THE UNTIMELY STALL.

The history of the gasoline launch i,
distinctive of its proneness to stall just
at the moment Of its highest utility
This was demonstrated here on Sunday
morning when the Cape disappointment
life-saving crew went to the bar after
the drifting seiners who were rapidly
swinging to almost certain death. and
when only few hundred fathoms sep
arated the two boats the motor in the
life-saver gave out and she was help
less, as far as her mission was con-
cerned. Again. on Monday night, the
fourteen-ton launch Queen with lot OF
people on board, while returning from
Gray's River, broke down in the middle
of the bay and drifted in all directions
until she brought up under the DoWs
of the revenue cutter Perry and receiv-
ed instant aid from that vessel. There
is, happily, always some fortuitous
agency at hand to pull them out of
their difficulties, else the history afore-
said might bristle with fatalities. The
inventive genius of the day might dis
play lofty fight of aeumen in solving
the yagaries of the motor, and the law
of common sense might prompt the
owners and masters of these unreliable
vehicles to carry some decent quota
of life-saving appliances, such as cork
preseryers, oars, gratings, and boat or
a life-raft; as it is they traverse the
length and breadth of dangerous waters
absolutely unprepared for the accident
that seems peculiarly omnipresent with
their kind.

WHAT IS A NEWSPAPER?

This question may sound a bit odd
in this particular column, but it is
apt and pertinent here, as elsewhere
To the man outside the newspaper Of
fee, the paper itself seems to be an
ephemeral thing; a transitory, inexpen-
sive, intangible product, good for the
moment of its reading, and yalueless
when its messages Of news have been
delivered and digested; the medium of
the hour; the cheapest and most incon-
squential product OF the day and. re-
latively, of no practical utility except
for its daily service as a reference
sheet. It is generally out Of hand and
under foot. The very cheapness Of the
paper is an element of its unappre-
ciated status. II it cost its subscriber
twenty-five, or fifty cents day, it
might take on the substance Of real
commodity and have place among the
estimated advantages Of the ordinary
man. The patent facts, that it requires
an investment equal to any otner com
meMial business with which it neigh
bors; that it employs and pays its
quota of skilled labor in the local field;
that it demands the careful oversight
of trained and expert people; that more
hours are devoted to its creation than
any other given line Of daily business
carried on around it: that it does more
actual service for the community it
represents than any other single bust
ness venture in the territory; that it
gives more by way of deliberate bene-
faction, according to the scale of its
working prices, than any other trade
or business by which it is surrounded;
that it tries harder and achieves more,
