A. c. seayey & Sons.

firm of A. G. Seavey has been
changed to that Of A. G. Seavey
& Sons, and will soon be incorpo-
rated under the charter published
elsewhere in The Leader.
The new commercial combina-
tion, it will be seen, is composed
of A. G. Seavey, Willard H. Sea-
vey, John E. Seavey and Eugene
M. Bee, Jr. Coincident with the
change of name has come a
C hange of location, and the young
er generation have vacated the his
toric Storm Building'', the for
mer commercial dwelling place
of their progenitors, and now oc-
cupy their handsome and modern
structure On the Pfeifer old site.
1t is an interesting bit of his
tory to recall that away back in
1857 the firm of "Storm &
Brooks" established business in
the building just vacated, which
the senior Storm, the father of
Mrs. A. c. Seavey, had erected.
Upon Mr.. Brooks death, in 1868,
the the old pioneer firm became
Storm & Son." After Mr..
Storms death in 1882, the same
business was continued under the
firm name of A. c.. Seavey, and
thus remained until the adoption
of the present one of A. G. Sea-
vey & Sons.
So, with the prestige of near
ly two score of years behind it,
the new firm, with the heart and
purpose of the old, have started
out, ere the dawning of the New
Year, with all the enthusiasm that
inspiration can bring from a sue
cessful past and promising flu
ture.
The handsome new store build
ing is a two-story one, 50x120
feet, and has a pressed brick and
plate glass front, with all interior
furnishings that convenience or
beauty could demand. The ele-
CANT counters and show cases, dry
goods, grocery, hardware and i'm
plement departments, ladies' toll
ct room, gents clothing room and
furnishings, the elegant business
Office, with its cloak room, fire
proof vault, Clipped glass pan
els, and other ornamentations,
make an impression of thrift and
enterprise ere the visitor is
a ware. Fixtures are already in
for an elevator and the telephone,
electric lights, etc., 90 without
the saying. Beside the spacious
rooms the large building affords,
the firm has erected two-story
ware house adjoining the store
buildings; and accommodations
are ample for the immense stock
of staples they will carry.
The New National Cash Regis
ter is the pride of the employees
and makes the daily sales of each
one assume most certain shape.
Messrs. Pepper, Cotton Smith
and Robert Bee, together with
members of the firm, compose the
present clerical force, which will
soon be augmented by three gen
tlemen of experience and reputa
tion.
The Seaveys, though not do
ing business at the same old
stand, are becoming already
aware that they are doing more
business at the new one; and here,
we will state because it is de-
served, that it is an honor to the
splendid matron at the head of
the firm and to her sons that their
names, together with that of her
son-in-law, Eugene Bee, but add
strength to the present splendid
business enterprise so firmly es-
tablished in the confidence of the
people through years past.
May these worthy young men
outlive the years of their charter
and may their prosperity and in
tegrity be handed down to gener-
ations yet unborn.

Oregon Man Makes Another Dance

A weird story of the Jesse James

of a Starkey prairie resident COM

There has been i'll feeling for sew

suspected each other of the poison

to be practiced, the latest of which
was TO tie a bulldog of pronounced
vicious tendencies OF a Starkey prai-

signed to scare young team of
horses.
Ii was a settler named Wilkinson

DIVORCE IN THE DISTRICT.
Kew Law Differs from the

SPILLED HER LUNCH.


Sorry Accident 10 a Stylish Young
Woman in "A Street Car.
The passengers on an early-morning
train connecting with this city were
treated to thoroughly enjoyable scene
the other morning, says the Brooklyn
Enterprise. At one of the small sta
tions young lady boarded the train.
She was dressed rather s1ylish.y. but
a veil covered a rather plain face. She
switched down the aisle ike a queen.
She bar@,y dcigned to glance at the
other passengers in the car ard when
she did her nose rose perceptibIy at the
tip in manner that spread the impress
sion Of contempt.
She carried Boston bag and the air
of millionaire. There was but ono
seat vacant. This was beside a good
looking. nicely dressed young man who
was reading paper.
When she came TO this seat size
Topped down heavily and tossed her
bag 10 the seat between herself and the
young man Two seconds later the
young man seaped from his seat and
a string of earnest words Of doubtful
origin fell from his lips like vipeEs from
the lips OF the young woman in the
fable
The startled passengers Looked to see
what had caused this outburst- They
saw-and then they laughed. The nice
looking Boxton bag contained an ordi-
nary, everyday working girl lunch

TO GROW OUR OWN COFFEE.
Immense Demand of United States to
BE Supplied in Coming Years
by Our Island Possessions.

The prospect of a return of perma-
nently peaceful conditions in the Phil
ippines and the present existence of
conditions in Porto Rico and Hawaii
favorable to American producing and
commercial enterprises lends addi-
tional interest to some figures just
compiled by the treasury bureau of
statistics regarding the coffee con-
sumption of the United States and of
the world. The people of the United
States are sending out of the country
more than a million dollars a week in
payment for coffee consumed in this
country, all of which could be readily
produced in Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippine islands, which have al
ready shown their ability to produce
coffee of high grade commanding
high prices in the markets of the
world. Porto Rican coffee has long
been looked upon as of high grade,
and for many years has commanded
high prices in the markets of Europe,
and the developments of coffee culture
in Hawaii during the past few years
have also been very satisfactory in the
quality of coffee produced and the
prices realized. In the Philippines the
product is of high grade, and the fact
that in physical conditions and eli
mate the islands are very similar to
those of Java, the greatest coffee-pro-
ducing islands of the world, suggests
great possibilities 10 those who desire
to see American money expended un-
der the American flag. The fact that
the United States is by far the great
est coffee-consuming country of the
world and is steadily increasing her
consumption further suggests that
American capital and energy may
turn their attention TO this promising
field now opened in the islands where
American enterprise can safely enter
upon business undertakings.

SUCCESSFUL ELECTRICAL TEST
Oakland Street Cars Run by Power
Generated I4O Miles
Away.

Electric power generated on the
Yuba river, - miles away, was used
in the operation of street cars in
Oakland, Cal, the other day. This is
said TO be the longest transmission
of electric power in the world. The
power is generated by turbine wheels.
The cable. 40 miles in length. is six
tenths of an inch in diameter, and is
of copper, with aluminium alloy,
which will prevent oxidation. 1t is
this cable that is suspended across
the Carquinez straits by a span of
400 feet and 800 feet in the air.
The test is considered one of the
most successful in the history of
electricity. a current of 10000 volts
having been transmitted the entire
distance with a loss not to exceed
five per cent. Under that showing
experts said the voltage could be in
creased until there would be prac-
tically no loss of current. The cur
rent used was an alternating current,
transmitted through a motor at a
power station.
AS the voltage of 10000 was great
ly in excess of the power needed. this
power will be transmitted over the
company's lines to San Jose, a dis
tance of 100 miles from the general
ing plant.

TROLLEY AUTOMOBILE LINE.
Overhead Wire Supplies Vehicles
with Motive Power Gn a Ger
man Town.

Two modern transportation devices
have been invented by a Berlin en-
gineer, who has constructed trolley
automobile line, similar TO that ex-
hibited at the Paris exposition, at
EderSwalde. a small city near the Ger
man capital. In this system the auto
mobile receives its motive power from
an overhead wire, by means of troll
lev, which is connected with the auto
mobile by a movable cable. This al
lows the vehicle to turn out at any
place on the road. The line has been
favorably inspected by experts. and
the system is expected to meet with
general favor in Germany.
