The design of the wind hisa Is such, with the tumlcm en-.jlnes, Unit every pjtrt la ncc-sslble to the operator. It In so simple that the op erator enn always see exactly w hat he is lining In lockliiK and unlocking the windlass. It can be done Instantly with one motion of the numi on tut lot-Mug leVer, so that lu ciiae of emertrency ll avoids the. trouble whit h a delay In locking would entail. It Is durable and reliable, beenui-e the wildcat or b.iln wheel und the friction band lire close up against the aide bltt, so that they get a solid support, nml the liability of any bending of the shnft or breaking of the w-lndluaa Is greutly reduced. l"ii engines are all made to gauge and templet, nnd working In a vertical ,ri.-i-tlon the wear on all sides of the cylin ders Is eiiual, so that the engines will Inst longer than w ith Inclined cylinders or hiu-lKoutnl cylinders. The wlndlims hua been constanlly I ! proved during all the forty years it has been manufactured by the American Ship Wlndliuta Co., and during nil tho.c forty yearn It has always been regard ed ns far In advance of any wimllnvs nuiilo anywhere In the world. It is ow ing to these facts that more than sev enielghtha of nil the ateam wimllassoa In use In this country are of this pat tern. Whllo It niny be poaalble to buy a slightly cheaper windlass, the differ ence In first coat la ao slight that In the life of a windlass that slight dif ference soon disappears, and In nn emergency it disappears at once nnd saves ninny times the whole cost of tho windlass In a few minutes' I'me. Shipowners and builders may depend upon It that the best is the cheapest In the rnl. Th American Hhlp Wlnd'aa.

THIS TUCK HTOIIY. of thn lilllh ultlea of I ho norland and Aiiilope Coming Down Ktrearn, Tho triiii story of thn dinii ulll'-a in-rli-iiceil by thn Harland and Ih" All Hope, and their voyages down th- fiv er from I'ortlund, waa learned yi.li-r-luy ufti-rnixm from Captain Uall't', of the tow boat Harvest queen. Captain llanka, of tho Antlopo, was ai-eu yenti-rday afternoon and iiiiMtloii 1 lu regard to the trip down tho river. Ho aoJil there waa nothing much to talk ubout, but thai they had some little dlltlfulty at the mouth of tho Willamette, river, where they were de tained aliiut a day, and that f.h-y w ire ulao obliged to lay up near llrooktleld to wait for a high tide In onb-r to get over the bar near Tongue I'olu'., and Unit he IiikI alao lightered lu;H uicka cf wheat on thn Harvest Queen, "tich brought him down, but that he dill thought the channel waa all right, il's veaael waa drawing 21 feet 6 Inch's. When uetlolietl Captain Unlit y, of the Harvest Jue-n, said: "VV had no special difficulty at the mouth of the Willamette river. Tri trulh of the mater Is that the mornliiK waa foggy and thick with ainoge, we were coining down the Willamette at a good rate of .peed, on which the An- tlope irole did not calculate, mil be ing unable to aee distinctly when at tempting to enter the Columbia, we gut about 4no feet out of the channel, run ning cl'e over to the Washington shore, and landing In a soft mud ''ink. We were so far over, In fact, that we were lu the way of boats gulK to Voncouver. At the next high tlje we pulb-il tiff all right and did not stop again until near llrooktleld at 11 J clock yeateiday morning. We were Just loo lute to cutch the high tide at that H,lnt In order to get Into the Aitona harlmr." The Antlope stayed at ilnkflelii ul mottt tm-iity-fiiur hours, arriving t!i-rc yesterday afternoon. When Cvtii!r. Ilulley learned that he was talkln: to a newspaper man, he' further said: ' lif courih.' 