
through all efforts proved in vain. The
river here is in sharp bend cut up into. a
maze of channels practically useless for
navigation and is full of snags. The Hoag
was finally obliged to turn about. Her
trip was not truitless one, however, for she
found another 100 ton lot of wheat she
o)uld get to, and which she took aboard
aud brought ON down. After loading-tons
of -four at fishers mills, the Hoag took her
departure for Portland Tuesday morning,
carrying quite a number of passengers for
different points below.

urday last. a delegation OF senators and
representatives. to the number OF about
thirty, accompanied by quite number OF
lallos, formed the party, who were chape

C unity. Emerging from ths train, they
were rnat by President Bloss and Secretary
Wallis Nash of the board of regents, and
escorted to the college buildings to the
music of the college band.
After lunch at "Cauthorn hall, p" the party
visited different departments Of the institu-
ton; witnessed recitations il several rooms;
admired the works of art and substantial
handiwork to be seen in many places and
evinccd lively interest in all they saw and
heard. Some who are allied with the edu.
cational profession were highly enthusiastic.
Later banquet was served at the ''Cau-
thorn hail." after which. toasts and
responses held sway for some time between
several students and . number of senators
and representatives which was complete
feast of reason and did honor to all con-
cerned.
| The grand elimination came in the even
ing at the the college chapel which was
crowded with people to witness the exer-
ciscs of tho literary socitites. Following

in favor of aid for the college and Staats, o
Polk, openly pledged his vote in the same
direction.
The good will universally manifested by
all legislators in their visits from first t.
last has been hopeful omen of the resul
to come, and the fact that the bill appro

out trouble with no opposition in the lowe
house in sight, virtually settles the mater ii
favor Of the Oregon Agricutral College.
