entered the first public house we
found, and the clock on the wall
showed the same time as my watch.
In other words, we had ascended
from the roof of my store in Ohio
and waited there till San Francisco
came to US.

Helens Mist, who have been engaged
at Columbia City in packing sturgeon
for shipment to the eastern market
for the past year, moved their estab-
lishment to Kalama this week, where
they will commence packing as soon
as the season opens. The change was
made necessary by the new method
they will use to preserve their fish
while in transit. Instead of barreling
them and using preservaline, they will
freeze their fish and ship them in re-
frigerator cars, which will necessitate
quick handling, for il the fish after be-
ing frozen thaw the least particle be-
fore put in the refrigerator they will