1 prefer to have nothing ""'id about thla matter. The whole thing was no fault of the river channel. The channel la all right, and I have made personal soundings. I know all -i-jout the much-lalkctl-of trouble of the Her land. S'he did not stick on the btr the mouth of the Willamette river, hut had a somewhat similar experience to the Antlope. She went into the Col umbia while there was a strung flood tl-le on. which the skipper did not properly figure upon, and the force if the current threw the ship against the tank. She waa at all times In deep water and soon floated out of her dlffl- uV.y when the tide turned." There re (..'lue people who did not know be-ferr- that the tides are so strong- a V n.:ivd miles up the Columbia is to throw a heavy vessel against the bank. but the captain's explanation undoubt edly stutct! the facts In the rase, tn closing his remarks, the captain ilJ: "'.y lsiy, for many years to come, rail id i r no railroad, we will continue I tulce ships up the creek." AKUCND THE WOULD. Toduy the yacht Noma will leave New York for a cruise around the world. She will visit all of the odd and out-of-the-way places Imaginable, and will send back to America Inter mtlng letters of the discoveries made. Her route will Include Philadelphia, Cnltlmore, Norfolk, Charleston. and Jacksonville, Fla.. and from thence she will will to the Ilermudas, the Axi.rcs, the South Coast of Spain, Tanglers, Af rica, the llalearlc Islands, Corsica, Sar dinia, through the Adriatic, the Gulf of Taranto, the east const of Hrlndlsi, the Treinltl Islands; thence down the I'nlniatliin ctautt. to Montenegro, the Ionian Islands, Crete.

Along about ifO a fellow named Guten berg, who had "com de Rhine over," was monkeying around a carpenter shop In Lenta. He whit tled soma little blocks and actually made an alphabet Then he rigged a sort of well, a machine that would look something like our let ter press of today. He arranged his blocks In order, put some Ink on ti.em, also a piece of paper, and then screwed bis press down. That was called printing. Old Outenberg made a howling success of the racket and his bead became so swollen that he really snubbed the king one day. The king overlooked It however, for be bad ao kia what kind of fellows printers would be. Well, finally they got the print ing system down pat and, as the centuries rolled by, began printing newspapersbrat person. Invariably singular number, any gender and hard case. In This Enlightened Day There are many newspapers as a matter of fact But It U an utter Impossibility to gt-t a newspaper to admit It Tho advertising patronage of a newspaper depends largely ves, wholly upon Its circulation. A newspaper ts a great deal Ilk the human body: If Its circulation la good. It prospers; otherwise, otherwise. Some papers publish Want Columns That Is, a column, or a number of columns, devoted to small advertise ments. If a fellow wants anything trouble, a wife, a house don't make any difference what It Is he can get It by means of a small ad. Included tn the "Wirt" column ar "For Sale," "For Rent" "Lost" "Found," "Stolen" and "Miscel laneous." Now, Just see what chumps some people are! Why, a man has been known to hunt over a city this city for days looking for a house In which to live Had he come to The Astorian ofllce and asked for a want ad. he could have gotten hia house without the least bit of trouble and for about S cents. It Is Needless To tell of The Astorian'. circula tion. The paper has been estab lished for a quarter of a century. Why, old Concomly read th first rumor of the building- of a railroad to his braves from it Circulation Is The Astorian'. long suit Conse quently, when a fellow comes Into The Astorian office, looks pleasant throws down 25 cents on the coun ter and says he wants a house, be gets It Why, Just Think I The Astorian goes Into every house In Astoria and a great majority ot those In the surrounding sections ot Oregon and Washington. Hence, It you Insert an ad. in The Astorian, it Is equivalent to engaging a man to go around to all those houses and telling the Inmates that you want something or have something for sale. Why, talk about a snap! A Bit of Adyice fthen you want anything no mat ter what It Is when you have any thing for sale: when you lose, 11 nd or steal anything, come around and tell your trouble to The Astorian. Bring 23 cents with you, and, above all things, look pleasant Tell the clerk Unit you want a want ad. In the want column, give him your 26 cents snd go away happy. As Her man Wise would say, a want ad. will restore the blind, the bald and the bowlegged to manhood. 3 Lines OCT for Cents. .Try It.
