Mr.. FL. A. STAIRS, who contracted to
supply and lay the new Columbia
river cable from Astoria to Fort
Candy, is on pins and needles over the
slow progress it is making across the
continent. He has good reason to be
uneasy, for if the cable is not in place
by the 25th inst. he forfeits 500 for
every day that transpires after that
date until the cable is in place. As
the cable was on the Northern Pacific
lines, Mr.. S. G. Fulton was the gen.
tleman to give the following explena-
ton to the Ne1CS of the cables delay
THE cable is in two tanks of water
which are loaded on Pennsylvania
railroad cars. The two tanks, includ-
ing their contents, weigh 69,C90
pounds. When it is considered that
freight cars load is 20,CJ0 pounds
it will be seen that the car containing
the cable is over weighted. As a re.
suit the journals have been over
heated, burning out the brasses, ne
cessitating the car being sidetracked
until new brasses could be put in.
In order to avoid further delay the
car will be thoroughly overhauled
when 1t reaches Heron, and a me-
chan1c will accompany it to Portlan d,
supplying brasses whenever needed
on the trip. A car has never passed
over the road with as heavy a load.
The cable was imported from En-
gland and is covered with a gutta
percha coating, which protects it
from the water. If the head cable is
exposed to the air it becomes cracked
and practically useless, which ac-
counts for its being transported across
the continent in water. On the ar
rival of the car here the car will be
run down to the waters edge and the
cable will be taken out of the car
tanks and recoiled into similar ones
on barge. which will convey it to
its destination at Astoria"
Mr.. Fulton thinks the cable will
arrive here before the 25th. 1t is to
be hoped it will, for Mr.. STAIRS sake.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
fiicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was CON-
paratively unknown,-to-day it is rs
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
tine meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. SO it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate

gust Flower. Its cures are mar

BRITISH COLUMBIA SALMON CAN
NERIES,

The Victoria, British Columbia,
Standard of the 10th, contains the
following information on the run:
The salmon run in the Fraser river
is much more encouraging of late.
Last Sunday night the boats averaged
60 and 20 each. If the run holds up
to that average the seasons catch on
the Fraser will be fairly good. The
same paper on the like date contains
the following information on the
pack further up the British Columbia
coast.
Amongst the arrivals on the Carl
boo Fly is Mr.. Thomas Mowatt, in
spector of fisheries, who has been
paying an official visit to the northern
fisheries. Mr.. Mowatt states that
there is little chance of the Skeena
river being over fshed, as owing to
the present arrangement it is only
possible to fish eight hours out of
the twenty-four, and that this, with
the weekly close time, gives a better
chance to the fish to ascend to the
spawning grounds in the higher
reaches of the river. The various
packs, as near as could be estimated
until the fish are cased, are as fol-
lows:

CLOSED DOWN
For an Inde flute Period,

Last Saturday morning, says the
White Pine News, under orders from
superintendent Carothers, the Argus
series OF mines were closed down and
all hands discharged. The following
day Mr.. Underhill came up and paid
Off. As the order came unexpected
even to Mr.. Underhill, who repre-
sents the Eastern owners or five
eighths of the property, it looks as if
MIR. Carothers used an arbitrary
power and one that he certainly can
not revoke, as we learn he was anxious
to do the next day. To us his action
looks, like killing the goose that
layed the golden egg" for himself as
we'll as many others. His action is
still more strange in view of the fact
that the mine is looking better now
than at any time within the past six
months.
Since the company commenced op-
erations here four years ago they have
taken out nearly a million dollars
gross, with the crudest of working ap-
pliances and a management more
changeable than the lunar phases.
1t is true that this vast amount of
money was spent in working the prop
erty and paying for it, and little if any
OF it found its way into the owners
pockets. AS it is private company,
that always promptly met its obliga-
tlons, neither the press nor public had
any right to criticise its mode of oper-
alton, and we have refrained from do
ing SO.
The Argus mines, after four years
work, have been barely scratched, GER
tainly not prospected, and all the indi-
cations point to extensive mineral de-
posits that when economically ex-
tracted will keep their mill running
for score of years to come.
How long this property will remain
idle, no one here knows. That will
altogether depend on what course the
Eastern owners will pursue. Mr.. I'm
derhill has written for instructions,
and by the 1st of August the problem
will be solved whether work will be re-
sumed or not. We earnestly hope
it will, and under more stable man
agement than in the past.

LITTLE DOY BLUE.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And there was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till come," he said,
"And don't you mind any noise!"
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamed of the pretty toys.
And rs he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of little face;
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust Of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Two HALVES Of "a Note.

A few days ago the Treasury Depart
ment received from Brooklyn the half OF
a $50 note and an affidavit made by Mrs.
Ann Ennis of that city in which she
sworn that the other half had been
chewed up by her child. The next day
the Treasury Department received an
affidavit from John Shea of New York
which also contained half of $40 Treas.
ury note, which he desired to have re-
deemed. Shea's affidavit stated that the
bill had been torn in half accidentally
and that he had lost the other half. This
half bore the same number as the half
which had been received from Mrs.
Ennis the day before. The two halves
were laid together and it was found that
the torn edges matched exactly.

I-OYic is Logic.

The following from the Philadelphia
Times bespeaks young man with a
future: "Willie Stephens Of Pitts
burg is not only an Industrious scholar,
but an entirely ambitious one, and
when the other day he set his mind
on capturing the highest mark in the
Barkersville Academy he meant to be
successful in the undertaking. The
great barrier TO his ambition was his
fellow-student, Juliet Bennett, who
was also in the race for knowledge
with William. When the marks were
announced, it was found that she had
beaten him by one-tenth of one per
cent. Now William was resolved that
a little obstacle like that should not
stand in his way, so he got q marriage
license, hired q minister and married
Juliet Immediately after the conclusion
OF the commencement exercises. The
girl had the highest mark, but he has
the girl, and by the simplest law OF
logic he is consequently the possessoi
OF both.
