The more I see of the great use made
of such liquid highways as the Thames,
the Seine, the Rhone, the Garonne and
other rivers over here, the more X am
convinced that Portland can only find Its
best development through the use of her
Inland and coastal waterways. Why we
can not have, as in the eld days, ships
plying between Portland and South
America and the Orient. I can not un
derstand. The practical Influence of light and
light rays of all sorts and colors upon
living things Is, of course, enormous,
particularly in the vegetable world,
where the energy of the sunlight, turned
Into heat and growth-force by the green
chlorophyll of plant leaves and stems,
literally builds tho herb and the shrub
and the tree, which Is why plants "spin
dle" In poor light and refuse to grow In
the dark.
Though our own and other animal
bodies cannot "eat" sunlight directly,
but have to take -It at second hand bot
tled up In the shape of starch, sugar,
fat and other foods of vegetable origin,
yet a certain amount of light must be
absorbed directly and our human flow
erets grow almost as badly In the ab
sence of sunlight as the buttercups and
daisies would.
Light Is our best friend, the moot wel
come and helpful guest we can admit
Into our houses, not only the friend of
health, lending glow and color to our
cheeks; but the foe of disease, killing
quickly the lower forms of moulds and
fungi, the bacteria and disease germs.

Phenomenal Returns From Apple Rais

apples was found In California during
the gold mining period. In 1151 a few
boxes, securely bound with strap Iron'
for protection against thieves, were)
ehlpped to San Francisco, and sold for
12 a pound. In 1SS L00 bushels were
ehlpped. They returned a net profit of
from I1.S0 to $2 per pound. In 1S&S
000 bushels were ehlpped, and returned
20 to $10 a bushel. Young trees were
now In full bearing and the export of
IS was 20,000 boxes. One box Of Eso
pus B pit ton bergs paid the shipper a net
profit or $10. and three bosee of Wlne
saps were sold In Portland at 1102. From
this time to 1180 the fell and winto
shtpmenta, bi-monthly to Sse Francisco
per steamer, were from 2000 to tooo
boxes. The business decreased from
1SS0 until 1ST0. Only a few boxes of the)
late winter varieties were sent. Orchards
were neglected and pests appeared, oom
