Two Boys Washed Out TO Sea.

4 man from Tillamook informs the
NeicS that the schooner alpha, on her
recent disastrous trip had two boys
aboard, who, when in the breakers, were
washed overheard. When they went over
they had hold of a rope and clung TO it
for dear life, but were unable for time
10 get aboard again, owing to their be-
ing heavily clothed and their large gum
boots. Willie Star finally succeeded in
getting some of his things off and helped
Johnny Gableson on board. He then soon
stood beside his almost naked comrade
on deck. They again set sail. and for
eleven days were alone on the deep,
with 81 ant rations and bruised bodies.
Their food finally gave out, and for three
days they were compelled to fast. The
plucky little fellows did not give up, and
were at last rewarded by again reaching
the bar, and crossing this time IN safety.
When they were taken ashore it was dis.
covered that they had sustained some ter
rible bruises.

PATENT OUTsIDEs.-It is said that the
postmaster-general has decided that
newspapers known as patent outsides, :
''insides" or ''co-operatives," etc, shall
be excluded from the mails as second
class publications. The reason is that
these papers, being similarly printed on
one side in large cities, then sold 10y the
quire or ream, TO thousands Of country
publishers, who make up and print the
other half of the paper with home news
and local advertising, is sufficient evi-
dence that such papers are not self-sus-
tanning. There are about 1000 such pub
ications in this country, and if the rul-
ing above referred TO should go into ef-
feet, probably 5000 "cO-operatives' OF
the smallest circulation and local adver-
tising patronage would necessarily sus-
pend publication. Ii is not generally
known, but is a fact all the same, that
notices published III these papers are
illeQal.-Er.
