DO you know, Mr.. Ringbrand, that
I've always had a persistent and haunt

were all sitting in the starlight on the

the ashes from his long-stemmed pipe

palm of his hand for fresh charge.

A VANISHING POINT OF VIEW.


When Ringbrand left the hospitable
mansion on the mountain and began his
two-mile walk 10 Tregarthen, he was
Distracted by more different kinds of
pcrplexity than usually fall to the lot
of a man of his temperament. The
friendly footing upon which he was
established at THE LaHrels" gave HIM
opportunities for constant association
with Hester which had swept away all
his earlier doubts as to the depth and re-
atty of his attachment for the girl; but,
assuming that he could win her-and he
was by no means sure that il was so
written in the book of possibilities-she
was different enough from his ideal TO
demand a very disconcerting readjust-
ment of the lines upon which he had
formed his somewhat indefinite plans
for domestic future. Like most other
men. he had painted for his life pos
sible matrimonial background, but in
this picture the colors harmonized
artistically with the nestral tints of his
own studious habits. There was to be
. quiet home, with books and works Of
art, and an atmosphere of thoughtful
refinement whose peaceful calm should
be rufaed by no rude blasts Of passion; q

The Smoky Season.

The smoke which has prevailed for
several days lifted this morning under
the influence of brisk breeze during
the night, and the Kiickitat hills have
been plainly discernible ali day. The
presence of smoke makes the air moHe
oppressive than it otherwise would bA
The smoke prevents radiation, and
rapid evaporation; the result is the OPP
pressiveness which has prevailed. Only
twice, says Observer Pague. has the
smoky atmosphere. ip earlier than it
has this year, as is shown. by the follow
ing record for IA years:
1882 had little smoke; some prevailed
about August 10 to close OF month.
1883-Smoke set in June 80; July was
smoky, August very smoky, and so was
September; showers cleared the air
September 80.
1884 had very little smoke; some pre-
vailed from August 10; September had
some light smoke.
18s5-Smoke set in July 20; August
was very smoky, but the smoke cleared
off September 10.
AOOO-EoIHok0 prevailed from July 10
to September 20. August was very
smoky.
1SS7-Smoke prevailed from July to
September L. August was very smoky
18S8-Smoke prevailed from August
16 to September 16.
1889-Smoke appeared July 10;
August had occasional smoky days, and
SO had September. Smoke disappeared
September 26.
1890-Smoke prevailed from August
16 to October L.
ls91-Smoke prevailed from August 25
to Septemb ber 6.
IS92-Practically no smoke some was
observed in September.
1S93-Smcke prevailed from August IL
to September 8.
1S94.-Very little smoke; recoras
show some from August 19 to August 81
1895-The first record of smoke was on
July 10; very little prevailed until
August 4, and then dense smoke pre-
vailed until September L.
1S96-Smoke set in July Is.
From the above it is seen that in 1883
and 1887 smoke set in earlier than it did
this year, and in 1895 some smoke was
observable on July 10.

that none are ever caught in their nets
from the upper side; and that in clear
streams like the Rogue river, where they
are always seen to be swimming up
stream, never down. That they swim
deep is wldened by the fact that they
are sometimes caught on sturgeon hooks,
300 feet beneath the surface.

A deck hand on the Regulator dropped
his watch overheard In about eight feet
of water this morning and was very
much puzzled as to the best way to re-
cover it. In his quandary a small boy
said Chow much'll you gimme to get it
for you, Mister?" He was promised so
cents, and soon pair of twinkling heels
was the last seen of that boy for about
minute. When be came up he triumph
antly held the watch up to gaze, and re-
ceiving the reward. he Immediately
went up town and the next interview
was probably with the soda water man.
Grasshoppers were as prevalent one
season about twelve years ago as this
year. The next year there were none.
We are informed there is fly which
makes war on them and kills them off
when they get too numerous. Wasco
county is afflicted with them in spots,
some places being free and others over
run with them. Very rarely place is
found which is as bad as the following,
which is related by the Fossil Journal:
"Grasshoppers have eaten every vestige
of Willis Meek's crop, on the Chas.
Hall place at the head of West Fork.
They have not left leaf or grain on the
place"

Poor Run of Fish.
place.

Contrary to expectations, the salmon
catch continues to be very light. The
salmon have been very plentiful just be-
low the Cascades, but it seems the rap
Ads at that point have stopped their
further ascent of the river, tor while
they are plentiful below they are scarce
above. Warren's cannery, which is the
principal one below the cascades at the
locke, up to the last week canned 10000
cases, and their fullest capacity has been
taxed almost the entire season. Above
the Cascades the catch altogether that
has been canned does not amount to
over six or seven thousand cases so far,
of which the Seufert Bros. have caught
the most of any individual fishermen.
The only other cannerymen who have
done well were the Eureka and Cook g
cannery in the Astoria neighborhood,
which were the only ones that run con-
tinuously throughout the fishing season.
The season is now nearly ended, clos
ing the 10th of August, and while there
is time enough to largely retrieve the
poor results obtained, it will take phe-
nomenal and continued run of fish from
now on to equal the hopes indulged by
the fishermen of the upper river that
this would be highly profitable year.
