"It may b asked If there waa ever a great natural bridge over the Columbia such as the legend de scribe The answer Is emphatically 'yea.' Everywhere along the mld-Co-lumbla the Indiana tell of a great bridge that once epanaed the river where the cascades now are, but where at that time trie, placed current flowed under an arch of stone; Aat this bridge was built by the gods; that the Great Spirit shook the earth and the bridge crashed down into the river, forming the present obstruc tion of the cascadea All of the Co lumbia tribes tell tnls story, in dif ferent versions and in different dia lects, but all agreeing upon Its es sential features as one of the great facts of their past history." The Oregon bureau of mines and geology i conducting a comprehen sive study of the Columbia river gorge. The results of the work will isfactory manner and should lead toj valuable historical discoveries. I Mr. Williams found that the lano' on both banks of tne Columbia Is' composed almost entirely of land! slips, with the most abrupt slips com ing from the Washington side. Ap-I parently this shows that the river once was at its full ldth even at the narrows but was constricted by some of the historic slides of earth. That the river remains narrow at this point is evidence that the earth is still rest less and keeps forcing its way toward the river as fat as the river's erosion naturally would carry it away. The report when completed will describe the formations of the fa mous scenic points along the highway and discuss from a popular yet scien tific andpoint the geological rea sons for the great cliffs and chasms. We can not help but wonder what the bureau will do with the local proof as given in Mr. Halch's pre face: "In the fall when the freshets are over and the waters of the Co lumbia are clear, one going out in a small boat and looking down Into the transparent depths can see submerg ed forest trees beneath him, still I I ."

THE WIDOW SETTLED IT It kicked up a deuce of a stir at the ranch when a female of tenderfoot tyle, Coase out as a boarder a-wearin' good lothes an' a heart-warmin' sort f a smile: A aeat little critter with ravishin' yM an' as smooth In her walk as eat, An' lips of that temptin' olicitin,' brand any feller'd like to git at Us cowboys Just cut her all up with our eyes, she seemed sich a glori fied change la the maverick line from the run o' the gals we was 'customed to see on the range, Aa' when we dlskivered the facts In the case it made us feel tenderly ad.

Naturally, you'd stop this "shopping" around quick if you could find a cigarette that never grew tiresome. Fatima is such a cigarette. Men don't simply get Fati mas they adopt them. Because they find that Fatimas never grow tiresome. Fatimas are SENSIBLE cigarette inasmuch as they are always cool and comfort able to the throat and tongue. And they allow you to smoke as you like to smoke without leaving a trace of "mean" feeling afterward. Is it any wonder men adopt Fatimas and STICK to Fati mas for their steady smoke?
