WHAT COULD A POOR GOVERNOR DO?

Governor Wthycombe takes the trouble to reply to an
attack made him by the Oregon Journal for not going
back to Washington sending representative back to
present 0regOns views to the disposition OF the for
feted Oregon & California granted lands.
The governor says he could have done nothing had he
gone back and he is emneny correct Congress would
have paid no attention to him whatever and besdeS as
he well SAYS he could only present his Individual views
the matter for neither he anyone else has any idea
what Oregon wants She does not know herself
The mistake the governor made was in the calling OF
the convention here last September for it only demon
straed that the people OF the state were as widely Sepe
ated in their views as it is possible for community to be-
1t was in sense representative body Of men beng
composed of the legislature representatives from cha-
bers of commerce. the grange organized labor and about
every faction or business in the state
Out of the whole gathering there not an idea eX-
pressed that was well received that got any support
Some half baked plans suggested that started no.
where and ended where they started There several
fine spun theories but not workable practical SuggeS-
ton in the whole lot.
The governors wel-meant attempt served only to
make confusion worse confonded and to emphasize the
fact that "Oregon did not know what she wanted and
would never be satisfied until she got it, When the con-
VentOn adjourned he knew no more what the people
wanted done with the lands than he did when 1t met In
fact he was in condition to the matter than be-
fore as it plainly showed Oregon had no suggestions to
make and rather closed the Governors mouth even as to
his own beliefs in the matter Had the convention not
acted as it did, he might have assumed the state wanted
certain things and gave this opinion to the congressional
committee
However this would have made no difference as
congress pays little attention to governors or anyone ese
going its own somewhat devious way and travelling
totuous course rather than the straight road to reach
its goal
Congressman Sinnott did all that could be done, and
it is due to his efforts that the state got half loaf IN
stead of no bread which seemed to be what was to get
until he made a hard and partly winning fight
Just what the state will get remains to be seen for 1t
only gets it's 20 per cent and the counties their 30 per
cent, net.
After the railroad is paid the taxes settled the cost of
sale taken out and the lands unstable measured up it is
fair to presume Oergon will get exactly what the boy shot
at which was "a pretty much of a good deal of most
nothing"

HUSBAND SUFFERED

eases which are caused by too much uric
acid, such as gout, asthma, sciatica,
renal calculus. "Anuric" prolongs life
because old people usually suffer from
hardening and thickening of the walls
of the arteries, due to the excess of uric
acid in the blood and tissues.
DR.. Pierce, who is director and CHIEF
physician at the Tnvalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, has
been testing this wonderful medicine
for the relief of over-worked and weak
ened kidneys. The relief obtained by
sufferers has been so satisfactory that
he determined to place "Anuric" with
the principal druggists in town where
people could get this medicine for SOC,
" "Anuric" is not harmful or poisonous,
but aids nature in throwing off those
poisons within the body which cause 50
much suffering pain and misery.
Scientists assert this remedy is 81 times
more potent than lithia.
