and While be was putting the horse up

would not be home that night. The
mother then went to the bouse, and
hen the bov come in he found a note
stating that she was going u ,ier'
self, at her husband did not care for her,
and that if she did not succeed that time
she would try again untill she succeeded
He immediately started to look for her
and found her just inside the outhouse

In a recent visit to Rainier the editor
of the Mist bad the pleasure of meting
Mr. W. Kennedy, one of the Hood River
men who have recently purchased stump
land in the Beaver Valley. Mr. Kennedy
bought eight hundred acres of stump
land and expects to clear 80 acres j early
and to put fifty acres iu Northern Spy
Gravenstein apples and Bettire d'Anjou
peart. He isclearing with a donkey ea-
giue and it takes about three d ij-s to
clear an acre, the expense being 73 per
acre. The land is thickly coveied with
heavy fir stumps, so that the figure given!
may be taken as a safe est mate of thej
cost of cleariug s'ump land iu this
county. Such men are of great value to
an v community as educator. They have!
learned their business in the school of
experience aud they understand it
thoroughly iu all its branches, from
clearing the soil to marketing the fruit i
iu such a maimer a to secure the high-j
est price. Th.-y will suiveed aud stimu
late others to success. Their presence
here is the surest evidence that it pays
a couutv to advertise its resources, as

induced to come to Columbia County by
