HE elorious Fourth July was close at nana, but this fact did not call forth any great amount o( enthusiasm from the grown people of Spring villo. They eemcd to think that they bad done their whole duty when they invited an out-of-town orator to road the Declaration of Indeoendence and make a speccu. On noma nr. a3lnns very raro Ones, however they satisfied their patriotic scruples by going to the expense of having a balloon ascension. Btft on the Fourth of which I wrlto no such excite ment as this was to he given us. The great day that we boys looked forward to with so much pleasure was considered by our fathers and mothers as a day of noise and accidents, and they were glad when it was over. But the vonntrer nortion of the popu lation of Snrlnffville smDlv made up for the enthusiasm that was tacking in their sires. Tills was especially true ot us four boys Tom Parks, Joe Blake, r ranK Brown, and myself. On the M of July we mot by apsointment at the band-stand In the square, tn course the general topic oi conversation was the approaching holiday and the part we were to take In its observance. For several weeks previous, we, to gether with the other village dots, had spent all our spare moments in collecting barrels and other materials to be used In mafelnz a blt bonfire on tho annate on the nisht before the Fourth. Besides this general attempt at celebration, the' boys individually had been saving up their spare pennies, all of which they felt in duty bound to spend on their nation's birthday. This was the condition oi amirs when we met at tho band-stand, for our last consultation. "How much money have you saved up?" asked Tom Parks of Frank Brown.. The nnAntlnn vis aw'"f "no -itinwn ths "ar 1 arKS naa Joe Blake 11.20, Frank Brown 08 cents, while I had been able to lay by just ai.08. "Four dollars and lorty-ono cents," said Joe, after a few seconds work at mental arithmetic. Quite a lot, ain't it?" Oer combined savings did seem lartre. "Now," said Joe, "I've been thinking: or a way to spend that money." "tin, that s easy enough!" grnmbled Frank, to whom it was a task of selfabnegation to save money, even for a Fourth of July celebration. Frank's observation was overlooked, and we asked Joe what his proposition as - Joe was, by reason of, his superiority in years and experience, our acknowledged leader, and whatever suggestion he made was generally received by us with favor. 'I suggest," said Captain Joe, "that we dub together and buy a lot- of pow der, fireworks and other necsaries, and have a little- celebration of our own to finish up the Fourth. You know the town's celebration this year is to be rather a slim affair, and I think with what money we have we can get up Quite a iitUe surprise for the people old and young.' -. That's sot Wonder we haven't thought of it before," cried we in chorus. Our celebration must be a surprise, continued Joe. "I'll borrow father's wheelbarrow to-night, and Tom andI will go to Potts field (things are cheaper there than they are here) and buy all the fireworks we can for the money." Frank, who had determined to include candles and cakes :tmong his items of expense on the Fourth, suggested as an amendment that we each reserve a mall part of. our savings for contingen cies, and this, by general consent, was agreed' upon. .Frank was not the only one of us who had a sweet tooth. "We must get some powder for the cannon," said Joe. 'And for my old musket," out in Frank. "Is that old relic in existence yet? psit fat Total -xesi it's alive and kicking.- replied Frank, Of the latter cart of Frank's state ment we have no doubt, for It was a fact well known to us all that the old weapon possessed oi the habits oi an illnatured mule. Each of us had some advice to offer in regard to what should be purchased for our celebration, and before we parted that day Joe and Tom had a full list of what they were to buy.' Early that evening they started on their mission, while Frank and I eauorlv awaited their return. Potts field was only two miles away. and the boys ought to have been back at nine o'clock, but.it was fully ton before we heard the creaking of the wheelbarrow announcing their return. . Frank and I hastened to examine the purchases, and it was evident that the boys had chosen the articles with an oye to quantity rather than Quality. . There were two pounds of powder in an old Iron kettle, fire-crackers in all shapes and sizes, and other parcels of pyrotechnics too numerous to montlon. After we bad sufficiently examined the eontente of the wheelbarrow, the question was asked:

Where shall we put all this stuff?" By th!s, time our folks were doubtless In bed, where we 'ought to have been also, and the barns and sheds locked, so that there seemed to be no opportunity of secreting the goods at our homes. We had not thought of this in our previous planning. . Say, fellows," whispered Joe, suddenly, ."why can't we hide it under the bandstand9" The place referred to was a hexagonal, box-like i if air that stood In the public square at the base of the flagstaff. It was three or four feet high, and this elevated platform was occupied by the locai band on occasions like the ono now approaching. The sides were composed of lattice-work, painted green, and the space under the floor was used by the authorities to stow' away various articles belonging to the town for which no Immediate use could be found. It was close to the spot where we had halted for consultation, and leaving the barrow In the shadow of a fence, we hastened to examine It as a possible receptable for our goods. "Just the thing," said Tom, peering through the lattice-work. "But bow can we get In? The door Is locked. " Oh, that is easy enough," said Joe; there's a loose board in the floor that father intended to nail down some time ago" (Joe's father was Janitor of the Town HalL), "but luckily for us he for got to do so. We can pry up tho board and drop our fireworks into (ho space beneath, where they'll be safe enough till we ean get them out. Fro pretty sure I can borrow the key, without father's knowing it, to-morrow or next day." "But If It rains," objected Tom. "ovyytblag will be spoiled. " Kll Itmt it wen'Hmu," tttt rruu.

