An Astoria man tells an Oregonian
reporter that a fisherman told him
that he had heard that gang of sea
lions from Tillamook had picked up
some gill nets lost by fishermen and
strung them around on some snags
out on Clatsop spit, forming a rude
trap, and that they spread themselves
around in a huge circle and drive
scores of salmon into this trap, and eat
them at their leisure. This is partly
right and partly wrong. The sealions
held convention and decided upon
doing that, but on examination found
that it was impossible to find a loca-
ton for trap, rude or refined, as
every available spot had already been
filed on by trap men who had already
proved up. Nothing like getting
these things right.

Fresh, breezy advertisements are
not by any means the least interesting
and valuable points of a live, wide
awake journal. Some publishers re-
gard advertisements as a necessary
evil, hoping to see the time when the
profits Of the paper would enable them
to dispense with such patronage.
Why so? Advertisements are news
They tell the reader what is for sale,
the price, also where purchases should
be made. The editor and correspond
ents and telegraphic reporter do not
furnish all that is interesting. The
skillful advertiser, by his way of put
ting things and calling attention to
his goods, does much to make a news
paper valuable and interesting.

DRS. DARRIN.
Those Prominent Physicians AstO und the
Medical World Of The Northwest, by
Their Wonderful Cures,

Two years ago, the Drs. Darrin
visited Portland as strangers: In
that space of time they have effected
SO many wonderful cures that their
name is known in every household on
the coast. Their cures and operations
are SO quick and miraculous that
some physicians of good standing
have even been willing to take thei1
oaths that they were impossible. Now
the Doctors have had scores of cases
from this vicinity and throughout the
whole northwest, that prove the truth
of their wonderful cures.
They submit the following card
which can be referred to; and could
fill this page with home cures, if we
could spare the space:
