A Bhobt Face. -The salmon pack on the Columbia this season is esti mated to be 110,000 eases short, owing to the fact that many Independent psiiermcn sold tneir tun to the cold. storage concerns, where they received a quarter oi a cent per pound more. 1 he last few days of the season wit nessed lively competition among the dinners. Jin advance of one-Quarter of cent was first made, and soon after one-naif cent mora was ofwtsd for flab Taken altogether the season baa not been a very profitable one for either lisnermen or eannerymen. The aou closed Wednesday, Faki M kkchakts, The Tillamook Herald saya: "From the way travel ing men are selling goods on the In stallment plan to the people of Tilla mook county, it is quite evident that they have forgotten all about the steel range man. Tboee wanting pianos or organs, or wagons, or anything else would do much better to trade with some one in that line of business at home, even if they had to pay a little more, which we very much donbt. These travelers pay no taxes in your county contribute notntng to the maintenance of your schools, your roads and bridges and county govern mentand those who patronise them often find that they have purchased a liw suit as well as a "steel range." Buy from your home dealers and you re safe. ' Macadam Boads. -There can be little doubt that Clatsop county needs rock crusher for making ood roads. The lime was, a century ago in New England, whan they bad better roads than Oregon ever boasted, that they began to discover that they were be hind the times and noeded something belter. Bum pie miles of fine macadam have recently been laid as an example, and the farmers using these stretcnes of really good road have demanded and are getting the whole state grid ironed with the new roads. It is on the lima principle that the 0. B. A N. railroad, which bad a road and has done business over it for years, dis covered that it was not up to the demands of modrn commerce, and bate just spent f 000,000 to improve what was considered a good road. Clat sop wants to lead in road matters and oot rebuild after patterns lb other sec tions of the itate, Aitorlan. Ouk Summer Resorts. Columbia county's popularity as a delightful place to apeud a week or a month away from the heat, dust, and business of a lively city is becoming rapidly and firmly established. Many people from the city now seek our forests and ,, mountains for relief during the beated period of our summers. As a matter f tact, Columbia county oflera many inducements to campers. Its location is near enough the coaat to afford cool, pleasant weather, especially in our mountains, where numerous beautiful treams are to be found in which trout bound in numberlos quantities.! Water is pure and healthy aud the atmosphere cool and invigorating.; North Soappooee creek, the Bunker hill spring, Tide creek, Upper Clata kanie, Book creek, and the Nebalem river are places which sfford extraor dinary attractions for campers, and these resorts are becoming more popu lar each year. An Editor's Habd Lot. A melan choly pioture of an editor's life in the state of Oregon is drawn by the Bos lyn (Mich.) Sentinel : "There are al ways those who will kick. For in stance, if you publish jokes with whiskers on them, some will sny that you ought to be in a lunatic joint. If you don't print something to smile at, they say you are a p ssimistio fossil. If you spread yourself and write a good, sensible artiole, they will say it is stolen. If you reprint an article, thev say you can't write. If you my a deserving word for a man, you are partial; if you compliment the ladies, the men are jealous; and if you don't, the verdict of the ladies is to the effect that your paper is not fit to use in ine construction of a bustle. If you stay in vonr office, vou are afraid to remain on the elreete; if you do, you are lasy. If you look seedy, you are sqandering your money ; u you wear gooo cioiuw, 'nn km a fluue ana aon 1 1T lur maw, f nu nlv a social nnir of anv kind and getstuok, you are a fish; if you win, yeu are a un-norn, mo through one continual round of pleas ant cemplicalions."

