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. Singapore Free Press,

A Parliamentary Stratagem
T I . 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.

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."

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.

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.