"WeSre had! go much rain lately, It sooml is though wo ought to have fine weather for the rest of tho week. Besidos, the almanac predicts fair weather. " All fears in this direction being dispelled, we hastily and nolsnlesjly removed the defective board, and transferred the contents of the whoolbarrow to tho mysterious regions under tho band-stand. Thoro was littlo fear of being seen at that late hour by any one who would be likely to make an Investigation of our nocturnal operations, and, with light hearts, we so para tod for our respective homos, feeling sure that tho Fourth of July that year would end with a surprise that would cause us, the authors of It, to bo envied for a long time afterward among tho other boys. Alas! thoro is many a slip But I will not anticipate. Tho next day we spout in collecting and placing in position tho barrels and boxes for tho bonhro that was to usher In tho glorious Fourth. To our disappointment .Too was unable to obtain tho koy by which wo were to gain access to tho hiding-placo of our pyrotochhlcs, and wo wore forced to leave them in thoir conceal mont another n'ght Joe was sure ho could get the key early on tho following morning, when we woold have plenty of time to accomplish our purpose before tho pooplo were out ot bod. : But, wearied with our exertions on the night of tho 3d, we ovorslopt ourselves on tho Fourth, and thus again our treasure ras forced to run the gantlet of another day. The shades of evening would surely afford Us tho opportunity that failed to como to us before Tho boys wero unanimous in their opinion that it was an unusually quiot Fourth of July. But what with the shipping of fire crackers and tho popping of pistols, from sunrise to sunset, the old folks no doubt considered it noisy enough. The real celebration was begun aftor dinner. The brass band took its position on tho band-stand wholly unawaro that thev were sitting, so to speak, ou

the verge of a volcano, and slaved sev eral patriotic airs. Thea, the Chairman of the celebratioirxommittee introduced the orator o.,tho day, who, following a time -Honored custom, road tho ileclara tlon of Independence, after which, tak ing a drink of water and clearing his throat a number of times, lie began a speech that was full of patriotism and politics. In the-midst of a period of surpassing eloquence, ho was Interrupted by tho loud cheers of his hearers. Tho men cheered and clapped, and the boys, always ready to aid in making noise, seized tho opportunity to set oil some tiro-crackers. The cause of a 1 this turmoil seemed p'eascd, and bowed repeatedly. Tho occasion was worth at least a dozeu votes to him. When the noise had somowhat abated, he advanced to 1 10 railing of the platform to continue his .harangue; but scarce a dozen words were said when, before the eyes of the astonished audience, the platform, with all its occupants, roso in tho air in a confused mass, like a tcamboat whose boilor had burst The truth Instantly flashed upon mo. and upon the other three boys, as I could see by tboir white, torrlfied faces. that tun kettle of powdor and other explosives had in some manner become ignited, with tho result above stated. The pe.op'o crowded aronnu tno ruinoa band-stand, and lont their aid In extricating the entangled members of tho band and tho orator oi tnc unllntsnod speech. f ortunately, tnoy weinnot injured nyond a low scratches; but, as many ob served, it was a narrow escape for them. This put an end to the oOluiai celeuraion of the da-y. And what an unexpected conclusion it was! Various theories wero advanced as to tbe cause of tho catastrophe, but wc who could have thrown light on tho mystery thought it best to remain sCeut and wondor with tho rest. When tho remains of the kottle and portions of tho fireworks wero unearthed, many people were of tho opinion that it was an attompt on tho part of the enemy to get rid of tho orator of tho day, who was a politician, and consequently had a host of Ill-wishers. But the people of Sprlngviilo never earned to whom tboy were indebted for tho subject of a more than nine days' wonder: anda we, tho progenitor!) of it, had tho doubtful pleasure of seeing tho results of our hard-earned savings go off at ono bnrst. But wo also had the consolation of knowing that no event of that memorable Fourth of Ju'y was longer remembered than "Our Celebration." Qoldcn Day. Our national Birthday. There is no country except tho United States, wo believe, that celebrates Its national birthday. Thoro are certain epochs In the life of European nations that are honored with a celebration, as tho 14th of July in France, which commemorates the destruction of the Bastile and is generally accepted as tho birth of the French Republic But the state of Europe have no national birthdays. They are the result of a long series of developments, and It would be difficult to fix any particular natal day. Not so In this country. Tho Fourth of July, 1776, when the Declaration . of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, marked the birth of a nation so unerringly that it was honored as such Immediately, and will be as long as the spirit of American Independence survives Civil war interrupted its general observance for some years, but it was resumed when peace wasrostored, and now with over brightening hopes of a more perfect Union than wo have yet known, Indapfintience.

