WHY SEND AWAY FOR
PORTLAND.' Aua. 3, -Despite
the (act that flour price on the
I Sound are a trillc .under those pre
vailing in Portlund, and the further
fact that there appear itmall chance
of a rcvivul of the flour trade with the
Orient with quitatioiu at the prcucitt
level, there U little likelihood of any
lowering of flour price here in the
near future. The market in firm and
the tendency in upward rather than
downward, A local milling company
fiflicial aid today:
"Present flour price were made
when wheat w "cllim, cvcral cent
under the (puliation that now rule,
and the trend of the wheat market
li upward, In the face of thee fact
there it little ground for the belief
that flour price may nhortl neck a
lower level.
"It i true that present trade with
the Far F.ant it a thing of small con
sequence, and the outlook on the
baU of present price I anything
flut encouraging, hut there is nothing
i to do but make the bent of the situa
tion, for it i he wheat market that
makes the flour market, and that i
anything but weak at this time.

Quaint Methods of the E?Hy Days ef
Nw England.
In the early days of the settlement of
New England the custom of sendiug
packages ly neighbors who Journeyed
to different parts of the country was
nn established one. Tho notebook of
Schoolmaster Joseph flawley of North
ampton, Mass.. when be started on a
trip to ISostou was filled with such
varied Items as: "Captain Partridge, u
dial and a dish kettle;" "Son Joseph,
speckled red ribbon, whistles, buckles
and fishhooks;" "A shilling worth of
plumb and spice;" "Two psalters, a Im
son and a quart pot." In "Old Paths
and legends of the New ICuglaud Bor
der" Katharine M. Abbott, says that It
was the same even as late as Judge
Lyman's day. Ills daughter, Mrs.
Lesley, writes of It In "Recollections of
My Mother:"
There were no expresses then, and
so when It was known lu the village
of Northampton that Judge and Mrs
Lyman were going to Roston-and they
always took pains to make It known
a tbroug of neighbors were coming In
tho whole eveniug before not only to
take an affectionate leave, but to bring
parcels of every size nud shape and
commissions of every variety.
One came with a dress she wanted
to send to a daughter at school; one
brought patterns of dry goods, with a
request that Mrs. Lyman would pur
chase and bring home dresses for a
family of five. And would she go to
the orphan asylum and see If a good
child of ten could be bound out to an
other neighbor? Would Mrs. Lyman
bring the child back with her?
Tho neighbors walked Into the li
brary, where the packing was, going
on, and when all the family trunks
were filled my father called out heart
ily, "Here, Hiram, bring down another
trunk from the garret the largest you
can find to hold all these parcels!"
A little boy came timidly In with a
bundle nearly as large as himself, and
"Would this be too large for Mrs. Ly
man to carry to grandmother?"
"No. Indeed. Tell your mother I'll
carry anything short of a cooking
stove."
"Another trunk, Hiram," said my fa
ther, "and ask the driver to wait five
minutes."
Those were the times when people
could wait five minutes for a family so
well known and beloved. Our driver
had only to whip up his horses a little
faster.

dropsy, dibaetes and Bright's disease
follow in merciless succession. Don't
neglect your kidneys. Cure the kid

edy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which has
cured people right here in Astoria.
D. E. Duncan, who resides at the
corner of Duane and Ninth streets,
Astoria, Ore., says: "I had been
troubled with a weakness of the back
and loins often extending through the
whole muscular system as far up as
the shoulders. Not only did my back
ache but there was a weakness from
the kidney secretions which was very
annoying and disturbed my rest. I
heard ibout Doan's Kidney Pills
procured a box at Charles Rogers &
Son's drug store, and used them.
After' the first few closes I felt bet
ter and continued their use until
cured. I knew of others who have
used Doan's Kidney Pills with the
same good results."
