Their Reasons. When a man
takes a oiear out of his mouth to tell
the editor to stop his paper, that he
can't anora it, me euuor may
nothing, but he thinks a good deal.
And when he stops his paper because
he "hasn't time to read it," and goes
down town and whittles a drygoods
box for hours, the editor may say
nothing, but he thinks a good deal.
And when he stops his paper because
a two-line item does not suit him, and
then pesters his neighbor by borrow
ing the paper, the editor may say
nothing, but he thinks a good deal.
And when some business man says be
does not advertise beoause it does not
pay and then uses the entire sidewalk
in displaying bis goods, plasters them
over with such attractive cards as "I
am cheap," "buy me," etc., the editor
may say nothing, but he thiuks
great deal.

Cab Bb Permanently Cured. The
persistent cough which usually follows
an attack of the grippe can be perma
nently cured by taking Chaniborlain's
Cough Remedy. W. A. McQuire, of
McKay, Ohio, says: "Lb grippe left
me with a severe cough. After using
several different medicines without re
lief, I tried Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which effected immediate re
lief. I have also found it to be with
out an equal for children when troubled
with colds or croup. Fifty cent bot

Tub Old and Tub New. During

a multitude of men and boys, armed

streets of St. Melons for half au hour
or more, going from one part of town
to the other with their miscellaneous
onslaught, and if the old year didn't
get a farewell to be remembered and
the new year usliere-j in with all the
pomp and dignity that the boys were
equal to it was no fault of thoir own.
Tub Assessment Koi.l. County
Clerk Quick expects the assesHinent

Recent advices from Salem are to the
effect that In several counties, includ

and mule has been reduced twenty
per cent,while on cattle the assessment
lias been raited forty per cent. The
board has been wrestling with the as
sessment on town lots for sevoral days
past, but expect to finish their work
about January 15.
Hb Maiib a Mihtakb. A young
man in Eugene, who is very partial
lar about his washing, lately wroto a
note to his sweetheart, also one to his
wsHhwoman. By mistake the wrong
address was placed on each envelope.
The washwoman was very much
pleased to receive a note beginning
with "my darling," and which inviied
her to take a buggy-ride next day. But
with his sweetheart it was a little dif
ferent as this is tho letter she received :
''If you tumble up my bosom front
again as yon did the last time, I will
go somewhere else." She cried and
declared she would never, never speak
to him again.
y Disappointed Fibhbrnkh. Stur
geon fishermen who had expected to
make some money In their business
thia winter have been disappointed.
They say that there has been no run
of sturgeon, and attribute thia to the
slaughter of tho young ones in flth-
trapa and whoels. , Hie sturgeon ntn
ing promised to be profitable, but it
would seem that the end has been
reached already. Just bow long it
takes sturgeon to attain their growth.
no one knows, but it probably takes a
good many years, so that even if the
indiscriminate slaughter of the young
fish can be chocked it will be some
time before the, fishing ia profitable
again. ,S
Fkbtivitiss arb Ovbr. Notwith
standing the fact tbat the coming of
Christmas and New Year is hailed
with delight, it is equally ro that it is
a satisfaction to know that the festivi
ties are done with, aud people frill
once more resume the daily duties' of
life. We would not have it under
stood that we make these assertions
became we feel as if we had indulged
to too great au extent in the fun at
tendant upon such an occasion, or be
cause we went home singing "There's
a Difference in the Morning, but it is a
fact, nevertheless, that from a stand
point of business all will acknowl
edge that it is well the holidays are

SuiciriB at Pittsburg. Tho llltlff'
village of Pittsburg, in this county ,wus
the scone of a suicide last Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock.which waa a most
severe shock to the citizens of the
place. Mrs. D. W. Case, wife of one
of the proprietors of the Pittsburg mill,
while suffering from temporary aberra
tion, plunged from the county bridge,
a distance of twenty-five feet, into the
Nehalem river, which, at this season, is
deep, swift, and turbulent. The lady
had been ill for a snort time previous,
and during her illness bIis suffered a
reourrencs of a former aberration and
while in the unbalanced state of mind
suddenly fulfilled an insane determina
tion to destroy herself. Hhe was not
missed by her family until nearly an
hour after she made the fatal plunge,
by which time her body had drifted a
distance of a mile and a half, and set
tled to the bottom of the stream in
sixteen foot of water, where it was
found at 2 o'clock p. m. the following
day after a systematic search of the
stream. The remains were brought to
St. Helens and taken to Portland on
Wednesday for internment. Mrs. Case
was about thirty-five years of age, and
leaves a husband and two children,
who have the sympathy of their many
friends iu their sad Bud distressing
lots.
Buroi,arh ijt Portland. Portland
is suffering from tho work of thelves
and burglars, which are reported to be
very numerous at present. Houses are
broken into almost nightly. Many of
the robberies era not reported to the
police for several days afterwards, and
then it is too late to find any clue to
who the miscreant might be. On
Tuesday evening, during the absence
of the family, a residence was entered
and about $.')00 in cash, besides many
other valuable articles, ware stolen.
Chief of Police Hunt, of that city, has
ordered a general round-up of all va
grants and suspicious-looking charac
ters, nd the police are rigidly going
after them.
Gomo TJi tub Cowmtb. Hug
shouls of smelt are now making thoir
way up the Cowlitz to their spawning
?;rounds, and groat quantities are be
ng taken. Tons are sent to the Port
laud market.and although dealers there
are supplying them to all points along
the railroads, they cannot tako all
sent,and a largo number of boxes have
been left ou the hands of the express
company. Old-timers will feel certain,
now that the smelt have started up the
Cowlitz, that there is no danger of any
freeze-UD or snow, in fact, that the
worst of winter is over, but smelt, likofl
the white man, "is miehty 'onsartin."f