Houlton Is fait developing into a beautiful little city. Craelty to Antnaals. Bince operations were resumed at th Uunton cannery immense herds of hones have been shipped there from the interior tor slaughter. It Is needless to say that these poor ani mals were not pat aboard of the railroad ears with a viw to their comfort while in transit, and occasionally several were tram pled to death. This morning a tralnload arrived bar orer th O. R. A N. Un, on which war found nearly 40 dead earoaase. Thty were of tmall horse and poniei, who lost their Urea either through tuffocation or crushing. Thit Incident wat reported to Chief of Polio UoLanohlan, who will cause Humane Officer Caswell to Investigate It In the event be ean make a case against the ship pers or ths corporation, It will be prosecuted In the eourte. The Linnton cannery finds a market for oat of Its product in Europe, and It stands to reason that its Interest lies la canning nothing but pure meat Hence th com pany will also find It advantageous to cans Its livestock to be shipped In better condi tion. ' Later In tbe day Human Officer Csswsll visited th stockyard. Th scene before him was absolutely sickening. The dead horses had wounds of nearly every conceiv able nature. From some of them email oolta the entrailt were even protruding. Among the lot he found one ytt giving a few spasmodic kicks and that animal he put out of misery with a platol shot. These anlmsls, dead and alive, were packed in the can almost as solidly as sar dines In a box. How they managed to breathe or to move so as to hi jure one an other Is Inexplicable. Tbe shipper of tbeae horses Is T. H. Mc Carthy, of Huntington. Telegram. . What One Man Has Done. Tillamook Herald. As an evidence of what Industry and per- serverenoe, combined with good mansge ment.may accomplish In Tillamook county, we submit ths following intsrvlew with a well-known dairy farmer, Mr. Frank Ely: "'t- arrived In Tlllamaok county nine years ago with three horses and a wagon, and over taOO in debt. I sold ths horses for 370 and traded of the wagon for a cow. My wife and I went to work in a logging oamp, and remained at it for about tw ysara. Than I bought SO acres of land on th Tillamook river, totitb of tht old True man Harris plac, on South Prairie, for which I paid (400. The land was all covered with brush and a btavy growth of tprnoe timber.- 1 sold th Umber to Frank Sever ance, wh j logged It off, and I slashed and burnt the brush and built me a box house 14x32 with an 'IV four rooms ikake roof; mad th shaket myself. Built me a barn 48x33 out of Staff I split myself. Did not work out much alter ths third year I was here. I began to eell butter when I had only one eow. By the fourth year I had four cows snd they brought tue In 300.20. I alio raised berries and potatoes for mar kat, and told some hay, calves, aad hogs. In seven years I had paid all my debta and bad $000 In the bank. With that 1 bought 21 acret off the Trueman Earrls place which joined me on the north, going over 300 fn debt for It. I then built aie a new house on the land I last bought, which has cost me nearly $300 thus far. It Isn't quite finished yet, bat soon will be. I now her 17 head of cattle, a good team of horses, a wagon, a carriage, and hay enough to last ma two years. "I ascribe my success to hard work and square dealing and minding my own busi ness. . IN MEMOBIAM. On tht Srd day of August, 1808. the eltl- sens of Mint and vicinity were startled by ths Intelligence of the very sudden death of Mrs. Matilda Lint, at tht age of (7 yean, 0 months, and fourteen days, fine had pre pared breskfatt, and no unusual complaint wat made until within one hour before tbe fatal ehange, which wat probably from heart failure. A dispatch brought her son, Newton, from hit home in Washington on the asms svenlng. On ths morning of tht Stb, the large number of persons who gath ered at Mist to attend tbe funeral told tbe high esteem In which ths wss held. At 10 a, m. the funeral procession starttd from Mist to tb cemetery near Flthbawk, at which plac quit an addition swelled the number in attendance. Tbe sermon was preached .from John xl, 20: 0. While all sought to comfort the bereaved husband and the attending relatives, no condolence could stay the unbidden tears. Nor do we think God would have It otherwise. He has not planted tender affections here and bidden na be Stoics. When the treasures be has lent us are suddenly removed, and the strongest cords that bind heart to heart are strained by the parting, be would not have us aeny that we are wounded. AL though to tbe bereaved "Tbe earth seam lonesome" and It has certainly lost, we con fidently believe that another soul entered tbe portals of glory and Joined tbe number of whom It la written These are they thst have come out ef great tribulation," for early had the learned tbe mood "That 'tie woman't highest glory to be good." Ths victory Is all ths more glorious by being gained In tb wildamait. No lively Chris tian church with Babbatb devotion ano- eored her in the conflict, and with peculiar significance can she bow say: "Thank b unto Ood whoglveth as tbsvlotory through Jesus Christ our Lord." To her, Ood has truly said: "Well done, thou good and faithful." Reader can he say tblste you T Remember he cannot lie. Anon. Jotted tbe Benedict. Telegram. Keeler H.
