Vast Power of Northern Rivers, Obedi ent to Engineering Skill, Forced to Do the Will of the Brain That Conquers. Few people know that trains are run along the Pacific coast, cities lighted and factory power obtained from har nessed waterfalls up in the Sierra mountains. It is a commentary on the wonderful Industrial progress of Amer ica, celebrated by America's Electrical week, that the force which drives the wheels of the Pacific coast commerce is derived from heretofore useless rivers amidst the whitecapped moun tains of California. The engineering world has watched with interest the progress of the great South Yuba-Bear river development, which had its beginning in 1912 under authority from the California state railroad commission. At that time the Pacific Gas and Electric company entered upon the construction of a 225-foot dam at Lake Spaulding by which it was proposed to back up the waters of the South Yuba river and to transform Lake Spaulding into a great storage reservoir of 43,500-acre feet capacity. This work is again in progress and is said by engineers to be the finest enterprise in conserving national re sources and in providing hydro-elec tric power in great quantities that has yet been undertaken in the West, where this kind of motive force is rap idly taking the place of steam and oil power. The idea of damming the waters of the South Yuba at that point occurred to electrical engineers many years ago, but the great disaster of 1906 and the troubles that followed caused the project to be temporarily abandoned. The project called for the diversion of water from the South Yuba at the dam through tunnel and ditch into Bear valley, and for the construction of a power house in the Bear River gorge some nine miles below Lake Spaulding, at a point where a head of 1,375 feet was obtainable. From tilts It was proposed to utilize the water after its release Into Bear river several times over in its course through mountain and valley down to the point of Its arrival at the City of Auburn, some 47 miles below. The fall of the water between the two points being approximately 4,300 feet, it was found possible to survey sites for a chain of not less than seven developments In all. Altogether, the plans called for an aggregate development of something like 162,000-horse power. The work on Lake Spaulding was started in 1912, and in the following year tunnel and ditch work was begun upon the Chris tian valley plant and also that ad jacent to the city of Auburn. On Thanksgiving day, 1913, Vice President John A. Britton closed the switch which sent the electric energy humming along the wires from the newly constructed power plant In the Bear River gorge to the company’s main high-tension distributing sta tion at Cordelia, 110 miles away. This enormous hydro-electric development is fast nearing completion, to be added to engineering achievements ranking with the Panama canal. An Optimist. It was 5 a. m. He was starting the furnace fire at this unseemly hour. Without warning a large lump of coal leaped from Its berth on top of the coal pile and landed squarely on the captain of his toe brigade on the left foot. In other words, the coal landed squarely on his big toe. He warmed up much more quickly than the fire as he hopped about on one foot in imitation of a Russian toe dancer. He swore, cursed his luck. Increased the white space on his face, and then —then—then he began to smile. And his toe thumped like a stranded auto engine ! “Why, I really am lucky,” he thought "I'm lucky to have a coal pile big enough for a lump of coal to get a start on. Come on, do it again,” he dared and smilingly cast his grouch In the furnace, gave his aching toe a rub or two and cheerily went to work.

In thia tragedy Shakespeare introduces several storm scenes. The one preceding had been a mighty one, where Macbeth curses his luck and fate. Everyone was very much impressed with his wrath.

It Works! Try It Tells how to loosen a sore, tender corn so it lifts out without pain. No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but Is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callous. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callous. In stantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callous will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freezone doesn’t eat out the corns or callouses but shrivels them without even irritating the sur rounding skin. Just think! No pain at all; no sore ness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don’t have freezone have him order it for you. HERMISTON, OREGON. GOT SAILORS’ "GOATS" REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE UN NERVED BRITISH SEAMEN. Men Refused to Stay on Ship That in Their Opinion Had “Seen the Bot tom of the Sea”—Vessel Held In Thick Mud. Not so very long ago the appear ance of a new island off the coast of Alaska brought to mind other rapid uprisings of land on the ocean. An island suddenly came to light off the coast of Sicily, remained for two months and as quickly disappeared. Sabrina, near the Azores, retired from public life before it had been fairly charted. The Gulf of Mexico has wit nessed the advent and subsidence of small islands. These upheavals of the bed of the ocean suggests all sorts of mysteries connected with the un known depths. A British vessel onoe had an uncanny experience In this con nection. The vessel was out twenty-three days from Manila to the Hawaiian is lands. It was a silent, dead-black night. The lead showed a deep sea. Suddenly those on board felt as though they had grounded. Daybreak revealed a low and misty sky. The Britisher lay as if becalmed In the midst of an oily sea strangely discolored In patches. Suddenly the water, to use the words of the mas ter, "trembled." The ship rolled, and in the distance rose a huge balloon shaped mass of vapor, steam or smoke. There was not the slightest sound, but a long line of chafing water stretched across the streaky calmness. Then the vapor settled over all, and the ship’s company could hear but not see the seething and pouring water all about them. The captain ordered a bucketful to be drawn up. It was hot and smelled like the product of a gas- works. Whereupon the captain re marked that "a new continent was be ing poked up,” adding that he wished himself well out of the way. The air grew more oppressive every moment. The vessel gave a gentle side roll and word went round that the ship was aground. Over went the lead and came up covered with blue, oozy mud. The Britisher was wal lowing iu sludge, the darkness was pall-like and the atmosphere suffocat ingly close. Then the air was rent with reports dreadful to hear in that darkness. There were three of these blasts and all was still again. When the light came, red and un natural, a strange sight met the eyes of those on board. It was as if the bottom of the Pacific had been laid bare. They were helpless in a sea of thick mud. The sulphur fumes were choking and all had to take refuge be low. Hour after hour they gasped, facing the probability of a death by suffocation. Suddenly they felt that they were afloat. The bank of mud that held them had disappeared and after a time the Britisher made her way out of the gruesome spot. • When Honolulu was reached the crew deserted, for they held that there was no luck in a ship that had "seen the bottom of the sea.” Experience. “Going to plant any lettuce in your garden this year?” "No; nothing but flowers.” Cape Cod Canal a Success.

Clear, Peachy Skin : Awaits Anyone Who : Drinks Hot Water | Says an Inside bath, before break- + fast helps us look and feel y clean, sweat, fresh. ? Sparkling and vivacious—merry, bright, alert—a good, clear skin and a natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. If only every man and woman could be induced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls, with pasty or muddy com plexions; instead of the multitudes of “nerve wrecks,” "rundowns,’” "brain fags” and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked people everywhere. An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in It to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre vious day’s indigestible waste, sour fermentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. Those subject to sick headache, bil iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, cold; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remark- able change in both health and appear ance, awaiting those who practice in ternal sanitation. We must remem ber that inside cleanliness is more im portant than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to con taminate the blood while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.
