in the chair, Secretary Huntington

from Mr. Rockwell, of Tiffin, Ohio,
offering to remove the plant of his
woolen factory at that place to The

taking stock in the company equal to
fifty per cent, of the plant's value, f 100,
000, was read, and on motion placed on
file. Another communication concern
ing a woolen mill, offering to build for a
bonus of $15,000 and the City's mill site
on Mill creek, was read and placed on
file. '
Mr. Wheelden stated that a committee
of two from the Grange had stated to
him, with the request that he lay the
matter before the Board, that the Grange
was desirous of getting a statement from
the Board of Trade concerning the put
ting of boats on the river, and that the
Grange desired to assist in the matter
at least to the extent of guaranteeing a
large patronage. There will- be a meet

on any proposition submitted to them

For the New City on the Columbia River.
It is now a moral certainty that very
soon North Dalles is to receive another
enterprise of greater importance to it
than the one already started and our
people must not be surprised if, at least,
two manufactories are soon put
underway. Mr. O. D. Taylor accom
panied by a gentleman from Portland
leave for the east on an extended trip, in
a few days and on their return we shall
expect to see lively times at North
Dalles. Back of the proposition at North
Dalles are men who are quietly working
out the rapid development of the north
side of the river. They are financially
strong and able to put into practical
operation improvements of very large
magnitude. The next ninety days will
change the appearance at North Dalles
and our people will then know what we
meant when we advised them to pur
chase something in this young city.

An Exile's Wife.
Mrs. O'Brien, wife of the Irish exile, is a
Russian lady of social distinction, and is
described by those who have met her as
highly intelligent and accomplished. In
personal appearance she is of a dark type
of beauty, petite and fascinating. She
is a zealons adherent of "her husband's
cause, and has translated into Russian
and French the works of John Morley,
the Liberal leader, for the widespread
dissemination of his views. Being Rus
sian born, it is to be presumed that the
present complication in her husband's
affairs is in no way disheartening to her

thrive, or at least in which they fre

NEW WORLD'S WONDERS.
FABLED SEVEN THROWN INTO OB
. SCURITY IN COMPARISON. ,
8oore of the Creations of Modem Times
Sirrpmas Any or All' of tfae Wooden of
the - Ancient Some of-' America,' -. Ke
aasvrlwble Achievements. '
Compared with the seven wonders of
the world classified by the iytents there
are seven times seven wonders now. The
fabled Colossus of Rhodes, the Alexan
drian lighthouse, the hanging gardens of
Babylon, sink into insignificance beside
the achievements of modern times. The
Colossus of Rhodes was, in all probabil
ity, a myth, while the Bartholdi statue is
an aocompliahed fact, and undoubtedly
equal in point of achievement to any of
the seven wonders of the ancients, not
even excepting the pyramids.
As a matter of fact, the real wonders
of the world, albeit they have ceased for
the most part to be wonders by reason
of familiarity, represent inventions
rather than engineering and architect
ural BfciTI; the railway, the steamboat, the
photograph, the telescope and the self
binding reaper are. in themselves won
ders of which the Egyptians and the
Greeks never dreamed. But in the line
of engineering skill, which was the most
prominent feature of the. original seven
wonders, there are so many 'proud
triumphs that it is by no means an easy
matter to name the foremost seven.
, THE MODERN LIST. . ;
The list comprises the Forth bridge, in
Scotland; New . York's underground
aqueduct, which is thirty miles long, on
an average 150 feet tmcTergroundand
cut through rock; the Eiffel tower; the
jpjwwyn briqgej the, igj yWqgrd ttm"
neT, between Switzerland and Italy, be
gun at a height of 1,340 feet, andjput for
nine and one-half milesthrough the solid
rock"; Hhe Improvements at Hell Gate.
and the jetties at the mouth of the Mis
sissippi. It is easy to take exceptions to
this list. .
There are probably few intelligent peo
ple who will not dispute the claims of
some one or other of these achievements.
The Eiffel tower, for example, lofty as it
is, should scarcely be permitted to crowd
out the Suez canal, and the engineering
feat of removing the obstructions at
Hell Gate is hardly to be compared with
the building of the Pacific railroads.
The Siberian railroad. also is entitled to
dispute the claim of some of the wonders
in the liBt, while the Bartholdi statue is
scarcely to be crowded out, not only for
its colossal proportions, but by reason of
the skill required to produce the results
aimed at. There are several cantilever
bridges also, some one of which is likely
to-suggest itself to engineers as having
good grounds for-disputing the place in
Che list of seven.
To many nnfamWar with the problem
to be solved it may seem as if the jetties
of the Mississippi were hardly entitled
to a place in the list.- There are no
mighty buttresses of stone, no marvel
ous structures by human hands to arrest
attention only lines of willow . basket
work, filled with mud and gravel and
sunk in the river channel. But we see
what has been accomplished by such
simple means suggested by the genius of
Capt. Eads. -
SIMPLE BUT WONDERFUL.
Here is the problem: A river necessary
to the inland commerce of a continent,
whose waters continually bear vast
quantities of sand and gravel toward the
sea. A cubic mile of solid earth, it has
been estimated, is thus borne down by
the Mississippi every year. When the
stream met the waters of the gulf the
current was checked by the inflowing
tides, and a great burden of earthy mat
ter was deposited, while the river spread
out over a great extent of territory.
Navigation was rendered uncertain and
dangerous, and millions of dollars ex
pended in dredging brought no practical
results. The river could beat the United
States government in a contest waged
on that line.
- Then came Capt. Eads with a prono
sition to gather the willows along the
shores, make them into crates of mat
tresses, fill them with mud and gravel.
place them in parallel lines where a
channel was wanted, and set the river to
do its own digging by means of a quick
ened current. That was the basis of the
jetty system, Which has' more than
doubled the depth of the" channel at the
mouth of the most important river on
the globe. ; " - - - .-
The w aters continued td deposit sand
gravel between the jetties and the
shores, the willows sprouted and grew,
and thus solid banks of earth were
formed and protected by trees. It is
only necessary to extend the line of wil
low baskets from time to time as occa
sion demands in order to carry the chan
nel still further into the gulf. The jetty
system is a grand triumph of simplicity,
but fairly entitled by reason of the re
sults obtained to be reckoned among the
leading seven wonders of the world.

Terrapin Farming-.
A terrapin farm is described by The
Fernandina (Fla.) News. It is an in
closure about twenty feet square, one
half of it filled with loose s&od and a
tank, occupying the rest of the space.
The tank is below tide level, and at high
tide the salt water runs in from th
marsh to a depth of four feet. The tank
was all perforated with holes, and the
owner, digging down with his fingers,
unearthed some baby terrapins an inch
or two loDg.
