This week we desire to call
attention to the merits of the
well-known Alaska Refrigera-
tors, which are guaranteed to
be all that is implied in the
name. Below are a few of the
principal features:
4. The Alaska is construct
ed upon strictly scientific
principles, by which low tenn
perature and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hottest
weather.
3. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice than
any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber free
from odor.
s. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch and
a half space filled with pure
charcoal, and experience ex-
tending over three and a half
years has convinced US that
the Alaska is, without doubt,
the bestrefrigerator on the mar
ket, in construction, in power
to preserve perishable goods,
in economy of ice, and in fact
in all points necessary to make
them first-class in every re-
Spect.
We have them in several
sizes at from SIS to $2S, and
also keep the Alaska ice chests.

Although Judge Perry has been
engaged early and late, up till
last Saturday night, in Circuit
Court term hearings, since then
doing all the chambers business
and not little of tin Judge
Carter's absence, he has
produced a mastery decision in
the steamship China's registry
case. 1t is as clear as q bell,
leaving nothing of statement for
the Supreme Court-to which an
appeal is to be taken to make in
the matter. The presumption is
that the appeal is only taken so
that the Government can show to
the United States that it left no
means untried to keep the promise
TO stop registering foreign
vessels. This is clear from the
fact that the resolve to appeal was
informally announced before the
Ministers had seen the decision Of
Judge Perry.

THE CITY OF PORTLAND.


PORTLAND, Or, April 30.-The at
fractions which nature offers in 1.-THE Pa
cific Northwest" to the tourist, the health
seeker and the sportsman, in addition to
the healthful and invigorating CHM ate,
are its scenery, its health and pleasure
resorts and its hunting and fishing.
1t is but rarely that grand and i'm
pressive scenery is united in one section
of country with the productive soil and
wealth of natural resources, and, as a rule
the enjoyment of the wonders which ma
ture has produced in her tiercest moods, is
limited to those who possess the means and
the leisure to travel considerable distances,
and spend much time, to see and enjoy
alone. But in ''The Pacific Northwest" i s
found, not only an equable and healthful
elm ate, and all that boundless wealth of
natural resources necessary for the great
est prosperity of dense population, but
in the greatest profusion and everywhere
in easy reach, all the varieties of won
drous scenery which nature has yet pro-
duced and which contributes so largely to
the enjoyment of those that are alive to
natures beauties.
Here are the fertile. peaceful valleys.

prlses, which naturally seek concern
whose capacity is equal to all demands
which may be made upon it, both as to
material ana workmanship, with due re-
gard also to rapidity OF obstruction. These
qualifications are pre-eminently possessed
by the Wolff e. Zwicker Iron Works. fact
which has now become so generally recog-
nized and admitted that large contracts
in metal work naturally gravitate to this
concern. The proud position attained by
Wolff & Zwicker, which has finally led to
the allotment to them of a contract by the
United States Government for the con-
struction of two torpedo-boats, is due
neither to original capital invested nor to
the assistance of subsidies. The measure
of success has been filled entirely. by the
ndomitable perseverance and untlrlng en-
ergy of the proprietors themselves.
The Government has more recently
awarded Wolff & Zwicker another con-
tract for the construction of two light
ships and the shipyards of this company
are probably the most active In the United
States at this time.

They are also sole manufacturers OF sew
eral unexcelled cereal speciaIties. The
grain used by this company is grown in
the high, dry lands of the Northwest and
is exceptionally rich in nitrates and phos-

semitic, nor all breadth and power like the
great Falls of the Missouri, nor all strength
and volume like Niagara, but combines
the three elements.
"The Torrent is less than Niagara, and
its crescent summit appears less than 1000
feet wide. But the descent-210 feet-is
one-third greater, while above the brink,
solemn portals of lava rising for hundreds
OF feet on each bank supply an element of
grandeur which the monarch of cataracts
altogether lacks The fall itself is of the
purest white, interpreted with myriads
of glittering, CLASSY drops-a cataract of

Nature is here in her lace and pearls, her
robe of diamonds and tiara of rainbow"
Of falls of lesser magnitude, the num-
Der is almost countless, and they vary in
height from Multnomah Falls, situate on
the south bank of the Columbia, within
the gorge of the Cascade Mountains, $50
feet in height, to the ordinary cataracts
which are tho wonders of less favored
lands. Crater Lake Is situated in the
northwestern portion of Klamath County,
Oregon, and is best reached by leaving
the Southern Pacific Railroad at Medford,
which is 1913 miles south of Portland, and
about eighty miles from the lake, which
can be reached by very good wagon

the Witches Cauidron, 100 feet deep and
475 feet in diameter, which was evidently
the last smoking chimney of once

within and without with volcanic rocks.
North of this island and on the west side
of the lake is Lao Rock, reaching to a

James Brooks Careful
Plot to Stay the
Oualls.
The Sanger Suicide Had Kept
-. a Loaded Gun Ready
for Use.
Failing to Entice Miss Oualls to
Her Death He Adopted
Bolder Course.

