Yesterday a well known business man
received a letter from a friend in Roslyn,
Kootenai country, which
stated that there was great excitement In
that section over the new gold fltid. The
town has had a phenomenal growth In
the past few montht, and now possetse
thirteen hotels, with another In process
of construction. The gentleman thought
that with all the cry about gold, gold
bonds and gold reserve, that the new
mines being rapidly developed, would
probably afford a portion of the desired
supply of the yellow metaL
In conversation yesterday In thi off!
of a prominent real estate agent, Mr. C.
W. Shlvely said that ns far as he was
personally concerned the location of the
railroad depot was Immaterial, but that
he was very anxious that the movement
might be successful In securing the pave
ment of a through street from Hmlth's
l'olnt to Tongue I'olnt. lie thought that
the successful growth of the city de
manded that there should die such a
boulevard, giving access from all parts
of the city to all other part. He further
said that with the establishment of tuch
a street would naturally come the build
ing oi a through car line, affording cheap
transiwrtlon from one nd of the town
to another. Mr. Shlvely says that he has
offered in the past a donation for this
purpose, and stands ready to lay to make
It good. No doubt oth-rs will follow in
the wake of thU good example.
Kast Astoria Is doing its share of im
proving, and thst portion of the city
presents a very busy spptarance. The
constant demand 'or residence houses has
been the caus9 of a num'icr of buildings
being erected, while a great many are be

The Noyo was out from Fort liragg

following passengers: Harry Withers

anil th only pTon on board who tn-ars

In tilling almut the Sturm yesterday
Captain Levlnson said: "When the
steamer left Fort llrnirg a her.vy sea was
running, but we thonuht nothlmt of that,
and all Sunday morning we made fair
time. Sunday afternoon the wind began
to Increase until at mldttlKht It ass blow

never shirked obeying an order, even
though It was at the risk of their Uvea
In the morning the storm abated some
what, and the Albion stood by us until
we got our Mret relit anil were once more
under way."
"It was an awful voyage," said one of
the passengers. "The waves carried
away part of the decltlnad, hut It was
not enough to help the steamer. Then a
huge wave came along and tlnoded every-
thing. The flres under the boilers were
out and In a few momenta the Noyo was
helplees. Captain levlnson ordered the
derkload thrown o'erboard, and while
this was being done a piece of lumlier
flew out of the hands of two of Ihe men
m. I a splinter from It struck Purser
Llttlejohn In the forehead
"Captain. Levlnson managed to put lb
vessel about, but the attempt lo set sail
was a failure, as no cnnviis could with
stand the force of the gale. It was
then that all tht passengers were wsrneii
and we started out to get lifebelts on.
Some of the we-f at'd children were
too seasick lo move, and they had to hi
helped to placet of safety. During the
whole dreadful time Captain Levlnson
never lost hit head, and directly the Al
bion was sighted he flew signals 0f dls-ee-s.
She came within hjilllng dlatnnre.
and Captain Lundqulst fold he would
stny by us. He did to until the gule
went down and our men were able to
pump out our engine room and get firr
under the boilers. Then we came on to
fian Francisco and arrived yesterday
morning."
The Noyo does not seem to be much Ihe
worse for the gale she went through, but
shipping men say that the escape of both
vessel and all oa board was little short
of miraculous.

There are decreet anil kinds of poverty.
Just as there are dlffeeenres nf opinion
among those who compute and measure
poverty by different standards. Home
men deem themselves poor lieeause they
are lest rich than others, attain, there
are comparatively poor people who are
satlsrcd with a competence. There la a
kind of poverty for which no amount ol
wealth can rompenrate, namely, a pov
erty of bodily stamina, evinced by ner
vousness and a derangement of the func
tions of digestion, bilious secretion and
the bowels. To restore vlitor upon a wr
manent basis there Is one remedy that
fully covert the requirements, "tills the
bill," and this Is Hosteller's Stomach
Hitters. Hy restoring digestion, gl.lng
a healthful Impulun tn the action of the
bowels and liver and tranqullltlng the
nerves, II fullllle Ihe condition nreeasui')'
