Now a great many of those who are etili bitter as a result of the recent (tray are saying that as the Furnish taea evidently Imagine that they Jure - the "whole thing," it might ,be no baa echeme to leave them to win we cam caiKU dt themselves.

To an ordinary man it would seem that tbe friends of Mr., Furnish, If they have any hopes whatever of carrying Marlon County in bis inter est, would show every consideration for the friends of' Mr. Oeer. Instead of doing this, however, they seem to be leaving no stone unturned to fur ther antagonise many of us who are not too well pleased and if these tac tics are followed a little further there is no doubt that while the rank and file of the ticket in Marion County will be loyally supported, the name of Furnish on the ballots will be scratch ed by at least hajf the , Republican voters- of Marion, which, of . course. will render certain his already proba- dis aereat'-' .; ; , OPEN SEASON FOR SALMON , Tbe open "season lor salmon fishing began last night at 12 o clock, and U the manner in which salmon were ii brought down the river from Oregon ( City this morning is any indication ' the market will be well supplied with fish for the next four months. A large crowd was at the wharf this morning when the lone arrived from Oregon City. As her freight was be ing unloaded it was soon evident that the fishermen in that vicinity bad not been idle last night The shipment consisted of 40 boxes of 200 pounds each, or four tons, not to seor anything about the loose fish which were not packed. In addition to this catch about fight additional tons came in oh the cars from Oregon City. ' ', . - , Nearly -altlie-flsh brought down jrur h iue umnouK specie, me cnoic ,jeet of all salmon, which tipped the scales all the way from 25 to 40 pounds. There were also severed boxes of steel heads, which weighed from 10 to 15 pounds. v.vv v-i,. ;::--'" :-ff Asked If this large amount would be brought here regularly every morning, one of the fishermen replied: ?The firs day we always make the biggest catch. Of course, I don't meat that we have been fishing three or four days in advance of the open season, bat for some inexplalntjble reason fish are always more easily caught the first day than at any other time. Our first day's work is not; all here yet Several Oregon i City people did not ship today, . One. man I know has 15 boxes be didn't send down and I know "several others who hwre smaller Quan tities that wlU be sent here later." v The fishermen say that salmon are plentiful this year in both the Willam ette and Clackamas. They fish with v gill nets, and do most of their work at ' night The prices being paid for them , here range from 5 to 6 cents a pound. - Not enough sctmon are running In the Upper Columbia at present to Justi fy the opening of McGowan's and War ren's canneries at Celilo, and all fish . caught there until about May 15, when ihey usually become plentiful, will be shipped to Portland. , , HAVE BROUGHT FORTUNES. ; Famous ; One-Act Plays That Have 7 . Achieved Great Success. Perhaps no one-set play has. brought Its author a richer harvest than has the ' celebrated farce known to all EngUsh Ipeaklng playgoers throughout the world . as "Box and Cox," This clever little piece has. produced many thousands of pounds In the. shape of acting fees, and although its duration is little more than half au hour It has earned ten times as : much money as scores of plays more than triple its length. ,,j Another'one-aet play which haa led Its ,,..uu4 an lw ihdiu ana torcune is Mr. Henry Arthur Jones' ; "Clerical Error,' -Until the production of this pathetic lit- , tie drama by Mr. Wilson Barrett Its kml ented progenitor was unknown to theatrl est audiences, but the success of the piece ; was so great that Mr.. Jon?s was eneou aged to make further effort In "a mora elaborate direction. The resul t was "The Stiver King.r which ha wrote In coliab oration with another; dramatist, ' end .Which placed him at one bound among (he foremost of English playwrights. . .

'Why don't you get ;your husband -to give you dla mondaT But I've always. thought that if the day ever came when- it wouldn't be good taste to wear diamonds It would be better : to have the pearls.

