Crossing the FUilns. (Remembrances of Fifty Years Ago.) ar back in life my thoughts do roam oyouthhood's morn.when leaving home Ei eighteen hundred and fifty one eft Michigan home for Oregon. Cwas on the sixteenth day of May vnd ah prepared to go away. ome solemn thoughts impressed my mind .',., f leaving relation and friends behind. Vagon's in line and whip in hand e left our home for a distant land, 'ears from many eyes did flow Nearly fifty years ago.

I'er wide prairies green and gay 'o old Missouri we made our way, Vnd there we took a winter's rest, n May again we started west n,on we went with courage meant 'or Oregon, with full intent, 'hrough storms and swollen streams did go Nearly fifty years ago.

Che snow-capped peaks in the far away Ye could see as we journeyed from day to day. i'he eu.:beams shown on the glittering enow As we raP d them by fifty years ego. i?ravr s, we daily passed them by. The dead in solitude do lie Far in the lonely desert waste, No tombstones mark their resting p.ace. That lonely night in the desert wilds Through sand and dust for forty miles slowly and silently we moved along With joyful hearts did greet the morn. It dawn of day in advance we seen The sparkling waters of the river green. Poor anxious brutes lenewed their speed To quench their thirst, they did indeed. The Indian mounted for his hunting ground, tVith treacherous eyes they vitwed ui round, ill equipped with quiver and bow t'hey paased us by fifty years ago. Che howl of the wolf with its piercing thrills , h some lone vale or in distant hills U midnight hour did resound the cho, .emembrance of fifty years ago. , tn thope vaet extended plains p'ar in the distance could see the trains Vloving onward, sure, but slow Nearly fifty years ago.

We journeyed on through wvge and dust; The patient ox on' him did trust, Vith weary limbs and sunken eve, vlany would lay them down and die.

Charmai A Co. SPREAD OF IRRIGATION. Artificial Water Snpplr Not a Thin For the Weil Alone. The great drought of this summer has been tn the nature of an eye opener to many who have hitherto passed un-1 thfnklngly over the subject of lrriga- tlon. Nature herself appears to be pushing Irrigation by effectual, If Indi rect action. Professor Elwood Mead, the government expert and one of the high authorities of the country In this matter, recently gave some evidence before the Industrial commission at Washington which Is certainly Inter esting In view of the" weather condi tion referred to. Two-fifths of the. area of the United States would be benefited by Irriga tion, In Professor Mead's opinion. i Irrigation Is coming to be considered the common adjunct to market gar dening along parts of the Atlantic coast. It Is not asserted that it Is necessary to the farms of these re-; gions lu order to grow fair crops of truck, but that It will enable the land to do Its very best. Irrigation In Texas and Louisiana has advanced by astounding bound's and Is the cause of Increased land val ues. In other quarters of the humid re gions the value of systematic artificial irrigation that may double crops and make tliera a sure thing Is pressing It self upon progressive men. To Professor Mead and other scien tists Is attributed the opinion that if the region of the Missouri, Platte and Arkansas valleys, particularly-western Kansas, Nebraska and Indian Territo- ry, could be adequately irrigated Its ag-! rinnltnrnl nrnrlnntinn wn.,M h rlcultural production would be some thing astounding. Instead of provok Ingly varying In quantity from year to year, from the so called banner season downward through all the gradations to almost nothing In the extremely bad ones, which not unseldom occur, by Irrigation agricultural production would not only be enormously Increased, but maintained at an unvarying high stand ard of quantity and quality. It Is sel dom the farmers of those regions, say the scientists, have too much rain, but they nearly always have too Uttle. Even In their best crop years their re turns would be greatly enhanced by In creased water applied with more equa bility. Professor Mead says, as quoted by an exchange: "The system In this country Is In Its Infancy, and naturally more or less crude and uncertain. Within few years' no American farmer with land capable of Irrigation and water avail able will dream of putting In a crop of wheat and corn without the facilities to artificially water it when needed. "But one of the best features of .Irri gation Is the Increased value It gives to agricultural lands. Under the be nign influence of a reliable water sup ply, areas which previously were worth less wastes have suddenly come to rep resent fortunes. Even farms Intheolder states, already very valuable under or dinary conditions, will be Immediately and largely enhanced In market value by artificial Irrigation." A GATE WORTH TRYING. A Correspondent Warrant It to Cloae Itaelf and Stay Closed. I send you the following sketch of a gate that will absolutely close Itself SELF CLOSING CUTE. and stay closed. Take any ordinary gate and attach hinges as shown (to be made from old wagon or buggy tire), Just so tho same will work easily on the post. Then attach trace chain at brace A and also to post at B on re verse side from gate. By opening the gate the chain Is wound around the post, raising the gate about eight Inches. It will closo by Its owu weight. Tho hinges are cheaply and easily mode and attached, using only two eiunll bolts on each. If people will adopt this hinge and method of swing ing a gate, they will have no further trouble by having gates left opeu. I have used three now for four years and have had no trouble. Before It was nearly Impossible for me to keep them closed. The gate Is suspended by the chain, and the brace nt A Is for the purpose of letting the weight come on all four slats and should be about IS Inches from the rear of the gate. Cor. Farm and Hunch. Some Thluc Alfalfa Old. At the Laramlo (Wy.) station the value of alfalfa harvested from one half acre of hind for five years was about ?j0 more than the cost of pro ducing It. The value of potatoes and grain from an adjoining half acre for five years was about if II more than the cost of producing It at local prices. When the alfalfa land was plowed and planted to wheat, It produced $3 to fl'2 more value In wheat per acre than the land which had grown pota toes and grain before. v When alfalfa land was plowed and planted to potatoes. It gave $lti worth more of potatoes per acre than was obtained from land which had crown potatoes and grain before. By growing alfalfa the above In crease of yields and value was pro duced with absolutely no eust for fer tilizing the laud. , ORBGON - CITY COURIBI-HBFALDr FRIDAY,- NOVEMBER ASTMJ5IA CURE.-FKEE 'Asthmalene Brings Instant Relief and Permanent Cure In All Cases KENT ABSOLUTELY FREE ON RECEIPT OF POSTAL CHAINED FOIl TEfl YEARS RELIEF.

One of the moBt helpful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that entitled "Nerve Waste," by Dr. Sawyer, of 8an Francisco, now In its fifth thousand. This work of an experienced and repu table physician is in agreeable contrast to the vast sum of false teaching which prevaiiB on this interesting subject. It abounds in carefully considered and practically advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sincerity. It is indorsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Ad vance says: "A perusal of the book an the application of its principles will put health, hope and heart into thousand" of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment." The book is $1 .00, by mail, postpaid.
