Whether in the form of pill powder or liquid, the doctors prescription for blood diseases is always the same mercury or potash. These drugs bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but they also dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time.
 The supp1eness and elasticity of the joints give way to stiffness, the rack ing pains of rheum matism.

THE STATE EXPOSITION.
Exhibits Requested From the Banner
County of Oregon.

Mr.. w. NJ. Evans, agent of the COM
mittee of the Oregon Industrial Exposi-
tion, arrived today from Portland, look
ing out for exhibits for the exposition
which opens on Sept. 10Th and continues
till Oct. 18th. He was much disap-
pointed not to find Messrs. Schanno and
Whealdon, but saw Mr.. Schenck, presi-
dent of the Commercial Club, who
promised to call g meeting of the club,
as soon as the gentlemen returned.
Mr.. Evans Gays he must depend on
Wasco county for exhibits, as the fruit
elsewhere throughout the state this
season is almost failure. caused by the
continuous cold spring rains. Mr..
Evans while at Hood River actually
found orders FROM McMinville for apples,
which seems good deal like carrying
Goals to Newcastle, for McMinnville is
the center of one of the most phenome-
nal fruit raising districts of the state.
We are glad to be enabled to say that
Wasco county has almost its normal
yield of fruit this year, and our fruit
raisers will doubtless sustain Oregon s
reputation at the state fair by liberal
contributions for exhibition purposes
It should be sent by the 18th in order to
reach the opening of the exposition.
Mr.. Evans left this afternoon for
Grants. He will then go to the Walla
Walla country and perhaps revisit The
Dalles.

out of corn silk and paper, which was
about to burn his fingers when he threw
it down and thus started the fire, which,
besides three stacks of hay burned a
stable and corral and all Mr.. Watson's
harness. The house was saved by a stiff
breeze which blew the flames IN an op-
posite direction. The little fellow gave
his parents dreadful fright by hiding
before they got out of the house, and for
a time they thought he had perished in
the confagration but when the fire
was at its height he dispelled their
fears by crawling out of ditch near the
fire and running towards the house.

Portage VIII Not Be Repaired Because
the Locks Will Be Open Soon.

More or less complaint has been made
that the state portage railway at the
Cascade locks has not been operated for
some time. The facts as they exist are
reported in Salem dispatch to the Ore
gonian as follows:
During high water this year, the
lower incline was washed out, which
stopped operation of the road. Since
that time efforts have been repeatedly
made by the board of portage commits
sioners to make connections over the
government roads, under control of the
contractors, as well as over the private
roads of Messrs. Day. At one time the
board had assurance from one of the
Days that their private road leading
along the canal might be used by the
state, but within a day or two there
after the superintendent of the portage
road was notified that the permission
was withdrawn. This withdrawal of
permission, as it is stated by Messrs.
Day, grew out of the failure of the D. P.
& A. N. Co. to furnish bond indemni-
flying the contractors against any causes
of action for damages that had been
sustained or might be sustained by rea-
son of blasting or other operations near
the lower boat landing. The board has
been very anxious to have the portage
road opened, but the superintendent re-
ports that there is every reason to be-
lieve the canal will be ready for use by
November 18th, and that therefore it
would be unwise to incur the heavy ex-
penditure necessary to repair the port
age road, as the canal will be open In SO
short time.
In answer to inquiries made by Secre-
tary Kincaid. G. c. Hobart, euperin-
tendent of the portage railway at the
locks, has written:
81 see no reason why the government
locks should not be so far completed by
November 18th. or even before that date,
as to allow them to be opened for traffic.
Mr.. Day, Sr., said September 9Th, I'VE
have made a contract with Captain
Fisk and obligated ourselves to have
them ready for business by that date
and, if the weather is favorable, we will
have them done before that time. I
they are not finished by that time, il
will be our fault Mr.. Wiley, govern
ment superintendent, as well as the en-
gineer in charge, are OF the opinion tha
the work is to be completed as soon al
possible
At the meeting of the portage com
mission this afternoon, Superintendent
/ Hobart was instructed to take up tn,
tracks, frogs, ETC., from the states road
and put them away and care for th
