Good Advice To Girls.

An exchange gives the following
advice to girls: don't hang around the
depot unless you are going away or
meeting friends; don't go to church
and take back seat with your escort,
and whisper and gigg1e during the
service. Don't be loud bolsterous or
slangy. Stand on your dignity; don't
form acquaintances quickly. Don't
carry your heart on your sleeve, and
don't throw yourself into the arms of
every good looking drummer or we'll
dressed stranger who comes to town.
Be womanly, be modest, be thought
full and serious at all times; don't unsex
yourself and thus lose woman's charm:
don't regard your long-1egged brother
as nuisance: don't turn up your nose
at your old father and use poor gram
mar, and above all, don't play ga Hot
Time" on the piano when your good
old mother is having a hot time on the
wash board; it is too suggestive.-Ex.

Wey erhaeuser Co. Fixes Prices.

By a general order recently issued to
their purchasing agents, it seems that
the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company
have established minimum price OF
40 cents per Thousand feet Tor all mer-
charitable timber which they may
hereafter buy within the belt where
they are now purchasing in Western
Washington. In other words they
will offer not less than 40 cents a
thousand on any timber which they
are willing to buy at all, but this does
not mean that they expect to pay no
more than that for favorably located
tracts. Tracts which are handy to
streams and railroads will be paid for
according to the advantages of their
respective locations.
The probable effect of this rule Of
valuation by this great timber buyer
will be to establish a uniform price of
not less than 40 cents thousand ieet
for even the poorest timber, especially
if situated within the idemnity of
grant limits of the railroad. There is
no doubt as to the correctness of the
Information for it was given to re-
porter of this paper by one Of the COM
pany accompanied with the request
that his name be not published.
Heretofore timber in Western Wash
ington has always been sold on an
acreage valuation, at SO much per
acre, but in the older timber regions of
the East it has been sold for many
years past by the thousand without
any reference to the number of acres.
The adoption of the above rule by the
Weyerhaeuser people marks the begin
ming of the change i'll this section to
methods OF the East, so that in the
near future timber will be bought and
sold here only at specified rate per
thousand and not by the acre.-Aber-
deem Bulletin.

Texas Suffers from Floods.

The newspapers are filed this week
with the accounts of a calamity, the
most distressing of modern times.
The Cityof Galveston, Texas, together
with many other towns ofthe gull
coast, and even miles inland, are wreck
ed and thousands of lives lost. A
heavy storm on the gulf turned into
hurricane and the waters Of the bay
and gulf, the city being on an island,
met in engulfing the whole city.
The storm lasted overnight and Sun
day morning the day broke over such
scene of death and desolation as
has not been equaled since ther'last
days of Pompeii." Not building in
the city escaped some damage and the
largest and finest blocks were laid in
ruins, leaving death and destruction
on every side. All the industries and
business of the city were destroyed,
and even large vessels we're Landed
high and dry in the city streets, ly
the tidal wave. The wind blew at a
velocity of hundred miles an hour,
and we in this favored country cannot
appreciate the horrors of the night OF
terror for the stricken people in the
path of the flood.
Several to Fns were wiped out Of ex-
istenep, their drift being landed miles
up the streams from the coast, but
everywhere little escaped the ruin.
The first reports estimated the number
of deaths at fifteen hundred, but it
may even reach 5000 souls before the
wreck is cleared away. The dead are
so numerous that the bodies cannot he
buried in the usual way, but are in
tered in the waters of the gulf as
quickly as possible to avoid the breed
ing of pestilence.
The government has acted prompt
ly in sending tents and supplies to the
stricken people and cities all over the
country are gathering funds for their
relief. Galveston met similar disas-
ter in 1875 although it did not COM
pare with the present calamity.

Crying Against The Traps.


PORT TOWNSEND. Sept. 11.-Fiye
salmon fishermen of this city who
have Just returned from a successful
cruise to the mouth of the straits, re-
port the biggest run of silver salmon
keown for years off the banks and
gradually working into the straits
They also report one or more fish
traps at every spit and headlaLd, and
the streams emptying into the straits
nearly all blocaded by trap leads across
their entrances. They say that if the
present blocking of the spawning
streams is allowed to continue it is
only matter of three years when the
salmon will be exterminated.
Seine men and gillnetters are al
ready crying against the traps, and
say the law permitting them should be
repealed; that, at the present price of
fish seiners and gillnetters can and
would supply all the canneries. The
price of salmon at the cape whe they
left was 26 cents apiece, and at that
figure enough men would engage in
the business to catch all the fish which
ought to be caught each season, if the
traps were removed and fishermen
thus assured of steady employm emit
during the fishing season.
The Port Townsend Packing Com
pany is receiving considerable num-
Der OF salmon from Hood canal, brou-
ght in from Quilcene on the railroad.

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of
Familiar Word.

Familiar Word.
Disease is the opposite to ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack Of
ease, uneaslness, trouble, vexation,
disquiet." 1t is condition due to
some arrangement Of the physical or
ganism. A vast majority of the eds
ease" from which people suffer is due
to impure blood. Disease of this kind
is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla which
purifies, enriches and vitalizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures
scrofula, salt rheum, pimples and all
erupt ions. 1t tones tile stomach and
creates good APPETITE, and it give Wig
or and vitality to the whole body. 1t
reverses the condition of things, giving
health, comfort and cease" in place of
"disease."
Hon. CHARLES DENLY thus rubs it
on the Bryanites for their open en-
conragement of the Filipinos to keep
up their revolt: It strikes one as odd
that great party should baseits hopes
OF success on the killing and wounding
of our troops. Will not a flame of
patriotism rise up over the land which
will testify that at all hazards we will
stand by the flag, that come what may
we will not turn our backs on the
Philippines, a disgraced and dishonor-
ed nation.
