" Light Craft Carrying 100 Tons Can Navigate the RapUs and Dodge the Boulders AU the Small Settlements of Upper' Snake River May Be Reached With Light Boats Drawing ' But 12 Inches of Water New Per . tod of Navigation Made Possible by Portage. The picturesque period of steam navigation on the upper Snake river Is just now dawning. The portage road hu made it profitable for boats of all descriptions to ply the .perilous waters of the upper river and It Is possible that a number gasoline launches and small boats will follow the Snake and Columbia to the far- therest possible point of navigation. . The boulders which menace large boats will have no terrors for the light gasoline craft. The rapids which prevent heavier boats from ascend lng these streams do not . deter the light winged launches which it Is aid will be able, by maneuvering In the stream, to ascend any of the rap ids that are now a bar to navigation. Mining camps, farming communi ties and other small settlements that lie along the upper Snake far above Lewiston. 'may be. ' reached by the small gasoline launch and there is every possibility that a swarm of such light craft will deck the waters of the Snake and penetrate its forbid ding canyons within the next year, bringing down the products of the Isolated settlements. L. C. Mackey, who recently moved to Lewiston from Wlllew City. N. D. Is Investigating the matter of placing in service on the upper Snake river a small gasoline steamboat. Mr. Mackey spent last winter in Lewiston and made a trip to the up per Snake river country. He has ob served the successful operation of gasoline steamers on the upper Mis sissippi which are using gasoline for power and he is sanguine such a craft would be especially adapted to the conditions to be met tn navigating the Snake river above Lewiston. Mr. Mackey states that the Missis sippi boats, using gasoline power, have carrying capacities ranging up to 100 tons and such boats are able to maintain a speed of 15 miles an hour. He believes a G 0-ton boat. 60 feet in length, with 10-foot beam, and equipped with gasoline engines of the power of 75 horse, would be the craft to utilize on the upper Snake river run. Such a boat could be secured at a cost of about 14000. He estimates that a barrel of gasoline would pro vide suffiicent power to run such a boat to the mouth of Grand Ronde and return, a distance of (0 miles, the cost for power therefore not ex ceeding $10 to $12. His trip of In spection of the upper river has con. vinced him that such a boat would run the stream without difficulty. The craft, light, would draw only 12 Inches of water. SAVED THE LANDS.

Man la the only animal which Is al ways accompanied by disease except those creatures that are his companions ltd share his patronage. There Is rea son to believe that the denizens of the forests, the veld, the rivers and the ocean, so far as they escape man's In fluence, live, with hardly an exception, healthy Uvea. Chronic aliments begin with man's protection In the dairy, stable and kennel. Man has created artificial conditions with which the "thousand Ills that flesh Is heir to" art associated. It Is now his supreme task to bring these conditions Into harmony with the laws of his being. Sickness and debility are not to be regarded as natural and Inevitable parts of our heritage, bat as the fruits of rebellion against nature's laws, and therefore to be got rid of.

London Mall Fiance aad Sweetheart. For centuries we have tried to get the word that expresses the relation of the man to the maid he Intends to marry. "Intended" has been tried and found wanting. "My bloke," "my young man" --these combinations are not heard In the best clrcli. "My be trothed," a- phrase used In Germany, has not taken root In England. "My sweetheart" Is pretty enough, but It lacks the official sound. Young men and maiden become engaged and mar ry, but they have to cross the channel for the word that leads them to the altar. One might suggest to the blush ing girl who has to allude to the man of her acceptance "my future." French maidens speak of "mon futur," and it sounds comprehensive. London Chronicle.

