Henry Miller, of Cathlamet, Wash.,

logging stream flowing into the Colum
bia, w hero over 150 men were employed
at logging during the past summer.
According to the Lumber man there
is a good field on the doast for a email
turpentine faotory. There are two
species of wood rich in turpentine and
allied pordncts, Douglas fir and "bull"
pine, wood alcohol, pitch and other
so-called naval producla. The yield is
by no means as large as the pitch pine
of the South, bat there ie certainly
room for a factory that will utilize the
stumps and refuse of pitch-bearing
trtes on the coast.
Harvesting in the Palouse country
has been completed. Every threshing

the total shipment of new wheat has
not exceeded 275,000 bushels, most of
this being to Spokane for milling, and
to the Sound. Since the completion of!
harvesting, farmers and giaindealera
have concluded that the crop of this !
year is the largest ever hatvested in
the Palouse country. Although the'
average yield is lees than in 1897 and t
several other former seasons, the aggie
gate yield has been greater.
One feature ct the new fishery law
enacted by the Oregon legislature in'
special session, is likely to receive con-'
Biderable attention. It is that 'cth«'
persona appointed to the position ol
fish commissioner shall told the office
herein provided for for the period of
four years from the time of his appoint- <
ment" This would make the appoint-'
ment by Governor Lord, for the law
carries the emergencoy clause, hold
nearly through the term of Governor
Geer. I
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Reported by downing. Hopkins & Co., Inc.,
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber oi
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.]
Since Leiter failed the outsider has
not been interested in Chicago prices.
The disastrous outcome to the man
with so many millions was a terrifying
leeson to the small bull. Explanations
did not count. Whether Leiter made
egregious errors or not was of little
consequence. The defeat, after a year's
campaign, of the bull leader who for
so long seemed the greatest who had
ever arisen, took the heart from every
one who had believed in his cause. It
was only last June that the disaeter
took place; about four montha ago. It
seems a long interval, but it is really a
short one, and it would be remarkable
if it were not still in everyone's mind.
What new bull leader would now invite
the comparisons which would inevitably
be made; what banking concern would
hazard the criticism which would fol
low any favors toward a buying cam
paign in grain? Have the losses of last
summer's collapse been forgotten yetr
There must be a good deal imaginative
about any bull deal. Not one advance
in twenty is a mere matter of consump
tive demand or of actual scarcity.
There must be a great deal of theory
with advancing prices; people must
forget prudence, become venturesome,
permit more or less exhiliration.
Would it not be like holding a picnic
at the close of a funeral to permit much
bull spirit within four months of the
Leiter failure?
The present movement of wheat to
market is the heaviest ever known—ll,
--000,000 bushels received at primary
points last week. There was never any
such total as that in six days before.
la not the speculator doing pretty well
in taking caro of that property and in
also maintaining prices? Is not the fact
that such a volume of grain is financed
and the price sustained evidence frhat
the volume of speculation is larger than
the very narrow fluctuations would
indicate?

CRISIS WAS REACHED.
Jmlge Day Alhilk I'onitive Denundf
on Spain.
London, Oct. 19.—A dispatch to the
Londbn News Agency from Paris says:
"Today the confeience reaohed a
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands of the American
commission in threatening words. He
said that delay was the only possible
object obtainable by the persistent
efforts of the Spanish commissioners to
saddle the United Stated witi the Cu
ban debt, and would be tolerated no
longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any part
of the debt.
"The Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in a position of repudiat
ing or of reducing the face of the Cuban
bonds from 50 to 60 per cent, paying
only half the stipulated interest on
reduced value. Before they would
adopt either atlernative they would sur
render to the United States the entire
Philippines.
"Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would proba
bly be demanded, irrespective of the
Cuban or any other debt.
"This, to the Spaniards, the first in
timation of the intentions of the Unit
ed States as to the Philippines, resulted
in a whispered conference, followed by
a request for an adjournment in order
to communicate with Madrid. Judge
Day said that President McKinley had
instructed him to demand the entire
surrender of Porto Rico, and the deliv
ery of every town to the United States
officers before midnight, together with
the evacuation of Havana on or before
November 1, when the United States
would be at the gates of the city ready
to take possession.
"There was n© alternative offered in
the case of either of these demands;
the session consequently was very
brief."
DEATH IN THE STORM.
Pitlfal Fate of a Young Boy Ne«i
Florence, Colo.
Denver, Oct. 19.—A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Florence,
Colo., says: On Saturday William Lei>
lin and his 10-year-old boy came tc
Florence, from their borne, six miles
from Florence, to do some trading.
After spending the day about town, al
6 P. M. they started home in theii
wagon. It was raining when they left
town, but when out about five miles
the rain turned to a blinding snow
storm. The father lost his way, and
wandered about among scrub pines and
in the hills all night. The wagon and
team was abandoned, and an effort was
made to reach home" on foot.
As the night wore on the little fel-
Jow became cold and numb and" frcwe tc
death in his fathei'a arms. The fathei
managed to keep alive by walking, un
til he could walk no more from numb
ness of limb. Daylight broke, and Lei*
lin knew he was not far from home,
but was unable to walk. At 9 O'clock
his cries were heard by his wife, whc
went to his rescue. Neighbors were
summoned and 'he old gentleman was
assisted to his home, but he was so neai
dead that he could not give an intelli
gent account of the night's wander
ings, but the dead body of the boy told
a pitiful story of a lack of sufficient
clothing to keep him warm. He wor€
knee pants and a small coat, but no un
derwear nor outer coat. His shoes and
stockings were almost completely wore
out.
"Booty" Tobacco Admitted Free.
Washington, Oct. 17. — Assistant-
Secretary Howell, of the treasury de
partment, has consented to the admis
sion, free of duty, into Santiago, of
100,000 pounds of Cuban tobacco in the
possession of General Franco Sanchez,
having charge of the insurgent army at
Mayari. This is a lot of "booty"
tobacco, and the proceeds of the sale
will be expended for the benefit of the
Cuban army, which needs supplies ol
clothing and subsistence. The ques
tion was referred to the war depart
ment by General Lawton, and In turn
sent to the treasury department for lte
recommendation.
Preparing for War.
Paris, Oct. 19. —Confirmation ie
given at the ministry of marine to th«
report that Admiral Pourar, now ai
Tunis, has been ordered to return to im
mediate active service, and orders have
been issued that the largest possibli
number of gunners go to Brest to man
the forts. These preparations are
thought to be the result of the Fasho
da affair with Great Britain.
Papers here say three British iron
clads are engaged in gun practice of]
Dizert, a French naval station in tlit
Mediterranean.
Near Boiling Foint.
Bayonne, France, Oct. ly.—Advices
received here from Madrid point to ef
fervescence in military circles there.
Members of the Military Club openly
and severely criticise the government
for concluding what they term as a
"humiliating peaoe," and some of them
even suggest the establishment of a
militaiy dictatorship under the present
dynasty.
The officials at Madrid deny the re
port current on the Continent that Cap
tain-General Blaco has resigned.
Many Llirsa tost.
Margat. England, Oct. 19.—Th«
British ship Blengfelt, from New York,
burned off this place early this morn

