Diking at Westport.
Last spring John "West finished
the construction of a dyke on his
place 1 miles long, 5 feet high,
11 feet at base, 4 feet at top,
which reclaims 300 acres of fine
land. The diking was finished
last spring" except the flood-gates
in the sloughs. The diking with
out the gates, of which are five in
as many different sloughs, sufficed
to keep out the water, and to dry
the ground sufficient to permit the
cattle to go over all the enclosed
land during the freshets of June
last, while, therefore, at suoh time
the stock were unable to go over
any portion of the land. In or
dinary tides the difference be
tween highest and lowest is about
six feet, so that it required a high
tide, such as a Inch full noontide.
to cause the water to overflow the
land. The Columbia river at
Westport is wide enoun-h so that
the summers floods do not cause
it to rise so high as further up
stream, requiring less work in
diking than it otherwise would do.
The cost of the diking, not count
ing the flood crates, was about
62.50 per rod, or $1,400, and the
five floodgates 650, and in the
aggregate ks,udu. Mr, West in
tends to still further strengthen
the dike by additions to the sides.
While it no doubt is strong
enough as it is, he wishes to make
protection safe and doubly sure.
The cost of the dik will "bo re
turned in a year or to in the
greatly increased profit to be de
rived from the lands, for grasses
and cultivation. JV W. 7'Vwv

It is suggested that to save
washing, dishes shall be made of

Plates, cups and saucers of this

"WHAT SENATOR 'ELSOX THINKS
OF AIXCOCK'S POROU"
PLASTERS.
Senate Chamber, Albany, N. Y.,)
April 4, 18S5. f
On the 27th of February, 1883, I
was taken with a violent pain in the
region of the kidneys. I suffered
such agony that I could hardly stand
up. As soon as possible I applied
two Allcock's Poaoua Plasters,
one over each kidney, and laid down.
In an hour, to my surprise and de
light, the pain had vanished and I
was well. I wore the plasters for a
day or two as a precaution, and then
removed them. I have been using
Allcock's Pobous Plasters in my
family for the last ten years, and
have always found them the quick
est and best external remedy for
coldfi, strains and rheumatic affec
tions. From my experience I be
lieve they are the best plasters in the
world. Henry O. Nelson.
