postmasters was sent out from Wash.

THE STORY Of V|NOL
BY Charles Rogers Of Astoria.

Our experience with medicines ex,
tends over many years. We have had
ample opportunity to watch thousands
of them and their results, and we can
honestly say that we've never sold a
medicine in our store that gives more
universal satisfaction than does vinol.
This is because Vinol possesses in.
trinsie merit. and We want everybody
in Astoria To know about it, and why

strength and yitality-yet on account
of the disagreeahle odor, taste and
heavy indigestible oil which envelopes
its curative elements, il invariably clogs
the system, upscts the stomach and it,
virtue is lost.
Now modern science has proved that
the oil or greasy part has no value,
either as a food or medicine. and the
medicinal elements of which there are
about fifty different kinds in the Gods
liver represent all the tonic. body build
ing and curative powers of this famous
old remedy.
After twenty years of study two emi
nent French chemists discovered a way
to separate all these medicinal elements
from the oil and livers and give TO mod,
ern medicine all the valuable curatives
OF the Gods liver without drop OF the
useless oil, and thus made vinol.
Vinol, therefore, is guaranteed to con.
tain in a highly concentrated form all
OF these medicinal curative and body.

fresh Gods livers, without oil, and for
this reason IL is fast superseding old

of month of deliberate accusation on
the part of this paper and every well

FFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
NO STATE SECTIONALISM.

Some of the state papers are
giving much attention to the
fact that the present population
of the state is giving a larger
voting population to the western
counties than heretofore and
that the eastern counties are
thus becoming less powerful in
matters political. There is moth
ing in this condition to cause
anyone trouble. Political pow
er geographically should be on
an equitable basis. One part of
a commonwealth is more pow err
full than another only because
the former contains a larger
population in proportion to its
area than the other. 1t is fair
that it should. But the one sec
ton thus advantageously situa-
ted should not use that power
tor its own sectional good.
Laws should be for the good of
the whole people. Sectionalism
will give a state or a nation poll
tical gangrene quicker than any
other cause. Section ais m
drenched this nation in blood
and laid the nangled corps of a
million heroes on its sacrificial
altar. 1t will have the same et-
feet, in a smaller degree upon a
state. Instead Of lamenting the
passing of the so called political
power from the eastern and cen
trail counties, it should be a mat
ter of rejoicing that the rich
counties in the western part of
the state have become equal in
population and infu ence with
their older sisters in the east.
Let sect1onalism pass from 20 IL
tics and localism from the State
institutions and let the people Of
the state realize that they are
one, united by every interest
that makes for the good of the
state. and that our splendid
state institutions belong to the
people of the whole state, rather
than the locality in which they
are located. q

Nice Compliment
For O'CalIagIlans

years past Devils Lake has had
an organization unique in this.
part of the world--a troupe of,
amateur actors who at intervals.
stage some of tue popular plays.
They are known as the "Thet
O'Callaghans' and at the Chau-.
tauqua this year the visiting.
newspaper people had the pleas
ure OF seeing them in the Broad !
hurst farce, "Why Smith Left
Home. !" It is really no compli-
ment to "The O'Callaghans'' to
mention the fact that many who
saw the performance thought.
them professionals their stand
ard being far. above that of the
average travelling aggregation
seen in the west. Though
brought into competition with a
terrific storm which outlasted
the play they gave a finished
and highly creditable perfor-
nance. Particularly strong was
the work Of Mr.. Flynn, a young
attorney, and Miss Elliott in the
leading roles. Mrs. Mitchell
as the union 'scook LADY, was
very clever.

The vacant lots in the city
which grow up in rank weeds
should be moved by the city
authorities at the expense Of the
owner, if che latter refused to do
SO, and in the case Of non resi-
dent owners, a charge of this
kind against the property for
three successive years should en-
title the city to sell the property
to pay the charge. It would take
a legislative enactment to do this
but the nonresident who buys
lots to receive the increase in
valuation arising from the M
provement Of progressive pro.
perty owners, is an unmitigated
nuisance and the law should be
strict in making him do some
thing towards proving the city.

Norway and Sweden are in
a fair way to settle their dis
pute in a manner satisfactorily
to both. The good sense of both
nations is thus proven and to all
except a few scheming politi-
clans of Europe who had hoped
to profit by quarrel, the world
will rejoice. It is to be hoped
this country may soon be in posi-
tion to acknowledge the indie
pendence of Norway whose
sturdy sons have done so much
toward the making of the rich
empire of the west.

The prospect Of a bumper crop

Of cattle, a few hogs or a drove
of sheep would be a splendid in

now These subjects have never

cause Of the oVershad downing of

in raising number one hard
wheat. The result is that stock
has never brought ideal prices.
What is necessary is to have the
81 ny best blooded stock possible
and then with the cheap grain
and pasturage they could be
marketed at a time when they
would bring fancy prices. The
profit Of raising stock can not be
determined by putting on the
market inferior blooded and
carelessly fed stock. There is
money in good stock, and no
possibility of drouth, rust or
other damage.

TOLD TRUTHS.

THAT the committee appointed

should have returned so caustic {
report regarding the apathy o.
Oregon's railways is a surprise tC
all who are posted upon sucl
reports. As usual thing what
ever a great railway chooses to dc
or chooses not TO do is calmly
looked upon by an investigating
committee as about the correct
thing; and all improprieties are
blandly condoned in a whi,ewashing
document.
But the Portland committee did
not do business in that way. It
plainly asserted aud in no uncertain
words that Oregon's railways were
non-progressive: that vast scopes of
country were lying untouched by
railroad iron where conservative
investment would bring magnificent
returns TO both railroads and the
whole state. The committee stated,
also, that IN some Of the large areas
now barred from progress by lack
OF outside communication railroads
were playing the dog in. the mangcr
