Boat Once a Month.
John Lindstrom, Mayor of Aberdeen,
is negotiating for the steam schooner
Toledo for service between Portland
and Gray's Harbor. It is proposed to
make a round trip each week to points
on the harbor and once a mouth to
send the steamer down to Alsea and
Yaquina Bay. The Toledo was built
last year and is a first class coaster
but has not been able to find an opening
on any of the lower runs. A. Fay of
San Francisco, a part owner in the
steamer, was making inquiries yester
day for a master for the oraft. Several
years ago there was profitable business
for a steamer between Portland and the
harbor, but the building of the North'
ern Pacific extension killed it off. It
is thought that the heavy travel in the
West this summer on account of the
Fair will enable a steamer on this route
to do a paying business. Oregonian,

Captain R. A. Bensell of Newport was
a Toledo visitor yesterday. Mr. Ben

with the result that a number of east

for winter use. The climate the year
through is about the best to be found
a fact which travelers aud homeseekers
are learniug.
Newport will experience
quite a grow th this summer, and tho
season promises to be the best in its

That Awful Bear Fight.
Tbe Leader noted last week that
Owen Beam captured a little bear cub
on his farm on the Siletz and took it to
Albany. While in Toledo Owen, ably
supported by Johnny Wells, related
the story of the capture of that cub,
ith many interesting details. They
told how the mamma bear stood up and
sberoicHlly battled with the abductors
of her little black baby ; how they
the abductors pulled their trusty five-
pistols and filled Mrs. Bruin's head full
of lead or would haye filled it full of
lead, bat the bullets all glanced off
without doing serious damage. How
ever, the fusillade caused the shereic
mother to lose her nerve, and she fin
ally took to the brush and left Messrs.
Beam and Wells in possession of the
gory battlefield ana also her baby.
There was a pair of the cubB when the
fight began, but in the scrimmage tbe
mother accidentally sat upou one of
her infants and killed it. All this, dear
reader, seems to have been a dream, or
a nightmare. At any rale, Oscar Wood
of Siletz says he sold Owen Beam a
little bear cub for the insignificant sum
of to so we are informed. Next!

How to Stay Young.
How old are you? Tbe adage says
that women are as old as they look, and
men as old as they feel. Thai's wrong.
A man aud woman are as old as they
take themselves to be.
Grow ing old is largely a habit of the
mind. "As a man thiuketh in his heart,
so is he." If he begins shortly after
middle age to imagine himself growing
old he will be old.
To keep one's self from decreptitude
is somewhat a roatur of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs on to life with both hands. He
who lets go will go. Death is slow only
to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce do Leon searched in the wrong
place for the fountain of youth. It is
in one's self. Orie must keep one's self
young inside. So Unit while "the outer
man perisheth, the inner man is re
newed day by day."
When the human mind ceases to exert
itself, when there is no longer an active
interest in the affairs of this life, when
the human stops reading uud thinking
aud doiui?, the man, like a blasted true,
begins to die at the top.
I You are as old as you think you arc.
I Keep the harness 011. Your job is not

Dated at Toledo, Or., this 10th day of
March, 1005.
Tbe Portland market is bare of broil
ers, with the price at 25 to 50 cents. A
little three-months-old chicken deliv
ered tliere brings a Halt dollar, aud is
snatched from the coop by buyers with
such a demand thai there, is no supply.
The wonder is that effort is not made
to meet this demand. Nothing turns
into money so quickly, or apparently
pays such a profit on the investment.
Corvallis Times.
How unsatisfactory the mail order
method Is. A man near here who got
his wife through the matriiuonial news
paper route is now asking ihe court to
grant him a divorce. It serves the poor
man right. He should have patronized
the home market aud he would have
known what he was getting. Never send
away for anything when you cau got
the fame article at homo, and there is
less possibility of getting cheated.

Day to Honor Heroine.
July 6 has been selected as Sacajawea
and Order of Red Men day at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. Ou this date
the bronze statue of Sacajawea will be
unveiled with formal ceremonies. The
Sacajawea Statue Association will share
the honors of the day with the Order
of Red Men in giving due recognition
to the neglocted heroino. The exer
cises will ho uttended by many noted
women who will come to attend the
National Woman's Suffrage convention
and the National Association of Chari
ties and Corrections, which will be held
at that time. In order to participate in
the ceremonies, the Order of Red Men
changed their day at the Fair from
July 20. A feature of the exercises
will be the presence of several thou
sand school children each wearing a
buttou upon which is the likeness of
Sacajawea.
For the purpose of honoring a ne
glected heroine tho Sacajawea Statue
Association, composed of prominent
Oregon women, was formed some time
ago with Mrs. Eva Emery Dye as Presi
dent. The Association has raised the
money for the orection of tbe statue
and chosen the design. The statue was
executed by Miss Alice Cooper of Den
ver, Colorado, and presents a young
Indian woman with n papoose strapped
to her back. The girl pointing toward
the distant sea, her face radiant and
head tiirown back and eyes full of dar
ing. A short hunting skirt, made of
deer skins, aud.leggins, show a figure
full of tho buoyancy and animatiou of
youth. Tho statue is composed of Or
egon copper and cost $7,000.
Tho entire sum necessary for the in
stallation of this memorial has not
been raised, but contributions are being
solicited from women all over the coun
try, and it is expected that the total
amount will be subscribed to pay off all
indebtedness by the time the statue is
unveiled. Western women have been
eutlmsiastiu iu lendiDg their support
to this commendable movement. Tho
statue, which is the first ever erected
iu honor of an Indian woman, will oc
cupy a conspicuous position iu tho
center of Columbia Court, the central
plaza of tho Exposition, facing Lake
view Terrace, where are statues of
Lewis aud Clark.
Sacajawea was an Indian girl, a mem
ber of the Shoshone tribe, who joined
the Lewis and Clark expedition, which
crossed tbe mountains to the Pacific a
century ago, while tho party was in
midwinter quarters among the Mandau
Indians, iu what is now North Dakota.
Sacajawea was then the mother of a
young babe. She was tho ouly woman
on the expedition, aud shared with the
men the hardships of tho toilsome
journey across the continent. Sho was
tho friend of Captains Clark aud
Lewis and generally rode with them in
advance of the party, where her pres
ence sorvod to allay the suspicions of
the tribes tbrougli whose country they
passed. Ou two occasious sho saved
the lives of the party, pointing the road
when every oue else was lost aud starv
ation was staring the little baud in tho
face.
Sacsjawea accompanied the party
through its entire journeyings. llrr
husband, Charbunueau, was taken along
to act as guide aud interpreter. When
the expedition, on the return, trip,
reached the country of the Mauduus,
Charboiineau decided to slay there, and
his ever-fuithful wife remained with
him. It is presumed that she died
shortly afterwards.
It may be safely said that it it had
not been for this Indian girl, Lewis
aud Clark would probably never have
reached the Pacific. Tlie women of tho
country deserve groat credit for making
it possible for this heroine to share in
the honors of the explorers at the Ex
position commemorating the expedition
of a century ago.
