Considerable ffood road work at very low figures is being done in road district number 13. Superin tendent Wherry report material progress made, and it is believed that by next July the road will be com pleted. The work done in this dis trict shows what can be done, S5 do ing as mnob m 350 under the usual way. Thus far about S330 cash has been expended in a very advantageous manner. The estimates of the light bouse board for the current year for gener al appropriations amount to 82,229, 500. The estimates for special appro priations amount to 83,107,310. Among the items are the follewing: Completing the pedestal of the Stat ue of Liberty, New York harbor, 850, 000; depot for the ninth district, 850, 000; tender tor the eleventh district, 885,000; St George reef light, Cali fornia, 8200,000; Helceta head light, Oregon, 880,000; Columbia river light, Oregon, 860,000; Gray's harbor light, Washington territory, 860,000. Says the Benicia, CaL, New Era: The scarcity of salmon in the river ia attributed more to the catfish that abound in the waters and especially their presence in the spawning grounds, where they live upon the spawn. It salmon were plentiful the sea lions would not prove such a ser ious nuisance, as it is only when the fish are scarce that they come up into the straits and rob the nets of their catch. It seems to be the general impression among the fishermen that it the commissioners do not try in some way to repair the injury they have done in placing catfish in these waters, it will be only a short time before the salmon will be extermi nated entirely. ..- am '' PERSONAL MENTION. Sheriff Smidt went to Salem last evening. Mrs. A. E. Osgood is expected home next Friday. Mrs. Jas. Davidson came down on the Telephone yesterday afternoon.

There is little present likelihood that the blockade on the lower Columbia that was so annoying in '88 will be repeated this year. The editor of an np country ex change feels bo good over his recent merriage that he offers his paper free for one year to those who will go and do likewise. So far as his paper is concerned, the inducements are hard ly snmcient Who Is Your Best Friend? Your stomach of course. Why? Be cause it it is out of order you are one ol the most miserable creatures liv ing. Give it a fair, honorable chance and see it it is not the best friend you have in the end. Don't smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the morn ing. If you must smoke and drink wait until your stomach is through with breakfast You can drink more and smoke more in the evening and it will tell on you less. If your food ferments and does not digest right, if you are troubled with Heartburn, Dizziness of the head, coming np of the food after eating, Biliousness, In digestion, or any other trouble of the stomach, you had best use Green's Augnst Flower, as no person can uso it without immediato relief.

Washington, Jan 1. Dr. Scott, Mrs. Harrison's father, although only a clerk in the pension office, has broken down under the strain im posed by the new dignity of his daughter and her husband. For a month bis mail has been filled with letters from people begging him to use his influence with his son-in-law for their advancement in office. Dr. Scott is a gentleman of the old school, and in vain does his daughter, Mrs. Scott Lord, tell him it is not necessary for him to answer each letter, because as a government omcial he can't meddle in appoint ments to office in any way. He per sists in replying to all, saying, "I must be courteous," and he is quite used up with his labor of courtesy. He has been very ill during tne week, but is now convalescing. All his associates in the pension office have become oppressively deferen tial toward Dr. Scott ECZEMA CAN BE CURED.