FRESNO CAL, May Mrs. David
Oualls who was shot ia the arm by
lanes Brooks in her home north of Sanger
last Tuesday night in the fendish attempt
OF the Iove-crazed man to murder her
and her daughter, continues to improve;
but he-cannot drive from her mind the
terrible experience of that night and is
stiff very nervous.
Miss Qualls displays much more nerve
and does not worry much. She Is
pEucky girl and takes a more philosophi-
cal. view of the matter than does her
mother.
When Qualls, the girls father, inter-
.ceded in Brooks behalf, some time ago,
and had him released from jail, where he
had been confined because of his in
ability to give bond that he would
not modest the QualIs, as he had
threatened to do, the father was advised
by Constable J. S. Irvine OF Sanger not to
do so. The constable told him that
Brooks was the kind OF man who might
carry out the dire threat he had made TO
destroy the family. Qualls did not like
the IDEA OF keeping the fellow in jail in
definitely, and upon Brooks promise not
to come around the place procured LIS re-
lease.
g Brooks had evidently planned for some
time to carry out his intention OF aveng-
ing his rejection by Miss Qualis. A few
weeks ego he borrowed the shotgun from
the foreman Of the ranch on which he was
working to shoot dog, he said. he made
particular inquiry as to The number of the
shot in the shells. He shot no dogs, but
kept the firearm in his room.
After Brooks had been at the Qualls
place the evening before his desperate
deed, when the young lady refused to go
riding with him he drove home and I'M
hitched his horse. He then procured the
gun and lantern and walked back to the
Qualls' place, He took advantage of the
ABSENCE of the foreman, and was alone at
the ranch.
II IS now believed that the fellows pur-
pose IN wishing to have the girl go riding
with him in the evening was to take her
to the ranch on which he vas employed
and there murder her. When he was
CoaIing her to accept his invitation he
made the peculiar remark that the man
with whom he was working was away.
" Failing in this plan he was determined
that his resolve to end her life and his
own should not be thwsrted, and he re-
sorted to the bolder proceeding.

wearing throughout the year their mantle
of green, and sleeping eternally in the
lap of spring. Here are the rugged
mountains. with their yawning chasms,
rushing, roaring torrents, peaceful Alpine
lakes, and grand old sentineIs, rearing
their lofty heads to the realm of eternal
winter, and bearing on their sides glaciers,
excelled by none in beauty or magnitude.
And here are rivers OF all degrees, and of
all varieties.
OF rivers, the Columbia is without
rival in the world in the grandeur of it's
scenery, as il has but few in the volume
OF its waters, or the amount of country
which it drains. Though other rivers
may here and there touch the borders of
mountains, winding to one side On their
way to the sea, or follow down their
slopes, from their sources at the SUBMITS
to the lower lands of the valleys, it alone
has broken through these stern barriers,
and crossed directly through two mighty
mountain chains, carving for itself way
embattled by the lofty peaks which in
effectually resisted Its onward march.
In it's gorge in the Cascade Mountains
the Columbia River offers scenery so
grand, so majestic, so altogether different
from aught else of the kind that the world
affords, that it is the wonder of all who
behold it, and so real is its sublime gran
heated seeing. Here are the cliffs of the
Yosemite, only greater in extent; the val
ley of the Yosemite, only longer and
wider, and flowing through it all river
more mighty than the Hudson, the Rhine
or the Mississippi.
Those who first see the Columbia in the
grandeur of its passage through the Cas-
cade Mountains are apt to fail in apprecl-
alton of its other beauties. But between
these mountains and the sea ii has a
beauty all its own. which Is unsurpassed
by that of any other river in the world.
OF varying width of from one and half
to three miles to within twenty miles of
the ocean, = there widens to what might
almost be called a bay of from six to ten
miles in width. and from It's point of
junction with the Willamette. 100 miles
from the sea, it is of such voluneas to
float the largest of ocean going ships. Its
scenery varies from the lowlands of the
Mississippi in the immediate foreground,
with the mountains of the Coast and Cas-
cade ranges in the distance, to the Pali-
sades and the rugged and precipitous
banks OF the Hudson or the Rhine.

The combination effected by the North
Pacific Lum Der Company. the Willamette
Steam Mills and Manufacturing Company
and Inman, Poulsen & Co. has done much
to advance the lu1n Der interests of the
Northwest. These three concerns, repre-
senting a capital of over 81, SOC. 600, con-
duct their business under the firm name
of the Oregon Pine Lumber Company,
with offices in the Chamber of Com MERGE

Their railroad trackage is sufficient to
allow of sixty cars being sidetracked ON
the com pany's own switches at one time.
With such facilities for manufacturing
and handling lumber the Oregon Pine
Lum Der Company is In position to do an
immense annual business, which will
grow as the requirements of the Pacific
Coast trade advance.
The great plant of the Wolff & Zwicker
Iron Works, located on the William cite
water front, at the East Side approach to
the Madison-street bridge, bears the same
relation to Portland and the Northwest
that the Union Iron Works does to San
