Dangers Of Tree Saving.

On this northwest coast the saw has
largely supplanted the ak in telling
timber, but the change is severe upon
the woodsmen. After being sawed
partly through, tree is forced over
by inserting a number of steel wedges
in the kerf, which are driven in with
steel sledges. They are set in as
closely together as possible, and the
driving of the wedges frequently re-
quires three hours or more. The
constant contact of the steel sledges
with the steel wedges results in chip
ping off fragments which fly with
great force, and in numerous instan-
ces become imbedded in the flesh of
the workmen, requiring surgical op-
erations to remove them. Many eyes
have been lost in this way, while
arm and shoulder wounds are fre-
quent. Some means of protection
against the sharp missile is needed.

How Men Die,

If we know all the methods of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
Of the body sufices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms Of a Cough,
Gold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
actor of any home"

A Rough Bar at San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, March 19.-The
bar at the entrance to the Golden
Gate is still breaking badly, and al
though the gale has moderated, bar
bound vessels are prevented from
leaving the harbor until more favora-
BILE reports can be obtained as to the
condition of the bar. The steamer
EUG arrived off the heads this morn

passage from Kahului. When cross
ing the bar three heavy seas washed
her decks, smashing in her stern rail-

man at the wheel was caught in the
wreck of the railing and was severely
injured. The captain of the vessel
considers his experience narrow es-

Some Salmon Surmises.

tits difficult to quote the market in
satisfactory way. There are many
inquiries, but with the pack SO
largely sold ahead very little actual
business is being done, upon which
to base quotations. It is hardly nec-
essary to say that the very firm tone
heretofore reported is still strongly
maintained and the indications, as
we view them, are Of higher prices in
the near future. The pack will not
be as large as anticipated and there
are some dealers who openly avow q
disbelief that the futures already
sold will be packed. In such an
event outside prices must certainly
be realized on packs of established
reputation.-,SGn Francisco Herald

Grocer, says: The ing uiry for
Columbia river salmon is steady,
whilst there is an active demand for
Alaska, which is gaining favor in con-
sequence OF the red color Of the flesh.
Some surprise is expressed that
Columbia river salmon has attracted
SO little attention this year, but when
the difference In price between this
description and Alaska fish is con-
sidered it should not surprise any
one. With Alaska red fish at $1.30
export and Columbia river at S1.65, a
difference of S1.40 per case, it is easy
to understand why the former is pre-
ferred. As the season advances and
domestic buyers are obi iged to enter
the market to supply current needs,
it is not improbable Columbia river
fish, early delivery particularly, will
be in active reques.-SGn Francisco
