Wool dealers are sending out circular
letters to sheepmen advising them to
consign their wool this year Instead of
selling at home. They claim that wool
is likely to go very high and the grower
would receive (he benefit. The best and
safest bonefit the grower can recelvo is
to Bell at home, and let dealers make
the profit on the raise. We believe the
woolgfowers fully understand the bene
fits derived by selling at homo and for
cash in hand. Rural Spirit.

It was reported this morning that tho
Paul Mohr Transportation Company,
Bays tho Telegram, lias dee'ded to ex
tend the portage road from the big eddv
to a point directly opposite The Dalles,
where immense warehouses and wharf
boats will be built and the terminus
grounds located. For several days past,
a number of teams have been engaged
in hauling heavy timbers lroin The
Dalles to a point opposite. The people
of The Dalles and residents along the
middle and upper Columbia are enthusi
astic over tho prospects and are doing
all they can to further the enterprise.
This morning work was begun on the
scouring mill. Mon are biuily engaged
in blasting and removing some large
rocks which have been land marks since
Mt, Hood was a hole In the ground.
The building will bo erected just as soou
as the material can be socurod and
placed on tlto ground. Mr. Russell in
tends to purchase all the material he
can from Dalles merchants, and the
building will bo constructed by Hugh
Glenn. No repairing will be done on
tho brick building until after tho cor
rugated iron building, which will be
two etory, has been completed.
This morning n blaut was tot oil' on
the property that is being cleared for
the scouring mill, and it sent email
rocka flying promiscuously. They fairly
rained on the adjoining buildings, nnd
for a moment occupanJB hardly knew
what had happened. W. A. Johnston's
delivery horse anil wou were standing
at the rear of thVbullding when the
blast was fired, butllie horse becoming
alarmed at iJ rwort and doubly
frlchtened whs the roakt began to hit
him, came to the conclusion that It was
safer for him at some other place, so
started of his own accord, and at no
slow pace. However, he wns stopped
near Porter's livery stable before any
damage whb done and wns taken to a
more secure and secluded plf.ee.
Tho Pacific Northwest Woolgrowera'
Association met Wednesday morning in
Boise, Idaho, with a large attendance
from the Northwestern section. It was
called to order by the president, Dr.
Withycombe, of Corvallis, who opposed
the leasing of grazing lands that are a
part of tho public domain, but advocated
a head tax on. sheep grazing on public
lands. He favored an effort to increase
the grasses on the ranges, and urged
the sowing of brome seed. Secretary
Bailey, in his annual report, said the
outlook for the industry wa9 never be
fore so good. He gave it as his opinion
that high prices for wool will continue
through the coming season. The
question of leasing grazing lands cropped
up when Secretary Martin, of the Na
tional Livestock Association, sent up a
bulletin setting forth the action of the
Fort Worth convention. The matter
went over, however, being mado a
special order for the following morning.
THE MOHR LINE BOATS.
Preliminary Arrangements for Hielr
'outructlon Completed.
It is understood that necessary ar
rangements for the construction of the
boats to be used on what is known as
the Paul Mohr transportation lin?, have
been made and that activo operations
will be commenced at ence, eays the
Morning Astorian.
The dimensions of the boat will be:
Length, 200 feet; beam, 32 feet ; depth
of hold, 8 feet. One will be fitted es
pecially for passenger traffic. Her cab
ins will be equipped with all the modern
conveniences. The other will have first
class passenger accommodations, but
will be able to carry a greater amount of
freight. Both boats will be equipped
with high pressure engines of great
power. Their boilers will be capable of
standing a high steam pressure and will
probably use coal for fuel.
From Portland it ib reported that a
knock-down boat, the timbers for which
have bean recently Eawed at Johnson's
mill, is being loaded on the cars on the
O. R. & N. switch on the East Side. It
will be shipped to a point opposite
Columbus on the upper river, and there
put together. The boat which will be
built at tint point will be 105 feet in
length, 32 feet beam and C feel depth of
hold. It is understood that tiie boiler
and engines are now on the .'ground,
Captain Cochran having brought them
from Chicago. The steamer Fredrick
Billings, which was recently purchased
from the Northern Pacific, will be sup
plied with a new boiler and will go into
commission immediately ae a construc
tion boat. The report is current that
the next move on the part of the com
pany will probably be the construction
of a first-eiass, light-draught boat on
Snnke river, at some point above Riparin.
For about three or four months In each
year, Snake river is navigable from
Pasco to Grand Ronde. The remainder
of the year boats can operate only be
tween Riparia and points a few miles
above Lewiston.
The Mau Wlio Can.
There is but one straight road to suc
cess, and that is merit. Tho mau who
is successful is the man who is useful.
It cannot remain undiscovered because
it is sought by too many anxious to
utilize it. A capable man on earth is
more valuable than any precious de
posit under the earth, and the object of
a much more vigilant search. Whoever
undertakes to build a house, to cultivate
a farm, to work a mine, to obtain relief
fiom pain, to maintain a legal contro
verey, or to perforin any function of
civilized life, is actively searching for
other men qualified to aid him. To ap
preciate the thoroughness of the tearch
it Is necessary only to realize the number
of persons engaged in all these pursuits
and undertakings throughout the world.
From such a search, no form of ability
can remain concealed. If the possessor
of capacity sought to hide himself, he
would be discovered and induced to em
ploy his ability for the benefit of those
who need it.
To ho successful, then, one lias but to
qualify himself thoroughly for some oc
cupation. Every man has some natural
aptitude. In these days, the training
by which natural aptitude is developed
into effective ability can bo obtained by
every youth, No man can hope to be
best In Any field of labor, but everyone
can hope to' be among the best. Time
occupied in worrying about opportunl
ties, openings and staf t, is time wasted.
