A Notable Triumph.
he Commercial. Appeal

From The Commercisl.A Appeal
Too much credit cannot be given
to Senator Berry of Arkansas, for
his indefatigable work in support
of the amendment to the rivers
and hArbors bill, making i'm.
medately available SI,000,000 of
the appropriation of 1900 for the
sorely needed present enlarge.
meut and hetterment of the Mis-.
sissippi river levees. Those who
know the facts in the case unite
in declaring that to the Arkansas
senator is due the passage of the
hill. In its defense, he marshaIied
all the forces of his eloquence, bis
personal popularity with his con
freres in the congress, his in
geuuity and energy, aud he used
them unsparingly one and all. He
originated the amendment to the
original bill, and he resuscitated
it. aud gave it life and made it a
thing of fact when il had been
abandoned by everyone else con
cerned.
Those who have studied deeply
the problem of the levees agree
that appropriations in their behalf
are effective in proportion to
promptness with which they are
applied. An appropriation of g..
100000 now is worth more to the
levees, if it can be employed in
Strengthening them now, than a
much larger amount will be year
or two hence if this is not applied
now. Levee engineers are now
building for double purpose: to
repair the annual waste ofinefiici.
ent dikes, and to protect the lands
lying behind them. The first item
is q decreasing quantity as the
levees uesr completion, and will
practically reach the zero point
when they have been built to
absolutely effective height There.
fore il is patent that to Senator
Berry is due debt of gratitude
from all concerned in the integrity
of the Mississippi river levees,
not mereiy for the amount of the
appropriation actually secured,
but more particularly for its be.
ing secured now.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use OF liquor, wine or
beer. and oyercomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect Of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures OF the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
sists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

DIED.

CONDIT.-At his home in Turner, Or
egon, july 2s, 1904, at 1:25 p. m,
Cyrenius Condit.
Mr. Condit was born in Mercer coun.
ty, Pennsylvania, January 20, 1927, and
at the age of ~ years moved to Wood
county, Ohio, where he lived until
1854, when he crossed the plains with
OK teams to Oregon, reaching the Will
lamette valley in October of the same
year. He took a donation land claim
about four miles southeast of Turner
where he resided until 1891, when he
moved to Turner He was married
May 1, 1851, to Rebecca j. Rowland,
who died in March, 1868, and on Jan
uary 3. 1865, he was married to Miss
Jane Frank, of Fndlay Ohio who,
with his sons, S. J. Condit,of Stafford;
II. b. Condit, of West Stayton, and A.
o. Condit, Of Salem survive him.
the deceased was of sturdy pioneer
stock, and spent the most of his life
amid the dangers and privations of
pioneer life, always bringing into his
business and social affairs those ster.
ling qualities of integrity and fair
dealing which made him honored and
respected wherever known. He was
always active and interested in the af
fairs Of government, but was never a
candidate for any political office.
During the later years of his life the
intirmities attendant upon advancing
years kept him closely confined to mis-
home, but, by devoting himself TO
reading, he kept in touch with the
business, political and religious af.
fairs of the world and at the last
election was, at his own request, tax,
en- to the polls that he might vote his
principles. He was one of the charter
members of Pleasant Grove Presby.
terian church. and he and his broth.
er, Sylvanus Condit, who passed away
three months ago, did most of the
work in erecting the Pleasant Grove
church building, which is now the old.
est building of that denomination on
the Pacific coast.
His last illness was brief and very
severe but the end came as quietly
and peacefully as child falling
asleep
The funeral will be held from the
family home at Turner on Saturday.
