The Cost of Comfort 20.

When the cost of comfort is balanced
against the desire for comfort, the following
figures may help the desire.
One FAN MOTOR, running at 22OO revo-
lutions per minute consumes 20 Watts. At
Is cents per 1000 Watts per hour, 20 Watts
per 10 hours costs &c. If 10 hours comfort
isn't worth &c. the desire for comfort is not
very great and further figures are useless
A business mans time is represented by
dollars Discomfort decreases mans abili-

BUILDING CAMPS ON
THE NORTH BANK

1t is very evident that the Contrac
tors for the new railroad on the nortl
bank Of the Columbia are going tt
lose no time in getting to work. Mr.
Jones, one Of the contractors II
in town purchasing lumber to be
taken across the river to construct
camps. One Of these camps will be
located at Underwood and the other
at a point opposite Mosier, Will
several hundred men working in thi:
vicinity it is expected that Hood River
merchants will derive consideraDle
benefit from this fact.
Mr.. Upright, OF the right Of way de-
partment OF the new road, has been
at White Salmon for day or two try
ing to adjust the claims against the
railroad company for the rawbeffy
lands which it desiles to acquire ear
chat town for its roadbed. 1t will be
remembered that when an effort to
buy this land was made some time ago
the price asked for it was so high that
the company decided to delay the
matter. 1t would seem, bGwevC' that
it has decidel to purchase the land
and thai the thriving little town
across the river will secure the enc
fits to be derived from the kuilding
of the road.

There is little probability of the in
dicted senator aud congressman from
Oregon resigning their positions.
They care more for the salaries they
draw, while they can do nothing to
earn them, than for the interests of

evidence that the men we're not made

they wanted the office simply for

There is every indication that next
year will be a prosperous one tor
Hood River. The new railroad up
the valley and the extension Of the
Northern Pacific along the norh bank
of the Columbia will give an added
impetus to business, and encourage
many new improvements in the valley.
The recent real estate transfer have
brought new men and capital into the
valley that will also help develop the
country, and shows a faith in Hood
River property that is substantial.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Car Of Russia has issued a procla.
nation giving the people of that
downtrodden nation the privileges OF
a constitutional monarchy, riot,
bloodshed and disorder are prevalent
in many parts of that benighted em.
pire. There Ia nothing so terrible as
the stampede of herd Of wild cattle,
and the French Revolution may have
its counterpart in this uprising OF
Muscovite laborers and ignorant peas

the other to negotiate a bottle of
Peruna or Hostetter's Bitters, it is

Just now, however, the sea elephant

forms practically the only population
Of many an otherwise lonely series OF

His food consists chiefly IL not entirely
Of cuttlefish.
Formerly the animal was hunted by
whalers upon all the islands of the
Antarctic ocean, notably Kerguelen's
Land and the South Shetland, where
they abounded in immense herds. The
creatures were slaughtered for their
hides and blubber.
The tusks Of the male reach a length
Of four to five inches, their external
part being smooth and conical, while
the part embedded in the flesh Is fur
rowed and slightly curved. The tusks
OF the males are solid-at the lower
end only slight cavity appears
while in the female they are shorter,
and, moreover, almost hollow up to
the point. Sailors and seal hunters
are fond OF using these hollow teeth
Of the females for pipe bowls, quilts

suitable stems for the pipes,
