SALMON FOR THE SOLDIERS.
The Columbia River Not to be Outdone
by Alaska.


by Alaska.
In the recent call for bids for furnish
ing canned goods for the army the COM
missary general IN his frs. call specified
Alaska salmon. Doubtless he was not
aware that a superior grade Of fish was
packed nearly q thousand miles nearer
the point Of departure OF the Manila
troops. Realizing the situation one Of the
largest Columbia river packers sent the
following telegram to Washington, from
which II Is hoped that good results Will
follow;
To the commissary general OF the army,
Washington, d. c.; We note your first
call for salmon requires Alaska fish. In
the future will you please consider Column
bia river standard brands, which are ac-
knowledged 10 be the best salman In the
world. ]. o. HANIhORN,
President Columbia River Canneries CO.
II other Columbia river packers and
merchants would take similar steps to
look after the interests OF the Columbia
river, which is 80 well situated to serve
the government in the present emergency,
It might be expected that fair share Of
business would be accorded to this dis
trict and that the entire state would
profit. Oregon has sent It's quota Of troops
to the front and has others In reserve
ready to follow. Its men who cannot go
to the front are ready and willing to put
up their share Of the expenses Astorias
chamber Of commerce has already taken
steps loonng TO the mobilization Of troops
at this port, where the best possible fa-
cllities for transportation and camps are
offered. A united stand by Portland, AS
torla and the state at large would secure
some consideration for Oregon.

The Austrian Empress,

The old adage that a Christmas eve child is born to sorrow Is illustrated in the case of the empress of Austria, who was born on the 94th of December, 1887. The Duchess Elizabeth of Bavaria was married to Francis Joseph of Austria at the early age of 16, and was then con. sidered the loveliest woman ih Europe.
 She was not we'll received by the great families of Austria, who thought that the emperor should have chosen bride from a more famous house than g col lateral branch of the Wittelsbachs of Bavaria. The Hungarians, however,
 went mad with enthusiasm over their beautiful queen and throughout her reign have remained her devoted slaves. She was passionately fond of riding and for long spent a portion of each year In the hunting fields of England and Ire- land. The breakdown of her health compelled her first to forego this pleas. ure, and then she was debarred from fencing and even from her mountainser. ing excursions. The unhappy marriage of her only son and the refusal of the pope and the emperor to consent to his divorce preyed upon her mind, and since his tragic death years ago at MayerlinR she has led the life of @ recluse, San Francisco Argonaut. '.-.