Hie Nebraska Is Nearing Completion in the Seattle Shipyard About ITS Miles of Piping on the Vessel Work Must Be Done With Greatest Care Inside of Vessel Will Resemble Inside of Porcelain Bath Tub When Complete. The following from the. Seattle News concerning the progress of work on the battleship Nebraska, gives an Insight into the delicate and tedious labor expended on the big war vessels, for all of which the people must pay: There is yet a lot of work to be done on the battleship, although the vessel Is taking on more and more the looks of a completed warship. says the News. Painters, plpemen. electricians and machinists are at work in nearly every nook and cor ner of the vessel. There are said to be about 175 miles of pipes to be laid in the big ship, of which there are SO or more miles of piping yet to go in. All tne electrical and telephone wirer are being strung In plp?s, aside from the vast quanti ty needed for the machinery generally- The painting, which is now In hand, is all exceedingly intricate and labori ous work. There are several coats of red lead to be put on, on every Inch of the InBlde of the vessel. This, when It dries, has to be gone over with sandpaper and smoothed over and when this Is done to the sat isfaction of the naval inspectors white enamel painting is put on in two and thre successive coats, and this sandpapered as before, until it Is as smooth as glass. Not a blot or blemish must show anywhere. Even on the under side, every piece of Iron has to be given the same careful work and close attention as the upper portions. The men are now mostly working far down In the depths of the hold, 10 to 15 feet under water, or below the water line. They crawl about through dark passages, through man holes and worm their way around 'Ike teredo In a pile. Each workman carries an electric light globe In one of his hands and his paint brush or other tool in tho other hand. The globes are fastened by long wires to the wires carrying the current so that each workman can carry on his work over a considerable area without changing the wire or working In the dork. When the naval Inspector comes along to examine the work he Is pro vided with an Incandescent globe fastened to a long stick. This he pokes about In and under and into corners and never falls to see any de fect in the work, however small. When It Is all completed the lining of tho battleship looks like that on a porcelain bath tub. havs taken from JFat m" settlers tlse? HkeI- t0 Ao (argegt bnel. their lands.

KING CORN DAY IN SCHOOLS. Honored by Special Studies and In vestigation. Guthrie, Okla., April 4. Here well as In all corn states north of the Ohio river King Corn day Is observed today in the public schools. The grow ing of corn and the selection of good seed for raising corn formed the sub Ject of talks delivered to the children In all public schools. To teach the children how to select the best seed, they were asked some time ago to make tests of seeds at their homes and to report the results to their teachers today. The material thus collected In the schools will be summed up by the sla tlstlclans of the department of agrl culture and will be communicated In condensed form to the growers of corn throughout the cotton belt. Toung folks' grain clubs will be or ganised In all corn states and next fall each Bchool will hold a harvest festi val, with competitions for valuable prizes. Colorado and Minnesota have already voted $2500 each for distrib ution In tho form of prizes among the children, taking Interest In the corn growing Industry.

All Leading Grocers , Sell Cleveland's Baling Powder, HUNDRED YEARS SINCE. A LetU-r That Will Be Written Some Day We Publish It In Advance. HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, BOSTON, Oct. 1, 2008. Dear Father: I have not written to you for some days, and so will just drop you a line to let you know that I am well and getting along nicely In my medical studies. We had a very Interesting lecture today at tho university, and perhaps you will be Interested to hear about it. The professor was talking about those wonderful medicinal curative which are found nowhere except in the cod's liver, and which we now have at our command in the sterling old remedy, Vlnol. which was first used 100 years ago. The professor spoke very well of Vlnol, and stated that In all wustlng diseases, weakness after sickness, run down, nervous, over-worked conditions, with loss of flesh, appetite and sleep In young and old, there has never been discov ered such a splendid strength, flesh and vitality making tonic as Vinoi. He then showed the class a few drops of the very disgusting oil, which, he assured us, was taken from the cod's liver. This oily substance was actually taken Into the stomach as a medicine about 100 years -ago. We were all -much surprised and could hardly believe that even then people could have been so Ignorant and misinformed as to use this oil In Its cruds state. The professor then said that since the Introduction of Vlnol the old forms of cod liver oil and emulsions have been laid by as practically use less, and .that for nearly a century Vlnol has been considered by both doctors and patients the greatest of all rtrength making, healing tonics. Hoping you are well, I remain, with love to mother and lister Mary, tour affectionate son, JOHN. P. ft. I am told that the Pendleton Drug Co. are the druggist In Pen dleton who handle Vlnol.
