NOT A CENT FOR THE COLUMBIA.

The national government is prepar-
ing to spend $200.o00,000 for the Pana-
ma canal. $10O,O00,00O for new war
ships $50, 100000 for pensions, mil
subsidies, public buildings. etc, etc.
but not a cent is to be appropriated for
the Improvement of navigation in the
Columbia river. No question is OF
greater importance to the people of the
Inland Empire and Of the entire Co
lumbia basin than this. For many
years they have hoped and prayed and
labored for the opening of the great
river of the Pacific Northwest that
their products might be transported at
reasonable rates to the sea Again and
again have they been promised that
at last their petitions We're about to De
granted, but the promise has been
made to the ear only to be broken to

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.

According to Well Informed Wash
ington correspondents the st. Louis
convention is almost certain to follow
the lead of John Sharp Williams in its
tariff plank.
There is not a dissenting voice in
either house Of congress, so far as can
is unusually clear headed and far
sighted, is confidently expecting that
his ideas will be incorporated in the
platform.
1t may be we'll, briefly, to state those
ideas:
Mi Williams. While a free trader in
theory, recognizes that the United
States has been developed CONNER
cially and industrially on protection
lines. He also recognizes that the
one exception. are protection nations,
and that the one exception, Great
Britain, is seriously considering the
adoption of a protective tariff. He
would not. therefore. have the
United States put upon a tariff for
revenue basis.
He would revise the present tariff
lay along protection lines, hitting the
schedules. which, to quote the Iowa
republican platform of last year, ''af-
ford a shelter for MONOPOLY This po-
Sition is on all tours with the position
held by many thousands of republican
voters all over the middle west
The democrats Will also, it is now
believed, adopt a strong reciprocity
plank, cOndemning the republicans for
their failure to fulfill their reciprocity
promises. and charging their leaders
with being at heart firmly opposed to
the principle underlying it. Special
mention will be made of reciprocity
with Canada. This position also will
strike a responsive chord among mid
die west republicans.

when he entered one of the great mid
die west universities for the study of
medicine, he played leading part in a
number of very funny situations. On
one occasion in particular, his lack of
knowledge of the English tongue got
him into a predicament. 1t CHANGED
that he was afflicted with chapped
lips. and on asking some fellow stu
dents what remedy to apply for the
ailment was told to try Tulip Salve."
He enquired very innocently where it
might be found, and was told that Il

living in a desert country are never at
loss to account for skin like parch
ment; they know that it is an inevitable
accompaniment of dry atmosphere. Mr..
Germain in his paper, pointed out that
80 per cent moisture was the average
humidity of arid countries. but that,
ter temperature in this climate to 90
or 20 degrees. all but about 10 per cent
of it's moisture is lost, and that is
about what the average indoor condi-
tons provide. This is the moisture
scale of extreme desert conditions, in
which no woman would expect to have
a complexion better than mummy.
Now, this Sahara condition of in
door air may be remedied very simply
by providing proper evaporation OF
water: half-pint in an ordinary room
will raise the per cent of moisture to
50-a fair average.
1t is not merely a question of the
condition of the skin, but dryness OF
atmosphere affects in a marked de
gree the condition of the nervous sys-
tenn, and our dry living rooms are

necessary funds 1t is true that there
is some money left from an old appro-
nriation that is available for the be-
ginning of this work but falls lar
short Of being enough to c3rry on the
work until the next session of congress
shall get ready to set aside more money
for the purpose.
II therefore behooves the senators
and representatives from Washington
Oregon and Idaho to bestir themselves
to secure a liberal appropriation for
the Improvement of the Columbia. 1t
is right and proper that liberal APP
nronriation should be made for the
Portland exposition to commemorate
the achievements of Lewis and Clark
Rut more should be done to honor those
historic worthless. 1t is now just one
hundred years since they started out
on their journey to spy out the lands
trayersed by the Missouri, the Snake
and the Columbia and to the shame OF
the republic navigation in these great
rivers is now little better than when
they padded their canoes along those
streams in constant peril from danger
Gus rocks, deadly whirlpOols and half
hidden rapids, being often compelled
to shoulder their boats and carry them
around such menacing Instructions
and death traps.
Congress could not more fttingly
honor the memory Of Lewis and Clark
than to make at this session an appro-
priation large enough to insure the
complete opening of the Snake and the
Columbia to navigation from Lewiston
Idaho. to the sea. The congressman
from the Pacific Northwest should
labor increasingly to that end. They
should adopt as their shibboleth The
Columbia must be opened and keep
dinging it in the ears of the members
of both houses as pertinaciously as ole
Cato stuck to his text of "CarthagC
delenda est. In this way they may
be able to make themselves such nuts
anees that congress in sheer despera-
ton Will finally give them what they
want.
1t is true that some of the senators

the influence of the great railroad cor

\ RE YOU DRYING UP?

y Chicago engineer has come 70 the
