There is very little Columbia river fish here; and, indeed, it is hard to get it at any price. Alaska fish are coming in freely, but nearly all receipts are shipped east, having been sold weeks ago.

Take, for instance, the case of sen ator Stanford, the millionaire of Cal ifornia, who is to be given a reception at Portland to-morrow night, and who could buy the county of Multnomah at its valuation of $20,000,000, and not feel it Many years ago he wanted to start a paper at Ft. Washington, in the state of New York. He had the newspaper fever as badly a3 possible, but at that time could not buy an outfit west of Philadelphia, and final ly gave up the idea, went to the land of gold and grew up with the coun try. Had he been able to get the material readily without paying so much freight, ho might now be one of the pioneer editors of the state (if he could have stood it so long), and go around with the boys every year when they have their excursions. Instead of that he has more money than he knows what to do with, and has never felt the supreme satisfac tion experienced by country editors in pulverizing an "esteemed contem porary." In Brief, And to the Point. , Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is miser'. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and won derful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, aud many other things which ought not to be, have made tho American people n nation of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower ha3 done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business arid making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Bcmember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to tho dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. If Your Watch Gets Wet. A watchmaker, to whom a watch that had been dropped overboard on n fishing excursion was taken, found that some of the works were so badly rnsted that they were useless. "If," said he, "you had dropped your watch in oil as Boon as you took it out of the water, or, better yet, had dropped it into alcohol or any kind of strong liquor, it would have cost you nothing but the cleaning." A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Bainbridge Munday Esq- Couuty Atty., Clay Co.. Tex. says: "Have used Electric Bitters with most happy results. My brother also was very low with Ma larial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitter saved his life." Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: Up positively believes he would have diid, had it not been for Electric Bitters. This great remedy will ward off, as well as cure all Malarial Diseases, and for all Kidney, Liver and Stomach Dis orders stands unequaled. Price 50c. and $1. at W. E.
