PORTLAND LIVE STOCK

The following letter has been re-
ceived from the Portland Union Stock
Yards company for the week ending
Friday, January 10: Receipts for the
week have been: Cattle, 1866; calves,
81; hogs, 9021; sheep, 5026.
The cattle market has not been
characterized this week by quality
and as a result top prices have ruled
less than last week Top steers
brought $500 Monday, but have ruled
less since Best COWS brought $6.75.
Hogs have steadily declined since
Monday, although the Portland mar
ket has maintained it's supremacy
over all other American markets all
week. The depression seems general
and is not by any means a local af-
fair. Top prices around $500.
Sheep market continues strong with
light receipts. There is still short
age of good quality stuff coming for
ward, but all offerings are being Ia
ken readily.

For once, In a way, it fell out pre-
cisely as Mr.. Law had planned and
prayed.
Constrained to pull up in order to re-
move the obstruction from the track,
the train crew Of the freight choked

In the same humor he turned and re-,

opened 1t wide and swept out into the
corridor, her mood now one of really
fetching mockery.
THANK you so much!" she laughed
into his face of discontinue; and drop,
ping him an ironic curty, she turned
forward and swung into the drawing
room occupied by Urine.
Wonder what she put that on for?"
he speculated, with reference to the
hankle-long Pullman wrapper which Ju-
dith had seen fit to don during her
period Of captivity. Heaven knows
it's hot enough without wearing more
clothing than decency demands Z.
But you never can tell about wom-
an I bet dollar I've made a
blithering ass Of myself-letting her
loose at ALL"
He took his doubts aft, communil
eating them to Alan and Rose.
And his long conference with Alan
and Rose on the observation platform
afforded Judith ample opportunity In
which undetected to suborn the train
crew to treachery.
Whether she did or not, this is what
happened in the course Of the next
hour; the special was forced to take
siding to make way for the California
limited, east-bound; and when this had
passed. the engine Of the special
coughed alphabetically and pulled
swiftly out, leaving the Pullman stalled
on the siding.
From the rear of the tender the
brakeman and fireman waved affecting
farewells to the indignant faces of
Alan and Barcus when they showed in
the front doorway.

"But-damn it!-we've got to-"
"Profanity-even yours, my friend

"All the same, we can't stop here
like bumps on log, waiting for that
gang of thugs to sail up in the light
engine and cut our blessed throats."
Mr. Law answered this unanswer-
able contention only with a shrug.
Then, stepping out on the forward
platform of the Pullman, he cast a
hopeless eye over the landscape.
Raw, rugged hills hemmed in the
right Of way, hills whose vast TANKS
were covered with dense thickets of
mesquite, chapparal, sagebrush and
cacti, the haunt Of owls and rattle
snakes and-solitude. No way Of es-
cape from that pocket in the hills 9TH
er than by the railroad itself.
He lowered his gaze to the tracks
and siding-and started sharply.
"Eh-what now?" Barcus inquired
with interest.

old hand car over there in the DITCH"
Alan replied. Maybe it isn't beyond

ballast and trotting over to the ditch,
where the hand car lay.

nounced. Come along and lend me a

Half a minute" Barcus answered,
lodging suddenly back into the car
When he reappeared, after some five
minutes, Rose accompanied him, and
Barcus was smiling as brilliantly as
though nothing whatever was wrong
with his world.
Sorry to keep you waiting, old top"
he explained; "but was -smitten with
an inspiration There didn't seem to
be any sense In letting the amiable
Judith loose upon this fair land, so

An arm answered the signal from

She turned and peered ahead. The
freight was approaching a trestlo that
spanned wide and shallow gully.
So much the better!
Dropping down again between the
cars, she set herself to solve the prob
lem of uncoupling the caboose.
In this she was successful just as
the last car rolled out on the trestle
Its own impetus carried the caboose
to the middle of the trestle before it
stopped.
AS this happened, Alan and Barcus,
already warned Of an emergency by
the slowing down of the car, and for
some time alive to the fact that the
special was again in pursuit, leaped
out upon the ties and helped Rose to
aIight.
Already the last Of the freight was
whisking off the trestle, it's crew thus
far unconscious of their loss.
And behind them the special was
plunging forward at undated speed.
There was no time to execute their
plan Of the first desperate instant-to
run along the ties to safety on the
solid earth: the distance was too
great; they could not possibly make it.
With common impulse the two men
glanced down to the bottom of the
gully, then looked at each other with
eyes informed by common inspiration.
Barcus announced in a breath:
"Thirty feet-not more"
Alan replied: Can you hold the
weight of the two of us for half a min
ute?"
Barcus shrugged: "I can try. We
might as well-even if l can't"
While speaking, he was lowering
himself between the ties.
"All right" he announced briefly.
With word to Rose, Alan slipped
down beside Barcus, shifted his hold

Town over him until he was supported

distance to the ground, scant ten

The whistle Of a locomotive over

door A curve In the track below the
freight, laboring up a steep grade, en-
abled her to catch glimpse Of a head
light, followed by string Of lighted
windows, indicating single car: the
special, beyond a doubt.
Without hesitation, since the train
was not running at speed, she dropped
out to the ballast, wheeled smartly
about, caught the handbar at the end
of the box car as 1t passed and swung
herself up between 1t and the caboose.
A trife later the freight gained the
summit Of the grade and began to run
more smoothly.

