1t is very hard to stand idly by and see
arrival of the doctor. An Albany IN. W
dairyman called at drug store there for
doctor to come and see his child, then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to come at
once on his return. He also bought q
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor need
not come, as the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto SchOlz, says the
family has since recommended Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors
and friends until he has constant de-
mand for it from that part of the country.

Divers Opinions Of Men Who Are Inter.
ested In Regard to the Season.

Divers Opinions Of Men Who Are Inter-
ested In Regard to the Season.
In reviewing the past seasons enor-
nous fish output, and summing mp the
chances for the run that will soon be upon
US, number Of interesting opinions were
obtained yesterday in regard to the out
look for the canneries during the current
year. d. H. Lord, superintendent at the
Pacific-American cannery, said:
"Al records for the past few years have
been at fault, aud there has been . per-
ceptible and marked change in the actual
run prOphesied. asked one of the oldest
and best informed cannerymen on the
Sound last year rs to his opinion of the
run last summer. He said that was the
year for the big sockeye run, which
proved not to be the case, as sockeyes
abundanfly. There viii not be many
humpbacks this year. but no one knows
just what the season will bring forth until
it has been tested"
VIM. Hedge, secretary Of the Fairhaven
Canning Company, gave substantially
the following opinions: 1.-THE general i'm
| will be light one. Every fourth year
| chronicles light run, and according to
statistics this will be an off year for both
sockeyes. Humpbacks formed one-third
| of last years pack, yet while they run
every year i'm Alaskan waters they mss q
season on Puget Sound. Next year may
be expected big run of sOckeys and
humpbacks, but this year will in all prob
ability he the lightest in four years.
Daniel Campbell, manager Of the
Chuckanut cannery, says: 'There are
| many theories on the subject. Old-time
fishermen predict a small run for SOCK
eyes. The hatcheries will begin to turn
out salmon in numbers this year, and
just what the yield will be is q problem
that can better be determined later on in
the season. Everything considered, I
think this will prove to be fairly good
year."
G. III. Shubbe, manager OF the Aberdeen
Packing Company, thinks that '.indica-
ti0ns point to big run this year, based
ON the theory Of the amount the hatcheries
will furnish, and better trap facilities
than ever before. The supply my even
equal that Of last year, which was unusu
ally larHe."-WOrld-He
