Yesterday the railroad was block
AIDED, but the river was open, showing
that, barring freez-up. natures grea
waterways offer the surest means fol
transportation. All that is needed tt
place US in reliable communication
with the outside world is the compile
tion of the locks at the Cascades.
Mr.. Geo. w. Dodson, of Prineville
came up last night on the Regulator
from Portland. Mr.. Dodson under
took to cross the Cascade mountains

at Fish Lake week ago today, he
found the snow so deep that he could
not go further, hence he retraced his
steps and came by Portland.

II years old, and went to Yakima in
1867. Mr.. Foster resided for many

Teachers in The Dalles public
schools completed their labors for the
year 1895 today and were made happy
by the school board ordering that their
salary for the month be paid at once,
instead of conforming to the custom
of issuing their pay on the second
Tuesday of the month. Acting on
this order Shool Clerk Jacobsen has
distributed about $1,000 among the
school ma'ams today.
The o. R. s. N. line is now virtually
clear throughout the state, and trains
are running very nearly on time. The

and Portland last night, and the east
bound passenger arrived here at
o'clock this morning, bringing the
through mail that should have arrived
on yesterdays local. The company
now Is in condition to keep the road
open unless unusual storms occur.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cor
dial to any one who might call at their
new York Office, there wasa great rush
and great many people thought they
were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have
been a very clever advertising trars-
action, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the end
profitable: nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
had derived better results from its use
than from any other medicine they mad
ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, and what is better than all, it
relieves at once.