Why We So Not t'el brate tho Qlorlotu Fourth as of (are. Thirty or forty years ago tho Fourth of July could scarcely b. called a happy day for any patriotic Britisher who chanced to bo temuorarlly located under, tho shadow of tho stars and stripes.' There wero stilt a few agod mon alive who could dimly recall the war of Independence, while thoro wero numerous survivors of thtfasirugglo of 1813. Tho consequence was that at tho multitudinous celebrations which wero hold all ovor tho country tho British lion formed tho piece do resistance of tho oratorical feasts, and ho was hacked and howod In tho most merciless fashion by speakers of tho JolTorson Brick type. Turning to prosont day colobraiions,' 6 wonderful and, It may bo addod, a welcome cha go Is noticeable The American boy, no doubt, still honors tho glorious day with a profuso expenditure of gunpowder, but ho is as much an object of terror to his own countrymen as to tho foreign sojourner. Tho old spreadeagle school of rhetoricians, however, has boromo well-nigh extinct This Is partly due to lapse of time. Both 1775 and IS12 have now becomo ancient history. The Slates, too, have become so populous and powerful that they can got on without "blowing," as the Austra'lan phrase havt it. Besides, the Amorlcaus have gradually discovered that tho mother country is not a bad sort of old girl after all when yon get to know her. Tho most potent of all tho instruments which have chanced tho sentiments prevailing on Independence Day is tho great civil war. The memories of that tremendous convulsion has almost hidden the revolution from view. Tho Northern Americans then learned that rebellion is a painful shock to -those agfelust whom the revolt is mado. and they could evon feel some sympathy for poor pig-headed Ueorgo tho Third In a similar predlcamont The most pleasing feature, however, of recent celebrations is that tho animosities which raged between 1801 and 1865 have now sunk into oblivion.

BY DAVID L0WRY. CHAPTER II Coatlnnadi Mr. Caper mot theul In tlio hall. lid was wiping his faco with his handkerchiof and bowing deferentially. Ah! good afternoon, gentlemen; good afternoon! Como in!" "Pretty warm, 1 seo," said one df thd visitors, "Sir. taper, 1 presumerThe Superintendent bowed again and beamed upon them. "Hom can I serve you?" "Well, to be brief, as our time is short, wo have called to inquire " "Ah! excuse mo," said the other, making a sign to tho speaker. "Can wo see the people you have here, Mr. Caper. My card." Tho visitor, a ruddy-faced man, held nut a card, which Mr. Caper examined. Certainly, sir. You are welcome free to look over the premises. Entirely at your service. Mr. Caper cringed to his visitors. No one to look at him would bcllovo that this was the man who was on the edge of murder two minutes before. Ha led the way through tho building. Into the main hall, to the dormitory, to the hospital, to the nursery, to tho kitchen everywhere. The visitors expressed themselves sat isfied with what they saw. Ono was loud in his praise of the excellent order. and Mr. Caper spoke modestly of his "system." The other visitor was rot!cant. When they wore alone and Mr. Caper took good care to leave thorn aione oiio said to the other: "Strange very strange! She Is not herel" "No? Are you sure, quite sure, Mr. Allen?" "Quite. From the description, she trottld bo easily found. If, after all Ho paused. The other looked at hint curiously. "Well, Mr. Allen?" "If sho is doadl" "Dead! Dead! I never thought of that" "I bavo. Indeed, I considered tho chances about even from tho first." "I hope sho isn't I do hope sho is noti" Tho Superintendent rejoined them now. "Ah. Mr. Caper," said tho last speaker, "I dare say your admirable system is carried out even to the grave?" "6irl I do not exactly catch your moan inn." . "Whv, suppose one or more members 'of a family die, you have a record that I would be accepted in court as con elusive. " To bo sura Do yon wish to look at tho mortality record?" Mr. Capor was all smiles again as be led the way to his