How Commerce Grew In Pioneer
Day. OF the Golden State.
The first European vessel to enter
the port Of San Francisco of which
there is any record was the Eagle, in
1916 commanded by Captain William
III. Davis. She sailed from Boston via
the Sandwich Islands aud Alaska. She
carried an assignment Of goods which
were revelation to the natives, and
their garments Of skins and hides were
substituted by the clothing of ciyiliza-
ton. Payments were made in hides,
tallow, soap and fish. The Eagle then
became engaged in the sea otter trade
and was very successful. as offers
were plentiful in San Francisco bay
and all along the coast. She made
three trips, netting about S2o.oO0 on
each trip. This stimulated others, and
this discovery no doubt gave an I'M
petus to commerce which made this
port known to the world
Commerce in those days of mamma
was carried on in what might be term
ed free and easy" manner. On
many articles the duty was 100 per
cent which practically amounted to
confiscaton or made smuggling neces-
sary in self defense. The Mexican Of
ficials generally opened the door. Ere
quently vessels were permitted to pass
Monterey, the port of entry, going to
Yerba Buena and. after selling as
much of the cargo az possible. to re-
turn to Monterey for entry and dis
pose of the remainder.
The shippers were not sworn as to
I the value of the cargo. They gave tic-
titious invoices and by this means
would get off on the payment of $4,000
on a $4,000 cargo.
II became SO customary to swindle
the government as scarcely to excite
comment. except III cases where goods
We're concealed in false Innings of the
vessels and the government officials
were outwitted.

URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
A Medical Opinion on This Foe to
Health and Life.

Health ana Life.
Haig holds that the man of average
weight Celebrates twelve grains of uric
acid in twentyfour hours. and woe be-
tide him if he does not eXcrete the full
amount with due celebrity. A little re-
tanned uric acid will give rise to head
ache, lethargy and mental depression.
A greater retention will give rise to
arthritis. lumbago and sciatica The
uric acid miser will end his days
through bronchitis. Bright's disease,
apopleXy. diabetes or cancer. Man
cannot avoid his fate and cease being
uric acid producer. He can avoid,
to some degree. swallowing the wretch
ed stuff. What he cannot avoid swal-
lowing he can, with care, excrete. II
man had been wise and had continued
to live where he belongs. near the
equator. and had fed on fruit and nuts
all might have been well. But, having
wandered from the tropics, he must be
wise or perish. Here are the rules
that one must follow to be healthy and
live long: First, swallow no uric acid
and pass out each day regularly and
punctually all that is formed in the
body. Second, excretion of uric acid
may be obtained by clothing warmly,
by avoiding exposure to cold in every
way (the morning cold tub is an espe-
cial abominatioD, by eating freely of
potatoes Especially in cold weather)
and by avoiding fruits. Bicarbonate
OF sodium, night and morning, for peo-
pie who live in climate similar to
LOndon's is q fine habit. In addition
to all this. it sis also advisable to Sc
cure the proper distribution of time
between bodily and mental exertion
and to dispense with dependence on
tonics. stimulants and bracing eli
mates. New York Medical Journal.

RETRIBUVnON.

1t is slowly dawning on the liquor
interests of oregon that crime and
immortality as a business do not pay
in the end. There may be a tempo
rary profit but the ultimate result Is
unsatisfactory.
The statement that $3.50, 600 worth
of property will be wiped out of ex-
istence by local option in Oregon may
sound appalling from the business"
view.
But of what did this property
consist? And for what purpose was
it maintained?
Costly bar fixtures. shimmering
mirrors, plush tables, cellars full of
wines and liquors, elegant back rooms
for nameless purposes, brilliant cleo
trio lights, colored glass windows and
countless other destinations to attract
and hold custom and make beasts of
men.
There is no actual loss to the sub
stantial business interests. True some
of the foam of the business world has
been wiped away. but none of the
genuine wealth of the country has
suffered.
And from whose terrible need was
this $750,O0O worth of property
taken? ASK the wives of drunken
men, the fathers and mothers of
ruined sons, and the children of in
sane mothers. They can truthfully
answer.
Upon what permanent basis of bus
mess logic did this saloon property
exist? The saloon produced nothing.
supplied no need. answered no just
/ demand. What it accumulated, it did
so at the expense of legitimate busi-
ness and terrible moral cost to the
community
The better class of saloon men are
leaving the business in disgust. The
local option law will drive the other
class out. 1t don't pay, it don't pay.
There is much more in human life
than money. When men learn this,
local option laws will be superfluous
statutes.