' . 8amoan Tongue. ." Lovers of the writings of Robert Louis Stevenson will be interested to see an ar ticle on tbe Samoa of his day by bis step daughter, Mrs. Btrong, IH the Century, from which we'tafce this odd bit:' . "The native dictionary Is interesting in the light It casts upon the 8amoan char acter. - I find 'an impossibility? such -as an old man getting a, young wife.' An other word means 'to beg deliriously for fishhooks.' 'Unwelcome' Is given, 'such as a Visiting party that is accompanied by tieitner a'handaom man hor a pretty aiald. - The -definition of 'widow.' or wid owei1,' is synonymous . with ' detached shellfish. " "There are also definitions that (how considerable -thought, and irony. 'Mean ness.' for Instance, can go no further than 'to climb out "pf your, own bread fruit tree' and steal your neighbor's fruit.! 'Faapuatama; like a trumpet blown by wild . lads blown ' anywhere and at all times; so conduct without consideration.' 'Popoga, to look owl-eyed, as a person starving when food: or property 'i being divided.' 'Good, brown earth' describes an, honest, unpretending man. To show how difficult ; thej lahguage is for the stranger, I may say that the little word 'ta' means X, we two, to beatjwlth a stick, to play on a musical Instrument, to reprove, to tattoo, to open, a veil, to bait a cannon, to wash clothing by beat ing, and to turn a someraault" THOUGHTS ON ADVERTISING Tour advertising pays only when , It pays people to trade at your place of business. Printer's Ink. J A , A portion of fhe publie may read street ear cards: some of them may read post ers and handbills; but the mass of the great .- buying ' publl reads the news papers. It is safest ta chronicle ad news along with all other news of the World In the . colifmns of the newspaper. St Louis Ad-Writer.- Multiplication of worda increases the expense and decreases, the effectiveness of advertising. ., Say what you have to say in as few words as it can be said then stop By so doing you can set what you have to sar in larger type, so that It will, comniand the attention of more readers than would a wordy-discourse set in small type. That, advertising Is, most .effective Which attracts tbe eye and appeala to the brain. Strong adjectives may be as much out of taste, tn an advertisement as in a bit of more aspiring literature. Exagger ation is always to be avoided. People nowadays demand sincerity In all mat ters of buslneast.lt is obesrvable that the big and successful advertisers are most careful as to their statements of fact. They , realize that Confidence Is the keystone- in? the arch of trade- Their suc cess came, of their jealous regard for their work.

' i A goose differs from a duck lit that it lives for a long1 time, and If undisturbed it will continue to frequent the same part of the country Winter after Winter. It L no longer possible to kill quantities at geese in Texas by simple, pass shooting,' or digging pits on the Gulf sandbars.,- ?- ; There died not long ago in the Nueces region a Mexican poacher - named Ore gorio who In the Winter sold geese by the dosen when other men Could not get a feather. A?1 of that country is In yast pastures fenced , by barbed wire, , and Qregorto, being a market hunter, was ordered to stay ourof them all, . ' ; In order. W,. keep him out ; the gates, which are far apart, were locked, and only the' ranob bosses ' had .keys. - Still Oregorio. would .continue . to go from pasture to pasture, covering 30 miles In a day and to show up Jn porpu Chrtstl or Rockport at night with- Canada geese hanging to hla saddle and atrung all over him. . , M One day an overseer of cowboys saw htm a mile away on the prairie, and, be ing curious, dismounted and -watched him.

He gathered up five or six, then rods to the division fence a jjuarter-miie away. Evidently it was his intention to enter the next pasture, The fence was Of three strands, of wire, the lowest one two feet from the , ground- Oregorio got down front the saddle and at a word from-him the horse sunk to his knees, "then turned upon hie side. Oregorio took, him by the headstall and puled his uhead . under the fence,, then took him by the tall and pulled bis hind quarters under, and so. pulling . first bead and theii at tall, worked him through. . . Onoe clear of the bottom wire, the pony rose, shoke himself, and stood to' be mounted aa if nothing out " of the ordi nary ,. had happened, f Te ; mystery pf Oregorio'a ability to go from, pasture to pasture In search of geese and ducks was explained and the ranch boss was so tickled by it that he instructed his men o let the Mexican alone. , J ELEPHANTS ON RAMPAGE Queen, Biggest of Herd, Upsets' Fore paugh & Sells Parade.

