PERSONAL MENTION
H. J. Mackin left yesterday morn
ing for Portland, where he will take
charge of the Tongue Point Lumber
Company's sales office, recently
opened in the metropolis.
John Finley, the well-known Port
land timberman, is in the city on
business. He reports the outlook
bright, but at present the trade is
not very brisk.
Sam Ness, the Prosper cannery
man, who has spent ten days making
preparations for the coming season,
returned on the Breakwater Sunday.
Will H. Sellwood and I. L. Adams,
two progressive and successful
young cranberry ranchers of Long
Beach, passed through the city yes
terday eveinng, en route to Portland.
L. R. Robinson, general agent for
the Wabash system, was a business
visitor in this city yesterday.
Phillip Stokes was in the city yes
terday on matters of busness, and
incidentally greeting his host of
friends hereabout.
H. O. Spears of Knappa was in
the city yesterday on matters of
business and reports his section
swinging right ahead and building
up steadily.
W. S. Swain, a capitalist of Spo
kane, was an over Stfnday visitor
in this city and was domciled at the

so scores of the younger unmarried
officers regarded the opportunity to
see something of the world with keen
est appreiatton. Many of the older
officers, however, who have been in
all the ports to be visited and whose
families are left behind for many
months to come, felt differently.
Many were heard to express the hope
that they might receive shore duty
upon arrival at San Francisco.
Not a single note of doubt from
flag officers to ordinary seaman was
heard regarding the certain success
of such an undertaking. Interviews
with Commanding officers sent out,
the result was nothing but the most
sanguine certitude of success. The
two months interim between arrival
and departure at San Francisco was
gratifying to many, as it will afford
them an opportunity to be rejoined
by their relatives before their depart
ure on the long cruise.

appointment of Dr. D. J. Hill as am

Steinberg called at the White House

of D. D. D. Prescription, the wonder

Eczema and other similar diseases

"I have been using your D. D. D.
