Judging from the onrly rpor1s al ready established liy thu sppeders whirh are to appear In Portland for a week's races n"xt month, the local track of the Country club should, be given close to a two-minute mark.

Lumber prices are stiffening up a kit as a result of a rapidly Increasing demand from points east. Several mills In the city have their order books Well filled and refuse business at going Quotations except for Immediate deliv ery. They do not want to load up with cheap business in view of indications of further advances. Conditions have improved greatly .during the past ten days and lumber Maeaiers are cneercui over the prospects. I Several buyers have been in the city firurlnfir on large lots for the TTtnh nrt Colorado territories whence very little vuBioum inns originated since Me rrelght yate advance last October or nearly a pyear ago. Local business keeDs im excentlnne.1- fjy well with no material signs of an any ituiiiiK on. oningies Indicate a Blifthtly firmer tone in avmnathv with khe recovering lumber market and sash nd door mill products meet with a good demand, manufacturers having about all the orders thev can handlA -without depending much upon eastern markets.

Belling ham, Wash., Aug. 8. . A. vein of free-milling ore assay ing from $9 to 116 a ton and averaging $12, the vein being 1,700 feet wide, at least 700 ft high and 'the Lord only knows how deep," is the latest in the woy of fcibulous mining stories. The find is reported by E. Spenopr, an old mining man of the county, who tflls a thrilling story of a BeVen-year search for this claim, its accidental dis covery by a tumble from a 41 foot cliff and Its fabulous rich ness. The vein if said to be In this county on the south fork of the N"M.ksa-k Hwr. Spencer fays Le found the property Julv 23 fin I lie has Just returned from the scene after staking out six claims He was accompanied on Ms trip bv P.llly Holmes. his partner. and J Gums, a mining expert from Nevada Spencer says the expert has (icn nn opinion that the six r-lilms are worth I l.fn'td.nn.i as tvey Mavl. and witho-it a cent's worn, of development work hav- ir.it r'-n in on them. I I ! i American Doctor: To what, Doctor, do you attribute the success of the German people ? German Doctor: To one thing, my dear Doctor, just to their temperance. American: But Doctor, we think of your people as heavy drinkers. German: Ah, but the drink is beer. While other nationalities have their wines, whiskies and' vodkas con taining large percentages of alcohol and very little food value, we stick to our beer with its nourishing barley and tonical hops and only 32 alcohol. American: You say only 32 alcohol as though that ingredient were not beneficial. German: I do not mean it in that sense. We find alcohol has a food and stimulating value when the pro portion is not too great. The danger is in overstimulation, impossible when the percentage is so small as in beer. American: Perhaps the superiority of your people may be due to the superiority of your beers. German: Don't mistake there. We are strong admirers of your Schlitz Beer. It evidences the care used in its brewing. Its full rich flavor brings to you the taste of the barley and the hops, so often lost in the different processes. It has the sparkle and life, too, due to a perfect yeast. The freedom from geTms shows careful sterilization. The fact that it docs not cause biliousness proves its perfect lagcring, or aging as you say. American: That is splendid, Doctor. I have been using Schlitz Beer in my practice, prescribing it where my patients needed an easily digested food which has some tonic value. EspeciaHy beneficial, I have found it, after surgical operations where the stomach refused to retain other food. Also in cases where the patient was not inclined to drink enough to flush the system of its waste. German: When you Americans generally appreciate these benefits of beer, then may the Fatherland take heed or your country will outstrip us as we have our neighbors; but good progress to you and the temperance work of Schlitz, The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous.
