One of the first voluntary spon-
taneous recognitions of the true
worth and importance of the west,
yet given to this coast by first-class
eastern Magazine. is contained in an
editorial on the Lewis and Clark ex-
position, in the Four Track News for
December, The brief mention is as
follows: Every American, who lays
any claim to being we'll informed.
should know the story of Lewis and
Clark. Nothing in fiction can ap-
prOach I'm thrilling interest that won
derful story of the trail from st.
Louis to the Columbia The great
national Importance of this expedi-
tion can hardly be over-estimated. 1t
was the link that long missing, was
discovered by those intrepid eXplOr-
ers, and completed the chain that
bound the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and made possible Uncle Sans un-
disputed domain. the boundaries of
which were washed by the restless
waves of both great oceans. Let us
have a care lest we fall into the err
ror more or less prevalent in the
east, of regarding the Alleghenies as
THE west Let us remember THAT
every day of our lives we are en-
joying the blessings of the agricultu-
raj and mineral wealth of "the
boundless west" a region richer in
resources than any other section of
this continent-a region whose east
ern boundary, the Mississippi, lies
a thousand miles beyond the Allie
ghenies, and to whose untold natural
wealth of soil and mine the Lewis
and Clark expedition first attracted
public attention, a century ago"

The honor of Umatilla county is |
pledged to assist in raising funds to
complete the portage road. When /
the ultimate benefits to this county |
will be so great. when the object of
this fund is so vital to the great in
dustries of this county, can she be
content to fail to do her share?
Every man to whom the contracts
for the collection of funds are sent,
has been especially chosen by the
committee in charge as the man es-
pecially fitted in his locality to reach
the right men in the right way and
secure results. This is a labor for
the county. and is matter in which
every citizen should be proud to
work for a few days. The present
freight rate on wheat from Umatilla
county to Portland is nine cents per
bushel. Where there is river COM
petition wheat can be hauled the
same distance Tor flVe cents per
bushel. on 100000 bushels, or one
light crop in Umatilla county the
saving would amount to 100000.
The county is only asked to contrib
ute $4,000 TO the portage deficit In
view of the great saving, should
$4,000 stand in the way? VIII the
failure to collect $4,000 in this county
wreck this golden opportunity to gel
long sought relief? 1t should not be
necessary TO seek out the shippers
and wheat raisers and beg them to
give to this cause. So vitality are they
Interested in the work that they
should Voluntarily appear at the
banks and subscribe to this fund for
their emancipation. If the portage
fails now, don't curse when freight
bills come in, hereafter. 1t is now
for you to say.

Commonly, the first symptom OF 'cold
Is a chilly feeling. accompanied by sneez-

frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-namely the stagna-
tiou of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless constr

THINKS THE BOARD
WAS TOO HASTY.
Commissioners Who Voted against
Drawing Plans do not Oppose the
Scheme as q Whole.

There are two routes under consid-
GRAFTON for the new 24-inch water
main across the river. One plan is to
follow the old main and the other,
which will probably be adopted, is to
run the main parallel and adjacent to
the new bridge. Mayor Seaman and
the two commissioners who voted
against having plans drawn at the last
meeting, believe that the board is too
nasty. They want to see tho main
laid, but they favored waiting until
which route was selected This, they
claim, would have saved the expense
of drawing two sets of plans.

The agreement made by the Staten
Island railroad in connection with the
extension and Improvement of the
terminal facilities in this city calls
for the commencement of work by
March 10. That date is little more
than n month off but, as yet, the o
structing engineer of the railroad has
not presented his plans for tao work
to Mayor Seaman for approval, as was
promised.
The company is under no obligations
to that effect, but when the Mayor
was in conference with the officials of
the road about q month ago, the en-
gineor vas instructed, in Mr.. Sea-
mans presence, to present the plans
to him as 500 as they had been pre-
pared. They did this simply to show
their free and goodwill in the matter
and their desire to do what the people
of this city wish, as far as lies in
their power.
Mr.. Seaman said this morning that
he had not heard from the engineer as
yet in this matter, but said it might
be possible that the plans were not
yet completed.
B. M. Cannon, the agent of the
railroad in this city, was out of town
today.
