McAllen & McDonnell's
Tub Halm Thke. n interesting item
appearing in the Dayton Herald is as
follows: "Charles Spaulding of New
burg, the log man, has a monopoly on
the balm business. He hag a contract
with the Oregon City pulp mill.company
to get out 10,000,000 feet of balm logs for
their mills, with the privilege, if he
desires, to get out 2,000,000 feet more
logs. The Oregon City pulp mill com
pany furnish the other pulp mill com
pany in that city with what logs they
use. So it is to be seen that Mr.Spauld
ing has a big thing in balm logs. These
ho mostly gets along the Willamette
river bottoms. The pulp company, in
order that the balm timber is not
entirely obliterated by the heavy drain
made upon it by the demand for logs to
Work up into pulp, keep a man em
ployed sowing balm seed along river
bottoms. As balm trees make a rapid
growth in faorable locations, it is
bought that enough timber can be kept
growing to almost, if not altogether,
supply the demand of the mills. The
timber can be cut and used for pulp
When ten years old. Mr. Spaulding is
thoroughly equipped to handle logs, ho
being owner of the steamer Gray Eagle,
Which he uses for towing logs and other
purposes in his business."
A Fish Story. Mr. A. Seaman, of
Sunnyside, Wash., when in Portland a
few days since, got in a jar with some
skeptical people, says the Oregonian.
He told a rather remarkable story about
winning a bet of $150 at Oregon City in
1858 by riding a sturgeon across the
Willamette. He tied an empty keg to
the head of the sturgeon, which weighed
some 400 pounds, andanoiher keg to its
tail, and put a rope around its nose for
lor a bridle. He then mounted the
fish, and succeeded in riding it safely
across, and won the bet. Some who
hevdtha story intimied that it was
a fish story, and others classified it in
less ambiguous terms. The old gentle
man did not like to have his word doubt
ed, and promptly called down bis detrac
tors by offering to bet any or all of them
$500 that bis statement was correct. As
the accident occurred nearly 30yearsago,
it is not likely that there are many now
in Oregon City who witnessed it but, if
any there be who did, it is not likely
that they have forgotten it. Clark
Grjenman is , the only old settler
that remembers the above feat being
performed by Mr. Seaman, and says
the fish was used to tow rafts and scows
for some time, when it was sold by Mr.
Seaman and S. W. Moss, who ran a
butcher shop, at 10 cents per pound.
Mr. Seaman at another time caught a
sturgeon weighing 900 pounds.

Fair. See their goods and prices. Do
not try to solve the problem how they
can sell so cheap. But take advantage
of the opportunity, and make your
purchases there. Goods sold at less
than manufacturer's cost. A general as
