food iiver Slacier. FRIDAY. JULY 3, 1S9C. Aerial irrig-uiion. The tract of country extending from central Ohio in'a northerly and west my direciiou lirto Michigan and liuliana. in pwrhp more thoroughly MU.j)lied with artificial drainage than ai) other irin't of similar extent in the iJnlted Stales, In tonography this (.olintry k mostly prairie land, often Willi n difti-eruible slope,, and in its tKigiual condition was largely covered with timber. -The surface water from ruin and snow flowed oft' with difficul ty, u.inJ much ufJt- renmined ou the grouul until dried up by the sun. The xoil is ut u I'tuyey character, but blight Jy perineutilt to water and there are Koiiiparati t y lew permanent springH, Aiound the sources of ninuy of the larger Htreams ineiv were formerly ex unive marshef, covering thousands of acres, which in their natural state seemed to forbid the possibility of rec lamation for industrial Uses. J,it the course of the settlement of the tDUDtry the-necessity , of doing some thing to ameliorate this untoward con dition led to the introduction of an ex tensive system of drainage. The rich clays of the state furnished a cheap and ouvnieut tile material which became the basis of the system. The tiles were eounected with large open ditches, and ju some cases, as iu the great Scioto jtwaojpi with extensive canals con structed at the expense of the state. Uf this entire section of country, it is probable that tile drainage and open ' Hitching overspread forty per cent. fts not intended here to describe the methods or results of tills drainage ro far as it original purpose is con mned. Suffice it to say that it has reclaimed many thousands of acres of marshes entirely outside the pale of Itrifulturai use, and has vastly im proved the condition of extensive semi swampy tracts. The purpose of this hrief notice is simply to call attention to a secondary though very important result of tile drainage, little enough foiesecn by the projectors of the eas tern, since it is a character quite the reverse of any condition of drain age. This feature may be described as aerial irrigation, by which it results that the severity of mid-summer Droughts in the tile-drained areas is largely mitigated. To juote from a recent government report, ejcperiance in tile drainage t-arly showed that the tiles produced other beneficial effects than those re sulting from the drainage of the land. It was found that tiled laud resisted drought better than untiled, nd it was constantly noted that alonir, the lines of the tiles there was a freshness uf growth that indicated the presence of more moisture than the adjacent grounds enjoyed- Tile drainage grad ually found its way into areas where no real necessity for drainage existed, and always with advantage to the crops, Until now the function of the tiles is by tin means exclusively to draiu the land, hut to secure this beneficial influence, the nature of which is not yet fully Understood. There are several minor contributing lauses which produce the result, but h real explanation is to he found in the circulation of Jhe air through the tile and the aeration of the soil in its vicinity, Given a tile drain of known length, site and gradient, and estab lished data in regard to the specific gravity or air, the deposition of moist ; lire with a fall of temperature, and the difference between surface and sub-surface temperature, it becomes a simple matter to determine the amount of moisture which would be deposited iu fiu-h h tile unaer assumed conditions of temperature and humidity. At times Jt is undoubtedly large, and instances fre recorded where au examination of the tiles on hot days has fouud them dripping with water. The system of tile drainage which is now being so extensively adopted is thus seen to subserve two distinct, con trary and important purposes that of removing promptly the surplus water of springs and that of Irrigating the ftotl during the season of drought. It is not improbable that this method of subirrigation by means cf circulating currents of air may furnish a satisfac tory solution of the problem involved In rewnt experiments for the artificial jproduetion of rain. It may be stated that this secondary (unction of tile drains is now so fully recognized that tracts have been re cently underlain with tiles for irriga tion purposes alone, and that the results of these special experiments have fully justified expectations----!!. M. Critten. den, C. E., U. S, A., In Scientific American. Our strawberry harvest is about over for this reason. Berries are still com- Jng Jn fropi points up the valley, but growers generally are through picking and have stopped shipping. Prices have been satisfactory all through the season. The demand for Hood River berrlen a, as usual, greater than the Ktippiy, They command a good price ftver berries from other parts of the Northwest for two reasons first, we have the best berries; and, second, our berries are packed and shipped In bet ter shape than berries from any other part of the country.' Even among JjoocJ River growls there is a defer ence in price in favor of those who take extra care in packing. The le8t qual ity of berries are always sold first by commission men, and the inferior are left to take their chances with a drop In the market. It pays to properly I grade and pack strawberries, and even Hood River can improve in this matter. The national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held in St. Paul the first week in Sep tember. At the same time will occur the Minnesota state fair and the North western exposition midway between the twin cities- of St. Paul and Minne apolis. The fair association ha set aside ample space within a large build ing for states, cities and communities of the Northwest to make exhibits of their products. Space will be given gratis and admission to the grounds free to those in charge of exhibits. E. W. Randall of HamHne Is secretary of the association. The commissioners of Clackamas county have leased the Clackamas river to a boom company for a period of ten years. The river is divided iuto three stretches for toll purposes, and the toll was fixed at 60 and 80 cents and $1 per thousand feet for driving timber and rafting it at the mouth of the river. The company gives bonds in the sum of $10,000 to keep and per form all its agreements. There was much opposition to the lease, but pub lic sentiment was about equally di vided for and against it. , From present appearances the vote In the Chicago convention on the money question will stand 588 for silver and 340 for gold. There Is a chance of the convention endorsing the nomi nation of Senator Teller, who was put up by the bolters at St. Louis. The democrats endorsed the nomination of Horace Greeley, in 1872, who was nom inated by disaffected republicans, and they may repeat their folly in 1896 with about the same chances of suc cess. ' As this is to be a campaign of educa tion, the Glacier Invites correspond ence on the money question from both sides.

