The summer beach season Is draw
ing TO a close. The Potter last Sun
day had almost her limit Of passen-
gers and in few more days the quiet
times or the beach viii be upon us.
While a good many people have visit
ed the beach this season, there has
not been the volumn OF business done
by the merchants as in former years.
Since the completion Of the railroad
10 Megler and the boats landing there
on regular schedule the time for ar
rival at the different points on the
beach has been shortened several
hours making it more convenient for
the travelling public to reach their
destination.
Candidates for the different county
Offices have been numerous in llwaco
for the past two weeks. Some of them
have been so bold as to post bills and
give talk in the hall aside from
what they have already said on the
streets. BY the time the election
rolls round we will all be familiar
with the topics Of the day; what un-
fairness has been practiced by some
and how they will be remedied by
Others. For one month at this time
OF the year promises are promiscious-
ly made; and then for twenty-three
months after the election the people
wonder why they are not being car
ried out.

Captain Sigurdson, master, commenc-
ed regular trips between llwaco,
Chinook and Astoria the first OF the
month. She leaves Astoria at 1880
a. m. arrives at Ilwaco about II m.
and leaves Ilwaco for Astoria at l:30
o. m. She carries both freight and
passengers. She will land at the old
farmers dock at the present but we
understand that more suitable and
convenient place will be provided in
the near future The people of llwaco
should give liberal supply of their
patronage to this boat as it means a
great deal to all concerned.

confined to his bed for the past FIVE

Caustic Whistler.

Whistler's caustic wit Is shown by
the following anecdote:
"Of one who was held to be Eng
lands most brilliant young artist, Yes,
he said thoughtfully, he's clever. but
there's something common In every
thing he does, so what's the use OF
itY"
Like many great men, he had but
little time for any but his own work.
HE told me story demonstrating this
most clearly His "Nocturne In Blue
and Gold, Valparaiso" was In the Hi
collection In Brighton. Mr. Hill had
two galleries and a well known collec.
ton, eventually sold at Christle's
Whistler went down TO see Mr.. Hill.
and said he:
"I was shown into the galleries and

at my beautiful "Noeturne. Then, as
