The Canadian farmer who, under
the present law, brings his wheat in
to this country and sells it for 90
cents a bushel, the same as the
American farmer, is first required to
pay duty of 20 cents bushel he
therefore realizes 40 cents on his
wheat; yet we hear free traders assert
ing that the tariff is a tax on the
American. What is true of wheat is
true of every other product of this
country.

For that Sum M ExcplDpnt Drive Well
and the Purest Water Can be Sc.
cnred.
For SIS a well can be driven, any,
where in this city, that will give an
inc xhaustible supply of the coolest,
finest. pursst water in the world.
Some ground is better adapted to
wells than others. In some ground
the cost may amount to $50; in others
TO $40. But sl5 is a fair average Of
the cost of driving q we'll about 20
feet, and a(lixing largest sized Pit
cher pump on the surface, wherever
the water Is wanted.
Undertaken Baldwin hes such a
we'll. 1t cost him less than SIS, but
he did the work himself. He is not
able bodied as he once was,as is we'll
known; but it only took him about
half a day to dig pit six feet, drive
his pipe 20 feet, and make a trench
ten feet long and averaging three
feet deep-to bring the pipe into his
kitchen.
In this way a supply OF water can
be obtained that will s..ffice for q
whole ne,ghborhood. As many
couplings can be put on the pipe US
there may be taps wanted. The more
water there is pumped the better it is.
There is 10 vegetable refuse, TO ami
NAL exorement, no accumulated filth in
this water.
Property owners on Main street,
for instance, can effect q great saving
ny driving such wells. II they own
two contiguous stores they can drive
well on tho middle line Of their lots,
and it will suffice for both stores
The we'll, two pumps and pipe will,
on II lihetll estimate, cost not to ex,
coed $50, and they may never have to
spend another cent upon it. Their
tenants would, doubtless, gladly pay
an increase OF ii or SO of rent,
monthly, for the use of the we'll, since
it would save them from 50 to IS per
month on water alone. besides being
spared the loss and ANNOYANCE conse-
q"ent upon the pipes bursting from
frost, aud SO forth.
Even tenant renting a house
from year tn year can better afford to
dive a we'll on the premises which he
leases than to pay the water rent.
The rate to families has been, and is,
~ 80 per month, or $50 per year
This for water not ALWAYS fit tc
use for domestic purposes. A driven
well would cost SIS. A saving OF
sl5 on years rent can, theref fore,
be effected right here. And as to the
water. why, there is hardly any com.
parison between the quality.
Tho ground never freezes to u
great depth here, hence wells may be
sunk or driven even in the coldes,
days of winter.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.

Wednesdays Portland Telegram says,
in speaking Of amateur athletics: "The
season of 1893 is witnessing greater
strides OF advancement in amateur ath-

vious. 1t has distanced all professional
sport in popular favor, and indeed al
most has the field to-itself Prizehght-
ing has died out, footraclng is a thing
Of the past, and professional baseball
is slumbering." The two organizations
that have been chiefly responsible for
this condition Of affairs are the Multi
nomah Amateur Athletic Club Of Port
land, and the Seattle Athletic Club,
says the Post Intelligencer. The form
er, which is the longer established, has
undoubtedly taken the lead in the
cause, but the Seattle club Is now show

the two are working together with

A RUINoUs LOSS.

Why Is 1t that people in general are
so prone to disregard loss Of strength,
clearly perceptible in bodily shrinkage,
failure of appetite, broken rest? Incom-
prehensible but true. Sheer careless
ness, an overweening confidence in the
power of nature to recuperate-these
are suggestible reasons. One of>the
most observable signals Of danger
thrown by distressed nature is waning
strength. An efficient tonic Is the best
safeguard against impending peril.
Among the invigorants which modern
science has developed and experience
approved is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, and 1t occupies the first. Diges-
ton, renewed by this genial stomachic,
compensates for drain Of vital force,
and q regular action of the bowels and
tranquil condition of the nerves, both
insured by its use. cooperate in the

ters remedies liver and kidney trouble
and malaria
