Mr, Keed aald he could not any with any oertainty how noon the property would bo turned over to Ita new ownert , but he thought the change in manage ment would probably take place on Feb ruary 1, next. In the meantime the mill will be enlanted and new tnaohliv ery added, to that when the new ownert etep in they can commence doing buai nets on n larger scale at once. Mr. Heed will be the local manager of the concern. and will personally anperintend the mill, lie is an etDerienced man, hav Ing been in the lumber business since 1HH7.

NlVr ItAILIlOAD. Jforthera Hnld to be Looking for North Slier Tcrmluus. The Northern Pacific surveyors are at work making a preliminary survey from Pe 1, in Ohebalis county, to the head waters of Cray' river. They are very reticent to giving any information a to where they will tap the Columbia river. It is certain, however, that the N. P. dosircs to have terminus on tho Lower Columbia river, and the survey now being made from its South bond branch in the direction of the Columbia makes It certain that it will only be a matter of short time before It line of road will reach there. There are only two point wiiich are feasible, Cutiilamet and Frankfort, " It Is now a question as to which place will be selected, and the problem will not be solved until the sur-, veys are eomnleted. The company Is desirous of tapping the fine body of timber on the headwaters of Gray's river, and in the meantime reach the Lower Columbia. This road will mean great deal to . the residents of the Gray's river valley, as it will give them market on the Sound for thoir products. Cathlainet Gazette. IS MT. BAKER SMOKING? There is considerable comment on Puget sound over the statement that Mt. isaker is smoking, and it long extinct crater has again awakened into life. Whether this is true remains to be seen, but the fact remains that the story ha been told and given considerable cre dence. For the most part the so mm it of the mountain at this time of year is hiddm bv clouds and duririe a momen tary break In this cap several days ago a number of persona claimed they saw large volumes of smoke rolling Iroiri the top of tbe mountain. 1 To the credulou the situation pre sents itself as follows: The mountains along the coast range have all at some time been active volcanoes. It la be lieved that they are connected with the satmrnndorlying caldron of lava, and that when it cooled sutllciently to cease the flow of one the rest quieted, also, and finally died altogether. The recent earthquake in Utah, it I believed, may have awakened these subterranean tires into life again and caused the craters to moke. THE FIRST THANKSGIVING. Tbe fishermen were ordered "to scour the seas for spoil," the hunters "to shoulder their matchlocks and bring in such game at would allow the Mayflower colony in a more special manner to re joice togemer." me resnit was a sup ply of wild turkey, deer, bear, and game of every sort and in such abundance as to amply feed tbe colony for a week. They had as guests the friendly chief, Masao- soit, and ninety of bie Indians. The Indian contributed to the feast deer and "a great basket of oysters." This was the introduction of the young colony to iu afterward favorite shellfish, and the women cooked them as they beat knew how. The menu of that immortal dinner haa not. alas, been preserved . ...... . . . j , . out It is Known tout tne two umooa uiunt fully aonreciated by the Indians, as well as tbe Americans, were tbe "brown roast turkey" and the pumpkin pie, The feast of the week was outdoors, for the air was balmy and the sun bright. Massosolt was there in all the bravery of a scarlet coat, trimmed with Inca and a copper chain, given him some time pre vious, by lwiwara wmsiow. in a atranvn medlev of Indian sarb and borrowing of European costume, tbe guest of honor was feted and enter tained, cementing there the bond of friendship with the white settlers which held good forty-one years.

Tha ilanadian annle growers, who have made more of a study of the apple export trade than any others, are con. ui.l..rinc, nmonu other things, the de sirabilitv of finding more choice late- kimii aoolea. The best export prices for apples are paid late in the winter season, and it la at this time that the supply ia small and quality poor. Most of our winter arJpics have then lost their firmness of texture and eating qualities. In spite of improved cold storage, they do not retain their quality as we would wish. The Question of producing a new variety of late-keeping apples is one that concerns every apple grower in this country. If such a variety could be produced or evoivea oat oi mo uiotcu. varieties in use, it would add millions to our export trade in apples. In Canada tre power are making earnest effort to find such a variety by crossing several ol the Russian apples on native stock. The trouble seems to be that most of the Russian apples are rather inferior in slue and variety, iuey nave exceiiein awn ing qualities; in fact remaining hard and green until almost spring time; but they are neuner nice aim juicy, suwumu. nor delicate in flavor. Yet the best of these varietiea have a certain flavor which teem to indicate a future for them. The too-general di9pa8emont ' t,,eln seems. to be aue to ine vi iuuiuui. patience to test them uiorougniy. xne right sort has certainly not yet been found, or at least the right cross has not yet been made with any of them. Nevertheless there are possibilities in this direction that may yet revolutionise Apple growing for late winter export in .i fl ,u on. I Panada. With the mb wi j vr--;- ... J varieties possessing an inn nurumcno late-keeping qualities, it iui. than probable that the other virtues .k.,i,f in lima hn added to them by persistent grafting and grafting with out .,hnli native stock.
