Those who have enjoyed the' bttsa ot J Hammond Lumber Compafiy to seasickness will readily understand that It is not calculated to add to the senti ment of even the most devoted lover. So. when Thursday night came and the barometer continued to frown Its me teorological warning, It was determin ed that the sea trip should be aban doned. The prospects of seasickness. with Its don't-care feeling, was not at all pleasing, so It was decided that the wedding should take place on dry land. Accordingly County Judge Trenc'.i- ard was called In, after the necessary marriage license had been secured, and at the parlors of the Parker house the judge tied the nuptial knot.

McLean exacted from her a promise to become his wife the young lady discerned an opportunity to re alise a fond dream. She had contenv ( plated the bliss of marriage at sea, and the ardent wooer consented to her proposal that they be wedded on the ocean. Hale is a little town some 15 or 20 miles west of Eugene. If for no other reason, it is entitled to dis tinction for having produced two de cidedly pretty girls Miss Smith and her sister. Miss Myrtle. Mr. McLean, the other principal, resides at Eugene. Wednesday night the three arrived In Astoria, the lovers bent upon being Aarried at sea. The party came down the river on the Potter to the captain of which McLean confided his Inten tion. The captain suggested to him that he talk with the captain of on of the bar tugs, and McLean followed his advice.

It f first occurred to the clerk that Captain Bryne, of the Mania nita, would gladly take the couple to the sea, but the Manxanlta had started for the light ship early Thursday morning, so this idea was abandoned. Then the clerk determined to consult Captain Bailey, of the bar tug Tatoosh. The Tatoosb la licensed to carry passengers and If the captain was willing all would be well. ' Thursday morning the groom-to-be and the hotel clerk hunted up Captain Bailey. , . .. "My ship's tied up for today," said Bailey, "but If you'll come around to morrow, I'll take you out and perform the ceremony." . So the anxious young man went back to the hotel and told his sweetheart that he had everything In shape. Mean time Captain Bailey hunted up a Bible, posted himself as to formality and then proceeded to take treatment for nerv ousness. He was unmistakably rattled when he confided to a reporter that he was to marry the couple, and the reporter was too tactful to tell him he did not believe him when Bailey relat ed a story to the effect that he had married many couples. Now, this thing of being married at sea is all very, nice if the weather is fine. If, however, the storm king Is roving, and the waves are rolling mountain high, romance is quite apt to be eliminated from the proceedings.
