Women who do much housework
often find their hands and fingers be
coming stiff and therefore awkward.
Perfectly limber wrists and fingers can
never look awkward, and their owner
will never be at a Ios$ what to do with ,
her hands. . j
Certain simple exercises. In the nower
of the busiest woman to perform, will i
prevent the stiffening process and
even stop it after it has set in. The '
first is that movement of the arms
which sets free the shoulder muscles.
Stand erect, with the muscles of your
hands, arms and shoulders as limber
as possible. Then raise your arms,
palms upward, to a level with your
shoulders and stretch them as far as
yon can outward on each side of vou.
Think of yourself as trying to tear
your arms and shoulders away from
your backbone, and you will get the
Idea. Do this rapidly a dozen times at
least once a day.
Delsartean exercises of the kind call
ed "devitalizing" will free the hands,
wrists and arms below the elbow.
For these, stand erect as before. Hold i
your hands np in front of you like the
fore legs of a kangaroo. Now, by an
effort of your will pull ail sensation
and consciousness out of fingers, hands

and fort arm, ami let them be us life
less and limber as if yon did not pos
ess them. Then, uslmr onlv the mua
cies from the e!lHw downward, shake
your hands mid tinkers violently, as
though you were try in a to shake Tour
fingers loose, and let them fly off Into
me air. Ttiis la done with a wrist mo
tionforward, back and from aids t
side, revolving the fore arm for the
purpose.
Such shaking, practiced once day
for a few minutes and persisted in, will
make 11 the and nimble and graceful
any woman's fingers and wrists. An
other good finger exercise is to stretch
the arms out right and left from the
shoulders as far as possible, then
spread the fingers as far apart as you
can at me Knuckici, in ami out in and

When Miss Jenklus. after sneiidhiu
fifty-six years in the city of her birth,
aecwea to Duy a small farm in the
country she determined to tulaa none of

"I'm going to have a steady horse and

proudly displayed her new property.
"The Adams boy from the uext house

drive the cows and milk and teach me
how to harness, and of course I shall
feed the hens and the little pig."
"The little pig!" echoed her brother.

Care of tha Hands.
No matter how rough the work a wo
man does, it is possible to keep her
hands nice looking. Wherever she can
she should wear gloves while doing the
roughest and heaviest work.
One of the main points in taking care
of the bands Is to keep them clean.
when a manicure operates on the noils
the first thing she does Is to soak the
nngers in warm soapy water. This Is
an excellent plan unless the hands are
already shriveled and rough from hav
ing been working lu water. But In ev
ery, case a brisk rub with a hand scrub
bing brush Is one of the best means of
making clean, pretty hands. Just u
small scrubbing brush that usually
costs 6 cents is as good a finger and
nail brush as is made, and it can be
kept handy In the kitchen.