More than 500 acres are cul tivated to berries at Sarcoxie, and the growers expected large returns but will not get enough to pay expenses. One man lost 100 crates in one day owing to stoppage oi iraius on tne Missouri fa cific. As well might the United States agree to pay $1 for every bmhel of wheat produced in, or imported into, the country as to agree to pay $1 for every 412 grains of silver that might be brought to her mints. The results would be the same in either event bankruptcy, swift and sure. Mitchell Monitor. Ju Loy was made a Woodman at Brownsville last week. He was lam basted, swalla whacked, boom fizzled and yankee doodled, and quietly sub mitted until it was proposed to abbre viate his cue, when he made a break for the door, knocked down the guard, ran over the sentry and cleared the stairs in three leaps.

They have not been able to determine the width of either of the ledges, having only been able to locate the hanging wall on each. Mountaineer. : The color of the sky at particular times affords a woridertully good guide to the meteorological conditions to be expected wi'hin the coming 24 hours. Not only does a rosy sunset presage good weather and a ruddy sunset .bad weather, but there are other tints which speak with equal e'eurnexs and accuracy. A blight yel;ow sky in the evening indicates wind; a pale yellow, rain - if in the morning the sky is of a neutral gray color, he indications for ! a gooa nay may lie considered favor able. Generally speaking, it may be said that any deep or unusual hue be tokens either wind or rain in summer, or both wind and snow in winter, St Louis Repubjie, Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Leonard, accompanied by two others, were coming to The Dalles in a sail boat, and when near . Crate's Point were becalmed while passing in front of the scow Flyer. The current was very swift, ahd before they could ap ply the oars the boat was sucked under the bow of the hcow. All but Mrs. Leonard succeeded in freeing them selves from the boat and were taken on board the scow, but she remained in the little craft and was carried through the water the entire length of the scow, which is about 80 feet long, coming up at the stern, somewhat bruised and al most drowned. A boat was lowered to rescue Mrs. Leonard, but she weighs about 200 pounds, and those who went to her rescue were unable to take her into the boat, and they towed her ashore, where she was assisted onto dryland. Aside from receiving a few bruises and a serious scare she was not injured. Mountaineer. Since the republican national con vention declared squarely against free coinage of silver, and the democratic for it, the money question can and will be definitely settled, If other silver par ties who profess to believe this issue paramount to all otbers.will show their sincerity by refusing to nominate a presidential ticket. With but two can didates in the field, a fair, full and honest expression of the people of the nation can lie had. If on this issue McKinley Is elected, the silver men should I satisfied to abide by the de cision of the majority and forever drop their hobby. - Ou the other hand, If he is beaten and a silver candidate is elected, the advocates of a single gold standard must submit to the inevitable and prepare to adjust their business, to a silver staudard. Mountaineer, t 1 R. H. Guthrie, of The Dalles, who is arranging to take his sheep to Mt. Adams, received the following warn ing, dated at White Salmon, June 22d: "Dear Sir: There is a move on foot to salt petre your sheep when you bring them through here, so I thought I would tell you about it, so that you might be on your guard. That man Wier is at the bottom of it. 1 don't want to get into trouble, so L will not sign my name." Mixed Up the Babes. V While Mrs. Hanna Foster of Treyer ton was at the bedside of her sick mother, Mrs. Jane Morton of Irish Valley, Pa., she was taken suddenly ill, and a few minutes after a physician arrived each woman gave birth to a child almost simultaneously, says the Philadelphia Press. The phyxician hurriedly laid Mrs. Morton's babe in a cradle near by. A moment later he placed the daughter's offspring in the same cradle, and then busied himself in attending to the two sick women. Whea each mother asked to le shown her offspring the doctor was in a quandary, as he could not recollect which child belonged to Mrs. Morton or which was that of Mrs. Foster, and the mothers were as badly perplexed. One babe is a boy and the other a girl. After studying over the perplexing question for several hours the matter was given up in despair, and Mrs. Mor ton poured oil on the troubled waters by magnanimously declaring that her daughter should take the boy and she would take the girl. This arrange ment suited Mrs. Foster in every re spect, but as the case now stands, Mrs. Morton cannot tell whether she is nursing her daughter or her grand daughter, and Mrs. Foster is at a loss to know whether she is rearing her brother or her sou. , Married. , 'In Portland, June 27, 3896, A.
