The Grip. '
"Before wo can sympathise with oth
era, we must bare suffered ourselves."
Xo one can real tie the suffering attend
ant upon an a tack of the grip, unless he
has bsd the actual experience. There
la probably bo disease that causes so
much physical and mental agony, or
which so successfully defies medical aid.
All danger from the grip, however, may
ba avoided by the prompt use of
Cbamberkin's Cough Remedy. Among
the tens of thousands who bars used
this remedy, not on cao has ever been
reported that has resulted in pneumonia
or that baa not recovered. For ssle by
Frank Hsrt, and leading druggists.

There is general alarm felt at Fort
land and the Sound cities over the re
port that the steamship City of Puebla
from Seattle for Sa FrancUco, hss
been reported st hsr port of departure
'as in crippled condition, with her
shaft broken, off tbe Columbia river bar
oa Saturday evening." Inquiry here
among pilots and shipping men, yes
terday reveals no uch news ia posses-
ion of anyone. She was not een off
this bar and the matter Is pure news
hero as it wss at Seattle, and in Tori
land. If she was ia such stress at that
time, and place he has probably drift
ed to the north and will be picked up
somewhere near the Straits of Fuoa, if
he has not already been reported.
The pile-driving ateamer J. A. Mon
me underwent her first official inpee
tion here veiterday as a steamer. She
paued KUcceMfully in every particular,
and is in a flats all by herself in this
port. She is seventy eight feet long,
twenty foot beam, and her pile-driving
and propelling power ia supplied by I
double cyliader engine, nine by ten inch
es in diameter, with mutual gearing at
tached. lKr machinery was built by
tbe Washington Iron Works at Seattle
and she make- from four o sis miles
sa hour under beadwsy, and can drive
pilea nearly as fast. She handles well
under all circumstances, and ia Well
handled by Captain J. A. Monroe. She
ia owned by John and J. A. Mon
