CANINE PARADOX.

Prof. G. Norris and his wonderful
troupe of performing dogs, will give
an entertainment at Ross opera
house tonight. He comes very high
ly recommended and has, no doubt,
the finest exhibition of the kind ever
witnessed on the American stage. The
Portland OregOniGn says: Two per-
formances, one in the afternoon and
the other in the evening, were given
yesterday by Prof. Norris with his
troupe of trained dogs at the New
Park theater. At the matinee there
was crowded house, composed prin-
cipally of women and children. In
the evening they were greeted by an
other large house. 1t was the unan-
imous verdict that this was one of
the best exhibitions Of canine intelli-
gence ever witnessed in this city.
The performances certainly substan-
tiated every claim made for these
dogs. Such acting, tumbling and
almost human understanding as is
displayed by these dogs is something
not to be witnessed often, and the
professor who has had the patience
and perseverance to undertake such
a training deserves great credit. Fritz,
the king of dogs, is deserving of spe-
cial mention, The three clown dogs
kept the audience in a roar of laugh
ter. All the rest of the dogs acted
their parts equally well. The entire
entertainment gave thorough salts
faction, as the large and appreciatiye
audience testified"
Prices of admission fifty and seven.

FROM THE CANNERIEs.

The fisherman's union are rerfect-
ing arrangements to barrel their
catch, and have salt ordered from be-
low. So large a number of our home
people depend on the fishing season
for the means wherewith to lay in
winter supplies and square their re-
spective store accounts that it is to
be hoped there will be close and care
| full management of their affairs, and
that the price of barreled salmon will
remain firm and remunerative.-Ban-
don Recorder.
J.B. Upton is busily engaged in re-
fitting and repairing his fishery on
the Little Nestucca river, and will
commence to fish as soon as the
salmon run.
The Bandon Recorder publishes
the fishermen's union reply to an ar
ticle in previous issue. The union
maintains that the price asked for
fish is not too high; it doubts the
statement in regard to the canneries
on the river losing the amounts
stated; it answers Johnny Hume by
returning the compliment and will
ignore him in future, but will treat
with the English Flag Packing Co.,
and stands firm for the price demand
ed.-Coos Bay NeooS.
Hume's trap on the Coquille has
already commenced to take in salmon.
-NelOS.
The limited number of boats fish
ing on the bay continue to make fair
catches.-NeoOS.
There seems to be trouble brewing
among the fishermen on the Coquille.
1t is reported that Mr.. J. W. Hume
telegraphed on Monday night to the
sheriff, stating that his men had been
assaulted and his property stolen,
and asking for deputies to be sent
over at once for his protection
Coast Mail, Aug. 80.
The differences between the can
neries and the fishermen on the Co
guile are not yet adjusted. Some ot
the cannery men drove piles and ar
ranged fish trap which worked well
one day, but the fishermen drove piles
Just below it and started trap on
their own hook.-Coast Mail, 80.
Fishermen have been catching from
two to four hundred salmon per day
during the week. The fall run has
not yet set in, and those caught are
genuine spring salmon. They aver
age about double the size of the
Klamath river salmon.-CWTy Co
Gazette.

A unique feature of the laying of
the Columbia river cable between
Fort Stevens and Scarborough head
last Saturday, was the fact that while
1t was being paid out, Sergeant Grit
fin, at Fort Stevens, was in constant
telegraphic communication with
Lieut.. Swift, who had q relay instru-
ment on board the Wdllatski. So
soon as the land line is completed to
the Cape. messages can be sent in
stantly to Fort Stevens, and then tele-
graphed or telephoned to the signal
service Office in this oity.

Bat Perhaps She Won't.

The fact is that the oregon ran
aground ON st. Helens bar, and after
some little trouble was backed off
into deep water. 1t was foggy and
dark, and the captain of the Oregon
did not like to take chances of run
ming aground again, and so he re-
mained where he was and sent up the
passengers on the Z. j. Potter, which
arrived up at an early hour this
morning. The Oregon will come up
the river this forenoon.-NeIpS,3 3.

word that Fred Newton had ever
said was pulsating through the air of
that parlor-white lies and black lies,
cutting things said before peoples
faces, and cruel things said behind
their backs, and every one of them
seemed to have sting in it, just as if
they were a swarm of hornets, so that
poor Fred was fairly writhing in
mental agony, when suddenly anoth-
err voice, this time not his own, but
his beloved mothers, overpowered
all the others as it called out merri-
ly:
"Why, Fred dearest, what's the
matter with you? You're squirming
about on the rug like an eel in hot
water. You shouldn't go to sleep 50
near the fire."
And Fred, springing to his feet
with a cry of relief, threw his arms
around his mothers neck, and giving
her hug worthy of a young bear,
while the tears brimmed his bright
eyes, exclaimed with quite astonish-
ed her:
"Mother darling, I'll never say an
unkind word againw
1t would, of course, be too much to
expect that Fred kept his promise to
the very letter; but this may be said,
at all events, that both his TENDER
and his tongue were under better
control ever after.

Helen Campbell claims, with truth,
that sweeping is far less frequent

be removed, but damp cloth is key
to its removal, and the damp-cloth sys-

well as wear and tear to the carpets.
Says the authority mentioned: "Put q

warm water and wipe the carpet with
a cloth wrung out from this water.
The dust is removed, the colors
freshened, and every stray moth

Too Slow.

The first electric telegraph was put
n operation between Baltimore and
Washington, 1915, Congress having
appropriated eight thousand dollars
to keep it running for one year,as an
experiment. For the first four days
after it was opened to the public,
the receipts were nothing. On the
fifth, twelve and half cents. OF the
many amusing incidents of those ear
ly days, one of the best is the follow
ing, which used to be related by Pro-
fessor Morse himself.
A pretty little girl tripped into the
Washington Office, and after great
deal of hesitation and blushing asked
how long it would stake to send to
Baltimore" The interesting appear.
ance of the little questioner attracted
Mr.. Morse's attention, and he very
blandly replied:
zone second"
"Oh, how delightful! how delight
full" calculated the little beauty, her
eyes glistening with rapture. some
second only-here, send this even
quicker, if you cam" and Mr.. Morse
found in his hand a neatly.folded,
gilt-edged note,th very perfume and
shape of which told a volume of
love.
81 cannot send this note" said Mr..
Morse, with some feeling; sit is i'm
possible"
"Oh do, do" implored the distract
ed girl, William and I have had a
quarrel, and 1 shall die if he don't
know that 1 forgive him in a second
I know l SHALL"
"Mr. Morse still objected to send
ing the note, when the fair one, bright
ening up, asked:
"You will send me on, then, won't
your"
Perhaps" said one of the clerks"
sit would take your breath away to
travel forty miles in a secondw
"Ohno, it won't, if it carries me to
William! The cars in the morning
go so slow / can't wait for them"
Mr.. Morse now comprehended the
mistake which the petitioner was
was laboring under, and attempted
to explain the process of carrying in
formation along the wires.
The girl listened for few moments
impatiently, and then rolled her
burning epistle into ball, in the ex-
element under which she labored,
and thrust it into her bosom.
cts too Slow" she finally exclaim-
ed; sits too slow and my heart will
break before William knows / for
give him; and you are a cruel man,
Mr.. Morse" said the fair creature,
the tears coming into her eyes, "that
you won't let me travel by the tele.
graph to see William"
And, full of emotion, she left the
office, illustrating the truth of the
poets wish:
"Annihilate but space and time,
And make two lovers hapny."