room. "Here, gentlemen. You soe how It is. " "Hum," said the ruddy-faced visitor. turning over the pages whereon the record was spread. "Hum. I see here several children some very young. Here is ono called what is It? It looks liko J. Bnt it can't bo Joe. " Mr. Capor lookod ovor his shoulder. and suddenly formed a resolution. It was ono of those llghtning-llko projocts formed in a flash of time rarrlod out on tho spur of tho moment. "It is Joe an abbreviation." Mr. Allen looked at him Inquiringly. "Joe stands for Josephine in this case." "Ah!" "Yes. She was, as you soe, agod four teen." "Just so. I see. No other name?" "No. But she was, I am satisfied, en titled to a name. 1 ve forgotten the story. Hor mother was here, you know." "Was she, indeed?" "O, yes. Diod here. You can seeback here is the date of burial and death." "Curious mother and child. Mother no name?" "Well that's the curious part of it Whore tho story came In. But sho never would confess novor did. We called her Mrs. Simpson, and sho never said yes or no. " ' Mr. Alleu's companion looked at him. Mr. Allen apparently was meditating. The companion could not resist the temptation to ask tho question that was shaped in his mind. "Was she did Mrs, Simpson look like a lady?" "A lady! Hwnphl You could buy all she'd on hor for three dollars less money." "What my friend means, Mr. Caper. Is, did sho impress you as a woman who might have seen better times wero her manners those of a woman who had moved in good society?" "Manners! Woll. sho a ways seemed to me ono of tho kind that somehow thinks themselves bettor than everybody else," answered the Superintendent shortly. Mr. Allen turned to his friend, thou he made s, note ot tho demise of .loo. Koither he nor lU friend nor tho Superintendent observed a boy's bead that appeared once or twice at tho door. "I suppose wo may as woll go," said the quiet-spoken visitor to Mr. Allen. "Yes. Wo are much obliged to you, Mr. Caper, for your kindness." Tho visitors walked out of the main hall, and, bidding the Superintendent good -afternoon, rodo away. "You think you are awful cuto; awful smart, Mr, Allen. Well, you ain't It was pretty closo nipping, but I'm one ahead of you in this game Thought you'd pick her right up thought nobody was onto your litt'o game, but I know a racket worth two of that Sho's buried now dead and buried, Mr. Allen. You've made a note out too. You've seen the record it's In black and whlto hero for you. Oh, you're awful cuto cute as a piece of punk, or a door-knob, or a goal in'. I've thrown you so far off the scent your grandchildren can't find It, and I'm only a plain, uneducated man, tryin' to grease my way through the world with no education to speak of." Mr, Caper re-enterod tho house with a wicked smile on his bloodless Hps. As ho looked about the hall and out in the grounds, he bethought himself of the boy. Walking to a side door, and addressing a man there, ho said: "Where's Dick?" "I don't know, sir." "Well, I want you to find him. I'll gl' O you just two minutes." The man hastened away. Within the time allowed 'him, ho returned with a frightened look. "Well?" demanded tho Superintendent "I I can't can't find him. " "Can't!" "He's he's gono, sir." "Gone! Gone!" iY-y-yes, sir. Clean gone." Tho poor creature cowered before the awful glare the Superintendent bestowed upon him. "Who says Dick's gone?" "The cook soon him, and the carpenter seen hirt, and the " "Saw the devil! Where did they see htm why didn't they stop him? why didn't they como and tell me?" "They did bnt you was talking to the gentlemen." "Woll, where did Dick go?" "Ho ran across tho back field, ollmbed over the fence, Jumped on a horse in tho lane, and ho's gallopod off to town." "To town! I'll have him back in an hour. And when I get him Mr. Caper gritted his teeth as he hastened to the stable, saddled a horse with his own hands, thrnst a hrfrlln nvnr hfa 1 head, and mounting him In great haste, rode to Barnosvllle like a madman, cursing himself, Dick, the carpenter, the cook, and everybody In Barnesvllle poorhouse.

