MALAY PRINCESS.

The anchor of her H. NJ. S. Pelorus had
hardly found the bottom of Amer Head
one pleasant morning in June, 1865, before
she was surrounded with a bumboat feet.

Only one shilling! Mongoose, mongoose,
lovely mongoose. Sweet potato, pomolo,
banana, plantain, yams," were the shouts
OF the Malay boatmen as they clustered
around the ship prepared to reap a rich
harvest. And they were not disappointed,
for the waist of the ship in twenty minutes
looked like a vegetable and food market
with monkey, mongoose and a lot of birds
with the most brilliant plumage thrown in.
We were to cruise about the Straits of
Sunda and the China seas in search of
plratlcal junks, which were at that time
very bold and troublesome in those waters.
In the gunroom mess, which numbered
eight all told, was a young Welshman
named Daniels, who was my particular
chum. We had served in the Australian
squad together, we had shared the penal
ties of many an escapade, and it several
times happened that while 1 was astride of

and though as full of mischief as
monkey is of tricks, was withal a good
and efficient officer.
We were all impatient to stretch our legs
ashore and curious to explore the land of
the deadly Upas. Java is country so in
tensely tropical that every form of life and
plant characteristic of the tropics has there
an exaggerated development. The next
morning Daniels and myself went ashore.
The town, AMER, since destroyed by an
earthquake, was at that period most in
teresting place. 1t was approached by a
narrow estuary having on one side the

huts the Batavian called out and a young
girl appeared. She was one of the most

stood at the door of this hut impressive as a
bronze statue while the Batavian, in her
own language, asked permission to exam

with a surprised air at the young officer,

handsome features and his merry laughing
eyes, was grand specimen of the we'll

understood that there was compliment
in Daniels remark, for she smiled at him
pleasantly.
Shake hands," said Daniels, extending
his own, and the village beauty laid her
palm confidingly in his, and began to ex-
anime the rings on his finger with childish
curiosity.

mailed closely sealed, free TO every man or woman
who would study this subject for their own adj
vancement. In this work are embodied the plain,
candid truths relating TO the development and re-

young, middle-aged and old men.
"Who lacks in one function, while vigorous in all
others, is not Nature made him and must be re-
newed."
Weakness in the vital organs is unnatural in all
men. It is due to improper care of the functions
endowed by Nature with perfect vigor, and since
Nature gives this strength, if it has been wasted
she must be called upon to renew 1t. Natural RENE
dies must be used. Nothing bears a closer relation
to the elements of sexual and nerve force than
electricity. 1t is natural. 1t is nature, embodied

LOOKING FOR HEIRS.

Enterprising American in BUSH
ness Venture,

John Wilson, an Englishman keeping
secondhand store, died in 1894, leaving an
estate worth several thousand dollars, but
no will nor known heirs. 3. H. Burke of
1924 Clay street cav an opportunity for
stroke of business. He at once put him
self in communication with different peo-
pie with the idea of finding an heir. Among
others he wrote to the Lord Mayor of Lon
don, hoping to get some gratuitous adver-
Using. AS result the following notice ap-
peared in the London Westminster Gazette:
AN OWNER FOR A FORTUNE WANTED.-The Lord
Mayor has received a letter from ]. H. Burke of
205 Franklin street, San Francisco, stating that
John Henry Bernard Wilson, an Englishman
died intestate there in June last, leaving con-
siderable sum of money, which, in default of
heirs, will escheat to the State OF California
The deceased was born in London about 1888
and was in the royal navy for a short period
He settled in San Francisco in 1854 first as
boot and shoemaker, and latterly as the keeper
of hardware store. Itis believed he has sister
living. The Lord Mayors correspondent adds:
81 know of no way of giving this money into
the hands of Wilson'S relatives except through
your kind assistance. viii you do us all the
kindness to ask the newspapers of London to
give publicity to the facts above stated?
Several letters of inquiry have been re-
ceived by MIR. Burke. No heir has as yet
been discovered.

No damage has been done by the
recent frosts. Where the frosts
were heavy, the vegetation has not
advanced sufficiently for damage to
be done; in the Columbia river val
ley the frost was to light to do
injury. Strawberries are ripening
rapidly throughout the Columbia
river valley and large shipments
are being daily made. The crop is
an unusually heavy one. Cherries
are ripe at Hood River and at The
Dalles.
The rain was great benefit to
the grain crop. There is a large
acreage Of spring and volunteer
grain this year, especially in Gill
lam and Morrow counties; more
than the usual grain of this kind
IS in Wasco, Sherman and Una
tilla counties; spring and volunteer
grain requires frequent and timely
rain to make crop. The present
condition is good, but the farmers
are nervous over possible hot, dry
winds this month. FaIl-sown or

more promising; it has stooled we'll
and has good stand. It is now
heading rapidly. Rye has headed
and will soon be ready to cut. The
hay crop has been greatly benefited
by the rains, and like in the west
ern portion Of the state, q heavy
crop will be secured. Grasshop-
pers are usually plentiful in por-
tions of Gillian and Morrow coun-
ties. Range grass is good and the

The Horse-Meat Project.

The Western Packing Company,
which was incorporated a short
time since for the purpose of en-.
gaging in the business Of slaughter
ing horses and selling preserved
horse flesh, ETC., and which has s.
600 horses fattening on the range
to experiment with, is building a
slaughter-house, packing-rooms,
ETC., at Linnton. The building is
50x160 feet, and will be ready for
business early in July, by which
time the horses will be in prime
order. The company continues to
receive letters from persons in all
parts of the country, who are in
terested in the horse question. One
party in New York is confident
that he can find a market there for
a large quantity of fresh horse meat.
1t would, however, be impractic-
able to ship the meat fresh, as it
would not stand the expense of re-
frigerator cars.-Oregonian.

Sat about meal time the crow could
be expected at FIRST, but at last its visits
became more frequent. One of the boys
limited that the bird we were feeding
was not the victim Of my gunshot, and
in investigating this theory we found
out what a great deeeiver the crow is.
Up the alley leading to the spot where
the bird had been in the habit of re-
ceiving its food there hoped one day
fine black crow. There was nothing
about the bird to show that It was not
the same one that had been the object
of our bounty so long. 1t had only one

"'You wait and see,' says Charley,
and away he hurried, and returned
with his gun. Raising it and taking
careful aim, he fred, and the bird
stretched over on the ground dead. We
made an examination, and sure enough
the bird had two legsas good and sound
as any bird flying. When it had come
into our camp it had hitched the other
up under it's wing SO as to deceive us
and secure food. 1t must have watched
us feeding the wounded bird and saw
an opportunity of securing food by imi-
tating that one. All crows are SO near
alike there is no identifying one, and
the only way we knew oars was by the
one leg. When such clever imitator
attacked us we were badly fooled. l

farmer located near Athena, but

He had just constructed a new res

cover the roof. The tar boiled over
on the stove and igniting, the room
was soon a roaring mass of flames.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick was overcome
with the heat and only the
prompt action of her husband saw
ed the lady's life. Mr.. Fitzpatrick's
loss is $2,500. No insurance.

THE article in the Press some
time ago relating to a creamery as
being a paying venture in this
city has stirred up farmers in this
section. Last weeks issue Of the
PRESS contained a remarkably well
written article on the subject from

week Another Granger" contrib
utes a communication relating to
the establishment of creamery
here. We are much pleased to see
the interest that is manifested in
the cause, and feel assured that if
our citizens do their part toward
the enterprise, it will be only a
matter of a short time when our
farmers will reap the benefits of
this much needed institution.
