While every day flsh stories have been
gclng about In flocks, there has been a
famine in crawfish . tales. .Peter Hon
klrk, the well-known contractor, ex
member of the legislature, and ex-coun
cilman from the East Side, was equal td
the occasion and supplied the de
ficiency. '
While at dinner with a party of friends
at Kruses' Orill Room, he perpretrated
the following for the gospel truth, and
some of his associates have not yet
wholly recovered from their temporary
paralysis.
Mr. Hobkirk said: "Last week- while
In Spokane, I took a walk to the river
to view- the falls. While standing on the
bank of the' stretfrrt; I noticed a great
commotlpn under the water and a mo
menf later a lftrtDlaek liog-appeared
on the surface With a' big' crawfish be
tween his jaws. The crawflsher Went
ashore, and arter eating the red bug,
with great relish, wandered back, up the
stream for a short distance and mado
another dive Into the river. The water
being clear and the hog of a dark color,
I could watch his movements plainly.
Mr. Porker, wandered about on the bot
tom of the river, rooting up stones- with
his snout and capturing the crawfish.'.
Some of the friends are skeptical as
to the veracity of the story in view of
the fact that some "knocker" has cir
culated a report that there are no craw
fish In Spokane. Another "Buttlnsky"
glvos his opinion that a lorn? session at
the Quelle Is sometin?ea responsible for
dreams of this character.

It Is because the fish when at the

are so. many 'nets near the bar that a

On the move,11 sa'id Charles Oranholnr, of
Boise City. Idaho, -who -is In thss city 4n
-business Wday. r-am tleased' te-eee tire
evidence bf growth that1 appear on every
side. I hid-heard there was a decided
activity In Teal estate and building here,
but I did not realise It was to great,
"We are not so far behind up In Boise
City.- We are moving along at about the
same pace as the other cities and you
need- not worry, we will be there when
th"uand Strikes up. There Ms a decided
business activity in Boise City, and it
seems, to have come to stay. Our city
has seen a wonderful growth durng the
past year. Mining business is always good
With us, and we are, turning out some
good products. I can honestly suy that
the, whole Northwest has had a wonder
ful year of growth."
GOOD SALMON YEAR.
"This has been a phenomenal year in
the fisheries at Astoria," said H. B. Par
ker, who is at the Perkins today, "there
have been some record-breaking catches
made-and some that will not be beaten
for a long while. The biggest one-man
catch is recorded by one of the cannery's
men, who pulled In over 3000 pounds in
ono night. There was also a catch of
over 4000 in 20 minutes by a crew, which
is the biggest yet. ! -
"Prices, too, on fish have been record-
breakers. Eight cents was paid at one
time, which was the highest price for
years, and .the season closes with two
cents a pound, which is the lowest price
ever paid. Astoria fishermen made good
profits during the first part of the season
and almost flooded ' the canneries with
stock. No, the pack was nothing extra
this year, that is, nothing greater than
that of previous years."
HAD A RAPID GROWTH. ,
"Do you know that this, state has had
a wonderful growth?" said Anthony
Moore, of Molalla, -an cJ.d" resident and
active business man, . wlpo 1b in the city
today. "I have seen this city. when. It
was a mere in rant, struggling to take a
position among the towns of the" North
west, and when we were -very little heard
of In the East w 1, , ..-
"Now its a "city j large, enough t& do
crodlj to any country," grown up within
a short time." Whenever I go" East on
buslnes or a visit, I am' always pleased
to boom that -secetlpn and I always con
sider that whatever! say Is true, because
we cannot say enough about the advan
tages and resources offered; to young and
old to come here for a home."

A Married Man's Musings.
Changing minds and dresses occupies
the entire time1 of some women.
The first requisite to a marriage
is a husband's ability to gNW satisfac
tory explanations. . ' " .
When one remembers : that Solomon
was the fellow who had so many wives
he can't help thinking that a good deal
of sympathy was wasted upon old Job
who had only one,
Man may be lord Of creation, but. he
hasn't learned yet to talk BO words a
minute with' his mouth full of hairpins.
Even the most truthful of women can't
help calling mllkb"cream" when th min
ister stays to dinner.'
A sharp wife and a dull rasor are the
principal causes of profanity.
The extreme penalty for bigamy is two
mothers-in-law.
Women have, no real sense df humor.
When you tell them a joke they give you
a DlanK stare, but II you nappen to xau
off the stcpladder Into the tub while pa .
pering the bathroom, they stand around
and cackle like a lot of hysterical hens.
The bride is given "away by her fa

upon to give himself away, before long.