might be Dick and It might be a boy going to mill. No matter who he was, Caper was determined to'stop him short or head him off. Ho halloed with all his might, but tho wind blow his voice back In his tooth. Thon he whipped his horso again. The horse was galloping; he gallopod at least five or six minutes at a rate that threatened to unseat the rider. Then ho losfunod his ripecd. The fiif ui'O on liorMdback seamed to be hastening his speed, too. Ho increased his speed until It wa plain that Capor eould not roon ovt-rtako him as long as ho kept on the toad. Then Capor looked foi a low plac In the fence to his right, dismounted, shoved tho top rails aside, led his horsd through the opening, remounted madly, and pursued Dick. It was p'aln now that Dick was on the hor-io ho t-aw. Ho was urging his horse to his utmost speed. Caper's horso was much tho swiftest In a few minutes more ho would overtake Dick. Capor shouted to him, but Dick only urged his horso the faster. Dfck was riding a horse without bridlo or saddle. Some mon in a field, fancying the man and boy were racing, shouted encouraging words to Dick as he flew past headlong. "Uo it, young 'unt Go It, old man! Go It, both of yon!" Ono man cut a switch, stopped out and handed It tn Dick, and Dick whipped his horso up lively. His horso spurted ahead again, and thon Caper swore nntil the air turned blno. At lat, when man and boy wero near each other, Dick looked back and saw murder in his pursuer's face. Murdor looked out of his eyes. Murder was lined In his firm mouth. Above all. murdor was expressed in tho forward pilch of Caper's heat. Dick knew only too woll what it iwant when Capor hold his hoad down and woll forward. The devil always goaded him to desperation then. Dick knew, and more than one in Barnosvllle knew, that murder was done more than once whon Caper rushed at his victims with his head down like a bull charging and lunging in his, blind rago. "Will you stop now?" No." The horses spurted under tho drivers whips again. "Stop, i toll you. "I'll dio first Even as ho spoke, Dick's horse stumbled, foil, and came within an ace oi rolling ovor in a gully upon Dick. In a moment Dick was on his foot, and running as fast as his legs could carry him. Caper overtook him and triod to ride him down, but his horse shied. Thon Caper tried to hit tho boy with the butt of his whip. The handlo grased Dick's shoulder. "Stop, you devil's imp!" Dick did not heed him. "Stop!" Dick tried to climb ovor a fonco. Capor was off his horse in an instant Ho grasped Dick by the leg. Dick kicked violently with aU his might His foot struck Caper square in tho month. Tho blow loosened two of tho Superintendent's tooth, and tho devil in him was unloosed, too, by the same blow. "Now I'll kill you, you whelp." He pu''o'l Dick off the fence; but the boy was suppl a id full offiro. He hit Caper a stiuglng blow in o no Ith his fists as he was falling ou tho ..::. .. Yh. blow amazed dnmfounded Caper, lleforo ho could grasp Dick again the boy was several yards from him. Capor ran after htm. Murdor was in evory line of his face, nis expression was sci horrible thot Dldr gave himself up for lost But hi resolved to sell his Iifu'as doarly a possible. "Say your prayers, you brat! It's tho last chance you'll evor have!" Dick's glance f e 1 on a large, smooth, round stone. His hand was as swift as his eye. Ho stooped suddenly, picked up the stone, and just as Capor was within a few foot of him, threw it with all his might at him. The stone struck Caper on the head. Ho foil liko a sack, all abroad, on the clay road. Dick, dreading lost he was playing a trick, stood off, looking at him. Then he approached him, and observed him intently. It it was aotlng, it was marvelous. But thero was a tiny stream of blood on tho ground. " The sight of tho blood unnerved Dick. "What If I have killed him!" The thought that- Capor was only prevented from murdering him did not occur to Dick until he satisfied himself, by putting a hand slowly, timidly on Caper's head, that tbe Superintendent of Barnovlilo Poorhouse was not "playing possum." "I'm sorry! Bnt If I hadn't hit him whoro'd I bo now?" And Dick shuddered at tho recollection of Carter's murderous expression. He lifted Caper's hand. The hand fell limp on tho gronnd. Ho turned Caper's fa-e up. It was oalo and cold deadly co'd. "I'vo killed him I'vo murdered hfm!" said Dick aloud. Then ho cried; ho looked at tho fallen man; at tho road, up and down; across the fields. No human boing was in sight "They'll hang mo! They'll say I did it on purpose. Nobody will bcllovo mo. I'll bo tried and the preacher will talk to me, and the a I'll be hung." Dick wsi In a paroxysm of terror. Ho knelt bestdo Caper, fo't his heart and his hands. He evon opened Caper's oyos. Hut there was no sign of life, Dick looked at his horse, scampering away on tbe road. Thon at the horso Capor rode, Uo thought quickly voi-y quickly. Presently he mado up his miud. "I'll run away no use giving myself up to bo hung. I'll go as far as I can and koop going. I m sorry it happened. 