A Mans Opinion,

It was a wise man who said on the
subject of woman's dress: Il have found
invariably that those women who really
understand the art Of dress, who know
what to wear and when to wear it, have
taste and intelligence of a more refined
order than those who regard costumes
in the light of mere clothes, and who not
only reveal no appreciation Of a wom-
ans obligations to look her best at all
times. but affect to treat dress altogether
as a subject only for the attention Of
frivolous minds"

Flight of an Attorney.

At Beagles school house the 9TH

composing a jury sat on a bench
for the purpose of trying a case or
to witness a case that vas to have
been tried by Attorneys Edmonston
of Mexico and Grubb of Laddon1a.
But the Laddonia lawyer kicked

he was seen going down the home.

lance of the Mexico attorney the
jury rendered a verdict in accor-
dance with the above facts.
The lower house of congress, in
cutting the salaries of the officers
of the national committee of the
Worlds Fair, has created more
talk than any other event that has
t%ranspired since the fair agitation
began. The pay of the director
general was cut from s12, 900 to
5 $500; the president from $12, 600
to $1,000; secretary from $4,000
to $780,, and other expenses, so
far as possible. were reduced in a
like manner. Almost everybody
will agree that the salaries were
too large in the first place, and
many will think they are plenty
now. The people who are running
the Fair are very much d~ispleased.
and it is difficult to tell what effect
the cut will have on future opera

AGRICULTURE

While this is timber country 1t must
not be supposed that agriculture is ne
elected; on the contrary, along the rivers
and streams many good farms have been
cleared off that produce the finest vege-
tables in the world, grass in immense
quantities and most excellent fruit. Many
varieties Of apples, pears, plums, prunes,
cherries and small fruits are grown in
profusion and great perfection.
The best grain crop in this section ia
oats, after which wheat, rye, and harley.
Corn does not do we'll, nor any crop re-
quiring hot days and nights, as these we
do not have. Beside the home market,
we have all the world easy OF access, but
the home demand is so great for all the
products Of the country that there is at
present no need Of shipping abroad.
For dairying there is no country on
earth superior to this. With abundance
Of pure water, no hot weather and unex-
celled pasturage, there is at present every
condition for successful and profitable
dairying.

TIMBER.

AS elsewhere stated, the lumber trade
is the chief industry Of Aberdeen. To
make this prominent and enduring the
matter Of supply is Of vital Importance
and the requirements are fully met.
North, east and south Of Grays harbor
there is such quantity of timber available
that no child born into the world to-day
can expect to see it used up or even be-
come difficult Of access. The timber bear
ing land within reasonable reach Of the
waters Of the harbor are variously esti-
mated at from two to four thousand square
miles, and when it is considered that
there are from four to fifty million
feet to the square mile, the figures Of the
available supply are simply enormous.
All this timber must necessity find it's
way down the rivers that flow into the
harbor, and the saving Of it into lunber
will alone build great city at Aberdeen.

VACANT LANDS.

There is little Government land near
Aberdeen to be taken up, except in the
unserveyed districts to the north and q
small section Of country south Of the
hafuur; OF this there is yet large
amount unoccupied. Actual possession
is the only title obtainable to unsurveyed
lands, but the settler in good faith has no
trouble to hold his claim.
From the tenor Of advices from WASH
ington City, it is believed there will be
sufficient money obtainable to survey all
these lands within reasonable time,
rendering them soon available for entry.

rood FISHERIES.

No uncomfortable item Of the natural
resources Of this region 10 its fisheries,
and the canning Of salmon, as noticed
elsewhere, is profitable and growing in
dustry. The salmon are large. plentiful
and of unsurpassed quality. Some Of the
direrent varieties are caught at all times
Of the year, and the home market ia
always supplied. Rock and tom-cod,
white bass or porgies, founders, halibut,
and herring are also plentiful. Smelt and
American sardines are taken in great
numbers. These are the fish Of CONNER
cial importance, but does not include
trout which are found in abundance.
Among shell-fish are shrimps, crabs
and CLAIMS of several varieties. HOLSTERS
have been planted here and are propagat-
ing very rapidly.

At about $50 Saturday night fire was

Mrs. Boyle, near the Maine Central station
in this city. 1t was fret seen by Mr.. Il. II
Penney, the night switch tender, whose
station is in that immediate vicinity, and
the alarm was given at once. The de-
pariment did good service after they got
upon the spot, and the fire was confined to
the ell, in the upper part Of which it was
discovered, the roof Of the main house and
the stable which was totally destroyed.
The most Of Mrs. Boyle's goods were taken
out and saved, but the contents Of
the rooms occupied respectively by MIR.
