SLOGAN RECALLED

Mr.. Mckinley declared weeks before
the election that it was better to open
the mills to labor than to open the mints
to the worlds silver" Mr.. Mckinley
followed UP his invention Of this cam
paign slogan by declaring that his meth
od of opening the mills to labor
was to increase the price of the prod
ucts of the mills and thus enable
them to make higher profits. 1t is very
snug scheme all the way through. We
don't pretend to know how the Repub-
licans can restore prosperity and in
crease the wealth of the country by in
creasing taxation, but that is none of
our business.-Atlanta Constitution.

JOHN M. SIEN ENSON.
620 Bellevue avenue, Los Angeles, Cal.

To the Public: I take pleasure in tes-
tifying to my marvellous recovery under
the treatment of DR.. Wong Him of 639
Upper Main ST., Los Angeles from num-
ber of stubborn ailments. among which
were chronic sick headaches, dyspepsia
and kindred stomach troubles, heart affec-
ton and kidney disease. But what l con-
slider this physician execlled in, SO far as
my case is concerned, was in the restora-
ton of my eye service. Astigmatism
coupled with other disorders, was my af-
Fiction in this respect, and, although a
number of well known skilled oculists in
some of the larger cities of this country
advised me ! should always have to de-
pend upon glasses, and receive but poor
service even then, DIR. Wong Him's rem
edies have enabled me to abandon totally
the use of any artificial help to sight, and
my eyes continue to give such service,
both for near work and distant, as is truly
wonderful. To the skill and remedies of
the physician named can alone be attrib-
uted revolution in my physical condition
throughout that puzzles those who knew
OF the "incurable" character of my az
flictions. Respectfully,
G. L. PLOWMAN,

READ THIS LETTER

LOS ANGELES, January /, 1886.
To the public: l was seriously afflicted
for about ten years with lung, liver and
kidney troubles. Tongue could never ev-
press the misery I endured during those
years. l was reduced in flesh until l was
mere skeleton. My sight and hearing
were badly impaired; was constantly
troubled with constipation and piles. and
lad severe chronic cough In short, life
was a burden and death would have been
welcome. I was treated by various spec
ialists with out avail. I finally resolved TO
give DR.. Wong Him, of No. 639 Upper Main
street, trial. OF course like many others,
l had no faith in a Chinese doctor, but it
tool, only a few doses of his life-giving
herbs to knock all the skepticism out of
me. In just five weeks the doctor pronoun-
ced me cured and now can truthfully say
that I was never healthier and never felt
better in my life My sight and hearing
are both fully restored; that obnoxious
cough, constipation and piles are entirely
cured and am rapidly gaiting in f1esh
having gained forty pounds in two months.
l earnestly recommend all sufferers and
skeptics to give the doctor a trial and be
convinced of his superior skill as ply
sician.

does not reach this city till eightren
hours later. The heavy traffic over
this bit of road has made 1t almost i'm
passabIe. The mud has been very
deep in the upper country and the
Lewiston hill il not kept in repair.
Mr.. Meuli, the contractor, seems to
exercise due diligence in the preform-
ance OF his duties as mail carrier, hut
he protests that there is neglect on the
part of those who have charge Of the
roads and ferry. Mr.. Meuli claims that
much time could be saved by proper
labor upon the hill road and in the
! conduct of the ferry. He claims that
owing to failure on the ferry company
to construct proper approaches much
delay and inconvenience is exper
fenced.
1t is time this ferry nuisance was
abated. There is fault in the public
policy that has left this community st
long without bridges oyer our rivers
There can be no permanent relief from
these dangers and delays until thes'
ferries, relics Of a past age, are replaced
by public bridges.

There has boen no little speculation
here about the status of the free home
stead bill at this time. The merits Of
the measure IN general are well under
stood. In its later stages there have
been some amendments proposed
which are somewhat confusing In the
light Of our knowledge Of their nature.
1t Is believed. however, that the bill
will pass with all the essential features
intart. With the object IN view Of
placing the needs Of the Nez Perce
homesteaders property befo.e congress
=. r. Hogin ofthis city has prepared
and sent petition to John +. Lacy
chairman Of the public land committee
detailing the governing conditions in
the case. 1t might also be we'll to re.
present the Importance OF this matter
to our congressional delegation.

A Cripple Creek at Home.

G. w. Morrison is in the city from
the Salmon river country where he
has been looking after his mining in
terests. He reports having met &. b.
Wood, the we'll known mining man of
Grangeville, who was loaded down
with samples Of ore from big lead
near the mouth of Whitebird. Two
prOspectors, Cooper and McFadden,
discovered a mountain of quartz IN
that district that is the biggest thing
yet reported. They have uncovered II
ledge In many places that is forty feet
wide; and it fairly bristles with free
gold. The ledge has been traced for
several miles on both sides of the Sal
mon, and is well defined with walls
and all the makeup of a true fissure
vein. 1t is cut by the canyon of the
Salmon which demonstrates that II
has depth as well IA width. Every
sample that has been mOrtared shows
good prospect Of gold. 1t is the
grandest prospect that has ever been
reported in the Northwest. In fact II
seems incredible that such wealth 81
easy of access should lay right at oul
doors. Mr.. Wood is conservative
miner and his estimate is that tn
wealth of this one ledge Is equal to al
of Cripple Creek. The conditions ar
such that there can no longer be
| doubt of its value as millions of tons O
rich free-milling ore are in sight
Great excitement Is reported in tn
new camp. Eager men are scram
bling over the sides of the SalmO,
river canyon aud even continuing til
search all night with lanterns.

A sneak thief made an attempt to
carry away "A side of mutton from the
Raymond House last Friday night.
During the winter season tue hotel
meat supply is suspended from hooks
below the shed just back uf the kitchen.
The thief reached down from the shed
and secured the meat. Just then the
China cook saw the man and cried out.
The thief made break with the meat
but immediate chase by the hotel force
caused him to drop his burden to save
capture. The mutton was recovered
and the temptation will not be placed
| in the way of the covetOus hereafter
