Whitefish Fishing Big Thing

Catching whitefsh for the market has
become quite an industry at Standpoint.
1t is estimated that over 10000 pounds
have been caught within the past 80
DAYS. One local dealer has shipped as
high as 1000 pounds in day, and at
present has orders that cannot be filled
for want of fish. The catching is nearly
all done at Bottle bay, eight miles from
Standpoint. which seems to be the favor.

The fisherman have small cabins built
on sleds, which are moved from place to

and one which is followed exclusively by
several persons. These grubs are found
in certain kinds of dead timber, and

Ore Chute Under Late

Mining under water is at an end in the
property of the Idaho Consolidated
Mining Co., in the Priest lake mining
district, investigation having shown that
the ore body dips from Priest lake
toward the mountain.
A crosscut journeyed 40 feet under
water from the bottom of 64-foot shaft.
1t pierced a ledge 20 feet wide that
showed three feet eff zinc ore of concen-
trating grade, 1t is learned from N.
Wagner, heavy stock holder. A short
winze showed no change OF condition.
Another lift of rs feet will be added to
the shaft, from the bottom of which a
drift will be run into the mountain. The
expectation of solid ore at that depth is
encouraged by the presence of 80 per
cent values in the bottom of the shaft.
No water appeared in the drift under
the lake. the tale making the vein as

Inc on Saturday OF their danghter-in-
law, Mre. George L. Talmadse, OF Ia
toosh Island, Puget Sound.
Press dispatches tell the following
story Of the event:
Neah Bay, Feb. ls.-Four men and a
woman were capsised in a row boat
while trying to go from Tatoosh Island
to the tug Lorne. All we're drowned ex-
cept two men.
The tug was anchored close to the
island waiting to bring the party 10
Neah Bay. Capt. Cutler, of the Lorne,
had advised the wireless station to pre-
vent the party from trying to leave the
beach. but thew had already left.
To the watchers on shore it appeared
as if the little rowboat had cleared the
surf safely, when suddenly three large
waves in succession broke over it. The
channel became aseething mass OF foam
Boats from the tug and shore imme'
diately went to their assistance, but
only two men managed to cling to the
boat until the assistance arrived. The
two survivors were brought to Neah Bay
for medical treatment.
The drowned are Mrs. George L. Tai
madge, Forrest Cowan and R. NJ. Wad
dell. The survivors are Ira d. Spoon
moore and Mr.. Talmadge.
Mrs. Talmadge was bride of three
months. She formerly resided at Port
Townsend. The bodies will probably
never be recovered.
George Talmadge is 20 years old and
formerly was an employe of The MINEF
office, being known to many Newport
people. He is rated in the navy as an
electrician and wireless operator at Ia

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing, healing and germi-
cida1 qualities. Just a little in a glass
Of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC a box, or sent

clean, wholesome nature and honest
heart scarcely offset her temper. She
was the one player Garrick feared, and

reader. He had neither the time nor
the inclination to search the journals
in which were chronicled the doings
of social New York-in which the Hal
dane name was prominent; so he in
structed his private secretary, Cha
loner, upon whose discretion he could
rely, to have sent to him at his private
address all clippings relating to Miss
Haldane. Gormly, therefore, knew the
life of the object of his attention as
well as 1t could be known from it's out
ward and visible presentation before
the public. Indeed, there was little
that was concealable under such cir
cumstances-the higher you rise the
less privacy you have, obscurity being
the prerogative, or the penalty, of the
humble-so that he was entirely
aware of Miss Haldane's goings and
comings, who her friends were, what
houses she visited, what diversions
she affected, who paid her attention,
and SO on.

time between 1t and the young woman
which was great concession to her
influence. One reason why he had be-
come such an assiduous student Of the
clippings was because he wanted to
know whether Miss Haldane was, or
was likely to be, engaged to be mar
ried. His apprehensions on that score
were soon set at rest. 1t was Miss
Haldane's second season. She had
created an instant furor when she had
been launched in society the year be-

was quite evident that none Of them
she was still free He would enter 1t,
he decided; but how?
First of all, something must be done
to bring Gormly himself into the pub
lie eye in some other capacity, some
higher capacity. some more attractive
Of ribbons, so to speak; the public eye
for Gormly being Miss Haldane's liq-
uid orbs. And Gormley knew that the
way to private consideration is more
often than not through public inter
est. He had to do something to justi-
fly himself, therefore, to make himself
known in some enviable way; in short,
he determined to make himself worthy
of her. And again the question arose;
but how?
He had thought vaguely Of the ra-
cling game, of the most magnificent Of
yachts of the finest and speediest Of
stables, of the fastest string of auto
mobiles, of thousand similar things
which he had dismissed as unworthy
of his high purpose and inadequate to
his end; until finally fortune favoring
him, he hit upon the field Of politics.
Miss Haldane in some Of those now
rather frequent conferences, had cas-
ually enough remarked that she liked
men who did things, who really &C
comp1ished something for good in this
world
Gormly instantly resolved to do
something. Now II any man really
wants to accomplish good in this
world, there are few opportunities Of
greater possibilities than those pre-
sented in the political arena There
Is also no field in which it Is harder
to accomplish the end. Gormly as a
political force was entirely unknown.
He was without experience. One
requisite, popularity considered vital.
he had, and, that was an abundance Of
money. Another requisite he pos
sessed albeit unwittingly, was char
acter. And still third was his, and
that was imagination coupled with
capacity-the ideal and the real; the
dreamer and the practical man in one!
An irresistible combination that!
Fortune was further kind to him,
however, for concurrently with his de-
cision she presented him with an
opening. Gormly's business was sufn-
GENTLY great to have enabled him to
extend it in several directions. He

brought Ireland, England, France,
Germany, Holland. Spain, Italy, and
the Orient into New York bay and un-
loaded them in his great institution.
He had conceived, some dozen years
before after paying tremendous freight
charges, the propriety of establishing
his own line of freight steamers It
had amused him to combine the prac-
tise Of the ancient merchant prince
with the customs Of the modern one.
He had bought the controlling inter
est in a freight line of half a dozen
large steamers, which he found no
difficulty in using as cargo carriers
for other people when they were not
supplying his own needs.
The purchase Of the freight line had
with it a lease of one Of the piers in
the North river. The lease had run
out the year before. He had there
after availed himself of what he con-
ceived to be an excellent opportunity
of subleasing another pier in the East

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is, with some forms of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
a good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo-, to ex-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
81 have taught school for fifteen
years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however, my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily,
in spite Of Doctors prescriptions, and
everything I could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good, only
the more l ate the more 1 wanted to
eat-I was always hungry
'The first symptoms OF my break
down were a distressing nervousness
and loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles, which were very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches
THE doctors seemed powerless to
help me, said l was overworked, and
at last urged me to give up teach
ing, if 1 wished to save my life.
But this could not do. 1 kept on
at it as well as l could, each day grow
ing more wretched, my will-power
alone keeping me up, till at last a
good angel suggested that try diet
of Grape-Nuts food, and from that
day to this I have found it delicious
always appetizing and satisfying.
81 owe my restoration to health to
Grape-Nuts. My weight has returned
and for more than two years l have
been free from the nervousness, con-
stipation, piles, headaches, and all the
ailments that used to punish me so,
and have been able to work freely and
easily" Name given by Postum Co.,
