I spoke to the Hudson Buy Factor

cured in low water. 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

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. Th horse
pulls the cars until we get to the top
of the hill then the horse walkes up
on the last car and We all coast down
to Grande Rapids and Lake Winni

PHENOMENON ADMIRED.
Electrical Display Saturday Night
Beautiful and Impressive.
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,

Certain-teed

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 :

CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is made in rolls; also m-,'

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). Experience proves
that it outlasts the period of guarantee.
