There Is an Industry In Astoria that deserves the patronage of everyone who has the welfare of the city at heart. C. M.

The block of wood is spruce and measures two feet long nd eleven feet In diameter, and weighs about four tons. It was brought to this city on the train from Seaside and transferred by means of a derrick on board of the O. K. and put on board the Telephone last night. The slip landings In this city were too small to have tt landed, and Is the heaviest block of wood ever shipped from this city. Mr. Johnson says the tree from which It was cut was 3 years old. and shows a wonderful degree of fertility of soil and climate of this coun ty, as It generally takes a tree "AW years to attain such large proportions.

It Is asserted by old nsnermen who watch the annual run of the different species of salmon that every iour years oiueuacgs oome to the river In hirge quantities, while the seasons be tween but very few are taken. Since 'W very few bluebacks came In the Columbia and the gear used during that season has been since lying practically idle. During the freshet of that year the 'bluebueks were very numerous and were slaughter ed by the seines until the river got too high. When the tide lands became Inun dated the fish sported among the brush and gardens of dwelling houses, and boat loads of them were taken with the use of a small piece of net. The run lasted about two weeks and during that time many of the fishermen, especially on the upper rivVr, reaped a rich harvest. Gear that had Inld Idle for many y.ir pre vious, was put In the water, some of it for the first time, and paid Its owner handsomely. A number of the fishermen were not able to obtain the proper gear, the me.h used being from 'i to t. They do not comc. n the river In any numbers b-fore July, but this season will prove the correctness of the four-year theory. miss Harriet Tallant. assisted by Miss .van Keed. .Miss Olga He-Hbom and Miss Nellie Sherman, nre planning a novel and WHEN TRAVELING Whether on pleasure bent or business, take on eery trip s bottle of Syrup of Figs, ss it acts most pleasantly and ef fectually on the kidneys, liver, and bow els, preventing fevers, headaches, and other forms of sickness.

Por ing the course of the interview the queen regent said: "We have almost all of Europe with us. and in the painful moments we are now passing through that Is a great con solation, and at the same time an en- couragement. Not that We shall ask anything whatever from the powers which are expressing their sympathies tor us. out from the point of view the strictly neutral attitude touches profoundly. Not a day passes without bringing warm letters from abroad, some even from the t'nlted Stass. These doc uments go straight to our hearts.

Wlncberdon. a commercial traveller from lUrmlngham, whose busi ness keeps him almost constantly on the road, relates In the Sunday News the dan gers to health resulting from constant change of residence and the way lie over came the usual Injurious effects. He says: one thing people traveling cannot very well avoid is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become ac customed t anything and In a few years or much sootier the average traveling man .ecomes a hopeless dyspeptic. For several years I suffered more or less from Indigestion, sour stomachs, headaches, distaste for food, often no appetite. r on the stoma.'h and the usual unpleasant effects of Imperfect digestion. Nearly every traveling man has his favorite remedy for different troubles and I tried all of them w 1th Indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, I overheard a conversation between two ladles, one of whom had suffered severely from Indlgea tlon and slated she bad been completely cureo by a remedy whl.h she calbd Stuart's Pyspepsu Tablets; 1 remem bered the conversation because It directly Interested me; and at the next town I Innulreu at the first drug store and bougnt a package for fifty cents, and from that day to this I have never been without th'tn. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a set ret patent medklnc, but coniM,s d of Vt getahle essences, pure pep sin. fruit salts and Golden Seal; being In tablet form they lover o. their good iiuallnes like a linuid medicine would, but are ,nri) fresh and ready for use. I carry a box in my pocket continually and whenever I see any symptoms of in digestion I take one. also one afti r each ileal, and for a year and a half I have not lost a day by reason of r health and ran eat anything an.l relish what cut; my digestion Is absolutely perfect as far as I can Judge from my feelings and although thre may be other stoma.! meillclnes Just as good as Stuart's I)y pepsla Tablets, I do not know what they are. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any Mould medicine, us liny are so convenient, they inn be car rled In the pocket and used whenever needed. I belli-ve they nre sold by all druggists at SO cents, and believe anyone who will try them will agree with ms. that for In digestion und stomach trouble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are uneuualed. sonn OF OUR WIND-UP PRICKS: MEN'S SOCKS.

'ln,lt H wny we are proud of Europe' encouragement. . e nave nrm hopes n the future ;o,l knows that we did not desire war and did everything to avoid It. I cm say that every kind of humiliation was heaped upon us by the United States, but everything has an end. The United states government said to itself. 'We can demand everything we choose from Spain and after some recrimination we will obtain It because Hp.i.n is poor and will not dare to face war.' Reasoning thus they piihlied us till w- could go no further. Finally the rupture came, to the 'inioiii-onieill or me AmiTleuhH themselves, who had fallen Into their own Hnare. They were so sure of holding u in their power through what th sidered our great poverty, that th not ready to go to war. Th ready now." "i'hey say, your majesty," said the corninlsloncr, " that the real reason of the American minister's departure was not the one announced; that Is., the Span ish government's refusal to receive the ultimatum." "The reason given was, nevertheless, almost the correct one," was the queen's reply, " but previously the United States mlniwter hud delivered llwlr verbnl ultl- 1 matnrn: 'Kilhcr Cuba must be paWiicd within forty-eight hours or else ,, rup ture of diplomatic relations, that 1h. war will ensue.' Under these circumstances the reception of an ultimatum had be come unnecessary." "The American government," continued the queen, "gave way before the pressure of public opinion; that Is the explanation ' of an otherwise unexplained ult,cnl,,t, i because we bad agreed u everything we ' could. They knew that on the day the Spanish government grunted autonomy to ' uoa u was practically abandoning Its very rights over the Island. Rut now It Is too late to argue. The time has come for iietlon, not words. Lot us have con- ! Ildence In God, confidence In the future, i Who can say that Europe will not Inter- ! vene after the first serious battle." j CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
