That is true of ordinary jobs. Brains are also used to make a good job. So is conscience. A job made without skill or honesty is no good.

The Clatsop Mills are running full handed, and one would never suppose there had been a strike there 10 days ago. It seems too bad that a few men, who Intended to quit the mill anyway, to go on the river fishing, would induce their comrades to leave their Jobs, when there 'were dozens of men glad of the oppor tunity to get their places.

The lake on the hill back of Clateop Mills 1b now only 20 feet square, while heretofore at this season of the year it has covered about two acres. The out let' was formerly by way of the gully back of the ScowBay foundry, but thiB outlet getting clogged up, the water forced a passage down farther east, and this Is supposed to be the cause of the landslide which destroyed the dwellings belonging. Mr. Devlin. - WILD CATTLE. j James Walker brought) in C2 head of cattle from the Nehalcm country to 01 ney. They were as lively a herd as was, ever got together, many of them having run wild In the woods for some time like elk, and when they were rounding the herd up the ranchers took hounds and trailed them as they would game. If Walker goes after unruly voters as he -he did for these cattle. Caot. Grev should see that those 'due him are not scented. BEARS AND THINGS. This neighborhood will soon figure In the papers as a game community. IS was only last week that an As- torlan lad killed a bald eagle down at the Point Adams light house measuring seven and one-hulf feet from tip to tip, and now, Monday Will Bartholdus and Henry Duhmas, caught a large black bear In a trap out near Greenwood emetery, and from the number of racks seen in that vicinity they may catch two or three more. PROMPT ACTION.- " The Astorlan must give Chief Lough- cry credit for his prompt action in or dcrlng the extermination of the kinder gartens for gambling the 25 cent for a nickel slot machines. , He ordered the stranger, who dropped In upon us, to close them up at once. His action is very commendable, and although some few who were Interested will fail to view .the case as The Astorian does, 1 general public will say "Well done, Mr. Chief." The following clipping from the St. Jar. eph (Mo.) Herald will be of inter est In this connection, as the article bei rs on the same evil: ' .Var will be Inaugurated by the pe llet- authorities against .the nickel-In the-clot machine The order was is- sin 1 yesterday by Chief Broder to the patrolmen that owners of the machines be notified that they must take them out by the 15th Inst., or they would be ar. ested for keeping a gaming device. " 'I don't know whether a slot ma chine is a gaming device and comes un der the ban of the law or not,' said Chief Broder last evening, speaking of his order, 'but If they don't take out the machines upon notice I am going to arrjsfc those keeping them in their plactu of buKlness after the 15th and bring the matter into court and Bee.' "The chiefs of pollce'ln Chicago, Kan. sas City and other larger cities have Issued orders that the machines should go, and their orders were obeyed. At chison took a different view of the' mat ter, and Chief of Police White has roO cently notified the owners of the slot machines In that city that they must contribute $10 a month to the city treas ury or take the machines out. Thus they are licensed In that city on the order of the Joints." MARINE NEWS. The flve-maeted schooner Louis, own ed by A. M. Simpson, Capt. A. J.

A respectable lady, without means or relatives able to help her, is said to b slowly dying In Alderbrook from con sumption.

Is 'there not some one In Astoria, blessed with the cpportunltles for doing good, afforded by the possession of a fair share of this world's goods, who will go to this poor womnn and smooth her dying pillow with the merciful assurance that her oaon sns:i d oared for after she Is dead?
