Easy Urade fur Road to Lost Lake.
The party which went in to Lost
lake last week to survey a line for the
proposed county road, report finding a
very practical grade. Those in the
party were Lou Morse, G. R. Castner
and W. R. Winans, viewers; County
Surveyor Gordon ; Abe Decan and David
Stone, chainmen. The last three
miles of the survey was made in two
feet of snow. Cold rain fell during
most of the trip.
The proposed road begins at Winans,
crosses tbe east fork at. the site of the
old bridge, extends up the left bank of
the stream a couple of miles, then turns
west and crosses the west fork at the
old ford, following the trail for some
distance over the desert, thence up the
east bank of Laurel creek to the luKe.
This covers a distance of 14 miles,
and another mile is added to carry tbe
road around to the camping ground tit
the inlet on the northeast corner of tbe
lake.
"We found a very practical grade,"
said Mr. Winans, "and when the road
is finished the trip can be made by
automobile. At one point just above
the desert a straightaway of a mile and
a quarter will make a most beautiful
driveway. There are 70 days work due
on the petition, and if the county court
grants the road this work will
tie applied in slashing brush and open
ing a trail for use this summer. It is
hoped others will interest themselves
in this matter and contribute toward
the opening of the road, which will
mean a great accommodation to the
settlers and lumbermen interested in
the Lost lake country. With a good
road, there will be a great increase In
pleasure parties to the lake. These
people cuu also a fiord to contribute
toward the opening of the road."
Made an Analysis of Hood River Soil.
George D. Culbertson & company re
ceived the subjoined letter from an ad
mirer of Hood River valley, which will
be of interest to the orchard ists and
berry growers.
Sioux City, la., May 11, 1903 Geo. D.
Culbertson & Co., Hood River, Or.
Dear Sir: I can imagine that Hood
River valley looks pretty at this season
of the year. I am qui to anxious to be
out there and see the apple orchards
and Btrawberry fields. I expect to be
in Hood River early in July, and hope
that I will not be too late to get a big
dish of strawberries.
A short time ago I sent to Hood River
for a sample soil of your valley, and
analyzed it in the chemical laboratory
here. The analysis showed quite a large
percentage of potash, phosphorus and
nitrogen, elements so necessary to fruit
raising. Although the soil looks much
different than the black so i of Iowa, it
is very fertile, and you need not hesitate
in saying that the soil is No. 1. Yours
very truly, R. J. McIsaac.
The Glorious 4th at Winans.
Hood River, May 18, 1903. Editor

As to Spelling Reform.
Minneapolis Tribune,
There is a new outbreak of spelling
reform. Earnest persons are writing
io me newspapers aooui it, ana some
newspapers are trying to begin at home
and reform their own spelling, accord
ing io me ariincnu rules n the learned
societies. It is the old story. We are
to begin with simplifying the twelve
large and hard words. When we have
induced all tbe users of English to
adopt our reformed spelling of these,
we are to take twelve more, and so on,
until we have lightly adventured all
through the dictionary from A to ii
tard. Will the earnest reformers never
learn that the spelling, writing and
pronunciation of the English language
are among the things beyond control
by statute law or him meeting resolu
tion? We do not spell the Englbh lan
guage. The English language spells
itself, and we have to go along with It.
It is a living organism, fluid, growing,
changing, like a jelly fish floating in
the water. We talk wisely about the
laws of language; but the wisest men
tell us they know little about them. If
the English language, or any living
laneuate. have a formative, shaping
force, it Is the general, unconscious con
sent of lu users, as vague as it Is lrre
eUtible, tis fluid and shifting as lan
guage itself. When a language begins
to yield to the shaping nana oi me
learned academies it begins to die.
When it is dead you may spell and
nronounoe it anv way you like, as we
spell and pronounce Latin and Greek.
But not before.
A Startling Test.
To save a life. Dr. T. G. Merritt, of
North Mehoopany.Pa., made a startling
test resulting in a wonderful cure. He
writes: "A patient was attacked with
hemorrhages, caused bv ulceration of
the stomach. I had often found Elec
tric bitters excellent for acute stomach
and liver troubles so I prescribed them.
The patient gained from the first, and
has not had an attack in 14 months."
Electric bitters are positively guaran
teed for dyspepsia, indigestion, constipa
tion and kidney troubles. Try them.

And Lincoln's pictured face today

For, lo! the smarting wound is healed,
The nation stands orn-e more
A perfect body, sound and whole,
And stronger than before;
And heroes of tbe blue who marched
With Sherman to the sea
Clasp bands with veterans of the gray
Wbo rode with Kobert Lee.
Where onee the bees of battle sang
And startled buirles blew.
Where Vlcksburg beard the drums of death
Hlrlke up their wild latum,
White, peaceful lilies blossom now
To wreathe t lie memory
Of Lincoln, In the Southern heart
Enshrined with that of Lee.