NoRMALS ARE SUSTAINED.

The selfishness of the Willamette
valley has been severely reouked by
the people of oregon in the referen-
dun vote on the general appropria-
tion bill including the expenses of the
state normal schools.
Eastern Oregon will continue to en-
Joy her Weston Normal which was
just coming into its maturity and
strength when it was closed by the
detestable littleness of the Willamette
valley politician and moss back. This
school has been set back TWO years in
its growth and the people of Oregon
denied the benefits of its training,
but it seems to be established now
upon IA perpetual foundation and this
in part compensates for the hindrance
occasioned by the referendum vote
upon its existence.
How Willamette valley can be so
utterly selfish and narrow in matters
of such grave public importance is
beyond comprehension. The people
of eastern Oregon are looked upon as
so many taxpayers, whose support of
state institutions is the extent of their
citizenship. from the Willamette val
ley standpoint.

FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR.

]. V. Tallman, the public-spirited
citizen who has been induced by his
friends to accept the position on the
school board made vacant by the ex-
piration of the term Of Walter Pierce,
is in hearty sympathy with the public
schools.
He has favored schoor expansion
from the beginning has been an ad-
vocate Of school bonds for building
purposes, has stood firmly for the
improvement Of the schools in every
step Of past progress and is highly
qualified for the position.
He is practically the only candidate.
Others have been mentioned, but sew
eral who are personally seeking the
position have motives in securing a
place on the board, and are opposed,
at heart. to the progress of the schools
and would only embarrass and hinder
the free growth and expansion Of the
school system.
Mr. Tallman is not seeking the

DEMAND FOR SILVER IN INDIA.

The heavy demand for silver in In
dia and in the orient generally is hav-
ing, with other influences, marked
effect on its price, which rose to 81 SIS
cents in London in the third week of
May. There has been an advance in
the price of silver Of 20 cents in three
years.
This advance is expected to continue
and 1t will have a good effect on the
trade in eastern markets by increasing
the purchasing power Of the money
now used in the Orient. In the first
four months of the current year Great
Britain exported to India 100000. 900
worth of silver. The use Of silver in
the arts is rapidly increasing it being
estimated that fully $4,000, 900 ounces
are consumed in that way annually.
The United States and Mexico com
bined Weld more than SO per cent of
the worlds output of silver, and they
both derive a large advantage from
its increase in price.

TAXES WILL BE HIGH.

States and counties are like indi-
viduals after all. They are typical of
the human genius which dominates
them.
You have heard men boasting of
their personal prosperity. They have
figured in advance how they will meet
this and that obligation by such and
such a time, after which they will be
on easy street when, 10, some unfore-
seen contingency arises. aud they are
set back, pulled down from their high
hopes and cast into the dust. so to
speak.
Two weeks ago, Umatilla county
was congratulating herself that the
Lewis and Clark fair was over and
that bill paid, the county had just
been supplied with new bridges and
those bills were paid, the court house
had been repaired and that expense
had been met, and the coming year
looked promising. Everything was
favorable TO a low tax levy.
Then. in night. the angry torrents
pour down the mountains and wipe
$4,000 worth of county bridges out
of existence. There is your Mr.. Hope
full groveling in the dust of disap-
pointment again. The rebuilding of
the county bridges will make taxes
high next year and nobody can help,
and nobody is to blame. The public
need must be met.

DAWN.

Throw up the window, 'Tis morn for

In its most subtle luxury. The air
Is like breathing from rarer world:
And the south wind is like a gentle
friend.

1t has come over gardens, and the
flowers
That kissed it are betrayed; for as it
parts
With its invisible fingers my loose hair
I know 1t has been trifling with the
rose
And STOPPING to the violet. There is
joy
For all Gods creatures in 1t. The wet
leaves
Are stirring at its touch, and birds are
singing
AS If to breathe were music, and the
grass
Sends up its modest odor with the
dew,
Like the small tribute of humility

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per-

contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. II can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t Is permanent
in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
