THE MORNING ASTORIAN. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY IP, 1902 R- Poor Way S " To Treat No one would be so foolish as to kindle the fire on top of a pot to make it boil, yet the treatment of Catarrh is often just as senseless and illogical. Douches, sprays, ointments, so-called tobacco cures, and various other applications, are diligently used, but the little good accomplished is swept away by the first breath of winter. When yon attempt to cure a .c-.s constitutional disease one affectrnsr the entire systemwith "GV purely local remedies, yon are applying the fire to the top of the pot, yon are doctoring symptoms, and, like thousands of others, get disappointing results. In Chronic Catarrh, the whole system becomes involved; the" entire mucous membrane, or inner covering of the body, is in a state of high inflamma tion. The pressure of blood upon the glands and cells produce excessive secretion of mucus, much of which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body. Iu this way the stomach, kidneys aud intestines are often seriously affected. The noseY throat and ears are most frequently attacked by this foul disease, because the mucous lining is exposed to the cold, damp air, which attracts the vitiated blood to the surface, causing congestion of the little blood vessels and glands, making breathing difficult and labored; the throat becomes parched and dry; the hot, watery discharge from the nose gradually changes to a yellowish color and becoming more profuse and tenacious, drops back into the throat, causing gagging and almost constant coughing to dislodge it ; This offensive discharge, in spite of all pre cautions, finds its way into the stomach, and extreme nausea and an obstinate form of dvsoerjsia. follow. Blinding headaches, neuralgia of the eyes and dizziness are ulso symptoms of th:? disease, and when the inflammation reaches the delicate mechanism of the ear, hearing is lost, and, as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned, the tissues and soft bones in the head are eaten out, greatly disfijgnring the face. At this stage of Catarrh the breath becomes insi? frer ably offensive. S. S. S. is the simplest and most effective treatment for Catarrh, ar.d vh.r. taken into the circulation reaches all parts of the system and cleanses the blood of all Catarrhal matter and restores it to a normal condition. When rich, new blood begins to now through the veins, the obstructed glands and broken down cells resume their rntr.n! functions, and the hot and inflamed healing fluid that quickly' brings relief to the congested parts. S. S. S. puts the Liuuu w. such perfect condition and so strengthens and invigorates the general health that the locii mamiesiauons 01 tne disease gradually disappear, the .!; charge from the nose ceases, the head clears, ...breathing i becomes easy and natural, the appetite improves. a::c! a penect and permanent cure is eflectcd.

Wyetk First Real ized the Importance of 1 the Iudiutry. New England Grocer. Canned 'salmon may not be an object looked upon as an edible 'to quicken the appetite or tickle the palate of a gourmand, but as an article of com merce It ocuples a very conspicuous as well as Important place in the af fections of trades in nearly every por tion of the civilized globe As an Industry, too, the gaudy-colored tin of fl9b ranks high in the cen sus report, and the amount of money annually expended in wages In this one article of commerce mounts into the millions, and the armies of men and women employed in catching-, cur ing and preparing the fish for the markets of the world form a large proportion of the population in many sections of the great Northwest, All this may 'be commonplace enough, but wtoen it Is known that to the far-sighted enterprine, intrepid daring, Indomnitable energy and un conquerable perseverance of a Boston man the industry owes its Inception, birth and being', the facts assume con siderable more importance :callyT Not only was It a Boetonian who first saw the . possibilities of the Northiwest salmon fisheries, but It was 'Jue large ly to the liberality of local investors that the capital with which to de velop them was secured. Naithanlal J. Wyeth was the name of the gentleman who first discerned the importance that was llkelly to be the lot of the Columbia river fisheries, and It was as early certainly as 1830 that the plan of developing them had been worked out In his brain. What led him to the conclusion he reached is hard at hard at this time to de termine, since at that date very few persons, and those members of strong bands, made up of the hardiest arfd most adventurous trappers, had made the arduous Journey across the con tinent? to the Pacific, ) It is to be supposed,' however, that the Idea emanated from the. reports brought back to civilization by the survivors of John Jacob Astor's at tempt, under the leadership of Lewis and Clarke, to establish a trading post twenty years previous to Mr. Wyetb'a starting for the same place. These reports dealt at great length and some thoroughness with the almost Inex haustible supply of salmon in those waters, and the methods employed by the Indians of the section in captur ing them. Be that as