Regarding the recent sudden death
of Mrs. DIR. G. j. Hill, of North Yaki-
ma, w. T., it is learned that the de-
ceased lady had been suffering from
a severe attack of neuralgia, from
which she could find no relief. In
the absence of her husband she went,
as was her custom, to his medical
chest and took a dose of morphine to
relieve PAIN and put her to sleep.
The first dose not sufficing, she took
a second and went to sleep. The
doctor returning late from his round
of visits was pleased to find his wife
asleep, thinking she was better. He
turned in by her side and slept sound.
ly until morning, when he was awak-
ened by their little three year old
boy, who complained that he could
not awaken mamma" 1t did moi
take the doctor long to realize what
had happened. Frantic with grief he
speedily secured all the medical tai
ent available, and everything posi-
BILE was done to snatch the doomed
woman from the jaws of death. but
to no purpose.

A CHAPTER ABOUT DOCTORS.

Right here and now THE Historian
rises to remark that it is not fair, nor
right, to call a disciple of Esculapius
"Doc." Call him doctor or don't call
him at all. It knocks all the dignity
out of man to cut him off with q
bob-tailed "Doc." Doctors have
enough Of annoyance and bother
without being whitfield down that
way. Talking of doctors, it is not
likely that there is q more overworked
and thankless lot than that of a doc
tor. When a doctor pulls you
through and saves you from joining
the majority, your first impulse is
one Of Heaven-born gratitude. THAT
is the time for the doctor to bring in
his BILLY. "God bless you, doctor,
you've saved my life" Three weeks
after: "Oh, yes,-this is your bill, is
it? All right, I'll look it over" Three
months after. "Look here, Doc; good
God! seems to me that's a pretty
steep bill of yours" And the doctor
who devoted all his skill, time, en-
ergy and effort to save the man from
dying has to stand around and de-
fend himself and explain about his
bill. First the man has the doctor
save his life and then tries to beat
him out of the cost. thus illustrating
the value he puts on it.
OF course there are doctors and
doctors, but there are very few doc
tors that charge more than their ser
vices are worth.
It's funny to see how men will
dodge paying bill that they justly
owe.
A certain physician of this town
had been remarkably assiduous in
medical attendance on one man, and
after a tussle with Death, by skill
and science and main strength had
managed to get his patient out of
bed. Three months after he brought
in his bill. He got few dollars; his
visits to that family were no longer
called for; a year after he got a few
dollars more, oD account. Finally,
after three years he ventured to sug-
gest that he would like little on &C.
count.
"Well, Doc" said the mau, "I've
had a heap of sickness in my family
lately. and I've been 30 busy paying
doctors bills, I've got no money.
You'll have to wait"

James McGrath, Peter Tregansi
and III. Nelson were drowned last
Monday morning while fishing of
Arch rock. The fishermen who re.
ported the matter to the authorities
says that their boat capsized in the
swell just after the steamer Queen of
the Pacific passed it. The fisherman
was quarter of mile distant in his
boat, and before he could reach the
men where they were struggling in
the water, they had disappeared. A
telegram from point Bonita says the
Queen Of the Pacific stopped and
picked something up, but from the
fisherman's statement it is not likely
that any of the men were saved.

During the month of September,
'S8, there was rainfall OF 2.32 inches.
In September, 'S7, the rainfall was
4.82 inches; in 'S6, 433 inches; in '85.
4.33 inches; in 'S4, 6.32 inches; in '8S
but that's far back enough. 1t was
a dry September. There was only
one foggy day in the whole month.
There were no frosts, no high winds;
the highest temperature was go on
the 25th, the lowest, 49, on the 18th
and 22nd. The prevailing direction
of wind was southwest; its highest
velocity was "a miles anortheaster-
on the 14th and 25th. The mean

Upon her arrival from Portland
yesterday afternoon the Telephone
was about to land bow on at her
dock. The bell had been rung to
stop, and the jingle bell to reverse;
two bells we're pulled to back, but
only one sounded, the boat going
ahead, humping into the piles on the
end of the Canby'S dock, and hit the
C0nby a smashing blow in the bow,
flattening out the latter's nose and
doing a little damage to the bow of
the Telephone. Just astern of the
Canby was the .R. X. Thompson,
which received O rap from the CANDY
when struck by the Telephone. There
was a lively scampering when the
bows of the Candy and Telephone
collided, but no one was hurt, and
there is some resultant damage. 1t
was an unavoidable accident, one of
the kind that may not occur again for
ten years.

was over there at one haul of one of
his nets six tons of sea trout, as they
are called, were caught. People who
came along were given all they wanted
and Mr.. Guistin salted lot and still
many were wasted, although the lead