STRONG STATEMENTa
Three Women Relieved of Fen lalo
Troubles by Mrs. Pinkham.
From Mrs A. W. Smith, 59 Summer
St., Uiddeford, Me.:
11 For several years I suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex. I
I Was troubled witli a burning-sensation
1 across the small of my back, that all
gone feeling, was despondent, fretful
and discouraged; the least exertion
tired me. I tried several doctors but
received little benefit. At last I de
cided to give your Lydia E Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef
fect of the first bottle was magical.
Those symptoms of weakness that I
was afflicted with, vanished like vapor
before the sun, I cannot speak too
highly of your valuable remedy. It is
truly a boon to woman .'*
From Mrs. Melissa Phillips, Lex
ington, Ind-» to Mrs. Pinkham:
"Before I began taking your medicine
I had suffered for two years with that
tired feeling, headache, backache, noap
' petite, and a run-down condition of the
system. I could not walk across the
room. I have taken four bottles of the
Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver
Pills and used one package of Sanative
! Wash, and now feel like a new woman,
and am able to do my work."
From Mrs. Molub B. Herrel, Pow
ell Station, Term.:
"For three years I suffered with such a
weakness of the back, I could not
perform my household duties. I also
i had falling of the womb, terrible bear
| ing-down pains and headache. I have
I taken two bottles of Lydla E. Pink- j
i ham's Vegetable Compound and feel ;
, like a new woman. I recommend your
medicine to every woman I know."

Why Teeth Decay. ','•- _
The question to what extent the
alkaline earth salts in drinking water
affect the decay (caries) of teeth has of
late been studied in Several quarters.
Statistics have been collected by Rese
|in several localities in Bavaria and by
Foerberg, in Sweden. These have p
: vealed the interesting fact that the |
extent of decaying teeth bears a definite '
relation to the hardness of the water; '
in other words, to the quantity of cal
cium and magnesium salts in the earth
through which the water passes. The
harder the water the better the teeth;
the smaller the | quantity of these salts
the greater the decay of the teeth.—

Women and the Wheel.
From the Gazette, Detatcare, OUo.
The bealthfulness of bicycle riding
for women is still a disputed question
between eminent physicians and health
reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates
for women a means of out-door exer
ctee, the benefit of which all physicians
concede. Used to excess, like any
other pastime, its effect is likely to be
dangerous.
The experience ef Miss Bertha Reed,
the 57-year-old daughter of Mr. J. R.
Reed, 835 Lake street, Delaware, O. t
may point a moral for parents who,
like Mr. and Mrs. Reed, have expert
enced some concern for their daughters
wbd are fond of wheeling. In the fall
of '96 Miss Bertha, who had ridden a
great deal, began to fa^l in an alarm
ing manner. She grew steadily palet
and thinner, and it appeared she was
going into consumption. Rest and
quiet did her absolutely no good. A
physician found her poire at 104—a
very high rate, Thinking this may

have been due to temporary nervous
ness when he examined her,he watched
her closely, but her pulse continued at
that rate for two weeks. He was satis
fled then, from her high pulse and
steadily wasting condition that she was
suffering from anaemia or a bloodless
condition of the body. She became
extremely weak, and could not stand
the least noise or excitement. In this
condition of affairs they were reccom
mended by an old friend
to get some of that famous
blood medicine. Dr. Williams'
j Pink Pills for Pale People. They did
so, and almost from the first dose Ber
tha began to improve. She continued
to take the pills and was by means of
those pills made entirely well, and
more grateful people than her parents
1 cannot be found in the whole state of
Ohio.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
proved a boon to womankind. Acting
directly on the blood and nerves, they
restore the requisite vitality to all
parts of the body; creating functional
regularity and perfect harmony
throughout the nervous system. The
pallor of the cheeks ra changed to the
delicate blush of health; the eyes
brighten; the muscles grow elastic,
ambition is created and good health re
turns.
