An Ellsworth Captains Feat as Cook
and Seaman.

Twenty years experience in navigating
up and down the Atlantic coast, creeping
in and out of bays and rivers day and
mig hit, in storm and sunshine, says the
New York World, has made Capt. w. {.
Bellatty, OF the Ellsworth schooner
"Leonora," familiar with the sea roads.
The captain knows the "Leonora' pretty
Well-Wh hat she can do, all her little
Whims and pretty ways.
On the "Leonora's'' last trip to New
York her down-east cook conceived such
strong attachment for South street beer
of ne strong, bright, red brew sold in
quart goblets that Capt. Bellatty arose
at Il. m. and paid him off to get rid of
him. Il VIII he my own cook" said Bel
latty. There's nothing that needs do
ing on a coaster that the captain can
do"
Here is what happened on the trip back
to Ellsworth The captain oversight one
morning. He arose at 7.l5 o'clock. He
should have turned out at $50 BY T30
he had whitfield shaVlugs from stick,
built fire, made coffee, prepared hot
stewed tomatoes, hot biscuit, fried po-
tatoes, oat meal and tsp-jacks, and had
the whole steaming layout on the table,
together with cold corned beef, cabbage
and ginger bread.
Above Pollock Rip lightship a squat
came from someW here 1t was black
as despair, and a bell on reef tolled
dismally in the gloom. Capt. Bellatty
was in the galley juggling with de-
lectable and fragrant compound known
as self-raised griddIe cake batter. He de-
posted three flap jacks on the grlddle
and left them to brown on one side While
/ lie went aft to look at the compass.
/ Under mainsail and foresai and SIN
gle jib the schooner was on the port tack,
the wind being from the northwest
Suddenly vessel showed up almost on
the "Leonorasn starboard bow. col
lision was imminent Capt. Bellatty
grabbed the spokes from sailors hands
threw his helm hard down and wore the
"Leonoran right around the unknown
craft. Then Capt. Belatty gave the
wheel to the sailor, went back to the gal
ley and Topped over the tlap-jacks in time
to save them from scorching.

THE STATE ISSUE IN NEW
YORK.


Legislative extravaganza is not
alone the issue in Oregon.
Governor Morton's special message
TO the legislature, in which he urged
the need of the strictest economy in
the appropriations, will be endorsed
be everyone as very timely commu-
nication and 1t Is hoped the law
makers of that state will heed the in.
functions therein contained better
than the Oregon solons. needed Gov
ernor Lord. There is no doubt that
every year large sums of the tax pay
ers' money are appropriated for tho
benefi of certain restricted localities
and the public pays the bills. Year
after year bills are introduced TO i'm
prove public buildings in a most ex-
travagant and unnecessary manner
and the money when obtained, while
nominally used for the purpose di-
rected, is made political lever. 1t is
well understood that more than one
county sold its poor house and farm
to the state last year for twice what
it is worth and other counties are
taxed to pay the bill while other coun-
ties will come forward with bills ap-
proprlating from fifty thousand dol
lars upwards for improvements on
its Normal Schools or other state
buildings. These appropriations are
asked for every year and generally OBJ
tanned when there isn't the slightest
need of them. 1t is only chronic
habit that our legislators have fallen
into to get all they can for their dis
tricts whether needed or not. That
part Of Governor Morton's message in
which he says: "As guardians of the
public interests and custodians Of
public funds, the paramount question
should be, when considering the ap-
preparation of the peoples money,
can this expenditure be deferred
without injury to the public inter-
ests, until business shall have re-
sumed its normal activity?'" should
be needed. Those who do not show
their desire to relieve taxation should
be remembered and settled with at
the polls when the opportunity ffers.

WHY IT CIRCU[A1ES
Phenomenal Demand for a
Weekly Newspaper.
IT ADVOCATES POPULAR MEASURES
Characteristic Letters From All
Kinds Of People.

The phenomenal circulation of the
WEEKLY CAPITAL JOURNAL in all the
postoftices of Western Oregon causes
a great deal of comment, and needs
some explanation. Orders keep pour
ing in by every mail, and while names
are struck off the list as soon as a sub
scription expires the additions sur
pass the expiratlons.
1T Is THE CHEAPEST
Weekly in the state. One year 81 90,
six months so cents, three months 25
cents. AT this low price all can afford
to take an Oregon Weekly, and these
hard times they naturally take the
cheapest. 1t is too cheap to do with
out 1t, and conducted on the cash in
advance basis, they know they will
not have bill run on them.
THE PEOPLE WANT IT.
The people will not pay cash in adj
vance for paper unless they want II
and appreciate it. THE WEEKLY is
as popular as THE ONE CENT DAILY
which is conceded to be the most pop
ular daily in Western Oregon. A man
brought in silver half dollar the
other dav and ordered it for two
months. He said: II can't get work
this winter. can get along without
one meal a day. But can't get along
without THE ONE CENT DAILY.
These long, cloudy, rainy, winter days
IL comes welcome messenger to cheer
the whole family" The people feel
the same way about the WEEKLY.
J.. FROM NETARTS BAY.
comes cheering letter from subscrl-
ber at Netarts, Oregon who encloses a
dollar and writes:
"DEAR EDITORS: The JOURNAL
has the true Republican ring about It.
| wish that every paper in the coun-
try would advocate the peoples cause
as THE JOURNAL does. | will do all
l can for THE JOURNAL

ham Lincoln"
Mr.. O'Hara is not afraid to sign
himself an Abraham Lincoln Republic
can and THE JOURNAL feels proud TO
be considered champion of Abraham
Lincoln Republicanism.
