WESTERN POLITICIAN WON.
Made the Secretary a Proposition
Which Was Too Much
for Him.

When Richard Olney was secretary of
state he frequently gave expression to the
opinion that Apprentices to the consular
service should speak the languages of the
countries to which they were respectively
accredited, relates the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
1t is said that when certain breezy and
enterprising western politician who was
DESTROYS of serving the Cleveland admins
tration in the capacity of consul at one OF
the Chinese ports presented his papers to
MIR. Olney, the secretary remarked:
Are you aware, Mr.. Blank, that never
recommend to the president the appoint
ment of consul unless he speaks the Ian
guage of the country to which he desires
to go? Now, | suppose, you do not speak
ChineseY'
Whereupon the westerner grinned broad.
". IF, Mr.. Secretary" said he, you will
ask me a question in Chinese L shall be
happy to answer it,
He got the appointment.

The birth of Claire was fatal to his
fathers good resolutions. The day aft
er the child was born Jaques went out
to celebrate. He returned home drunk
and for most of the next two years he
remained drunk. He lost his savings,
his little home. his employment. The
mother worked desperately, taking in
washing and ironing, doing anything to
support herself and child. But the
strain, the worry and the shame told
on her beauty.
Then the drunkard husband fell sick,

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.
How the Railroads Made It Possible
for the Growers to Get Fair
Prices.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley, of Yale University, in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile, of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest Of
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities Of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
Nave been a glut of the customary
MARI cts and the potatoes would have
rotted on the farms. To help the po-
tato growers, the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to a place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook. growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes, and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine railroad
reduced it's already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the pota-
to crops of botL Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody eats
potatoes, and that year everybody had
all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement OIL dill pUldCOSS dL dill LILIES,
to all places, they helped their patrons to
find markets then The Boston and Maine
Railroad suffered a decrease in it's rev.
enue from potatoes. but it enabled the
Aroostook farmers to market their crop
and thereby to obtain money which
they spent for the varied supplies
which the railroads brought to them.
If the making of rates were subject to
Governmental adjustment, such rad
ical and prompt action could never
have been taken, because it is well es-
tablished that if rate be once re-
duced by railroad company, it can
not be restored through the red tape
of Governmental procedure. If the
Michigan railroads and the Boston and
Maine Railroad had been subjected to
Governmental limitation they would
have felt obliged to keep up their rates,
as do the railroads of France and Eng
land and Germany under Governmental
limitation, and let the potatoes rot

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July O.-(Special) In
this section of Pennsylvania there is a
growing belief that for such Kidney Dis
eases as rheumatism and Lame Back
there is only one sure cure and that is
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows
from such cases as that of Mrs. M. l..
Dawson of this place. She tells the story
herself as follows:-
Il have suffered from Rheumatism for
thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done me more good than any
medicine | have ever taken. [ was also
bothered with Lame Back and can only
say that my back hasn't bothered mo
since took Dodd's Kidney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dod1's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonderful
if it were not that others are reporting
similar results daily. Kushequa is fast
arriving at a verdict that ''Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheu-
matism.'

but cents worth of fuel oil. BY

it will not cost the average family

How Liquozone Cures

The greatest value of Liquozone lies
in the fact that it kills germs in the
body without killing the tissues, too.
And no man knows another way to do
it. Any drug that kills germs is a poi
son, and it cannot be taken inter-
nally. For that reason, medicine is
almost helpless in any germ disease.
Liquozone is a germicide so GER
tain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of $1,000 for a disease germ
that it cannot kill. Yet it is not only
harmless but of wonderful benefit
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-08
Not Medicine

LiQuozone is not made, like medi-
cine, by \compounding acids and
drugs; nor is there any alcohol in it.
Its virtues are derived solely from
gas, made in large part from the best
oxygen producers. The process of
making takes IA days, and requires
immense apparatus. At the end of
two weeks, we get one cubic inch of
Liquozone for each 1850 cubic inches
of gas used. The attainment of this
product has, for more than twenty
years. been the constant subject of
scientific and chemical fesearch.
The main result is, to get into a
liquid, and thus into the blood, a pow
erful, yet harmless germicide. And
the product is so helpful-so good for
you under any condition-that even
well person feels its instant bene-
fit.
This is a product which, in the past
two years has sprung into world
wide use in the treatment of germ

Pendleton, April 6.-(Editor East
Oregonian)-The Morning Tribune
shows the Commercial association to
have taken under consideration the
construction of ford" across the
Umatilla river in the west end of
the city.
To a disinterested citizen it seems
unfortunate that such an influential
and dignified body as our local asso-
ciation should advocate such a trifle.
For some time past there has been
a ford, sufficient for the purpose.
available at all times during the sum
mer months, and an additional ex-
penditure seems useless, but at best
such ford is necessarily unavailing
one-tourth of each year. and then
fraught with much danger as evinced
by the drowning of a young man lust
one year ago in the attempt to cross
this ford-one which has been used
Tor several years and is highly un-
satisfactory TO those who are con-
cerned in the matter
1t is unnecessary to discuss the
benefits of such a bridge not to the
city alone, but to the county and to
the stockmen, now compelled to use
the Main street bridge on their way
TO the mountains-also the Iiberality
of citizens who would donate to such
a cause.
II the association has any money
or energy to be expended for such a
purpose rather let it be for a sub
stantial bridge-an undertaking
worthy of their effort.
To finance such a proposition ought
not to be difficult. Management only
is needed. Such is the function of a
commercial association-to take the
initiative and to expedite.
