IMPORTED SWEETHEARTS.

An English liner landed at New York
the other day 1902 young women from the
ports of England, Ireland and Wales, all
hither-bound for husbands. The inter
views these blooming foreign girls gave
the newspaper men at the docks OF New
York before they lett to scatter to the
uttermost points of the continent, Show
ed conclusiyely that they, each, and all,
knew just what they came for and were
eager for information as to their
chances in the American marital market.
At first glance it would seem that
big bunch of young women like these
might have some quieter quest than this
and that less frank confession would
have sounded better; but when one
thinks of the commercialism of the day,
it can scarcely be denied they had per-
feet right to come on just such an er-
rand nor will anyone begruige them the
best Of luck and happiness in the ven
ture; nor may We contend that there
are millions of fine American girls right
mere to have filled the bill, for such an
argument would convict us of forget
ting that the fore mothers of our own
great nation simply antedated this
same batch of fire young Britishers by
a few hundred years. and the point
would fall lamely, and wholly inept.

toria Fire Department, on Wednesday
afternoon last, from the Astoria Boz
'Company's plant, and the swift and
ready and serviceable response, was a
matter for congMtulation with every
citizen here. 1t simply goes to show
that the department is in high state
of efficiency and can be relief upon at
any sort OF work at any point, in this
city Of mile.end distances.
The test was essentially a complete
one; for the run was made in excellent
time and in season to enable the tiremen
to do the initial work of fire namely,
to keep it from spreading. What work
was required at the hands of the train
ed men, vas done with ease and les'
patch and certainty that speaks loudly
for the discipline, equipment and per-
sonnel OF the force, rejecting distinct
credit upon Chief Foster and every man
under him.
The savings OF this big plant, from a
destructive fire, arising at the worst pos
sible point on the premises and under
circumstances requiring an abnormal ef'
fort to cover the emoteness, was, at
once, proof OF the departments efficacy,
the good fortune of the owning com.
pany, and the certain advantage of the
City OF Astoria.

WRECKED VESSEL SOLD.
Steamer Tellus on North Spit Brings
Only S75o.

ABERDEEN, Oct. 3.-Yesterday was
bargain day in wrecked vessels, and the
steamer Tellus, which a few days ago
was worth $4,000, and held a cargo of
coal valued at $1,000, was sold for $780,
coal and all, as the vessel lies on the
North Spit.
Yesterday was the date set for the
opening of bids for the wrecked steam
er and her cargo. the bids being received
in San Francisco by Norwegian Consul
Lund, and in Hoquiam by Captain Berg.
Two bids were entered by local par
ties, the Lindstrom Shipbuilding Com
pany offering $3.50 for the vessel and
cargo, and the Grays Harbor Tug Boat
Company offering 500 for the same.
These bids were telegraphed to Consul
Lund by Captain Berg, but an answer
was received stating that at auction in
San Francisco $3.50 had been bid for the
wreck The name of the buyer was not
given.
Owing to the complete wreck of the
steamer Tellus, and the utter impossible
ity of rescuing any portion OF her coal
cargo, the small sum realized on the
wreck is matter Of no surprise. In
fact, the amount paid is considered high.
According to Captain Berg, about all of
any value that can be obtained from the
wreck is the anchor and chains.

Mrs. Minnie Horning, national w.
c. T. U. Press Superintendent, makes
some good points below:
There are two things to cultivate in
our press work. First, to develop the
news instinct, to know what the papers
want, to make news by doing things that
create news, that we may have some
thing worth while for the papers to use
Second, to know how to prepare that
news in an acceptable shape for the pa
pers, that the big presses rather than the
EDITORS waste basket, may absorb our
news.
1T has been a rule of oratory that an
address should begin mildly and work up
to grand climax, reserving the greatest
strength and power for the closing SEN
fences. Not SO newspaper, article. If
! take up a daily paper and read only
the head lines, | am a well informed
woman. If l read the first paragraphs,
l know, the news Of the day. Take this
as a rule in writing your news. Give the
paragraph; let the later lines tell the
story in detail Then, if the editor must
cut your article short you will still have
told your story"
