The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-09-30

One OF the most important sales Of
water frontage ever reported In this
city was concluded yesterday, when the
Calender Transportation Company
bought from the Astoria Exchange
Company the property on the north
side Of Bond street between Twelfth
and Fourteenth. The piece is about 500
feet In length and is regarded an one
OF the finest locations in Astoria. The
consideration was $4,000. 1t Is the
intention of the purchasing company to
build fine dock there. The dock will
be T-bhaped and will be the head
quarters for the Calender company's
extensive steamboat business AS yet
the extent to which the company will
improve the property has not been an
nounced, but II is understood the dock
will be modern and large enough to ac-
commodate other vessels than those
owned by the Calender company. At
present there are no buildings on the
property, and the erection Of large
dock there will greatly improve the ap-
pearance OF that portion of the water
front.

Jay N. Saylor was yesterday SEN
fenced to four years imprisonment In
the state penitentiary for robbery from
the person. He had been indicted by
the grand jury and entered a plea Of
guilty. and yesterday was brought into
court for sentence. Attorney G. C. Full
ton appeared for him and made plea
for leniency. He related TO the court
that Saylor was young man whose
previous record was good. and that
his offense was merely the outcome Of
unfortunate drunkenness. Judge Nc
Bride replied that he was not inclined
to exercise clemency In such cases
Robberies had become altogether too
numerous, the court added, and he be-
lieyed 1t best for all concerned that
wrongdoers should be severely pun
lshed. He sentenced Saylor to term
Of four years. which is pretty nearly
the limit, the law specifying punish
ment of one to five years, 1t was evil
dent from Judge McBrlde's remarks
that he does not purpose to be at all
lenient with robbers, and those who are
brought before him hereafter may ex-
pect to receive long sentences. Saylor
was taken to the penitentiary last night
by Sheriff Linville.

How to Keen House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures
OF this life. its big enjoyments and Its
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have TO contend
with in the form of aches and pains
In some way and by some means
every one has touch OF them in
some form at some time. Trining as
some of them may be. the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with CON
stant torture. There is nothing, there
fore. of this kind that we have a
right to triile with. Taken in time.
the worst forms OF pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use OF ST. Jacobs OIL. No we'll
regulated household ought to be with
out a bottle OF this great remedy for
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of pene-
tration In st. Jacobs Oil that carries
II right to the pain spot and effects a

cases OF Rheumatism. Neuralgia. Lum-

Rheumatism In Utah.

Frisco. Utah, May 2nd-There Is a
great deal of Rheumatism In this and
neighboring states, and this painful
disease has crippled many a strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently, however, there has been
introduced into Utah n remedy for
Rheumatism which bids fair TO stamp
out this awfully painful complaint.
The name of this new remedy is
Dodds Kidney Pills, and It has al
ready wrought some wonderful cures.
Right here in Frisco there is a case
OF Mr.. Grace who had rheumatism
so bad in his feet that he could hardly
walk. He tried many remedies In
vain. but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
him.
His wife says: I'VE both had Kid.
ney Trouble. and my husband had the
Rheumatism 30 bad that he could
hardly walk. We used Dodds Kid
ney Pills with much benefit. We have
tried many remedies, but none have
done us so much good as Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Similar reports come from all over
the state, and It would seem as II
Rheumatism had at last been con-
Quered.

Proaress Of Japan.

Reviewing the steam engineering
progress of Japan, Professor Bunji
Mano finds that the first land engine
was placed in spinning mill at Ka-
goshIma in 1868 and that the first one
made in the country came about ten
years later. In 1901 the land engines
in use numbered 3.25S, with a horse
power of 7267. The first railway, with
four British locomotives, was opened
between Toxic and Yokohama in 1872.
To-day the railway mileage is 4469,
with 1,469 locomotives. The first
steamer was brought from Holland in
1855, the first built in the country
dates from 1866. The present number
of steamers is 1,079, with a gross ton
mage Of 645.926.

DEER AND DOGS
PLAYING TOGETHER AS FRIENDS
California Writer Tells Interesting
= Stories About the Companion
ship of These Animals.

In the town OF oroville, California
now a notable gold dredging center
where l live, l very recently saw a
fawn, still in its spots, unconcernedly
rambling about the main street. Dogs
that were in no wise accustomed to it
went up, smelled it, as is their canine
custom, and passed on, writes cor
respondent of the Hartford Times. The
fawn was perfectly unconcerned.
Two years ago there was another
deer, over half grown, in the same
town, which had as its companion and
safeguard large Newfoundland dog.
These animals were often seen play
ing together, and went down town to-
gether at their own desire. On these
trips the Newfoundland seemed, by in
stinct, to know that the deer was at
the mercy of otner dogs. and saw to it
that no dog molested the deer. The
family owning these two attractive an.
imals has moved from Oroville, taking
their interesting friends.
Another nearly grown doe saw last
year (adjoining the same town. stand.

the deer was not milked) daily with

For month | saw a male and fe-
male fawn move with perfect uncon-
cern among these dogs and all lap
milk from the same trough (the fawn
does not lap. but drinks like n pig. and
drinks milk like a starved pig). 1t was
laughable to see them pushing each
other while gulping milk. These dogs
that ran off the mother doe were first
to discover her young, but did not
seize them as they would have done

How He Met Himself.

Mr.. Hookem Of Philadelphia was
fishing on a New England lake two
years ago and caught so many large
fish that even his veteran guide was
surprised.
Mr.. Hookem then wore a full beard.
which he has since shaved off.
, This summer he was again fishing
, on the same lake and with the same
guide. Not catching any fish. he nat
urally inquired what the reason might
be; whereupon his guide said: "The
weather has been bad and the wind is
wrong. But, truth to tell. there has
been very poor fishing here ever since
