An up-country editor takes this consola.
tlon amidst all the adversities and disap-
to which his vocation is heir:
while the life of a country editor Is far
from being one of continual peace and hap
plness, still he at all times has an abiding
faith in the thought that after his death his
children will not quarrel and fight over his
property; and this assurance aids him ma
terially in bearing life's burdens. The
darkest cloud has silver lining"
The hop acreage In Western Washing
ton is considerably increased this year

The vines are looking healthy and grow
ing well, although the weather has been
unusually cold for this season of the year.

pirate ceremonies ON May TO- III and II.
They have been grossly taken in, however.
in the printing Of the invitations. A fine
and artistic map and view of Astoria is lith-
ographed on the back of the invitation, but
some real estate boomers, evidently worked
the committee and had a townsite across
the river to appear on the map in big letters
and showing city bigger than Astoria.
The citizens of Astoria who paid $500 for
the work are pretty indignant.

Albany has enjoyed more prosperity in
the last few years than ever before, and
this is explained by the enterprise of her
business men. Not satisfied with q WOOL
en- factory, she is looking forward to q
tannery, and in this connection We quote
from the Herald: "a definite proposition
has been made, 1t is said, by Messrs.
Riggs and Shea, of Brownsville, to re-
move their tannery from that place and
to locate it at Albany, providing the citi-
zens here will take stock in the enter
prise to the amount of $50c0. The mat
ter is worthy of full investigation, for
every manufacturing enterprise that
promises permanency and success should
be induced to come here if possible" ?.
Idaho Avalanche: Word was teiephoned
up from DeLamar Tuesday evening that w.
A. Steele, carpenter. had been shot by
Peter Medlin, miner, and q little later the
announcement was received that Steele was
dead. From reports of the sad affair it
seems that the two men, who were near
neighhors, were quarrelhng about an out
house belonging to Medlin, which from its
location was obnoxious to Steele. After
some words. Medlin went into his house
and procuring a shot gun deliberately shot
Steele, both their wives being present. Mrs.
Steele rushed to her husband as he fell, and
while IN the act Of raising him up Medlin
pulled the other barrel of the gun, which
fortunately only snapped. The shot took
effect in Steele's side, nearly disem boweling
HIM, and after two hours Of great agony he
died.
