2 THE5H00D RIVER NEWS) WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1912 GROTESQUE STUPIDITY. tern of Stanley's Experience With the African Natives. The natives of central Africa are de scribed l.y tho lute Sir Henry M. Stan ley In bU autobiography at being In credibly stupid. He tells, for exam ple, of one uutlve wbo, with a not hot tun ii, wus scut la a cant across a river to fetch a company of men to ramp. After waiting an hour Stanley vent to the river, where he found the two papillitis each la an opposite direc tion and blaming the other for hU stu pidity. They were in a passion of ex MtMincnt and quite unable to bear the id vice of the men across the river, who were bawling directions to them how to manage their ennoe. Another stupid fellow was generally saved from punishment because bis mistakes were so absurd. One day we were floating down the Kongo. Near camping time, as he happened to be bow man, I bade him stand by and when I called out seize the grass on the bank to stop the boat In a little while we came to a fit place, and I crh-d, "Hold bard. Klrango"' "Please God. master," be replied and forthwith sprang on shore and seized the grass with both bands while we, of course, were rapidly swept on down stream. The leaf's crew roared at the ridicu lous sight Nevertheless his stupidity cost the tired men a hard pull up river. for not every place was availuble for camp. ICEBOUND ANTARCTICA. Twice as Large as Alt Europe Is the South Polar Continent. The antarctic continent has been es timated to be at least twice as large as Europe. The evidence of paleom tology Is to the effect that Antarctica was once connected with the more northern lands, at least with Sooth America, and that In prehistoric ages some tremendous convulsion of the earth's crust resulted in the sinking- of the "submarine" floor, until In some places it Is now 4,000 fathoms, or more than four miles below the sur face. All around the great land mass of this continent there Is a deep ocean bed cutting It off from every other land of the earth and setting It apart as a region more unlike the rest of the globe than any other continent or Island. Explorations have proved that In times before the advent of man upon the earth this most southern land bad a temperate or even a warmer ell mate. There are fossils, both animal and vegetable, which Indicate this. The formation of the rocks In Antarc tlca also Is of volcanic origin and vol canic activity, notably in the case of Mount Erebus, which is not yet ex tinct A vast mountain range, per haps at one time a continuation of the Andes, exists in Antarctica.

At the battle of Monterey, In the Mexican war, our troops were able to command the streets of the city with their artillery, but they experienced much difficulty in driving the Mexicans from their bouses. Accordingly, as the city was built of stone or adobe, the Americans broke through the walls from one bouse to another, fighting and driving out the enemy as tbey proceed ed. Thus, it appears, the battle of Monterey was largely fought Indoors In the time of William the Silent, when the Netherlands were fighting the Spaniards, a number of Spanish vessels became frozen In on the Zuy der Zee. Out came the Putcb on horse back on the ice to attack the Span- lards. This Is probably the only battle of record wherein cavalry was em ployed directly against a naval forca There have been battles fought lj dergrouud Chlefect of these was the fierce encounter iertaltjln to the lege of Haarlem In the Dutch wars The Spaniards mined and the Dutch countermined with equal Industry, and below the ground a terrlUc conflict en sued. When, after the commune, the Ver sallies trxsjps took Paris they chased certain of the communist forces to the great sewers of the Trench capital, snd In these more than one sanguinary bat tle occurred New York Press.

The birds will eat por tions of m-rups from the table and In some cases wheat or cracked corn, but there seems to be 'thlng that they relish more than a pi 'it lef suet. This can 1 placed on t st!f or hung necurely lu a tree out of tltt, uow, and the birds can have access 10 It when ever they like. The planting of a tree Is often an en tirely unselfish act, for the chief value of It along the line of both fruit and hade rendu a maximum when the one w ho planted Is tins gone to his re ward. It Is so with the frees that used to mean so much to us ns children, and It may l true of the trees wo platit now, which will furnish fruit or shad for our children and their children.

The Investigation Into the Shell Kock project was following certain complaints by those who thought the county was assuming liability lu connection with the railroad and who thought that the county was assuming an unwarranted expense. The grand jury's report dispelled these Ideas. County Judge Cast tier testified before them yesterday morn ing. They reported that great Injury Is being done the roads on account of WHITE SALMON IS TO J1EJIVERTED City Engineer I. M. Morse Inspect ed the work U-Ing done on the big dam across the river the last of the week. The first of three tunnels In the rock sides of the White Salmon river canyon, through which the (low of the stream Is to be diverted from Its regular bed while the big dam of the Northwestern Klectrlc Company Is building, wns completed last week. This tunnel Is tietween PHI and li'i feet long. Is l.'i feet wide and eight feet high. Except for a few days In the recent Industrial Workers' strike nt the dam, which took L':r men off the Job temporarily, work has been carried on In this tunnel for a month, day atid night. With Its completion, double shifts are now driving the two other tunnels. One of these, up stream from the one just finished will be 170 feet long, and the other. lownstream, will be about "HO feet long. The tunnel gangs make about four feet a day through the rock, with Irlllers working from both ends. Some of the most expert hard-rock men In the Northwest (ire engaged In this tunnel work. Vfterthe three tunnels have been completed, which probably will lie within ,10 days, a wood Hume 1J feet u Me and six feet high will be built through them from thecofferdam up stream by which the river Is to be forced out of Its regularr channel, to the lower end of this water ' port age." The Hume Is necessary, for If the current were permitted to How against the rough sides of the tunnel the jagged rock projections would act as so tunny obstructions and beck the speed of Its flow. A the White Salmon Itself Is much wider than the tunnel, In order to get the same volume of water through the narrow Hume as Hows In the river high s-ed Is necessary. The nglneers of the Northwestern Elec trie Company expect to force the si renin through the tunnels at the rate of 1M feet a necond, nearly twice as fust as Its regular How. After the tunnels and Humes are completed, work will be started Im mediately on the huge concrete dam Itself. The News for good printing.

All UNCLE SAM IS NOW AFTER LAND SHARKS The chief of the I'nlted States Ilu reau of Plant Industry, Dr. 11. T Galloway, has called to the ntten tlon of the Secretary of Agriculture the Incraslng need for disseminating Information which will be helpful to the thousands of city people am others who are being encouraged to put their savings Into various lam selling, orchard growing, crop pro duclng propositions. Owing to the extensive advertising propngan da, many people with little or no knowledge of agricultural matters are being led to Invest money In projects which by no reasonable chance can Is? be made to pny the profits claimed for them. Secretary Wilson Is very much Interested In this matter and has Issued Instruc tions that full data be gathered In order that the department through Its publications and correspondence shall be In dlrt-t position to aid those who have been attracted by the promise of good Investments, but who would like to obtain reliable facts before taking action. ICE GETTING THIN. Individuals or conipfi nies that bar apples In storage wot Id do well to keep close truck of the markets and not be led to hold their stocks too long for n high price. Prices which have prevailed on retail markets for some weeks past h.ive been so high us to greatly reilm-e consumption of this fruit. The result of this situation Is that the total supply of apples avail able is fast nppronching the point where they will lie adequate to meet consumptive demands, it follows from this Inevitably that price tendencies will be downward and not upward whenever the point mentioned Is reach cd. Should present supplies be kept In storage for several months longer the law of supply and demand would In all probability tern to operate more rigorously and prices would tend to slump more violently. In view of the above it would be far better to market apples In the very near future nt good prices than to hold them several months and encounter a serious slump In prices at n time when stock on bund exceeded the demand.