Thb Midwinter Fair. While the
great midwinter fair at San Francisco
was to be in full blast January 1, the
latest word is that, though it is officially
oponod on time, the exposition is far
frem complete as to the products of
California, and It does not seem proba
ble that the various Pacific states and
other departments will be fully organ
ized before February. As to the Ore
gon exhibit, the gentlemen interested,
who are subscribing their money as
well as cheorfully donating their time
and services, are constantly receiving
assurances from all parts of the state
that great interest is felt, and a gen
eral disposition exists to aid the cause
in every practicable way.
Which is Which? Reader, when
you aie preparing to come to town to
do some trading just pick up your
home paper, glance at the advertising
coin in ns and see who wants your trade.
We 11 guarantee that if yon trade with
those that recognize the local papers
as an incentive to thoir business, they
will save yoU money.' "The man who
advertises certainly has inducements
to offer you, or he would not ask you
to rail and sec him before buying. The
linn or person who has any articles or
a slock of goods for sale, who does not
advertise the fact, is supposed to be
dead to the world and don't intend
that tho public should know that he
wants their trade. In other words
such people cast their light "under a
bushel."
Prizb Potatoes. Iu a recent issue
of Vick's Floral Guide, we notice a list
of prizes awarded for fine potatoes, at
Vick A Sons international exhibit at
Rochester, N. Y. There were 600 ex
hibits of one dozen each which came
ftm every part of the United States,
but principally from the west and
northwest. The committee awarded
five prizes in all, and the third prize
of $20 was awarded Harry West, of
Scappoose, who exhibited a dozen
American Wonder potatoes which he
raised from seed furnished him by
Vick A Soiib. From one pound of
seed Mr. West raised 230 pounds of
potatoes, and he is conhdent that he,
could have-captured first prize had it
not been for the cold, unseasonable
spring last year,
How About Title. That there exists
in the usually qniet and peaceful little
city of St. lleluns. a degreu of dissatis
faction and jealousy among some of
the girls, remains no longer a doubt.
The degree of jealousy is assuming
proportions of considerable magnitude,
since just a day or two since a young
lady of this place was heard to remark
that she considered it very unfair that
the men of thia place were paying so
much of their attention to the lamp
posts about the city. It is a fact that
at about this season of the year the
lamp-poets are being bugged consid
erable and it ia not at all astonishing
that the girls would remonstrate. Do
not worry, girls, the holidays are gone
and perhaps the men about town will
endeavor to be more gentlemanly in
the future, or you might overcome the;
evil by holding the lamps yourselves,'
Business Depression. Tol. Thomp
son, the district agent for the State
insurance company of Salem, was in
town Tuesday on his way to Salem
from an extended trip to the Sound
country, and in speaking of the de
pressed nature of business, Mr. Thomp
son remarked to a Mist representative
that there was more business in the
little town of St. Helens than there
was in Fairhaven, Washington. He
says that there is absolutely no bus
iness being done in the Sound cities
and that in one instance he made par
ticular noto of the foot that at one of
the laading hotels of Fairhaven, where
the monthly expenses of the house
easily reach $1500 or flSOO per month,
there would be from two to half dozen
guests per day. In: New Whatcom,
Mr. Thompson saya that business in
terests are more lively, yet in a very
depressed condition. In Seattle bns-
iness ia a total wreok.tbere being noth
ing to create any stir, whatevon In
Taooma there are persons, who some
years ago were rated as well-to-do, tak
ing boarders into their residences, and
giving up the pleasures of a home in
order to live. . ...
