Pears

Pretty boxes and odors
are used to sell such
soaps as no one would
touch if he saw them un.
disguised. Beware of a
soap that depends on
something outside of it.
Pears, the finest soap
in the world is scented or
not, as you wish; and the
money is in the merchan-
disc, not in the box.
All sorts Of stores sell 1t, especially
druggists; all sorts Of people are
using 1t.

Fish Commissioner Reed is having
a merry time In attempting 70 enforce
the Law. Fishermen have been out
every day since the law went into effect.
Many Of them are laboring under the
impression that the laws Of Washington
are not the same as Oregon. and say
they win fish on the other side until
tomorrow noon. The FISH commiss )ner
intended going out on the river last
night to dIsabus IDS Of the men
but whether or not he succeeded in
getting into halllng distance IL not
known. The commIssioner visited the
several canneries yesterday and after
wards went 10 Justice Brower's court
and swore out warrants for the ar
rest OF the managers OF the following
canneries: Columbia River Packers
Association. Columbia River Packing
Company Fishermen's Cooperative.
George w. sanborn. and A. Booth
Packing Company. The warrants
charge the managers with receiving
and having In their possession salmon
delivered 10 the cannery which were
illegally caught. The several cases
win be called In Justice Brower's court
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. All
OF the canneries with the exception Of
the Columbia River Packers Associa-
ton propose to unite 70 test the validity
OF the law. The commissioner was anx-
ious TO have the cases called for trial
yesterday afternoon. as he wished to
leave the city Immediately. but the at
torneys for the accused requested that
they be given more time Nearly all
those posted on law are OF the opin-
ion that. az the laws OF Washington
and Oregon are concurrent. the com
missioner here can arrest those who
fish illegally on the Washington side.
The run OF fish was excellent Sunday
night Many fishermen reported that
they had caught from 1900 TO 100
pounds.

ESTIMATE OF THE PACK.
Increase of 10000 Cases over Last Year
More Money for Men

A reliable estimate Of the pack of
Columbia river salmon at the close OF
the season shows an increase as COM
pared with that Of last year of over
10000 cases on the total pack. With the
enormously increased quantities of fish
handled by the cold storage houses
this year 1t is safe to say that the fish
ermen Jared as well If not better than
they did at the close OF last season.

FLYING ENGINES TAKE WATER
Tanks Are Repienished While the Loco
 motive Is Making sneed.

On many of the railroads centering at Chicago it is no longer necessary for a train to stop to enable the engineer to replenish his boilers with water. All travellers have now become accustomed to seeing the narrow trough, 1900 to 1,400 feet long, at various dead level points along the road and they know that the strip of water which it con- tains is seooped up by the engine as it speeds over the tracks. But people from foreign countries often ask ques- tions about the water between the tracks and marvel when they hear the story about drinking" the engine OF the fly. What seems marvellous me- ehanical contrivance is all extremely simple thing. A pipe with a scoop end is fastened to the tender It is C shaped, with the top end pointing into the water tank and the bottom curled under the body of the tender By series Of levers this end may be dropped until it reaches the level of the ties When the engine reaches the trough the fireman drops the scoop end, which is 31a inches high and 12 inches wide, into the trough, into which 1t sinks a distance of about six Inches or within an inch of the bottom. It may wabble slightly without doing any harm, because the trough is A inehss wide. Dropping the end is all that is done, for the motion of the en- zine does the rest. The water rushes into the pipe and thence into the tank with rush and force that suggests to the nninitiated the use of powerful en- zines. "The most remarkable thing about the water-taking scoop" said a railroad official, lis the fact that the speed of the train must be reduced when the water is taken on. IL reaches the bend in the pipe with such force that if the train were allowed to go at it's regular speed the metal would be seriously strained, so we reduce the speed to about thirty miles all hour and have the best results" While the engine is passing over the trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour it takes up about 4.000 gallons of water about as much az would be contained in 100 spirit barrels.

THE HINDOO.
Generally Knows When His Elephant Is
 Planning Murder.

Few more impressive condolences can be fmparted than one in which a Hin- doc describes how he knows his ele- phant intends to destroy him. It is all so seemingly trivial, and yet h reality Of such deadly significance. His story is so full of details that prove the mans profound understand ing of what he is talking about. that one remains equally amazed at the brute's power to dissemble and it's in- tended victims insight into the would be murderer's character. And yet, from q psychological standpoint, an elephant never gives any other such in- dication of mental power as is exhib- tied in it's revenge. That patient. watehful, implaeable hatred. often pro- yoked simply because a man is in at- tendance upon another animal (for 1t Is the rule with tuskers to detest their aext neighbors), speaks more conclu' sively Of a high intellectual guide than all stories. true or false, that have been told of their ability. Such concentra- tion and f1xedness of purpose; such careful unrelaxed vigilance; such per- feet and consistent pretense and, when the time comes such desperate, unhesi- tating energy as homicidal animals ex- hibit, are more impossible without ar irregular development No one can deny that if this creature is great at all it's greatness shows itself in it's crimes. These have caused it to be worshiped in the east, where men venerate nothing but meTciless, ire. sponsible force, and where an exhibit ton Of those qualities and traits de- seribed fully accounts for the formula, My lord. the elephant!"-Quting.

AT THE PARIS MoRGuE.
subiecting Criminals to Terrible
 Ordeal

A law that has recently come into operation gises prisoners tDe right of communicating with counsel within twenty-four hours after their arrest. says a Paris correspondent of the Lon
 don Standard. One of tue immediate consequences of this measure may be 70 put a stop to those "eonfrentationss st the morgue, which are so dramatic a feature of French criminal proceed [ are. With view to bringing mur- <erer to confess, he is taken to the morgue, and there brought face to face with the body of his victim. Every z \ Grtifice is used to make the eonfronta- tion as impressive as possible, as it Is hoped that the terrible sight he is cons pelled to gaze on will so trouble the murderer that he will lose command oyer himself and make q clean breast ssf his crime in his agitation When he enters the room he can see nothing, as the stone bench on which the body is exposed is concealed by a curtain. The examining magistrate presses him f Istwsth questions and then, at what he considers the opportupe moment, gives the signal for the curtain to be pulled Jack. The nnurderers who have stood 4hia ordeal without finching have been comparatively few. The majority of then exhibit the utmost terror, and iInplore to be taken out Of sight If the corpse. There IS a chair In the loom where the confrontations take place in which the majority of the most no

French criminal counsel have found that these confrenfations almost always result in the confusion Of their clients, have looked into the matter, and beliele they have diseoy- cred that the examining magistrate has 10 lega@ rigAt to subject q prisoner @ this ordeal. For the future they are '@olug to alyise their clients 10 refuse e allow tnemsel1es to be taken to the aaorgaies and it seems that it is q moot point WASther the authorities will be able to eon sna thither by force.
