CAPTAIN AND CREW OF SEVEN
ARE WASHED OVERHEARD,
Blu TARE SAVED BY A SMALL
BOAT BREAKING LOOSE FROM
ITS DAVITS.

San Pedro, Cal, Feb, 15.-Saved
from certain death at sea by a prank
of fortune which washed a small boat
from its davits on the after house Of
the schooner Ida Mckay when she
turned turtle 100 miles off the North
ern California coast February 2,
Captain Llndgren and seven members
Of the Ida's crew reached San Pedro
today on the schooner Azalia, which
picked them up after they had drifted
helpless for more than two days.
The Ida Mckay, owned by the Paci-
fic States Trading company, left Co
guile river, Ore, for San Francis
co, January o. She was caught in a
terrific gale and sprung leak, finally
turning over in latitude Al north, lon
gitude 1872 west.
The little boat, which floated from
the wreck, was secured, and a gunny-
sack hoisted as a distress signal. The
men were without food or water until
picked up by the Azalia. All the
crew were saved.

GOVERNOR
APPOINTS A
COLONIST DAY
PROCLAMATION.
State Of Oregon. Executive. Depart
ment, Salem, February Is, 1919.

State Of Oregon. Executive. Depart
ment, Salem, February 15, 1919.
Oregon is waiting for colonists.
Her unclaimed acres need settlers.
Farms need to be peopled and
cleared, orchards to be planted and
cultivated, homes to be founded. The
state awaits Investment, and indus
trious and we'll directed effort. For
this 1t offers unbounded opportunity,
prosperity and success.
Oregon does not need the city man,
subsisting upon daily wage, ex-
cept as he may follow the instltu-
ton Of the factory, The workshop
and the business house, or the de-
velopment and the cultivation OF the
farm.
Oregon needs investors, active men
with active money and efficient ef-
fort She needs energetic men TO
people the vacant places and reap the
abundant products of a fruitful soil.
Oregon needs rural development, men
who have the training, the capability.
the energy and the money TO build
homes and achieve independence in
the country
True prosperity demands that the
cities do not outstrip and overhaul
ance the country. II we build up
the country districts, the cities will
keep abreast with their factories,
mills shops and stores.
It has been the custom in the past
to set aside a day to be known as
Colonist Day, at which time It was
urged that all Oregon people write
TO Eastern friends, telling them Of
the opportunities here and inviting
them 10 cast their lots with us. IL
Is proper, as loyal and patriotic citl-
zens Of Oregon for us to draw a true
picture OF the state and its posslblll-
ties, for our Eastern friends, for the
truth needs no embellshment.
Now therefore !, Oswald West,
governor, by virtue OF the authority
in me vested, and In view Of the fore
going premises, do hereby appoint
and proclaim Thursday February
%. TO be known as colonist Day
throughout the state Of oregon, and
I earnestly recommend that all the
people on this day write their friends
and relatives In other states, show
ing to them tho great possibilities Of
Oregon for the farmer. the stock
raiser, the dairyman the poultryman,
the fruit grower-for al productive
industries-In order that those whom
Oregon needs may be Induced 20 joln

EASY and sure way
TO CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect a Cold, Ely's Cream
Balm Will Stop it in the 'a
Sneezing Stage. +ta

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in others. A cold
is due to an. Inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passages,
and may be promptly cured with a
little Ely's Cream Balm, which i'm
mediately relieves the Inflammation
and all the distressing symptoms,
such as sneezing, coughing, running
at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore
throat, fever and headache. One rea-
son why this pure, antiseptic Balm
acts SO quickly is because it is ap-
piled directly to the tender, sore sur
face. ..,
Even in severe, chronic cases Of
catarrh Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing Of
the nose. This remedy not only
drives out the disease, but heals and
strengthens the weakened mem
branes, thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with it another
day. Get so cent bottle OF Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist to-
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.

The. SoiIum Anchorage.

The Gulf of Sollum is a misnomer,
as a glance at any good map will
show. At Ras ell Mihr the coast takes
q sudden trend south for 20 miles,
then turns as abruptly in an easterly
direction. Near the angle the high
coast drops suddenly in cliffy point,
nearly half a mile south of which Is
the anchorage on weedy bottom.
Twelve miles north Is Bardieh, bet
ter shelter, which would be made into
a tolerable harbor by a breakwater.
If the frontier line of Egypt were
carried about four miles to the west
Bardieh would be included in Egyp-
tian territory. The Sollum anchorage
derives it's principal value from the
fact that it is the nearest point on the
Mediterranean to the Siwah oasis, and
is thus the sea end of the most direct
route through string Of GASES to the
Sudan. But to describe this uninvit-
ing corner Of an inhospitable coast as
"the finest harbor in these parts"
In the words of contemporary, is al
together misleading.
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1912-02-20

There is talk of an effort to di-
vide Cass county at the approaching
general election. A glance at the
map suggests the propriety and feas-
ibility of the scheme, so far as area
goes But whether the assessed val
uaticn on the county is large enough
to justify the added expense of an
other coterie Of county officials and
other requirements of county main
tenance, presents another and very
important question. However, we do
not assume to advise our neigh bors
in the matter.

Making Good and Making Excuses.

Making Good and Making Excuses.
The peculiar thing about the man
who never makes good is his marve-
lous ability to trump up excuses
showing why and how" he could
not.
The man who tells you that he will
meet you at a certain hour and is
not there will invariably see you
next day with blanket of finely wo-
ven excuses which would do justice
to an attorney attempting to get a
new trial.
There was once solicitor connect
ed with big business concern who
did not solicit. He told few stor-
les, including one about his salary,
and always in conversation he drew
twice what he really got-and what
he really got was just twice what he
was really worth.
The man who never DOES is al
ways busy telling folks why he
DIDN'T. He evades direct answers
Just as he does direct action. He
is always GOING to do something
but never gets around to it. In the
world of excuses he is genius, but
no one is ever able to place a finger
on anything that he has actually
done.
The work of some people consists
in getting to and from the office, al
though their contract calls for busi-
ness. This type of Individual takes
up the time of those who are use
fully employed, telling just how he
"almost" landed a contract or made
a sale He may be punctual to the
minute but delivers nothing on his
arrival.
This type of man believes that "be-
ing around" is being on the job, that
getting down to the office is getting
down to business, that swelling up
over a thing is swelling the receipts.
When this type of man is discharg-
ed from his job, which of course he
always is in due course Of time, he
tells his friends how someone had it
in for him. and that his discharge
is the result of a conspiracy formed
by few head men who were afraid
Of him.
He is always late, always detained,
always busy, always sick-anything
and everything except on the job at
the time he is supposed to be.
The moral-The world has no use
for such a man and he is only used
to fill it until it is possible to get
the real thing.-Efficiency
