Have you risen from your bed after short sleep to
find yourself nearly suocated with Catarrhal matter
in your nose, head, and throat? Have you noticed
what depressing influence it exercises on the mind
bunting its faculties besides enervatng the body as
we'll? How difficult to lid the head of this foul mat
ter all can testify who afflicted with Catarrh
How difficult to protect the system against its further
progress towards the lungs and bronchial tubes, all
physicians can testify. 1t is terrible disease, and
cries out for relief To be freed from the danger Of
sutfocation while lying down. to breathe freely sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to know that no poison
Gus, putrid matter dees the breath and undermines
the system; to know that the body does not through
its veins and arteries carry the poison that is sure to
destroy, is indeed blessing. To purchase immunity
from such fate should be the object Of all afflicted

A COMPARATIVE VIEW.

The number Of places in Washing
ton Territory, described in the Pa
cific Coast Directory to which refer
cnce was made yesterday, is l48,
against 20 in Idaho, Ito in Montana,
and 55 in British Columbia. The
number of business names registered
as belonging to Washington is ,220,
Idaho, 80i; Montana, $50; British
Columbia, $50. The population of
Washington is given at 40, 900; Idaho,
$3.50; Montana, 90, 545; British CO.
lumbia, 1900.
The number of business houses
and professions credited to our city
is 179, against l26 in Walla Walla,
l08 in Olympia, ~ in Vancouver, and
&c in Port Townsend.
The showing, however, is more
inadequate as regards Seattle and
King county than some other See
tions, for the reason that so large q
part Of the growth Of our city and
county, have been within the past
year, subsequent il would seem TO
the returns from which the Directory
in question was made up. For ex-
ample, King county is credited with
only one grist-mill (the old Wood
ward mill, long since torn down,
whereas We have three, all put up last
year, viz: Buzby's, Stetson & Posts,
in town, and Nelson's on White
river. We are credited with only
two mills, Colman sand William
sons. There are, however, now in
the county, not less than seven saw
mills, altogether In addition to the
/. two mentioned, there are the Me-
Calhster mill on White river, 30

capacity of $4,000 feet per day, and

ture, the steam mills ut Renton
