Long Bkacii. Long Beach on the
Washington side of Colombia river con
tinues to be the most popular summer
coast resort. The bench there is about
18 miles in length on which it is a
pleasure to wheel. Beside the fine fish
ing there is an abundance of clams
which are easily obtained. Immense
crabs are plentiful in season. Every
now and then a school of sardines or
bake will be driven ashore by larger
fish in such numbers that they can be
secured by the wagon load. Besides
the two lighthouses, Fort Canby and
the U. S. Life paving station there is
four wrecks now on the beach, two of
which are not hurt in the least and able
to so to see if they could be gotten off
the sands. One can also visit thellwaco
salmon canneries, thecranberry patches
and Shoalwater bay, where large quanti
ties of oysters are raise J yearly. Pro
vision there are about same price as
here with freight added. Furnished
cottages for the season rent from $25 up,
the average being about $50. The fare
from Portland and return is about ti.

train from there to any point on the
beach from Ilwaco to Nahcotta.

pressed a willingness to heard out his
fine in jail bnt changed his mind when

the police judge. J

Sweetness and Light.
Put a pill in the pulpit if you want practical
preaching: for the physical rian ; then put the
pill in the pillory if it does not practise what it
preaches. There's a whole gospel in Ayer's
Sugar Coated Pills ; a " gospel of sweetness
and light." People used to value their physic,
as they did their religion, by its bitterness.
The more bitter the dose the better the doctor.
We've got over that. We take "sugar in ours"
gospel or physic now-a-days. It's possible to
please and to purge at the same time. There
may be power in a pleasant pill. That is the
gospel of
Ayer's Cathartic Pills.