'cos I wanted to go and see Joo at that farm house. But I daron't now I must skip out mighty quick." Ho turned to Caper's horse, turned Its hoad toward the poorhouse, hit it smart' y with a switch, and watchod It trotting back home. Then Dick ran swlfty across a field; skulking, dodging, looking backward as ho ran, in apprehension. But there was no ono In sight When ho reached tho edge of tho field, ho entered a fringe of timber land, and suddenly disappeared from vlow. TO III COKTIHl'aD.J, Early Hen la Tribes. There is every evidence that the earliest men in our acorn and clameating anoestry who may hare lived a quarter of a million years ago, and probably four times as long ago did not live in families nor' merely as individuals, but as tribes, or in flocks or droves, or in a gregarious manner. The tendency of most animal is to live together in numbers. The family as a unit in our present society is no doubt a very modern feature. Early men worked and hunted and lived in common. All of the very lowest races of men are found living in tribes today, The cannibals of Africa do so; the Eskimo of the Arctic regions live in bands, and the wild Indians oi North and South America do tho same thing. The closer bnt more complex combination of men in modern oivil society makes man gregarious in better senses than in the childhood of the raoo, and in such combination he finds all the advantages of what we term modern life. Tribal as well as individual whim or caprice have given way to rules and regulations called law, and oivilized men now live on vastly higher levels tnan ever oeiore. A recent census bulletin shows that tho traflio on tho great lakes for tho year ending June HO, 188S), amounted to the carrying of a million tons freight week- This freight was chiefly ore, grain and lumbar, And t w M l W iftitngY

The Baala or the Colombia. ftntil a few years since stock-raising was tho principal industry of the great treeless region of Eastern Oregon and Washington; bnt it has now been demonstrated that wheat of" the best cmalitv can be surely and successfully

1 Lgrown over a large area of the country, 'ifaiid that, too, as cheaply as anywhere in the world. The unnon-grass, unlike tno prairie-grass of tho Western States, forms no sod or turf, does not need "breaking," and the first ploughing will produce a crop. We ask if it is profitable. Hitherto transportation charges consequent upon tho many handlings at the different portages have not left much margin of profit to the producer. The Columbia, open on a tidal level from the ocean to the Cascades, is there obstructed by the first cataract, a fall of twenty-five ot thirty feet, which is passed by a railroad 'portage of six miles, necessitating the handling of gram twice, from boat to ear. Another stretch of river reaches to the Dallas, the second cataract, passed by a rail portage fif teem miles long, requiring again the twice handling of grain, making, with the transfer at each end from warehouse to ship, at least six handlings. The expense of these numerous transhipments is be ing rapidly reduced. The Oregon and Navigation Company have already completed a line of rails from the Dallas to Wr.lla Walla, and are constructing feeders in all directions from the main artery to tap the grain-growing country. They are also rapidly building from tho Dalles down to the Cascades, and preparing their line from the latter place down the river to Port--land. The Northern Jfaoiflo are also pushing with great energy their continential line from the mouth of Snake, river eastward toward Lake Pend Oreille and the pass of the Bitter Boot mountains. The great need of all new countries, the railroad, will soon supply tbe rapid transportation of all that a new country wants. Transportation charges have already been reduced where railroad connections have cheapened the handling, and tho whole farming and grain-growing interest has brightened up at the encouraging prospects of the near future. Ono is astonished to see the immense numbers of farming and harvesting implements and machinery, in aU their glory of fresh red and green paint, crowding the boats and trains on their way to the front of civilization. And yet this country has barely been wrested from the control of the Indian, and he still makes spasmodic attempts to check tho overpowering flood of whites. Let us not suppose that all the advantages are on the side of the farmor, for thero are some drawbacks and disadvantages which prevent a man from being an optimist. To enumerate some of these, wo will find thai water is not abundant, and often of poor quality, and the absence of forest growth makes lumber expensive. The winds blow with great force in summer months, and carry clouds of sand and dust flying through the air. The nights on the highest lands are cool, and occasional frosts are liable to occur. Nothing, however, seems to prevent the growth of wheat, one season's crop often taxing .the carrying capacity of boats and trains to the utmost.