it may, however, an ex pedition was organized here In Boston by Mr. Wyeth, and in 1831 the start for rhe Columbia was made. The head of the adventure was totally Inex perienced in plainscraft, nor was one of the 11 persons whom he collected about him a whit informed on such matters than himself. It was on his own resources entirely that Mr. Wyeth fitted out the enter prise, and later events showed that Ms entire fortune was up Into the scheme. The shrewdness of the man Is at once seen when It is said that it was part of his purpose to trade for the fish with the Indians, and when he and his party left St Louis, then an important trading post on the remote edge of civilization, In the summer of 1831, numerous pack horses, each heavily laden, formed a very pictur esque feature of the cavalcade he commanded. From this time on he encountered many difficulties and hardships, the latter of Euch magnitude as to be al most Inconceivable in these dnys of easy and luxurious travel. He had gone as far only as Port Independence when the first of these beset Mm In the desertion of three of the advent urous Bostonians whom he had enlist ed. Their spirits weakened before the real trails of the Journey had begun, and they returned to the Bay State metropolis, leaving Mr. Wyeth and his eight companions to continue the Journey to the coast These pushed on into the wilderness. traveling at times In the company of bands of trappers and traders sent out by the American or the Rocky Mountain fur companies, and at other times alone. Their experience of the plains was a serious handicap, but each member of the Intrepid band was learning constantly, and they bad not proceeded many weeks on the Jour ney before most of the men, and par ticularly the leader, were fairly well developed plainsmen. The most serious exploit of the en tire Journey, however, was encount ered while In the company of two bands of trappers, representatives of rival trading companies, and was due to the cruelty of a member of one 'of one of them, who wantonly slew a Blackfoot Indian who'' was advancing In' an apparently friendly manner. This occurrence precipitated a battle in which the Indians wore badly worsted. HOLDS THAT SnCITJH )S N'OT VIOLATION OF LAW. Philadelphia Judge Itules That a Man's Life Is His Own and Many Legally Be Taken. PHILADELPHIA. Feb, 15,-Herbert Wright of this city, has been arraign ed before Judge Arnold on the charge of taking laudanum with suicide In- ttent Wright pleaded "guilty to at tempting suicide, but not with Intent o kill myself." In dismissing the case Judge Arnold said he doubted 1f there Is such an offense In this country as attempting suicide. The law emanated, he said, from courts where there were kings and emperors who adopted the theory that It was wrong tor a man to kill himself and thus reduce the number of the king's subordinates. The Judge asserted that man's life be longed to himself and Ms Creator, and he did not know but that the man had the right, to kill himself If he so de-sired. TOWN OF SHAMAKA DESTROYED.

From this time until the coast was reached Mr. Wyeth and his hardy crew met with every hardship and dis aster that adversi'y could suggest, culminating when almost in sight of the Journey's end In the loss of a large portion of the trading stock which had been carried- with such care and at the expense of so large a degree of energy from far-off Bos ton. This calamity nappened while voyaging down one of the mountain waterways which flow from the moun tains to the Pacific. Nothing daunt ed, however, as much was saved as possible to rescue and the travjlers kept on, never losing sight of the one great idea which had brought them thither. It was when the Columbia was reached, however, that the Catastro phe that was worse than all that .iad gone before fell upon the gallant lead er of the enterprise. Broken by hard ships, worn by travel and well-nigh ill from care, the daring Wyeth must needs discover when the goal for which he had risked life, endured un told trials and staked a fortune had been reached that the capital he had invested was as good as thrown to the four winds of heaven. The goods and baubles from which he hoped so much and which had been guarded as a miser guards his gold, over 3000 miles of territory were ut terly worthless for the purpose for which they were Intended. The Indi ans did not want them and could not be tempted Into bartering; for them. This, It would appear, was thought to ie the end of the enterprise, as Wyeth and the seven members of his party later turned up at Vancouver and at that place the seven deserted. The after tale probably shows that this was the most fortunate thing that could have happened to the leader, since up to that time he seems to have wandered about the country aimless ly seeking anything that might come his way, but thrown on his own re sources the nature of the man at once made itself manifest. The same undaunted and undaunta ble courage which led him in the first place to undertake such a massive and problematical enterprise, point ed the way by which his fortunes might be mended, and the Intrepidity which had characterized him throug- The church Mosque, barracks and the treasury were destroyed.