FACTS ABOUT ASTORIA AND ITS INDUSTRIES
, Astoria today Is a bustling, cosmo
politan city of 15,000 people. Its popu
lation represents almost every nation
ality on earth, in consequence of which
it Is a lively center of business activity.
Its advantageous location at the mouth
ef the great Columbia river makes it
the trade mart of the vast productive
region of northwester! Oregon and
southwestern Washington, and It Is the
supply point for fully 25,000 people. It
Is Oregon's second city In size and Im
portance.
The estimate of population here
given Is conservative. The 1900 gov
ernment census accredited the city
with about 9000 people, but tha launch
fng of new enterprises, together with
the natural growth, has added many
"Hundreds to the population in the past
live years. Failure to develop local re
sources has resulted In slow growth,
hut a new era of commercial activit)
is dawning and the prospects for the
city's future are very bright. '
On Us magnificent location anl won
derful natural advantages Astoria
bases its expectations of future great
ness. Situated on the only fresh-water
harbor of Importance in the world,
with the broad ocean but 10 miles from
Its wharves, it enjoys marked advant
ages as a shipping center. The gravity
route of the Columbia river Is nature's
highway for the great Inland empire.
the immense product of which must be
exported from the ocean port. At As
toria the largest ships may find safe
moorings, and Its harbor will accom
modate all the shipping that may ever
eome to the northwest coast. It is
pre-eminently the Pacific slope port,
ss New York is the Atlantic port, and
must soon receive from the transcon
tinental railroads the recognition which
Its advantages Justify, as has New
York on the Atlantic coast.
Development of the lumbering In
rfustry will alone make Astoria great.
There are 75,000,000,000 feet of tibmer
standing In the forests near the city.
This vat timber supply is great
enough to keep In steady operation for
20 years 100 large mills, and to afford
employment during that period to 15,
t08 persons in the manufacturing
bringing logs to Astoria is light, mark- all. It Is the healthiest spot on earth.
ing this a most desirable point for the
manuiactuer or lumber. The advant
ages offered by this city a a milling
point are beginning to attract the at.
tention of mlllmen who desire to op
erate economically, and before long
Astoria will rank as the largest lum
bering producing port on the Pacific
coast.
The growth of the salmon industrv
will likewise prove of great benefit tc
Astoria By means of artificial propa
gation, this magnificent business has
come to stay. It will be built up, with
in a few years, to four times its present
magnitude, and will then mean more
thnn $10,000,000 annually to the city.
Several Alaskan salmon canneries are
owned and operated here and each
year bring large sums to their horn
office. The possibilities of Astoria as a
fishing port or center In other lines of
fishing Industries are also of great
importance, and the attention of capl
talists is called to this city as a d,?ep-
soa fishing center; also to the great
runs of genuine French sadrines which
come Into the river by the hundreds of
billions every year.
The lower Columbia river district,
with its mild climate, offers unsur
passed Inducements tn fl;ilrvrrn.n farm.
Astoria wants more people. Its na
tural resources will easjly support
from 250,000 to 500,000 population, yet
there are only 15,000 people here to
reap the benefits that nature has so
generously placed at their disposal.
The homeseeker will find no better
place to locate, and few equal places
Labor Is always in demand, at the
highest wages, and there Is much en
couragement for the man who wishes
to engage In business. Strangers often
remark the uniform courtesy of the
people and the general effort on the
part of Astorians to make mutters
pleasant for visitors. The home-seek
er or Investor, who falls to visit Astoria
will make a great mistake, for no other
community In the Pacific northwest
offers such opportunities as the lower
Columbia river district.
Astoria has a $300,000 gravity water
system, a paid fire department, first-
class street car service, gon and elec
tric lighting systems, free public li
brary, unexcelled transportation facili
ties, complete school system, 40 civic
societies, three dally and six weekly
newspapers, excellent telegraph, an
telephone service, three banks carry
ing deposits of about $2,000,000, two ex.
press offices, first-class theaters, 14
are six large school buildings here.
The si-IhkjIh are conveniently located In
all sections of the city, and In every
respect are modem In their appoint
ments. Well-appointed schools are to
be found throughout the county, and
children living on farms and In vil
lages enjoy educational advantages al
most equal to thos,. afforded city chil
dren.

Astoria Is extensive enough to supply
the needs of 100,000 people, besides af
fording fire protection to all parts of
the city.
The Lumbering Industry,
The mouth of the Columbia river
has the greatest body of timber tribu
tary and available of any point In the
world.
The lumbering business is 'the Inrg
est In the Pacific northwest; It out
ranks In value of product any other
line. Production of wheat Is a close
second, being worth $17,000,000 a year,
while the value of the lumber output
is $18,000,000. Coal, gold and sllver.(
fruit, cattle and sheep, wool and fish,
all of which are produced In great
abundance, fall far below, nor hardly
equal Jn the aggregate, the wealth de.
rived from the forests. The town,
therefore, that commands the greatest
resources available of fine Umber musi

timber will not decrease, but become
greater with every year.

Mills and Manufaoturirtq.
Although manufacturing Is as yet' In
Its Infamy In Astoria, more than 4300
persons are employed In the Institu
tions now doing business here. The
salmon Industry emplnyti by far the
greatest number of persons, but the
seasons extend over a period of only
about six months, and at other times
those engaging In It follow other lines
of pursuit. The lumbering Industry,
Including box factories, barrel factor
ies, etc., Is rapidly assuming prnpor.
tlons, and will, within a few years, out
rank the fishing Interests.
Astoria wants more manufacturing
concerns, and offers the very best in
ducement to capitalists. Here are to
be found unexcelled sites, with the ad
vantage of both rail and water connec
tions, and the Intending Investor In
western properties should look over the
Astoria situation. Kites can be secured
at very low prices.
More than $3,000,000 Is Invested In
manufacturing plants here, while the
value of the yearly product exceeds
$6,500,000. In all, 4341 persons are em
ployed, receiving annual wages' that
aggregate $2,059,600.
Salmon Industry, ' .
Astoria owes Its existence largely to
the great salmon Industry of which It
Is the center. Year after year the Co.
luinbla river has given up Its wealth
of fish, and In the past 25 years has
yielded $75,000,000, nearly all of which
has been placed In circulation In this
city. Where other crops have failed,
the salmon supply has maltnained Its
average of production, and In this re
spect can be classed as one of Oregon's
