SMALL BOATS
GASOLINE LAUNCHES
FOR UPPER SNAKE.
"
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.

How De Cosmus Great Speech Hap

de Cosmus in the legislature of Brit-
Waere gssl lalaeae Is ratal.
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. If the human family
dwelt In ventilated bouses, breathed
pure air, lived temperately, with little
or no alcohol, and took dally exercise

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.

TEDIOUS LABOR ON THE
' BIG BATTLESHIP.
Hie Nebraska Is Nearing Completion
in the Seattle Shipyard About ITS
Miles of Piping on the Vessel Work
Must Be Done With Greatest Care

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.

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

much merit and can be depended up
on for curing backache and kidney

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
