Burbank and his work, with illustra

nitructive affair.
Burbank has created three new
species only, the Royal berry, the
Paradox wali.ut and the Plumocot.
He has crossed strawberries and
apples, made potatoes and tomatoes to
grow on the same plant, one in the
ground, the other on the vines, he has
created a thornless blackberry, he has
produced chesnuts in a year grown on
trees trom the seed, he can make trees
grow so fast that they will be lumber
producers in twelve years.
His great work has been in the cactus,
from which he has taken the spines and
made a splendid food both for mat. and
animal, capable of producing 500 tons
to the acre. '

The8B-daya -is an important topic, in
view of the influence it has on the do
ings of the rivers and creeks ot the
valley.
.40 inch more rain fell for the day
previous -to 8 a. m. Total for the
month 9.14 inches. .
The Willamette rose jusYjtwo feet
between 8 a.m. yesterday and 8 a. m.
today, and another has been added dur
ing the day, 15 in all.
The indications are that the river at
Albany will reach at least 28;f out. tomor
row, perhaps more. Reports this noon
from Eugene indicate pretty high water
before the flood ends. It was 21 feet
and tising, which means at least 28
feet here. Yesterday at 3 p. m. it was
17.6 feet, showing a very rapid rise.
At Harrisburg at 3 p. m. yesterday
it waB only 6.4 feet, this morning 14 3
feet and rising very fast.
So far the small streams are the ones
that have raged and quite a good many
small bridges have taken a tumble.
