WHISKY FOR RHEUMATISM.

The Increased use of whisky for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is a wonderful cure when
mixed with certain other ingredients
and taken properly. Tho following is
the formula:
ITO one half pint OF good whisky
add one ounce of Torls compound and
one ounce of syrup Sarsapnrilla COM
pound. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retiring"
Any druggist has these ingredients
or will quickly get them, any one
can mix them. This formula was
published here last winter and hun
dreds of people were promptly bene-
fitted.

Hans was dressed in his best suit of

toned to a red jacket. Both garments,

We have genuine respect for Ad-
'jutant General FINER, Of the Oregon
National Guard, as man, officer and
citizen, and shall be glad to see his
essentially fine record as soldier
properly recognized and eompensa-
red but not with life tenure in of
fee; for we do not believe in such
privileges, save in the loftier and
more dignifed, non-political spheres
Of incumbency. 1t is enough that
he shall succeed himself for such
time as he shall be fit and the people
shall want him. His juniors are on
the line and many OF them will be
entitled to the same consideration he
has reecied, in due time, and we must
Tbe in position to do as fairly by them
as has been done BY General FINER,
If he is just the soldier we think he
lis, he himself will deprecate the rath-
er equivocal honor. A man general
ly knows when his friends are trans
crossing the amenities, and even If
the hypothetical fayors are unsolici-
ted, he knows when to intervene to
save himself from an access that is
sure to be interpreted aaginst him
even il he shall be committed to it
only by mere acceptance.

THE CLUTCH BROKEN.

Almost as an answer to our in
quiry of yesterday, what has the
Legislature done" comes the an
nouncement that it has passed the
insurance bill and amended ii to the
point of breaking the clutch OF the
San Francisco pirates, put the bust
ness on a free and open basis in Ore
gon and made it helpful to the
State. This is much, and we are
grateful Oregon has borne her in
surance burdens with marvellous pa
tience. and now that she has a way
out, will probably take the trail at
once and gang her ane gait"
] Opening up the commonwealth to
all companies upon an equitable ba-
sis and giving them a nationally free
hand in the insurance market is
bound to make insurance cheaper all
over the State and if anything were
needed in Oregon It is just that
thing. For this need Of advantage

AGAIN UP TO THE PEOPLE

Despite the ardent fight put up by
Representative John G. MeCue, Of
Clatsop, against it, the bill recon-
mended BY the joint-legislative con-
ference. on the fisheries of the Col
umbia, has passed, and the two bills
that passed the Oregon electorate
last summer are to be submitted
again to the people for revocation;
for we take it that the Legislature
has not the power to revoke the
plain mandate Of the people them
selves on any question This is a
deliberate wrong. II furnishes an
excellent lesson Of the reckless uses
that may be made Of the initiative
and referendum and will. we hope,
have the effect of making the people
think at least twice before they COM
nit themselves to such crippling
blunders in the use of their law-nak-
ing prescriptions.
One of these bills, the gill-netters
measure, passed BY majority Of rs,
600; the other came through the polls
with scant 5000 to the good and
both passing, stand Of record in dia-
metric conflict. to the detriment Of
every interest presumed to be
served; hence, the proposition that
they be cancelled. despite the
fact that the former is of inestina-
bic value to the salmon fisheries of
the State, and that the later is but
hampering, make-shift, expedient
to thwart and defeat the original and
paramount measure, and to fasten
the predatory fishing methods of a
beggarly handful Of rich operators on
the trade OF the river and State.
We do not know what the people
will do with these bills when they
come up again. Their previous
treatment Of them proves them in
competent to 20 to the bottom Of
legislative suggestions and handle
them separately upon the inherent
merit Of claim and counter-clairn.
The one hope exists that by the
time they are brought forward the
people may have eben taught to dis
criminate between them for the safe
ty Of one Of their greatest industries;
and to have learned to think out the
problem confronting them before put
ting their fiat hand on them. If these
conditions cannot be attained to, then
the sooner we revoke the |. & R.
law, the better for all concerned.

VAST FRUIT MARKET.

CHICAGO. Feb. 20.-'rhe Record
Herald today in q news article says
that the establishment at the end of
South Water street as the greatest
fruit and vegetable market in the
world has been signalIed by the an
nouncement that the last deal vir-
tually has been closed in a Sl0000,'
600 real estate transaction which will
give Chicago large new produce
market south Of the loop district.
The announcement too, solves Chi
cago's greatest real estate mystery.
For years there has been persistent
buying through brokers OF land in
the vicinity OF the site for the new
market Real estate men have puz-
lied over the motive without gaining
the slightest clew Supervision Of the
purchase Of the site was intrusted to
w. B. Jansen, fourth vice president
Of the Santa Fe Railway. President
B. 2 Winehell, OF the Rock Island
Railroad, also, interested, is in New
York and it is believed that details
regarding the future Of the project
will be announced when he returns.
Although the official announce
ment has not yet been given out, it
is believed that officials of the Wa
bash, Rock Island, Santa Fe, Pan
handle and Western Indiana lines
will be found to be actively interest
ed in the success Of the venture.
