The Sea Lions BY ELBERT HUBBARD. On tho rocks at tho Cliff house in San Francisco there are son lions. When Balboa tumbled head first over a. cliff and discovered tho Pacific, thoie were sea lions hero. They tumblo and roll and quarrel and phiy and socld and bark. Sometimes thorn are more, and somotimes Iosb, but always the fraternity is represented. The sea lion is a great traveler ho may go ton thousand miles in a year, but he has places he calls home and to theso ho annually roturns. Many of these sea lions at San FranciBco are known by name they have distinguish ing scars and marks of individuality that cannot be mistaken. Simple folks think that sen lions aro all alike, but this is a great mistake. Some ars good-natured and generous, others are mean, small, quibbling and irritable I rogret to say that tho sea lion is like Now York society, "imperfectly monogamous." On the rocks at tho Cliff houBO one sea lion named "Taft" is king. Taft is successor to Ben Intler, who became monarch here in 1849. In fact Ben Butler was a forty-niner. Everybody who camo hero got acquainted with him from a distance You can hire field glasses from waiters at tho Cliff bouse and these bring tho lions up so close that you can hear the cubs cry, and listen to the language of the others, which is often unfit for publication. Ben had the .rocks. He held the fort until 1890, when a large trust-busting attorney of a tea lion came over from the Farallone Islands and there was a terrible fight. This fight lasted two days and two nights. Half of San Francisco flocked to the shore to see the sea fight. It was a matter of ouster to the death. Ben had the law, .but Taft had the profits. As night settled down on the second day of thia misunderstanding, the pel lucid tide reemed to sing a requiem, and mermaids were seen sporting in the turqoise depths of wave, laying high backed combs against conch shells on the result. The roars of the contestants could be heard above the roar of the waves as they tussled, bit and struck, fin in fin. By midnight all was still. When the sun rose, Taft could bj seen reclining in the topmost niche of the topmost rock, monarch of all be surveyed; the wives he had annexed, reclining all round him, each with her cub the cub an orphan, but sustained by the thought that he had a Tiinl step-father. And Ben Butler where was hct Alas! Alas! Cut off in his one hundred and twenty-seventh year, his dead body was rolling on the sands, 'weight exactly two thousand pounds. It took all the waitors at the Cliff house, the cook and bartender to carry the body up the hit'. Tho hide looked like a crazy-quilt, from tho original sketches and designs made upon it by the tusks of Taft. With a field-glass we watched Taft reclining on his throne, picking the fish bones out of his whiskers. All around below were his wives, and the AT YOUR CALL. There is plenty .of competent help in tho town, but those who the qualified to render efficient service don't know about you and, naturally, you don't know T about them, unless you read and use the Wants. Through the Want Ads you can T seouro men skilled in the higher crafts any number of them if I you'll go about it in the right way. The Wants are read by all sorts of workers, so if you have a position that is vacant, tell this army of unemployed about it and you '11 soon get a man for tho plnce. Tho Journal Want Ads are al ways at your call, nnd they re spond quickly. : IllF Carpets i 1 :: Linoleums JmV ''4fjb Draperies and Wallpaper j l;'! Ever hown in Salem.

One of The Capital Journal staff, ha v ing a fine case of grip last week went up east of the mountains where he could enjoy it without being worried by the devil's call for copy. The weather was at its best 'and so you can imagine, or rather you can't, how beautiful the old Columbia and tho Hood River coun try looked. The city has been paved since tho writer was there last and tka valley has bloomed and blossomed like a bride's bouquet. It is the most fra grantly and stylishly dolled up little valley since Adams time. Orchar.is everywhere and comfortable homes dot- -, so thickly that it is bar', to tell where tho city leaves off and the country begins. The Columbia highway, building by Multnomah county, and finished nearly to Multnomah Falls is a splendid piece of work, but it is probable it will not bo built further than tho line of Hood River county, at least for the present. The twenty odd miles of road from tho county lino to Hood River valley is a very difficult piece of road to build and it would bankrupt the county to I it. If the road is ever finished through the mountains it will be when Multnomah county or the state gives substantial aid. Sunday, a visit to Dec, 18 m'les from Hood River where are located the big mills of the Oregon Lumber company, was something long to be remembered. There also is locat ed Wilson WinaB, who has a mill of his own and owns a big section of land and scenery. Ono of the features of the latter is the Devil's Punch Bowl, a great basin in to which the river pours, and the walls of which are perfect col umns of basalt, while at the lower edge or rim of the bowl, Deadpoint creek, a fine stream leaps down over the basal tic columns and into the main river. To the south Mt. Hood seems to be only a stono's throw away. j'o use trying to toll anything about the grandeur of it It can't bo done. Hero is also the home of Mayor Al Tozier of the Campground. lie has his house on top ot a hill up in the air some .000 feet above us fol'. s down here in tho vnllev. At The Dalles everybody seems bus; though there was complaint that it "was dull." It did not strike us that way. In fact sitting at tho windows of Tho Dalles hotel and rubbing up against an old friend, Judd Fish, who is head of tho commercial club, manager of the hotel, booster or Wasco corn, and pretty nearly everything cl.-e there is to do or boost, our nerves got a severe jolt. As wo listened to his dulcet tones and gazed across the swift Columbia at the green slopes of the Klickitat hills, suddenly a locomotive eaino slippin along the track, but instead of pulling a string of passenger cars or a stack of flats, it had a house in tow. No little shack but us it proved afterwards the building housing the exhibits of Tho Hani's Commercial club. Tho building is feet long by1 111 feet wido covored with cement outside and weighing, it was estimated, about 15 tons. It was moved about 1)00 feet in three minutes, and iu a half an hour was off tho track ami being blocked up in its new loca tion. Ab a sample of the way they do things at Tho Dalles, this is about an average. On the way home the train stopped a minute on tho Sandy bridge to let tho passengers sec the crowd along the banks catching smelt. The river wns alive with the little fellows and they not only could be, but were, dipped up with a bucket. At the Cascades and Celilo tho fish wheels are being put in shape nnd a big catch is anticipated, but like tile coming primaries more will be known on thnt subject when it is over. Speaking of politics, there did not seem to bo any around Hood River or Tho Dalles ev- eept Judge Ueimett. That, by the way, sivnied to be the democratic side of it too, in Portland.

FLY CAUSE8 DREADED IN FANTILE PARALYSIS. 4 INFANTILE paralysis is one of the most baffling diseases the medical profession has to deal with. Although it is confined largely to children, it sometimes visits adults- Death often follows within a week after infection and sometimes In as little time s forty-eight hours. High fe ver, delirium and convulsions mark its presence. The Rockefeller institute was founded in 1901 primarily to ar rive at some preventive or cura tive agent to fight the plague. It hat received since its estab ishmcnt gifts from the oil mag nate aggregating more than $3, 000,000. The institute grew out of the death of Jack McCor mick, one of Mr. Rockefeller's grandchildren, who died of this awful ditoase. The child's death awakened within Its grandpar ent the determination to lite hit wealth to disclose the hid den and mysterious cautet of the disease. I I I I a :i !
