A WOman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in

seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily and could not
sleep. She bought of us bottle of DIR,

A SOURCE OF PROFIT
That Gloucester Fishermen viii Turn to
Advantage.

lis now about a year since Capt.
Sol. Jacobs, of Gloucester, Mass,
came out here looking for some place
to make headquarters for the pro-
posed emigration of Gloucester deep
sea fishermen, who heard of the ocean
wealth of food fishes on this north
Pacific coast.
Not meeting with very favorable
reception he went to the Sound, the
result being that the operations of
the two schooners fitted out there,
and the thousands of dollars net
profits from the halibut banks has
attracted the attention of large
number of hardy men who are con-
templating coming this way. One
schooner, the Oscar and Hattie, with
headquarters at Seattle, has made
$4,000 this season, the men in her
all working on shares.
There is no reason why such en-
terprise should not win here. Ex-
perienced men say this is even bet
ter headquarters for such fishing
than any point on the Sound. Con-
tiguity to the ocean, immunity from
the teredo, convenience of wharfage
and other facilities give Astoria, in
this regard. the advantage.
A movement has been on foot here
this week in this direction, which
THE Historian believes should be en-
couraged. Briefly it is this: Capt.
A. A. Henderson, an old experienced
fisherman himself, Capt. Geo. Nor
tensen, of Skamokawa, and others
have conceived the idea of building
schooner especially adapted for the
business, to be manned by Gloucester
fishermen, working on shares, hailing
from Astoria, with headquarters here,
the nucleus of what is destined to be
great and profitable industry.
The proposition is to build 125-
ton schooner, costing $4,000, fitting
her out with necessary lines and rig
ging, costing, say, 81 800 more, and
catching halibut, shipping it from
here to Chicago and other eastern
cities where the demand for such fish
always exceeds the supply.
Capt. Mortensen is an experienced
builder, his last vessel being the
schooner Michigan, built for Colwell
Il CO., Skamokawa. He and Capt.
Henderson have enlisted the atten-
tion of several of our business men.
A working capital of about $4,000
would be required, the idea being to
form a joint stock company and go
ahead.
This Is simply proposition of en-
bracing our opportunities. 1t is
in such enterprises as these that As
toria's commercial prosperity lies,
and if this community ignores its ad-
vantages in this respect, other COM
munities will reach out and secure
what might be ours for the taking.

A farmer had thirty geese which he
concluded to take to market and sell
at the rate Of two geese for 81. His
neighbor also had thirty geese which
he asked the farmer to sell for him
at the rate of three geese for 81.
When he arrived in town with the
sixty geese he was met by a man
who asked how he would sell the
geese. If you take all together you
can have the lot at the rate of five
geese for 81" the farmer replied.
The bargain was made and the far
mer received his pay. S24. When he
paid $40 to his neighbor for his thirty
geese at three for 81 and counted his
balance it struck him that he ought
TO have S15 for his own thirty geese
two for 81, while he only has Sl4,
and he wondered what become Of the
other dollar. Why did he not have
Sl5 for his geese:

OF Rev. Rob't Nourse, who lectures
on John and Jonathan" at the Con-
gregational church tonight, the
Sauk, Wis, Democrat says: "The
lecture on Tuesday evening last by
Rev. Robert Nourse was the best ever
delivered in Baraboo. Mr.. Nourse is
a man of remarkable, almost phe-
nomenal power. We cannot attempt
to tell or even begin to tell all the
delightful things he said. The lec-
ture could not have been more fresh
if the subject had been one of which
we had never heard before. 1t could
not have been more instructive if the
field had been one which had never
been investigated before. 1t had
passages of thrilling eloquence.
Flashes of the keenest wit illumin-
ated almost every paragraph. The
humor that convulsed his hearers
came just often enough to rest them,
so that the two hours consumed in
the delivery seemed too short, and
ali were sorry to have him stop. AT
the close of the lecture it was sug.
gested that he be recalled at some
early date to repeat it, and the sug
gestion was received with hearty ap
| plause."

In the act of Growing, often null
sance to sleepy humanity, a bird
stands up and then stretches his neck
to its fullest extent. A small lath
loosely suspended about eighteen
inches above the perch will obviate
this. 1t in no way interferes with the
birds roosting, but the moment chan
ticleer contemplates a nuisance the
swinging lath comes gently into con
tact with his comb and effectuaily
stops him.

The outlook for loggers on the
Sound is not so bright as it might be.
The large mill operators, seeing that
the surplus of logs is to be great this
fall, Notwithstanding the curtailment
of the outfit by Puget Sound Log
gers association, have decided to cut
down the price of logs, and now the
price is reported at $3.50 thousand.
The starting of the rebuilt Blakely
mill was expected to help the market,
but such was not the case, as that
company's loggers have been cutting
timber ever since the mill burned
and now they have in the water more
logs than the mill can use for several
months. In other quarters the log
gers seem to have been disappointed
in their estimates and they are now
placed where they will have to reduce
wages or shut down their camps. A
change in these conditions is not
looked for inside of five months.

THE EXHIBITION AND WHAT IT BROUGHT.
There was an exhibition of pictures in an
upper room on fashionable street. The
artists had collected their unsold productions
and proposed TO offer them at auction. There
were sketches Of White Mountain scenery
Newport, Long Branch and other beaches
woodland prospects, farm houses with we'll
sweeps, reedy marshes and ponds, together
with the usual variety of ideal heads and
figures,--a very pretty collection. The
artists had gone forth like bees, and gathered
whatever was sweetest in every field through
wide circuit, and now the lover of the
beautiful might have his choice of the re-
suits without the fatigue of travel
Defects enough there were to critical eyes,
false drawing, Geld color, and unsuccessful
distances still there was much to admire,
and the spirit and intention were Interesting
even where the inexperience of the painter
was only too apparent
A group of visitors entered the
room; lady in the prime Of
beauty, richly but modestly dressed
casting quick chances on all sides
yet with an air of quiet self-possession; a
gentleman, her brother apparently, nearly
40 years of age, dignitied and progressing
a second lady ia widows weeds, and a young
gentleman with successful mustaches, lemon
colored gloves and coat which just missed
the grace Of flowing ontline without the
compensation Of setting off a good figure.
The lady first mentioned seemed born to take
the lead; it was no assumption in her
incedo regina was the expression of her
gracefully poised head and her stately
carriage. "a pretty bit" she said, careless.
