Later.

The gasoline schooner Berwick which
left out over the Columbia bar Satur-
day for Rogue River with a load of
lumber, was compelled to seek refuge
out of the wind behind the shelter of
Tillamook head. She was anchored just
outside the breakers and the large Sun
dav crowd at Seaside was considerably
worked up for awhile. thinking that
something had gone wrong and the
schooner would be washed upon the
beach. At no time was the vessel in
danger and later in the evening was
reported to have lifted her anchors and
proceeded on down the coast.

ISLE OF CUBA
New Orleans States.

For some time past there have been
disquieting rumors concerning condl-
tions in Havana and other Cuban
cities. and the acknowledged existence
there last summer and fall of an cpl
demic of dengue caused many to sus-
pect yellow fever. Yesterdays an.
nouncement Of a case in the hospital
at Matanzas, while not sufficient to
occasion much concern, should never
theless cause the authorities to in
crease their vigilance in guarding the
entrances to New Orleans.
Unfortunately, by reason of the fact
that passengers. can go from Havana
to New York and from thence by rail
to New Orleans in less time than the
six days requirement of the Louisiana
quarantine laws, our danger is greater
from the back door than from the front
entrance. It has been established that
while the majority of cases occur with
in 1--WE days from the date of infection
yet about thirteen per cent of the
cases require six days to develop,
hence, to he safe the Louisiana and
Texas regulations require six days de-
tention. In less than six days pas
senger may come from Havana to New
Orleans by way of New York or Pen
sacola, hence our greatest danger is
from these points.
At the recent conference in Wash
ington Drs. Irion and Taber strongly
urged that six days should be requir-
ed to elapse between the departure Of
a vessel from an infected port and its
landing at healthy port on the Gulf,
but they were overruled by the sur
geon general in so far as those ports
under his control are concerned.
Therefore, the principal point of dan
ger to New Orleans is from those
ports where the quarantine is under
the direction of the Marine Hospital
Service. The regulations Of that SER
vice operate to the disadvantage of
New Orleans, hence we can see al
ready the truth of some Of the objec-
tions that have been urged against the
control of all quarantine matters by
the federal government
It seems to be the opinion Of expert
enced physicians that the period OF
danger Is from the introduction Of the
disease from the outside. For that
reason we cannot be too careful in our
efforts to prevent its being brought
into here this summer.

RACING ON RAILS

"Old man Smith-that's Mollie's Ia

he did Jim; but, SEEM that Mollie pre-
ferred me, 1 wasn't carin' much about
her dads opinion.
'It wasn't no use for us to try to get
spliced in Columbia, for everybody
knew that her father had ordered her
not to be seen with me. So the only

place along the line.

Pensacola property owners have to-

their cattle to run at large through

A fence is an ugly thing as well as

PEELED to go TO the expense Of erect

make the place look ugly just for the
sake OF permitting possibly one man
out Of a hundred to let his COW roam

The condition is an unjust one to
every owner Of real estate, poor IS

that an sntiquated one which no city

"Well, that did the business. We

Advertising
Hardware Stores.

The problem Of hardware advertis-
ing seems to receive but little atten-
ton through the advertising journals.
This fact seems strange. as 1 believe
the hardware dealer should receive
as much attention and help as does
the grocery or dry goods merchant.
Comparing his advertising in general
with that Of other merchants, be-
lieve him to be very much in need If
assistance in this line.
There are q great many dealers
who do not use advertising space,
and interviewing these 1 have found
them TO be divided into two classes.
One class does not believe it pays
TO advertise their line. They seem
to think people know everything they
carry and when needing anything in
their line win come to their store for
it. II is true a majority Of the people
know that stoves, stove pipe, door
hinges, nails, ETC., can be found in a
hardware store. But the progressive
store Of to-day carries numerous ar
ticles which a great many people do
not know where TO find. Prior to
commencing work in the advertising
field, was employed in a retail gro
cery, clothing and dry goods store
ana was often requested by lady Gus
toners to direct them to some store
where they could purchase such az
ticles as agate, iron and tinware,
tack pullers and hammers, shelf
brackets, tscls, zines, etc. The
greater part Of such requests were
from women. who evidently had new
er been obliged to investigate such
matters. hence their ignorance in this
respect.
The dealer who advertises coutin-
Gally, changing his copy often and
telling Of the seasonable goods he
has in stock, and occasionally men,
tjoning the little articles, such as
brackets, tack pullers, ege., will
bring these and other people to his
store and will carry the trade Of the
town
The other class are the dealers

.Cuba's Quarantine

The quarantine which Cuba has

Fremont county. MIR. Fredricksons
administration of affairs as treasurer

The subject of this sketch was born
In Sweden but came to the United
States with his parents when only
nine years old. The family settled In
Chicago but the great fire in that
city in 1871 destroyed their home and
they moved to Saline county, Kansas.
When only twenty-four years old Mr..
Fredrickson was elected clerk OF the
district court in his home county. a
position he retained till 1887. when he
came to Canon City. The following
year he was appointed clerk OF the
county court of Fremont county, a
position he filled till 1893, when he was
appointed deputy county treasurer.
From 1894 to 1899 he was city treas
urer and for five or six years was
secretary OF the board OF education Of
Canon City. Mr.. Fredrickson takes
an active interest In the educational
and moral welfare OF the community
and is highly esteemed by all who
know him. He was secretary OF the

DIR. vosBuRGHs WITHDRAWAL.

The Lindsey campaign was launched
with DR.. George Bedell vosburgh of
the First Baptist church of Denver as
chairman of the executive committee,
and a member of the committee to
name ticket. DR.. vosburgh is we'll
and favorably known throughout the
state, and the fact that he was con-
nected with the Lindsey movement
helped to give it standing and respect
ability.
Now, after an experience of a week
with the people by whom Lindsey is
surrounded. and with Lindsey him
self. DR.. Vosburgh has withdrawn from
all connection with the Lindsey cam
paign, and is heartily supporting DR..
Buchtel.
In his open letter announcing his
withdrawal, Dr. Vosburgh does not
give his reasons-he is tender-hearted,
and did not want to hurt anybody's
feelings; but the truth of the matter is
that he found Lindsey emotional and
egotistical and impracticable. and al
together unfit person to be governor.
He had joined the Lindsey movement
before Dr. Buchtel was named by the
Republicans, and in ignorance OF
Lindsey's real character. Now he is
where he belongs, supporting man
who, as he says, is the real goods
