(Jcorgo A. smith, nged 70 years,

Mr. Smith was found face down
bcsldo his burro and goat, IiIk two
companions for two or threo years,
whilo Mr. Hinlth was pursuing his
(ravelB nbout tho country. Ho had
a hobby to bo on the move, probab
ly grown out of his early experiences
b a miner nnd ploneor, and this and
Ills belief that ho could live to ho a
hundred years old, led him to live
simply and In n manner after some
of tho Dlblo characters, whom ho
emulated in his travels. It Is be

Left 950,000 Krtnto
Dcsplto his peculiarities, his slm
plo faro nnd prlmltlvo mothod of
travel, ho Is thought to have left
nn cstato of nearly $50,000. Ho had
taionoy insevornl of tho banks, and
his farm in Camas Calloy is ono ot
tho best In that section. His last
irip bogan in July, his intention be
ing (o visit a daughter In Southern
Calfornla, and ho was soon at several
points by local peoplo as ho camped
bcsldo tho road. Tho man, burro
nnd goat usually walked, but occas
ionally the goat becoming tired, was
trained, it Is said, to Jump on tho

ride in a sort of rago. On ono such

WEDDKItntJUN. Ore., Aug. 30.
Tho salmon fishing season Just clos
ed was ono of tho most successful in
many years past and tho pnclc from
Itoguo river tho largest on record
slnco the Wcddorburn Trading Com
pany has been operating and for
some years nt least boforo that tlmo.
Tho total salmon packed of this
company so far amounts to 12,000
csbcs. Each case contains 48 cans
of salmon bo this makes a total of
570,000 cans, enough to feed a Eu
ropean army of one million n Bquaro
mcnl on which they could fight at
Icnst six hours.
Would Feed Army
It Is claimed that canned salmon
Is one of tho most nutritious foods
that can be carried in tho bulk. Ono
of tho reasons that it is not usod
extensively In tho present war Is that
an opener is necessary to order to
get nt tho contents of the can nnd
tho supplying of n can opener would
bo nn extra burden to tho equipment
of the soldier.
For this reason canned salmon Is
ono of tho food products of this
country which lias been sold ex
tensively to tho warring nations. Tho
salmon mnrkct right now Is not en
tirely satisfactory but tho product
Is being canned Just tho same oven
though it may bo kept in storage
awaiting n snlo.
Klilp to Astoria
Tho Wcddorburn Trading Com
many is shipping eomo of tho cans
without labels. They will bo hold
in storago at Astoria or Fortland
nnd when sold' may be disposed of
to gome firm which desires to uso
Its own labolo. Tho salmon Is ship
ped out from Wcddorburn as fast as
posBlblo so that it will bo at n con
venient shipping point at any tlmo
that It may bo sold.
The fishing season opens again
Soptombcr 10. At that tlmo Chl
nookB and sllvcrsldcs will bo caught.
Sllvorsldcs do not command tho samo
prlco as Chlnooks and tho fall fish
aro not ns desirable ns thoso caught
during the opon period Just closed
nnd aro sold nt a smaller price. Tho
fishing on Itogup will stop sometime
In tho month of Octobor.
All Mndo Money
Tho fishermen havo had a flno
year nnd thoy all havo monoy. Thoro
Is not a place In Oregon whoro tho
working man is any better shapo
than right hero. During the month
of August tho twonty-flvo men who
worked on tho solno received an nv
orngo wage of $11 a day. Next to
tho last day of fishing thoy mado
each $30 for their day's work.
Shortage of Cuiih
An oven larger pnclc could havo
been put up had It not beou for tho
shortago of cans. Tho factory mak
ing cans produces only undor orders
and as all of tho salmon fishing plac
es have had good runs there has been
a great demand for cans so that tho
factories havo worked night nnd day.
The last consignment of enns for
tho Wcddorburn Compnny camo on
tho Hustler. At that timo thoro
wore 1,700 fish on tho floor of tho
dannory. Thoro was n heavy !fog
and tho Itustlcr was Just outside
with u cargo of needed cans. Tho
fog lifted about fifteen minutes, en
ough for Captain 1'ctor Olson to got
soiiio idea of where tho bar was lo
cated and ho put tho Kustlor through
and then tho factory worked until
every thing was put up.
On tho last day thoro was nn ex
cess of fish nnd these wero handled
by Baiting and will be sold ns salt
flalmon. Tho fishermen mado an ex
tra haul for themselves nnd thoso
who live horo put down a supply of
salmon for their own uso.
Profitable Work
Tho men on the big solno nil work
together. Tho company payB CO
cents for each fish caught and fur
nishes tho seluu which Is operated
under tho direction of n forcmnn.
Tho money Is then dlvldod between
tho men and ns already stated tho
average wago in August per day for
each ninn was $n. This gives many
of tho men sufficient funds to car
ry thorn through tho winter Benson

Three Cigarette Faults
to Avoid
First, avoid cigarettes that
don't just suit your own taste.
Second, avoid thoso that
bother your throat or tongue.
Third, avoid those that
make you "feel mean" after
smoking all you want.
If Fatimas, .'or instance,
seem to you to be guilty on
anyone of those three counts,
we say, avoid Fatimas.

That's one reason why you
should try them.
Another reason is because
they ore so SENSIBLE so