Borne of them In their panic nearly butted down part Of the foundations of the great building. , Mlty and Jess, the performing baby ele phants, started all the trouble. They Were hitched to Cinderella's gorgeous golden coach, which was to head the ele phant division of the street parade. As they were turning at right angles at 7.30 p. m. they swung too sharply to the left and cracked the pole of the 'coach, The pole snapped with a crack like a platoj shot. i ' Queen.' the biggest elephant in the herd. Who . was close behind the coach, was scared Into temporary madness by the crash of the "pole. She trumpeted' wildly and turned and fled back toward he quarters In the basement of tbe Garden, The sixteen other big elephants, who ware chained together, two and two,' and who Were marching solemnly up the runway, were . butted Into ..and burled about by Queen's fierce onslaught , ' r I She backed them' alt down Into the base ment at a wonderful rate of speed and then led them In a wild, shuffling gallop about the subterranean passages.

He was no more than J3. so the time -. -was about l&tl It was so great a passion that, as be tells us, for-a period of four. yars it excluded every other thought. After nve-and-twenty years, as he told bis friend Forster, lie could pot think of the episode without pain. "I never can see the face or hear the voice without all the old scenes being called up.- . - : - - , Now comes the Interesting question, whose was this face and voice, and who was thla prototype of "Dora" and "Mrs. Flnchlng"'-who was this youthful love of the thirties when os w not 20 years old? .yvp can. Indeed, only speculate, but tne speculation s Very-closa to certainty. om years ago well-known firm of autograph dealers, w.ho once had for sale the first receipt for the Pickwick copy money, were In poaeesston' of a number of early letters of Bos written at this time. They were U In namber, and were sd dressed io a frlendnamed Henry Kollo a clerk In. a city bank.

The two friends used to frequent the house pf a family named Beadnell, where there were two attractive sisters, to one of . whom Kalis ' became attached. . The other, was the object of pickens' affec tions. Before Jsati Kolle had married, Dickens was not so fortunate. His suit was opposed by thV parenta notably by the mother. As would seem from the following letter, the courtship was carried on clandestinely: 1'AS I was requested In a note I received this morning to for ward tny answer by the seme means aa my first note, I am emboldened to ask II you will be so kind as to deliver the en closed for me when you practice your cus tomary duet this afterpoon." This letter la undated, but It Is clearly written when both were bachelors, the favored Kolie practicing music with his fiance, the poor youth1 Charles forbidden the house. If Miss - Beadnell was like ?'Dora," as Is said, she must have been a fascinating little creature: and this story quite accords with that of the fictitious maiden- The disagreeable Miss Murd stonev who kept guard over "Pora," may have been suggested by the hostile mam roe. 'v Tsars later Dickens went to call on his old flame. Ha saw the stuffed Jip In the halt and the interview so revived the old feelings-that not long after be began the touching episode of "Dora." These feel ings were of course Independent of the rather grotesque ones, which the changed appearance and flighty behavior of the heroine ; produced.

What Is this but Injustice and the meanest Ingratitude? ' . , ; Besolved, That we hold" the Republican party responsible for neglecting these noble, aged end brave veterans. Resolved, . That we ask ' tbe Democrats. In Congress to do alt they can to right this -wrong and. If possible.', to secure these men who are en tbe verge of the grave, a pension, tc which all true Amer ican veterans are entitled.,., Wasted Care, i : "By gum,, sal4 .the' grim old captain of Industry, It's, mighty hard lines to bring up a boy to? what might to be years of discretion and then see all your efforts 1 wasted..
