p. F. Halferty. proprietor Of the Sea
Beach Picking Works at Warrenton, is
in the city assisting In getting up the
banquet for the visiting editors. Mr.
Rafferty, states that he will start up his
clam pickling establishment the first OF
August. having had It closed since the
first Of June. June and July are the
months in which the razor clans spawn
and during that season each year Dir.
Haferty ceases packing. The clans put
up By the Sea Beach Picking Works are
what ls known as the razor clam, found
only at the ocean beach, and which are
dug from the sand at low tide. These
clans divide hOnors with the Willapa bay
oyster as the most delicious blvalve found
on the Pacific coast. so perfect is the
process employed by Mr.. Hakerty that
the canned clans when opened have all
the freshness and favor Of those just
taken from the sea. While canning
clans Is comparatively a new business
for Astoria, yet IS already becoming
an industry Of considerable Importance.
As people in the interior states find that
the razor clam from the white sands Of
rfle Pacific ocean beach Is an entirely DIFF
ferent article from the mud CLAIMS Of
other sections and learn It's delicious
flavor. the market will develop and the
time IS not distant when canning these
clans will be one Of AstOrla's leading
Industries.

a high army officer whose fad was
ventilation was one day making an in
spection of q frontier post which was
much in need of repair. In some places
the roof showed the blue sky overhead
and the walls were ornamented with
gaps.
The brigadier general was escorted
through the building by the colonel in
charge, a sergeant going on before, as
is the custom, to warn the men to stand
at attention in honor Of the general
As they proceeded the general asked;
Sand how is the ventilation, colo
nels"
Before the colonel could reply the old
sergeant, with a familiarity born Of
long service, said:
''Sure, general. and the ventilation is
bad. sorr, vera bad, SOFT. The place is

A half yearly meeting Of the directors
who manage the Northampton private
asylum had just broken up, and Lord
Spencer, q member of that body. desir-
ing to reach Athorp Park somewhat
more quickly than customarily, deter
mined to return home by q route which
intersects the grounds of the asylum
and which is rarely used ave IS q sum-
mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics.
Arrived at the gate which separates the
asylum from the outer world, Lord
Spencer, much to his annoyance and
disgust, found it securely locked a
keeper, however, happening to come in
sight Just at that moment Lord Spencer
lost no time in explaining to him the
nature of his wishes.
The man surlily replied that his or
ders were to the effect that nc one
should pass through that gate except
due notice were given to him to the
contrary by the authorities, and that,
being a married mar with o wife and
a large family, he failed to understand
what special advantage was to be gain
ed by ransgressing the rules and thus
placing his situation in jeopardy. Oh
serving that the fellow was growing OBJ
durate, Lord Spencer thought it best TO
reveal his name and rank, imagining
that a knowledge Of the same would re-
call the man to his senses. Nothing Of
the sort happened, however.
The stoid features of the keeper sim
ply relaxed into a broad grin, and as he
turned to depart he gently explained
thai Lord Spencers in that particular
locality were as plentiful as blackber-
ries in the autumn time, Explanations
and expostulations were useless, the dis
comfted earl being forced to return the

Dangers of Grip.

The great danger from la grippe is of
its resulting in pneumonia. If reason.
able care is used, however, and Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy taken, all dan-
ger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for La grippe we have yet TO learn OF q
single 5 having resulted in pneu-
moaia which shows conclusively that
this remedy Is a certain preventive of
that dangerous disease. 1t will cure
la grippe in less time than any other
treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe to

The Arab who has angered a camel

Ing on them and tearing them asunder
with his teeth, goes on his way, and
the driver is thereafter quite safe, as it
seems to be an axiom with the camel
that no man shall be put in peril Of life
twice for one ofense.
Thecamel isstupid, save when angry,
and then seems to become almost pre-
te~rnstural IN carrying out its vengeful
designs. Palgrave relates the following
story Of q camePs revenge, which serves
TO illustrate this point: "A Lad Of IA

wood from oDe village to another at a
half hours distance AS the animal

was not long In coming.
"a few days later the same Lad had
to Deconduct the beast. but unladen, to
his osn village. When they were about
half way on the road and at some dis
tance from any hahi*ation, the camel
suddenly stopped looked deliberately
round in every direction TO assure it
self that no one was in sight and, find
ing the roed clear Of passersby, made a
step forward, seized the un1ucky boys

ing him up in the air. flung him down
again ON the earth with the upper part
OF his skull completely torn off.
''Having thus satisfied his revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace TO-
ward the village, rs though nothing
were the matter, till some men, who
had observed the whole, though unfor-
tunately at too greet q distance to be
able to afford timely help, anne up and

terday. During the excitement OF the
Carpenter ice house fire, "A fire broke
out on the Swan estate on Green street
short distance from the city line. a
city box was rung and an engine, two
hose teams and one protective were des-
patched TO the scene. After hard
struggle the fire was eXtinguished but
not before the upper part of the house
had been gutted. The fire was in Grams
ton but there is no hydrant in this. Sec
tion that could have been used. The
city hydrant would have been useless
as-the Cranstep- companies are not pro-
vided with a chuck and therefore but
for the city assistance the house would
have been destroyed. Perhaps the
Cranston town council Will see that a
hydrant is located somewhere in the
district for further safety.
