I aee no re-won why the Columbia river,

Inland le approximately 75,000,000 feet,
end all of that comee from the Paclllo

Honolulu nearly all of hi lifetime, and

and we will oome pretty near getting

aura that it eoet no more to turn out

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

Ing been in the lumber business since
1HH7. He was lately connected with the
Oakland Lumber Company and has had
considerable experience in shipping
lumber to Honolulu, ear trie nan three
years he has spent a good portion of his
lime in Portland and on the Columbia,
with the intention of eventually locat

With the soccer. of the plan outlined
It will Income necetwarv to engage a

throughout the United ritatre. At the

brand of shingle received the bronse

received, Fluhrer' have been making
an excellent quality of shingles for
many years, always aiming to put out
a arst-claes shingle, but without hope
of reward further than a conscientious
de-Ire to give all they got paid for, As

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.

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

of a scarlet coat, trimmed with Inca and

vious, by lwiwara wmsiow. in a

LATE-KEEPING APPLES.
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.
