Success in sradc.

When Ii. Clay Picketlsannounccd to
his frien1s and the public that he con-
templnted embatking in the fancy
family grocery trade the prediction
was that he could not make 1t II success.
not because there was any lack of en-
ergy or push on the part of MIR, Pick.
EFT, bat because 1t was supposed that
the field III that line of trade was nj
ready full, aud indeed it no appears.
Some men, however, have the faculty
OF making room lii places where, here
tofore, mono appeared, aud this has been
the case with this gentleman.
About the time referred 10, say less
than quarter of year, he com
menced the fancy grocery buslness at
No. i3 New Market Place and ut once
began the fight for trade, and if YOU
happen to 60 that way almost any day
In the week look in at him and see If
his efforts have not been success,
You will find his handsome store filled
with stock OF groceries and family
supplies which is Of that character to
meet the wants of rybody. Ii you
desire fine high price goods. and yet
not 100 high for the quality, Mir.
Pickett can fill the bill; If 1t is medium
goods, ut figures within reach of all.
why, he Is with you. II, in fact,
there IL anything IN the line OF
family supplies, he has it, and in
abundance. His stock Is not only
large. bnt it is full and complete as TO
assortment. MIR. j. a. Whitehurst, 80
long and favorably known to the
trade, is with Mr.. Pickett, and the two
together is making tue business hum.
Now that the season Is opening, Mr..
Pickett is making IL speciality III filling
orders for clubhouses at the seashore
and other watering places. His sum-
mer stock has been selected in view of
this fact.

MAY Be A NEW ZINE.

A movement is not on foot that pro-
badly means re-establishing a fast pas
senger and freight steamer on the route
between the Sonnd elites and Vancou
ver,B.C., connected with the Canadian
Pacific railroad. Since the route was
abandoned as fast one, the water tans-
portation has been handled by the
steamer Utopia, making two trips a
week. She is to be laid off this week
for repairs and on Monday the faster
and more commOdious steamer Sehone
is to 90 on the run with Captain and
ex-Collector of Customs Herbert Be
echer in command. Capt. Beecher,
for a long time past, has been in the
employ of the revenue cutter service as
a pilot, but recently resigned.
1t is understood he has secured con-
tract to carry the oriental mails destin-
ed for and coming from Uuited States
points in connection with the Central
Pacific railways Empress line of steam
ers and that he cOntemplates inaugur-
ating a faster service between Tacoma
and Vancouver than has heretofore
been given. Under these circum-
stances. it is considered doubtful that
the Utopia will again go on the run.

SPRAY FOR THE APnIS NOW.

The recent rains and accompanying
warm weather has Matched the aphis
quite rapidly. We would warn you in
regard to using the solutions and emul-
sions recommended in the "reports of
the State Board of Horticulture, for
the reason that the experiments have
mostly been made east of the mountains
where the foliage of the fruit tree is not
SO tender as 1T is on the islands. AS a
rule the formula given i'll the report is
about three times as strong as necessary
to dc good work. In many cases, if the
formula is used as strong as the report
says, the leaves and tender twigs Of the
trees will be greatly injured. If there
are aphis on your trees now is good
time to spray. A good thorough spray
ing now will, in all probability, almost
completely rid your trees of the trouble
some pest. The following solution has
been found very efficient:
Five pounds soap, two pounds sheep
drip tobacco, one quart coal oil. Boil
in as large "a quantity Of water as is
convenient and add water to make two
barrels. Spray profusely.

Harrison street, Kansas City. He Is an
old sufferer from infiammatory rheuma-
tism. but has not heretofore l'een troubled
in this climate. Last winter he went up
into Wisconsin, and in consequence has
had another attack. ''It came upon me
again very acute and severe" he said:
"My joints swelled and became lni1ameo;
sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon
the urgent request of my mother-ln law
tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to reduce
the swelling and ease the pain, and to my
agreeable surprise, it did both. L have
used three fifty-cent bottles and believe
it to be the finest thing for rheumatism,

FRUIT PACKAGES.

An agent for the Western Basket and
Manufacturing Co., Of Hoquiam, this
state, has made arrangements with the
San Juan Trauing Co., to handle their
fruit packages and baskets. A number
of our local fruit growers, last year, used
their five and ten pound baskets for
green prunes with goo0 success. The
fruit shows to better advantage in bas-
kets than in boxes. Their wood basket
is one of those indispensable articles,
especially where pitchy wood is used.
They also manufacture all kinds of
clothes baskets, hop baskets, market
