Last Tuesday at the mass band concert given at the Coliseum at the finale of Von Weber'a jubilee over ture, the band played "Hoil dir lm Sio A G-RA.ND RONDER.

And every creek is just alive with clams, hence the black pearl.-. After this little digres sion we will continue. . We left Chi- mahwyn one morning about 3 a. m., went down about mile of river, then entered the Cedar Lake and passed hundreds of 'beautiful little islands, and made for one one island called Fort Island. - Here we had bre.'.kfast and tH !j:ere was every prospect of it being a fine day the helmsman decid ed to make a straight cut across the lake te Rabbit Point, so wh.n grub was finished we stared, Jfl abgMirf hours time we wro eut ot sigh,t of land, just enough wind to'tnaka travel ing good. I 'had dozed ff but wag -rudely awakened by a douse of cold Water. What was my surprise . on looking around me, to find white wat er, and a regular little gale blowing. I could see the men looked anxious and by my compass I saw, we were running due north instead of south east. I saw we were making for a small island right ahead of us and about three miles off. Say, I was proud of that halfbreed helmsman: he sure could handle that boat. I spoke to him about the storm and he told me they come up very suddenly and sometimes they have had to lay up for a week behind same island, and the wy we whipped around that island showed me that that man was a good navigator even if he was an f ndjan, but luck wag in our way, we pijly laid up for about as long as it took to cook and eat a good dinner, when we nosed our way out again. The wind had again shifted so up went tb aiis SUA W headed 11. t A - o-u ovum con. - out o:30 we were il Rabbit Point and headed down the Narrows, stopping at uull island for the night. I had had my supper and was just on the point of rolling into my blanKets wnen i nonce-, the Indians and- their women had all disappeared. I was curious and so got up. I could hear someone talking praying to God to take them through the rapida and land them safe at Grande Rapids, etc.. etc. So I got suspicious and strolled down to thp wntpr'a edce and threw Into the water a piece of bark and could easi that there was quite a little current. I went back and rolled into bed and slept. They woke me up at dav break. 2:30 a. m. had some breakfast and hot coffee and got aboard. The sails were furled and everything was made ship shape. Then in a little while we could hear n sullen roar. The helmsman told me that these were not the worst rapids, and there was only a fall of 6 feet between Cedar Lake and Cross Lake, then an tight foot fall between Cross Lake and the mouth ot the river, tnen 10-foot fall over the Roche Rouge Rapids. While he had been talking we came in sierht of the ran'ds. we steered right down the center and the boat was shot through just like a cork. Then after a run of about three miles we passed tho Calico Rapids. They were mild. Then we were into Cross Lnke. after a run of eight miles wo hit the mouth of the river. Talk about a roar, the noise was beyond descrip tion, and I will admit I was feeling a bit anxious myself. We passed one small rapid, the boat must have 'been traveling at about 14 miles or more an hour, we sure were going some, ibut our helmsman sure knew what ho was about. He took us through a side channel where the rocks stood up as thick as the bristles on a hog's back, then a plunge and back into the main river. He called out, "look behind". 1 turned and saw the river about three hundred yards wide fall ing a sheer ten-foot drop, it was beau tiful, here the river was running like a mill stream straight for the Grande Rapids, a fall of one hundred and two feet in seven miles, but we will not try that, we just head for the landing stage, load qui1 bolonglng on the horse trnln for the Hudson Bay Post and Settlement at the foot of Grartde Rapids, seven miles away.

Man Grande Ronde valley people nomenon in the heavens beginning with a beautiful aurora borealis early in the evening and ending with a heavenly "fireworks" in the nature of a zodiacal lights. The whole north ern heavens were lighted up by the ever-shifting rays of brilliant light early in the evening. Later on these disappeared and in their stead ap peared a rainbow-like light across the zodiac from east to west. This light ed up the night even more decisively than the early display. In numerous instances those who first discovered the lights called their friends and from all parts of La Grande the spectacle was closely watched during the several hours it prevailed. Concerning the celestial display the Oregonian today said: Dr. William Conger Morgan, pro fessor of chemistry at Reed college, did not observe the display, and from accounts is uncertain whether the au rora bcrealis was on parade or wheth er sheet lightning was mildly in evi dence as the offspring of an excessive ly warm day. Dr. Morgan said he had seen only one showy display of the au r.o;a in a latitude so . far south ns Northern Oregon. This was the cele brated one in the early '90s, wheji the sky scintilnted nightly for ' weeks above the northeast part of the United States and above Eastern Can ada. "Probably not three times in 100 years is there st magnificent a spec tacle of th aUrora as was that," said Dr. Morgan, "lt'8 the corona of the sun," learn edly pronounced some Portland ob servers. "It's electrons," said others, although the majority clung to the more familiar explanations of the au rora borealis and sheet lightning. Yet the corona, the electron and the auro ra factions may all have been right, according to Dr. Morgan, who said: "The corona of the sun is believed to be finely divided matter sent out from the sun to a great distance and ordinarily invisible because it is over whelmed by the vastly greater light of the parent body and of the moon. When the sun is far in tho south the competition of its light sometimes lessens to a degree that permits the corcna to be seen, when other condi tions are right. There has been much talk in recent years of electrons also, and it is a reasonably acceptable theo ry, though not an established fact, that the phenomena of the corona of electrons, and of the aurora borealis are cne and the same. "I question whether last night's brilliancy was that of the aurora 'borealis. A mild electrical display, due to the unwonted heat, is more probably what it was. The cause of generation of electricity and of the re sultant visible evidences of it under 3ucn circumstances is not definitely known by scientists." Scientists differ somewhat upon the variation in heights of the aurora. Dr. Alfred Wegener, a contributor to astronomical discussioms, estimates the rar.ge to be from 4,'l to 250 miles, while Paulsen's estimate of the range is from the earth s surface up to 300 miles The aurora, according to Paul sen, at time appears below mountain summits nnd low-lying clouds, and at ethers is above the lofty cirrus clouds in far northern latitudes. Saturday night's rays are believed to have been lofty. An audoral drapery that is so high as to seem only a few yards wide may leally be 150 miles or more in width. the birds will be judged by compari son, and not strictly on a scoring basis. He also said that lectures and demonstrations will be given daily in connection with the show, and that for the first time in the history of the fair there will be a "sales class." . "This plan has been worked suc cessfully in the east and is well lilted,'' said Superintendent Fulmer in refer ring to the "sales class." "Such an event, put on year after year, could: be made a feature that would result: in making the poultry show a magnifi cent success. All the breeders of' birds are in favor of it."

Mediaeval architecture, crumbled by cannon, will be replaced by well-lighted, well-ventilated, convenient and sanitary buildings of the: present day. In this tremendous rebuilding, Certain-teed Roofing will play a leading role; for CERTAIN-TEED is the twentieth century answer to the demand for roofing that is economical to buy,, easy to lay and inexpensive : to maintain, CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is made in rolls; also m-,' ar,faced shingles. There is a type of CERTAIN TEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roof, from the largest sky-scraper down to the smallest residence or out-building. It makes a clean, sanitary, attractive roof, with a very low cost per year of life. It is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1 , 2 or 3).
