MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM,
Precast by Which It la ConvarUd
Into Refined 0t.
In ll orlglual state petroleum Is of a
oiurky green color. It U distilled la
(ihiis with great furnaces blailng be
neath them, and aa the vapors arid
frc the tolling liquid they are cou
vel Into pipe surrounded by cold
water in which they are condensed.
The first Tapors condetise luto naph
tha and those produced by further
beating give the burning oil. A very
mall percentage of tbe crude oil put
luto the pans or stills remains la the
form of Ur, which by another process
U couverted into paraffin und coke.
After distillation the refluod oil Is no
longer green, but Is as transparent as
ipring water and beautifully tinged
with purples and blues. It Is not yet
ready for use, however, since It must
be "washed." Tbe fluid Is emptied into
a large circular tank In which it is
treated with acids, these being poured
In and mixed with It by means of pow
erful pressure from beneath.
When it has been well shaken It is
allowed to settle, and the adds then
separate from it and sluk to the bot
tom of tbe tank, taking with them
some of tbe tar that remained In the
oil.
The acids are then removed and tbe
oil Is washed with salt water. Finally
it Is bleached, and It is then ready for
the market Harper's Weekly.
TIGER PROOF HOMES.
Malay Houte, Frail and Flimsy,
Sometimes Perch In Tree Tops.
Tbe ordlunry Malay house is built on
posts from five to seven feet high, but
one which I came across was perched
high up in a tree. It was the home of
a roan, his wife and family, and they
Informed me that It was placed In this
unusual situation so as to be out of the
way of the numerous tigers which then
Infested the neighborhood.
As tigers have been known to Jump
eighteen feet In vertical height some
where about twenty feet Is considered
to be the limit of safety. The Malnyao
hous? is a fruli and flimsy structure of
sticks tied together with rattan thatch
ed with palm leaves and walled with
plaited bamboo or, as in this case, with
tbe bark of trees.
It is therefore an easy matter for a
tiger with its great strength to break
Into a bouse and attack tbe Inhabitants.
Many instances of this have been re
corded in Malaya. In one well known
case a whole family were killed except
one man, who, climbing up into the
roof and thus escaping the notice of
the tiger, was a horrified observer of
tbe cruel mauling and ultimate slaugh
ter and devouring of his relatives.
London Strand Magazine.
Lit Without Microbe.
Microbes are not Indispensable to all
life if they are indispensable to any.
Tbe question has been definitely set
tled. A rage completely sterilized at
90 degrees was made and the open
ings of the cage closely stopped with
cotton and protected from tbe outside
by a hermetically closed metallic cham
ber. Such manipulations as were nec
essary in onlng the cage were made
by bands guarded by aseptic rubber
cloth. Into such a sterilized cage three
bens' eggs were placed after having
been externally sterilized. The cage
was fitted with a glass pavilion or
chicken run, where the chickens could
develop during their six weeks' sojourn
in the cage. In the cape were sterilized
air, pure water, sterilized sand nud
sterilized feed. Tbe exix'tiiiient showed
that life does not depend uxn mi
crobes, but that the vital work of the
organism Is easy and natural when
everything is sterilized. -Hurler's.
Ratio of Pdlorie.
Though the pillory bns been nbollsn
ed, there are still to be found In vari
ous parts of rural England relics of
this old time method of punishment.
One of the most complete examples
may be seen within a few nilics of tht
metropolitan border. In the pictur
esque village of Itoydon, Essex, not
only are tbe old stocks and whipping
post still preserved, but close beside
them stands also the wooden "cage"
In which the roysterer of bygone days
was incarcerated. Is there another
such Interesting trio of punitive relics
to be found elsewhere In Euglund?

CROP ESTIMATES
SOMEWHAT REDUCED
Owing to seveial conditions which
have developed since blossoming
time, local estimates on the apple
crop made earlier In the spring have
been reduced. It Is now estimated
that the local crop will Is- about 'K
per cent of the bumper yield per
acres of two years ago. The added
acreage In bearing trees this year,
howevtr, will bring the total yield
about up to that of010,lt Is now
estlm ated.
The l.lossoms this spring were re
markably heavy and untforinerly
distributed. This furnished good
grounds for the estimates which
were made at t hat time. However,
the cold weather which prevailed
during blossoming time and subse
quent to It hud the effect of Interfer
ing with the proper setting of the
fruit. The same causes had their ef
fect upon polleiihatlon ami as a re
sult the June drop, especlnll.v In some
sections of the valley, was unusually
heavy.
There Is still going to be a big
crop, probably about fi.-il,lMM boxes,
but the gigantic crop nt first pre
dicted bus trt-cn reduced about one
third on account of the conditions
given above.
THE DEE IRRIGATION
CANAL COMPLETED
The large Irrigation canal of the
)'-e Irrigation &. I'ower company
has Just Is-on completed. This Is one
of the most substantial systems In
the valley as flume construction has
lieen avoided. The ditch Is six miles
In length and the water Is taken
from the west fork of Hood river.
tver 1.1KXI acres can Is- supplied with
water from this canal. It passes'
through one of the most fertile orch
ard sections of the upper Hood lit V-
er valley, a portion of which has al
ready beeu brought under cultivation.

ROSEJITY TEAM
In the game played here Sunday
afternoon the Heights twlrlers ad
ministered a decisive defeat to the
fast Wlnton Six team of Portland,
score N 2. The Heights secured 10
hits, while the visiting boys got only
two. Hart and Hall were the local
battery, while Whltstane and Shay
did the work for the 1'ortland boys
A feature was the heavy hitting by
the local team, especially by (iessllng.
Hall and Hart. (Jessllng secured :i
two-baggers, while Hart batted I0O0.
The fielding by the Heights was es
pecially' good, only one error being
chalked up against them. The ls

their pitcher failed to puzzle the local
stick wl-ldcrs.
Joe Carson, manager for the

After having visited many corners

A. A. Whitcomb, a native of New

visited this valley last week and de
clared that it Is the most beautiful
spot, according to his Ideas, that he
has ever seen.
"When I decided to return to tills
country I cam:' first to the Coast,
with which I have always been
most favorably Impressed Hav
ing heard much about Oregon, I
came here first ai.d must say that
I have been most agreeably sur
prised. As an outsider I believe that
I can appreciate better than you
who live here what the future of the
state Is and I expect to see an un
precedonted development during the
next ten years. I don't think you
have begun to develop the great re
sources of this state. So far as
Hood Klver Is concerned, it Is the

LUMBER TRADE AT
MOSJER IS BRISK
That t lie general trend of business
Is upward In the Mosler district, dr.
spite the prevailing impression that
times are dull because this Is a "pres
idential year," Is evidenced In several
ways, principally, perhaps, by the
amount of lumber which the Tiim-A-
I. mil Company has sold recently.
F. A. Itace, resilient manager of 1 he
company, reports that, b-shles two
carloads of lumber already delivered
to Fd I.. Howe to be used Iu erecting
one of the finest and most complete
apple houses Iu that section, he has or
dered two cars of lumber and one of
cement for Dr. ICobluson, who will
also build an apple house, one car of
lumber for H. M. West's warehouse
and a car for C. A. I lage's vinegar
factory. This, of course, Is aside
from the retail trade.
