ALL BECAUSE OP TWO LEGS.
A howling-. Jostling-, uncontrollable
crowd fathered In front of a Spokane
tore this week, crowding each other
fighting for a front place, elbowing
their way through the Jam of people
nd taking chances on being crushed
to death all because a merchant had
placed two living models In the win
Oow, dressed In the new dlrectolre
gowns, exposing to view a portion of
the wearers' legs, says' an exchange.
Finally this mob of people became
auch a nuisance that It was dispersed
by the police and the merchant was
forced to take hla living models out
of the window out of sight of the de
4 praved public.
And all this In the year of our Lord,

man legs. I

goes frantic over it and people of re
fined tastes talk about It and sedate
old men and women dare to take a sly
quint In thnt direction when It Is on
display.
How silly It all seems when we think
of It In a sober manner. The human
legs sin nothing new. They are as old
as the human body and everybody
knows what they look like, what they
re made of. how they are attached,
nd how they work. There Is nothing
new about them.

raging torrent, then, ride down that
new railroad will be one fully as Inter
esting and fully as beautiful as that
afforded by the Columbia. The scen
ery then will differ from that of the
placid majesty of the Columbia in that
the swift stream is a continuous race,
and the canyon through which the
railroad winds Its way, more reduced
In space.
Albeit, there Is no Rooster rock, no
history-renown bridge, yet no one can
claim he has seen the beauty spots of
Oregon unless he , has traversed the
Wallowa extension at a time when the
place Is at Its best. . Even now there
are few places abounding in more
natural scenery than this same region.

river's edge the train becomes a veri
table snake. It winds around sharp
curves that make the passenger sit up
and shudder. : The curves are excep
tionally, frequent, too, and no sooner
Is one hazardous turn made than an
other suddenly heads the locomotive In
the opposite direction. On an ordi
nary train, the last coaches and the
locomotive are frequently visible from
the middle of the train simultaneously

riaki-r Hay Crop Good.
.With the gloo mof a few weeks ago
hovering over them a to poor crops,
ranchers In Powder valley who have
finished their hay harvest and those
who have become well along in the
work, have been subjected to a most
pleasant surprise, for from every hand
comes the report that the hay crop of
this section Is to be a big one, says the
Heradl.
On the old Garren ranch which Is
being farmed this year by J T. Mas
ters, It Is claimed there never has been
raised such splendid hay. Those car
ing for the crop state It la almost Im
possible to handle the heavy growth,
nd the sight that meets people's eves
who pasa the hayfleld Invariably causes
thorn to stop and Investigate. When
harvest hands first entered the fields
It was thought three tons tn th
would be a big crop, but as they start
ed the mowers they became convinced
that four tons to the acre ts s reason
able estimate.
Other ranchers report a similar
showing, and the Indications are that
hay will be very plentiful and of a
superior quality. And with this con
dition comes the Information from the
commission men at Portland that the
prices of hay this year will not be
high. It Is a known fact that nothing
has a tendency to regulate the nriea
of hay here as the prices paid for that
commodity In Portland. O. W. Pimp
son, one of the largest commission
men In the metrooplls, has Just fin
ished a trip through the hay-producing
regions of Idaho, where he contracted
for several hundred tons at $8. billed
and loaded. This price was for the
highest grade, and for the averase
grade he contracted fur $7; ue also
mnde a tour of Powder valley, but
made no contracts here.

Though it Is doubtful if so many