THE LATE ALBION P. GOODhUE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Reading in last weeks Journal the obit-
uary of Albion P. Goodhue in the Stock
ton column recalled the time when
young man l worked under him in the
Stockton shipyard. Coming home from
the war in 1865 landed in that town and
went to work for Mr.. John Littlefield in
the Nathan Hichborn yard. Mr.. Good
hue was man who won your respect on
acquaintance and to know him intimate
ly was to love him. He was a man of
few words, but they always went to the
right spot. In my early boyhood, like
him, I had resolved never to use any
strong drink and we'll do l remember his
advice along these lines. l met him at
Brewer when in the employ of Mr..
Littleield, and the last time met him
was at the Veterans meeting in Stockton,
when he seemed very much pleased to
meet the boys of 81 and '65. Let those
who knew him best follow the footprints
he has left. A. STMsoN.

For Those Who Attend Revival Meetings.
Don't come. If you do come, always
come late. If it's too hot, too cold, too
windy, too rainy, too dry. don't 60. Ex-
pect the preacher to be just as eloquent
if he's only got wood and varnish to talk
to.
Don't sit up IN front; people might
think you are interested.
When you do come, come to find fault.
Don't sing; sit there like bump on
log.
Remember, on freight trains they put
the loads up front and the empties be-
hind-it pulls easier.
Don't pray for the Evangelist; it might
help him.
Don't encourage the pastor, but tell
his faults to every one you meet.
If he does something you don't like,
peddle it around the street; by the time
it's gone two blocks it will be lie and
libel.
Be sure and give the stranger the icy
palm and the marble heart.
Stare at him like he was burglar after
your pocketbook and he might be en-
couraged to come again.
Don't bring anybody with you; it might
fill up the seats.
Discourage anybody who wants to
help in the work for Christ.
Never talk to man about Jesus; he
might be converted and go to Heaven in
stead of going to He'll.
Don't worry about how the church
looks, just SO your own home is handsome.
If you see town where the churches
haven't had coat of paint in five years
and the saloons all look bright and pros
porous, pass the town up; forget it.

THE GOVERNMENT STEAMER IN
SPECTOR,

Built Under the Superintendent of Capt
E. o. Patterson.
The Charleston, West Virginia, Post
of March 31st gives an interesting
account of the trial run of the steam
er Inspector, built at the Ward En-
gineering works at that place for the
United States government under the
superintendent of Capt. Ernest O.
Patterson. The Inspector has twin
screw propellers, engines that de-
veloped over 700 horse power, and the
Post says: "From the top of her pilot
house to the bottom of her steel hull,
from stem to stern she is well-knit
union of strength, power and beauty"
Her trial run was complete success,
and after receiving last coat of paint
she will be turned over to the govern
ment for the use of the Mississippi River
Commission. The Post says:
Captain Patterson, the governments
representative con the job" since the
keel was laid, and who carefully made
exhaustive tests, declined to make any
statement, conforming thereby to the
department policy. But those who took
the trouble to watch his expression did
not feel at all disheartened Mr.. Ward,
in overalls and jumper, his face fairly
wreathed in smiles, looked up long enough
to say that he was very much pleased
with the Inspectors behavior, and that
roug bly, estimated the ship would exceed
specifications by 20 or Is per cent.

FARM CONDITIONS IN IOWA.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Father Time" has added another year
to his list, and l am glad to be able to
answer ''present. )" l read of your dusty
roads in Maine; ours have been dust in
solution. The condition of the roads could
hardly be worse, with snow. rain and
sleet. A few dry days has put the soil
in shape so the road drag can be used.
The weather is yet cool. The soil is we'll
saturated and the farmers are looking
for a good crop this year. We had
good crop of corn and small grain, but
the hay and potato crop were short; but
adjoining States had a good potato crop,
SO we got fine ones for 65 cents, deliver
ed. 1t has been hard winter for stock
men, with hay at SIS per ton and corn
IS cents to rs cents per bushel. while
cattle and hogs are relatively low. The
foot and mouth disease has damaged
Iowa greatly, up into millions of dollars,
but we look for good prices this year.
We don't think the packers have suffer-
ed any. There is quite large amount
of winter wheat here, and so far it is in
fine condition, as we have had plenty of
snow to protect it.
The horrid war still RACES and God per-
mlts it regardless of our prayers. The
Journal reaches us on Saturday and is
always welcome visitor.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

Much disease, trouble, suffering, de-
preston and worry, usually blamed to
other causes is due to constipation.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and proper
treatment with gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatives, unfortun-
ately so common, gives temporary relief
but in the end aggravates constipation.
Pinklets dainty ,sugar-coated granules,
they act gently, causing no nausea or
gripping. They clear away the waste and
prevent congestion. With little per.
sistence, which the result is well worth,
Pinklets really correct chronic constipa-
ton.
