The new power house of the Light Water and Power Co. is located on the east bank of the river.

A large ditch oonveys the water from the dam to a point where it enters the pipe line, which is carried across the river on a suspen siou bridge.

The Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland Is proving a grand siicoess, it is being patronized by people from all over the United States. One In teresting feature of the exposition was a pyrotechuio display on the 1th of July on the summit of Mount Hood, which is 60 miles from Port laud. At i) p. m. they touohed off about '200 pounds of explosive matter all at once, and it certainly did make a big Hash. It was intended for a side show for the fair, but we who live less than half tho distance from the scene of action got the full beue- Ilt of It by staying at home. Albert A. Orahara was put out of commission about three weeks ago by an attack of Inflammatory rheumatism but we are glad to report that he is "on his pegs" again. He spent a few days with us during the time of his convalescence. Although at present a long distance from l'lorlua, the Martins still claim to be "Crackers," hence the social alllnlty for Mr. Graham. We greatly enjoyed having him with us. WHITE SALMON.

PLACES FAITH IN THE MEDICINE MAN The sheriff took a drive to Celilo yesterday to se how Mary Aleck was, who has been sick for some time and who is under his ohargo, lieing hold to answer the crime of murder in the second degree, says Tho Dalles Chron lole. lie savs be went into the tepee. where the woman was lying on a bed, and eight feet from it was about a dozen Indians, who were engaged in "making medicine," The "medicine man" or, as the Inidaus informed the sheriff, the "doctor, same as lioston man" took the lead iu the incantations and movements. There was a board about 11 feet long, on which were loosely Ixuml some willow twigs, and these wire constantly being struck by willow switches about a foot long, in the hands of the "doctor" and his attend ants, at the same time a weird un ghost like sound was kept up. After keeping up this din for ten or fifteen minutes, the medicine man bathed Mary's head In some cold water. placed the barrel of a Winchester rifle under her neck, and this apparently relieved hei of her suffering, for she immediately stopped her moaning She managed with some diflicuKy to assume a sitting posturo, when she went through some Incantations to wards the Indian doctor, and then talked to the sheriff. She is no doubt very sick, and the sherilf will not re move her while in her present condition. Mr. Sexton Is an old resident of Oregon, but he says this Is the first time he has ever witnessed these heathen incantations over the sick. It is possible that Mary may be able to be brought to the jail In a few days: but she seems to have more faith in this Indian "medicine" than In that of the established school.

Thus he spoke last night as tho autos whizzed by, leaving their dizzy stench and the streetcars their noisy clanging, says writer In the Portland Oregouiau, According to Mr. Smith, 7-yoar-old orchards easily make from $100 to 150 an acre every year and 10-years old 200. "A man near my place," said he, "with live acres, makes $1,400 or l,.rtX a year. Another man with '2tK) trees, cleaned up If2,500 hist year had an orchard whose proofs amounted to 1150 an aero. From $200 to '250 yearly profits to the acre are into common and in several unusual oases the protfls have beeu $1,000 an acre. " These big profit a, Mr. Smith said, come from light cost, profits of pro ductluu and heavy demand for the fruit. Cost of cultivation and spray lug and packing and hauling to the railroad, etc., lie said does not come to more than 50 cents a box, and the grower sold the fruit last year at $2. 10 a box forSmtzeuburgsand $1. oi a box for Yellow Newtowns.

The right-sized apple farm, iu Mr. Smith's opinion, is 20 acres, anil 10 acres Is "big enough for any man; in fact, too big." The owuer cannot well manage a larger farm, owing to tho unreliability of hired labor. Will Stay In llood Kiver.
