way to Canada for a hunting trip.
To this he said: Z viii give you a
piece of advice that an old hunter
gave me q long time ago. When
ever you are in doubt as to whether
q moving object is a deer or not or
when you cannot see it clearly
enough to know either let out a
yell or wait until you are absolutely
sure of your game he told me If
/ remembered that it might save
me feeling bad in after years. /

several instances have found it

NEW STEAMSHIP LINE
| FOR COLUMBIA
EIGHT FINE STEAM ScHOoN-
ERS WILL CONSTITUTE
THE FLEET OF VESSELS.

PORTLAND, Feb. 81 - Through
Oliver J. Olson, managing owner Of
the steam schooners belonging to
Olson & Mahoney, who has been in
Portland for the past few days, nego-
tiations we're concluded this morning
for the inauguration Of a new steam
schooner line between the Columbia
River and San Francisco whereby
eight vessels will be kept in regular
service. Interested in the venture
with Olson & Mahoney viii be Chas.
r. Mccormick, Of San Francisco, and
each will furnish four vessels for the
line. !.
McCormick's craft are the Cascade,
Yellowstone, Shasta and Yosemite,
which will handle both freight and
passengers, while those belonging to
Olson & Mahoney will be the Jim
Butler, ], Marhoffer, Thomas L
Wand and Olson & Mahoney. On
the UP trip these viii carry general
merchandise, and the southbound car
goes win be made up Of wheat and
lumber. When the line is establish
ed and in good running order there
will be an average Of two of the
steamers going out Of here every
week.
The consolidation Of these com
panies and their decision to add to
the water transportation facilities be-
tween here and the Bay City is ex-
pected to prove Of great benefit to
local shippers, who are often handi-
capped for the want Of adequate tom
mage to take care Of their traffic with
anything Xix good dispatch. 1t is de-
clared that it will mean more to them
than the addition Of several new
freighters to the lines operated by the
