A couple of days ago she covered the run from I in Italia river to Salmon river, a distance ol four mile, in 0 1-2 minutes This is a little faster than the average passenger cares to travel, but, assisted by the swilt current, the sped is not realized, except one throws a glance atlie fleeting bants which, at this particular part of the river are steep and well defined.

Last winter a Topcka sts'iety lady wanted to get rid of an old parrot which she owned. It had only one tailfeather. but possessed an extensive vocabulary of choice cuss words. A bright idea struck her. She was hostess for a card party one day, and she gave the parrot as the booby prize. The woman who won it took it home, and bided her time. It soon came her time to entertain the club and furnish the prize She gave the parrot as the booby prize, too. From that time on the parrot became the booby prize, and made the rounds of most of the homes of the women Finally the woman who originated the idea won the booby prize the other day, and carried home the old bird. The parrot, recognized his for mer home, blinked his eyes several times, and then with disgust said: "Oh, hell; the kitchen's as dirty as ever." STOKES CO. osiery Sale ! a. m. PAIR. HOSE 10 YEARS WORK Several Miles of County Roid Constructed in the County. FARMING SECTIONS OPENED Large Tracts of Land to be Cut op Into Small Tracts for Agricultural Par poses Profits Accruing in Raising Onions and Small Vegetables, Cnless a person takes a trip over the several miles of new roads that have been constructed in Clatsop county during the past two years, they can form no idea of th vast amount of beneficial work that has been done and the large area of agri cultural and grazing lands that have Wen ened for settlement. Within a radius of ten miles, in a semi-circle, good road" have Wn built to a distance of three miles south of Olney direct from Astoria; to Tucker creek and the Lewis and Clark! to Seaside and to a distance of nearly 12 miles south of Seaside opening up sonic of the rlne-t agricultural and dairying land to le found anywhere on the coast In the work, the county court has lecn avitfd by the enterprising farmers of Clatsop county. The district near Olney on Youngs River, Tucker ereek, lvi and Clurk and the Xeeanicuin now have aeeessable county roads to Astoria ovei which there will lie no trouble to haul the products of the farms. While Clatsop county has not filled up very rapidly with farmers during the past five years, the census reports show that these dis tricts have increased in the accession of farmers Farming in this vast district is yet in its infancy, but with the building of county roads it will be stimulated and within the next two years it is expected that this district will be able to supply the Astoria market with all the farm products used, and possibly leave a sur plus for shipment to Portland. In what little advertisement Clatsop county has received by commercial or ganizations, there has been practically nothing said about the farming oppor tunities of the county, possibly for the reason, that the farming lands were cut off from the markets for the want of good roads. Everything advertised has been the salmon and timber resources. This has been productive of no good and has been a waste of money. There are all the salmon canneries and cold storage plants on the Columbia river that are re quired for the product. There are all the logging camps necessary to supply the demand for logs, and it is not necessary to advertise these resources What Clat- sop county wants and must have, is farmers. Commissioner Clarke stated to an Astorian representative yesterday, that he was acquainted with a man in Wash ington county that made 10,000 last year from raising onions alone. Commis sioner La r sen stated that he knew a man in HillsWo that made $4,000 clear last year off from one acre in raising onions. There is not a fanner near any of the large cities in Oregon and Washington, that is not making a small fortune every year raising small vegetables. Even the Chinamen of Astoria are muking money every year from their vegetable gardens, and over (10,000 was sent by these men to China last year through the local banks. If the Chinamen can make money raising vegetables, why cannot the white farmers make money? There are a large number of young men in Astoria just starting out in life who seem to prefer the excitement and temptations of city life to the large pro fits and fortune acrtiing from farming life. If they work twenty years in Asto ria in the employment of someone else nine out of ten won't have money enough at the expiration of ten years to buy a new suit of clothes, whereas, were they to purchase five acres of land and cultivate it, inside of ten years they would have a good home and a few thous and dollars in the banks. It is claimed by some that the pro ductive lands in Clatsop county sell for from $50 to $100 an acre and that they can not afford to buy. If an acre of land will yield a net profit of $2,000 a year in gardening, which experience has dem onstrated it will do, the hinds are cheap at that prir-e. There is no lietter invest ment in Clatsop county than in five-acre tracts of land devoted to gardening. Clatsop county lands have been known to yield a net profit of $VH an acre in rais ing potatoes alone. There is not a farm product known that will not grow and yield abundently in Clatsop county, and the wonder is that more young men do not go to small farming instead of work ing on small salaries with their wash- VARSITY The accompanying cut shows one of our varsity sacks with a full broad shoul der; body titting and vented scams.

Stokes Keeps a Dressy Shop for Dressy Men. securing the cultivation of farming lands it will be of more benefit to the city and county than all the manufacturing in- ustries that can be secured, and when the farming industry is built up the man ufacturing industries will come of their own volition. Thousands of dollars have been wasted in advertising in worthless publications and not one single manufac turer, or one single farmer has been brought to Astoria during the past five years. It is time to adopt modern meth ods and work to build up the natural THE MONTH OF JUNE gives everybody a chance to array themselves in WHITE AND LIGHT C0L0KED DRESSES.
