well Enuinned Vessel.

Seattle, Dec. 20. - The monster
steamship Minnesota of the Great
Northern line, which is now enroute
from San Francisco to this city, is caus-
ing great deal of comment at every
port which she put in not only her
size, which is astonishing to mariner
and landsman alike, but her elegant
appointments, and the up-todate man.
ner in which she is fitted throughout.
Among other curiousities to be seen in
this floating palace is an opium den
for the Chinese passengers. AS the
ship was designed to ply the Oriental
waters, her owners, in promising every
comfort, did not forget that "A MAORI
ty of the passengers would be celestials
and therefore prepared an elegantly ap-
pointed room, fitted with couches, pipes
and the other parphernaia of the opium
smoker, 50 that the almondeyed son Of
the Orient could lie and hit the pipe
to his heart S content. Another con

boast, is a complete telephone system,
an instrument Of the latest kind being
installed in every stateroom, all being
connected with switchboad, with pret-
ny "hello girls" to answer every call.
lS has been suggested that the words
."wet" and "dry" be substituted in
calling for number, in place of cred -
and "blaek,' as used by the "land-
ubbers." A daily newspaper is also
said to be one of the novelties, and a
noiseless electrical machine for load
ing and unloading the cargo was util-
lied at San Francisco for discharging
5000 tons of coal, which was billed for
that city. Great interest is manifest
ed here in this triumph of modern in
genuity, and no doubt throngs of sight
seers will inspect the vessel on her ar
rival in the Sound.

A Natural Result .

It is very reasonable to suppose if the
foundation of structure was removed
that the building itself is bound to
come down. This same principle can
be applied to disease. Take medicine
into the system that will remove the
cause Of sickness, and illness will leave
of itself. Dyspepsia, indigestion, sick
headache and billiousness have their
foundation in stomach disorders. Re-
move this weakness and the other
symptoms are no more. There is one
cure for this that all druggists sell for
25c per box. 1t is DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. They get right at the be-
ginning of these diseases and make the
cure by taking away the cause.

One on the Colonel.

At the Good Roads banquet Wednes-
day evening, one of the speakers related
the following incident, which he init
mated occurred in the family of Colonel
Page, the genial president of the Sa-
lem State Bank, of our city.
The colonel and his wife were having
a delightful conversation one morning
at the breakfast table, in the course of
which she casually picked up the daily
paper, and read brief article on Pres
ident Smith, of the Mormon church.
After the reading she turned to the
colonel, and said: "Colonel, do you
think that President Smith, with his
10 wives, can be happpyq" the colonel
scratched his head, hesitated a mo-
ment, then, with look of embarrass-
ment, blurted out, "Well, 1 don't know,
but it does seem to me that he has 10
chances to my one. "

LET THE TRuTH coME ouT.

Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Hermann have done right to come home
and testify in ,the land fraud cases.
Let the facts and the truth be known,
and let nothing be concealed in the
whole public land business in Oregon.
Let the government put on the thumb
screws, and make its convicted defend
sats tell all they know about the
frauds.
Let them put old sick men like Cap
Eain Orsmby in the sweatbox, and
threaten to send them TO the peniten-
tiary and extract confessions.
Let them go after the political
sealps Of Senator Mitchell and Con-
gressman Hermann, and other men in
high places.

The development of whole counties
has been arrested, enterprises shut off,
railroad construction stopped, and Ore

Hitchcock, ct al, can do no worse
than they have done, and they have ac-
complished nothing but extension Of

Big corporations have profted by

the iniquitous reserve policies contin
ued by Hitchcock.
All Southwestern Oregon was put
under a forest reserve, to the paralysis
of mining development and industrial
progress.
When the Hitchcock dictatorship
passes away Oregon will come out from

In the mean time let all the truth

there be no screening or wncing or con-

LEAVE WE'LL ENOUGH ALONE.

A number of politicians are bringing
inflnenee TO bear to have new text
book commission appointed.
Governor Chamberlain has, so far in
his administration, made no political
use of the educational institutions of
the state.
The demand is now made to appoint
Democratic textbook commission.
What assurance has the governor that
they will make radical changes2
In order to do anything they would
have TO make sweeping changes, and
possibly restore the old order of things,
which was thoroughly corrupt.
The present textbooks are believed
60 give general satisfaction. The com
mission TO be appointed has no adop-
tion TO make for two years.
If the governor would reappoint the
present commission, they could use all
the knowledge and information they
have gained, and have two years in
which to consider the improvements.

YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN.
Forget Your Stomach and You'll
Have Santa CIaus Face.
HOW TO DO 1T.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give man forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky and disagree
able, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes
one forget his friends and become mo-
rose and irritable. He is so wrapped
up in his own misery that he is incon-
siderate of every one else. Relieved of
this terrible and depressing ailment he
again becomes a good fellow and man
among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond
question the most effective and popular
remedy ever offered to the sufferers of
this terrible disease. The thousands and
thousands of cures they have brought
about and the enormous increase of
their sales fully attest the truth of this
statement.
They are, above ALL natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess, and they actually do the diges-
tive work of the stomach and enable
that organ to rest and recuperate and
become sound and well. They act in a
mild, natural manner and cause no dis
turbance in the digestive organs. They
prevent any fermentation of the food
which causes sour stomach. In fact,
under their influence the subject forgets
that he has a stomach and his resulting
cheerfulness presents a great contrast
to his former detection.
M1lllO0S OF DOX6S Oh OludII OySpep-
STA Tablets are sold annually and they
are but in the dawn of their popularity.
Every mail brings letters of thanksgiv-
ing from grateful ones who have been
cured of this terrible disease. The fol-
lowing is one of hundreds received each
week:
Rev. J. R. Hoag, of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: For six years have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall I be-
came very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came to
believe there was sympathetic rela-
ton between the two diseases, or rather
that the stomach trouble was the cause
of the heart disturbance. I hit upon
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a rem
edy and invested a dollar and a halt
for three boxes which lasted me three
months, and 1 can eat any kind of food
want and have good, vigorous ap-
petite. Although I am n years old,
new feel perfectly well and without be-
ing requested by anyone 1 make this
statement as a compliment to the vir-
| tues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets"
