It is by far the most beautiful and sightly piece of land yet offered for sale. The timber is light (small hemlock) and the land can be cleared of every stick and stump for less than thirty dollars ($30) a block. When so cleared it is comparatively level; only enough slope to secure good drainage. We offer the first twenty (SO) blocks at the low price of sixty-five dollars $65 for inside, ana eighty dollars $80 for corner lots. DON'T WAIT !

The foie-nuiner of modern-blood medicines, Ayer'a Sarsaparilla is still the most pop ular, being in great er demand than all others combined. Ayer'a Sarsaparilla is selling faster than "ever before. I never hesitate to iccommend it." George V. Whitman, Druggist, Albany, Iud. " I am Safe in saj ing that my sales of AVer's Sarsaparilla far excel those of any other, and it gives thorough satisfac tion." L. H. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa. " Ayer's Sarsaparilla and Ayer's Pills are the best selling medicines in my store. I can recommend them conscien tiously." C. Bickhaus, Pharmacist, Boseland, 111. "We have sold Ayer'a Sarsaparilla here for over thirty years and always recommend it when asked to name the best blood-purifier." W. T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio. M I have sold your medicines for the last seventeen ears, and always keep them in stock, as they are staples. There is nothing so good for the youth ful blood' as Ayer's Sarsaparilla." B. L. Parker, Fox Lake, "Wis. "Ayer's Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have in stock. I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, 'I prescribe it over the counter.' It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors' prescriptions have been of no avail." C. F. Calhoun, Monmouth, Kansas. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, fBIPAKED ST Ore J. C.

Scooped From the Taroma ''Globe." In Cuba it costs $24 a year to take a newspaper. A Tacoma man says it is going to cost a neighbor of his more than that i the neighbor don't quit taking his Qlobe before he gets up. An expert musician says that only one man in a thousand can whistle a tune. If this were more truthful than it is, it would be a matter for special flTno-v.uo uu -Luanksgrong j5oj. A Democratic newspaper Says: "President Harrison is a lightweight." This would not be so astounding from such a source were it not that the president has sat so heavily upon so many Democrats. In Michigan dogs are assessed SI each for being dogs. In Tennessee they assess doctors 50 cents each for being doctors. So it costs a half a dollar more to be a dog in Michigan than it does to be a doctor in Tennes see. Sam Jones says: ''If I had a creed Fd sell it to a museum." Doubtless it would be quite a curiosity. A man who can talk of God putting the an gels on half rations may have lots of religion, but he is welcome to keep it. A book has been sent to this office entitled, "How to Get Strong." One way to get strong is to lie around beer saloons, drjnk schooners, eat onions and limberger and wear the ssime socks until they are rights and lefts. We don't want to get strong. Milt Nobles is a great actor and an excellent gentleman, but in giving to the world the expression, "The villain still pursued her," he has much to an swer for. Not so much on account of anything intrinsically bad about the remark as that so many people use it when they might be expected to say something else. A Walla Walla young man prom ised his wife that if he got too poor to have the family washing done at a laundry he would do it himself. He has reached the washing stage in his finances, but he kicks on fluted skirts and things, wears a blue flannel shirt which he changes twice a year whether he needs a change or not. A. far eastern exchange desires to be informed why so many young women commit suicide in New York. Prob ably one reason is that they are in New York when the felo de se fancy V takes them. Another .reason is that they have no fellow to see, and yet another is because they don't come to Washington and find out that life is worth living, and where women have no desire to become celestial angels until they are pressingly invited.

The survey of the mouth of the Columbia ordered by, the chief of en gineers was completed some time since, under the direction of Major T. H. Handbury, United States en gineers, and the notes are now being worked up in hi3 office. Following is an extract from tho Oregonian, from his report to the chief of eu VeYy' ''grBffi31 to thf ntfavB-taseu place on the barstiee0t1ie snrvey fit 1885. At that date the extent of crest between the crossing of the eighteen-foot curvo on the north aud the crossing of the same curve on the south was about one and one-fourth miles. Now this distance is five miles, the middle sands having been entirely washed away. In other words, in 1885, vessels crossing the bar had a width of channel of one and one-fourth miles; now they have equally good water for five miles. There has been a gain also of avail able channel depth of from one to two feet. The indications are that the best water will be found directly out over the middle of the bar. The jetty undoubtedly is producing this result. I have every confidence that after the next June rise of the river a well-defined channel of at least twenty-six feet at low water will be developed. This may be considered a very sat isfactory showing, when it is remem bered that there was no flood in the Columbia last year, and therefore the jetty did not produce so much change as it otherwise might. Major Handbury says work on the locks at the Cascades will be shut down and the men discharged on December 1, the works being left for the winter in charge of two watch men. Work will be'kept up on the jetty at the month of the river with the exception of extending the tramway, as long as tho weather will permit of taking stone down, and a force will be employed in the preparation of plant for the next season. A number of cars will be built and a new pile driver, as the old one is getting worn and liable to give out, and it is not advisable to wait till this occurs and then have the work delayed till a new one can be built.
