The knowledge is comforting, since, for all time the dubiously mooted issue is tettled and we have no cause to ever raise it again. That it is peculiarly favor able to us in the matter of granting its control of valuable seining grounds heretofore contested and invaded, is also a point of gratula tion and gratification.

There is no pleasure in this writing; yet a warning hint is the leasj we can offer in this ugly premise, and we hope it may serve jts purpose, without the necessity for an open, candid illustration which we shall surely make if there is not a radical change in the public policies now on foot!

Surely the sincerity of this letter should strongly appeal to those who desire to escape the bond age in which they are now held by that ruthless and most powerful wrecker of health and happiness: Catarrh, Santa Rosa, Cal., May 5. 1908.: Booth's Hyomei Co., Buffalo! N. Y, Dear Sirs? Some years ago I was afflicted with catarrh, and tried a number of remedies, . but . received no relief. I was told by a friend who had been using your Hyomei, and thought I would receive a great benefit and perhaps a cure. I pur chased an outfit, and before I had used the bottle I noted a marked re lief. I used it for a month or so, and thought I was cured, and stopped using it for a year or so. Thought I was getting catarrh again, and start ed using it again, and I kept it in the house and use it every morning once a day, and. keen mvself clear of catarrh. I consider it the best catarrh medicine that is used. I have often recommended it to ray friends. I am 81 years old. I came to Cali fornia in 1849, and of course am not as vigorous as I was 58 years ago. My address is 841 Fourth street. Yours truly, W. Jrfock. . , Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is guaranteea by T.

Captain Brown was in charge of the craft, while the Master Fish Warden, II. C. McAl lister,' and his chief deputy, Mr, Mack, with Deputy Brown, consti tuted the reception committee in the pleasant premise. In a very neat and appropriate address President Scholfield turned over the pretty and serviceable em blem, which was of the finest bunt ing, in ( red and white, three feet wide by six feet in length, and which was sent up to the masthead on the instant. Warden McAllister had completed his equally appropriate speech of acknowledgment for the gift, pledging the service of the fine little department boat to the honest and just administration of the laws under which she will operate. For the purposes of demonstration as to the power, the facile handling and ready despatch of the "Astoria, a trip was made to the lower harbor, including a run around Sand Island and Desdemona Sands, the property just acquired in fee and perpetuity by the State of Oregon, according to the terms of the decision handed down by the United States supreme court, on Monday last; and the trip was immensely enjoyed by all con cerned, until the ,full sweep of the ocean winds and the accompanying seas caught her squarely on the weather board as she rounded the Desdemona Sands. Then the froth and spume and other things began to fly, and Messrs. Mack and Brown were most ardently begged to "smooth things up a bit," and get the valiant little vessel on an even keel and headed for home. She was flirting delightedly with the in-roll ing surf, ducking, and delving, , and rolling and pitching to her keel's content and showing just what real crackerjack she was; all of which her passengers were more than willing to concede, along with cer tain other concessions intermittent ly made. , However, she was soon straight ened out on the home-run and made to behave herself as became the ve hide for so much dignity and pomi larity, and, snapping her brand new pennat in the 1 50-mile gale that swept her up the bay, she was soon at her berth again and the pale sex tette landed, safe and sound, and extremely glad to feel the solid gangway beneath their feet. . The ("Astoria" behaved beautiful ly , throughout the run, , and " gave her guests a pretty distinct idea of what her officers have to go through with in the course of their duties, in even lesser craft than she.- Warden.
