Uncomfortable and Perilous in a Howdah. There were two elephants at our disposal, and myseif and the in terpreter rode the first, each oc cupying half of the howdah. The Lhowdah has a peculiar and objec tionable habit of nearly succeeding- in cutting your legs in two? If you nang your legs outside 37ou may pad the edge as much as you like, but if you are new to the came you will wake m about half an hour from an uneasy doze with the painful conviction that the lower halves of your legs have dropped off. Un squirming up into a position from which you can view the out side world you will see they are still dangling there, but with an . irre sponsibility which suggests that they have been frayed through to the last shred. Abnormal efforts al low you to drag them safely inside. and you think it will be better in future to keep them there. J. he elephant is almost as fine a vehicle to see the surrounding coun try from as a London bus, and there is a considerable element of excite ment in his progression. The ele phant I rode had a fatal habit when it came to a river bank or bit of rough ground of looking around and picking out what seemed the worst bit he could see. Down one side of a river it seem ed as if he was engaged in trying to stand on his head, and I could look out of the howdah, although I was lying therein, and observe the fishes darting over the stones in the wa ter just under my lord's noble fore head. More than once on these jour neys the beast would patiently slouch through the trees and bush es off the track in search of some thing edible quite regardless of the fact that the branches threatened to sweep howdah and everything else over the stern. . . lint .qneof jthe. juost. peculiar sensations was when they took" it into their heads to have a scratch against the telegraph poles. It would be a wonderful line which could withstand the solid work the elephant expects its posts to carry out, and when the No. 2 beast lean ed too hard and the post snapped I could almost see the mild and some what indignant surprise reflected from one intelligent face to the other.

T it was at an informal session, aiter one of the regular meetings of a religious convention, that the New Hampshire, minister told some of his best stories. "There is one man in our church," he said, "who is as good as gold, but so long wind ed that he tires everybody out. At one time it was suggested by one of the deacons that in order to avoid the extreme length of this good man's remarks at prayer meet ing we might make a five minute limit. "This I inaugurated at the next meeting, and it was cheering to us ell to see that when the long winded man rose to speak he held his open watch in his left hand. "When the limit was all but reached he said, 'Finding, my dear friends, that I have only a few sec- ! oniis kit In order' to handle the large and growing amount of freight Dusiness at Yaquina-' tmv, a new line of gasoline schooners will be put on the run from Yaquina bay points to Astoria and Portland. C. Hammel of- this city, and August Fischer of the Corvallis Flouring Mills, are backing the enterprise, and by the middle of the coming summer expect to have three large gasoline schoon ers plying on the run. According ' to Mr. Hammel, who returned last night from Portland, where he had been per fecting the preliminary arrange ments, the line will be put inlo operation at once, says the Al bany Herald. The projectors of tne new line nave rust had built a. sixty -five ton, gasoline schooner at the bupple shipyards in Port land, xae new Doat is about 150 feet in length, and is equipped w ith 65-horse power gasoline en gines, in addition to her sails The boat is named "The Con dor." The government will make the official inspection ot the cratt tomorrow, and then it will be ready for its initial voyage to Yaquina bay. Messrs. Hammel and Fischer will at once start the construction ot two additional gasoline schoon ers of about the same size as the "Condor." ' These boats will be built at Waldport at Yaquina bay and the work will be rushed so 'hat the boats may be put on the rortiand- Yaquina run by the middle of summer at the latest. The boats will be designed to carry only freight. The new line of freight schooners is believed to be but the beginning of a business which will in a few years enable residents ol Lincoln county to get their products to market more cheaply and advantageously than at present. With no local freight boats plying out of Ya quina bay the port of late has beeq practically bottled up as far on the hillside and in the rolliag country,". Mr. Hitt ' said this morning, "and the farmers have already begun to utilize this pio- U1 aiamg growtn and mak ing the valley more fertile. In the course of the next ten years I believe the Willamette will be one of the greatest fruit-raising and dairying valleys in the coun try." STATE C. E CONVENTION.

Oreton- an Editorial. Commenting editorially npon the de sirability of establishing frmt canneries in tee Willamette Valley, the Journal aya in the cloaing paragraph : "But best of all, the csnnerv saves an immense value to the orchardist of inferior fruit that would otherwise ' be lost. It turns into cash a huge total that would other wise go to waste. With a cannery every- thing about the orchard or garden is turned into value, as a by-product or otherwise. It markets what is otherwise unmarketable and eaves what ie other wise unsavable. It stimulates the culti vation ef email tracts and is most vital izing in its effect upon a community. It would, if pushed to its possibilities, save Oregon the ehsme of being an importer of panned goods and give her fame aa exporter of the best canned goods in the world." 1 Ip an tflort to describe la grippe a writer in an exchange says : "After the disease once makes a location on your person and begins to develope its proper ty and seek more territory and spread out and expand and seek large fields and pastures, you will have an irresistable and overwhelming desire to do nothing. You-can do-nothing in more varied and different ways than you ever dreamed of befoie. You feel that if it should so hap pen within your lifetime there would come enough hot weather all at once to warm your frozen bsdy you would die happy. When you have the grip don't shake hands with straugera, don't in- Ldoiee any notes, pay no bills, never eat ice cream, or strawberry short cake, or green apple, and don't exert yourself trying to. look pleasant. If you follow the advice above given and go to bed and call in tha doctor, vou may live lone enough to earn the price of the doctor's visit, but you will sever amount to much afterward." 22 2$ 24 That within the next 10 years ur.ifof practically the entire Willamette valley will be devoted to intense farming ; that dairying and the cultivation of fruits will be the chief occupation of the farmers and that all the land which is not absolutely level will be irrigated, is the opinion of A.

Not infrequently a farmer, when told that he is following a policy that is impoverishing the land, will reply that he has had to look our for himself, and pos terity can do the same. This spirit is shown in other occupa tions, but it ,is especially in j uri nous to a rarming community. The man who is living a life that is worth living is governed in his action by a regard for the welfare of those who will follow him. It should be the ambition of every farmer to leave his farm a better one than it was when he obtained it. Ex. met. i t- , K S . i j. e. fiardiner j A. L. Richardson.... jj- nen. w . Cooper W. H.

Graham & Wells invite all who suffer from any form of catarrhal tionbles to get a Hvomei cutfit from them with their absolute guarantee that if it does not give perfect batislaction, the money will be refunded upon lequtst. There isno other treatment for catarrh that in any way restmblee Hyomei, none that giveesuch quick curative rteults and lasiingr atisfaL-tion, no medicine that ctu take its place, none that cau be sold oh a guarantee like this, to refund the money unless it cures. Calami isaeim distase aud can be cured only by brea.tLing Hyomei, so thai the most remote sir cells in the nose, threat and Iuj.b are reached by hs an tiseptic healing powers. In this way all catarrhal germs aie killed, the irritated mucous mtmhiaue is btaled and catarrh is driven frcm the system. This wonderful medicated air treatment does not drug and derange the stomach, but ie breathed through a little pocket inhaler that goes with t very dollar outfit. The unusual way in which Graham & Weils sell Hyomei attests their confi deuce in the remedy. G. W.
