OT alone is the Diamond beautiful because of the purity of the rays that it sheds. The fact that its lustre wiil
endure down through time, lends it value and beauty, too. Some gaudy tinsel may be made for a moment to
outshine purest gold, but the precious metal never loses its durability. We pride ourselves on our gifts of sub
stantial quality, gifts the workmanship and nature of which will render them heirlooms.
And in passing we would call your attention to the fact that gold was never cheaper than at the present mo-
Jewelry of gold, watches and rings, is now at a low mark. The only increase noted in the price of jewelry

Whether it be a ring for the baby of plainest de
sign or with dainty delicate setting or a fine diamond,
you will find it here. We set our diamonds in plati
num. The other day we were told by a diamond
merchant that at least, 85 per cent of the jewelers of
the country were unable to handle such work. We
set our stones in platinum right here in Hood Kiver.
We have a line of Silverware that is unexcelled, sterling silver service and silver plated
ware that can't wear black. Not long ago we stripped the silver from a knife and left it
for two weeks in a lemon. It couldn't turn black.

Diamonds have been advancing
since 1890. Thy will never be
lower. Just twice as many dia
monds were mined in 1913 as were
taken from the earth last year.
The most important feature in
the buying of a diamoud Is the dea
ler you patronize. You must have
absolute confidence in the house you
deal with. For many years we
have bean selling stones to people
who know and demand the best.
Every diamond is absolutely backed
by our guarantee that has stood for
a most exacting honest policy for
many years.

YOUNG TRAPPER'S
BODY IS RESCUED
.John Wood, 24, trapper, whose body
was found on the Wahtum Lake trail
four miles no Herman ereek, may have
lieen killed by a falling limb, accord
ing to Deputy Coroner Anderson, who
brought the body here Saturday night
liy launch. The poeition in which the
young man's body was found indicated
that he had sat down to remove his
snowslioes and replace them with
leather pacs. Numerous fallen limln
were near. He had been warned
by forest rangers against making the
trip during the storm. Deputy Sheriff
Sloat and Traffic Officers Murray and
Wood accompanied Mr. Anderson.
The body will be held here until the
coroner gets word to a sister residing
at Prince Rupert, B. C.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
rood. With the slides left by th se
vere snow storm tying up the Colum-1
bin River Highway indefinitely snd
thus temporarily erding activity of the
numerous motor truck lines that were
handling the lion's share of light
freight and express between here and i
Portland, Columbia river steamers are
exicted to leap into popularity again.
Indeed, the steamers the past several
days have made possible the relieving,
of the congestion of freight that hat
piled up between Portland and ;mid-('o-lumbia
cities.
"Persuade the boats to take ship
ments." has been the burden of scores
of telegrams sent firm here the past
several days bv all manner of mer
chants and business men. The river ,
steamers were already carrying a
beavv tonnage of apples between M- i
sier. White Salmon and Ur.derwod
and Portland. The efferts of the .."w
storm will farther increase this fruit j
freight, it is said. Rier business.' it
is declared, will be restored to some-1
thing like oldtime day. f
After a week of inactivity the move
ment of aprdes to the east has lietrun
here and the normal shipments of an
average of 30 carloads per day are roll
ing again. Unable to hear from the
outside world and under the imprestioa
that other northwestern districts were
tied up by the storm, local shippers
anticipated that the week's tie-up
might have a stiffening effect on the
eastern market and relieve the glut of
fruit rolled there during the past sev
eral weeks. The storm, however, had
but little effect on other set i ,.ns, and
it is not expected that the local lack of
shipments will render the general mar

How I Screen Water for Irrigation
(Hy Hans Hoerlein)
Thorough screening of the water
1 used to irrigate hillside land is abso
lutely necessary in order to insure pro
tective, thorough and time-saving irri
gation. This applies, of course, pri
marily to the cultivated orchard, the
spring planting of hay, or some culti
vated crop, where it is necessary to
irrigate freshly-stirred soil by means
of "rills" and small furrows. The use
of a minimum amount of water per
rill in such irrigation is essential to
prevent washing, yet it is difficult to
keen the water flowing, because of the
annoying tendency of the holes in the
Hume to clog.
This tendency can be overcome al
most completely by screening the
water thorouithly as it flows onto the
ranch at the head-gate. The screening
system easily can lie installed, and will
prove at once reliable and a great aid
to the hillside irrigator.
Construct two stout bases, fx4x4
feet, making these of plank, or, better
still, of concrete. These are to be
placed so that the irrigation supply
Hows from the head-gate into the box
es before nassing into the flume dis
tributing the water over the ranch.
The water should flow from the gate
into one of these boxes, and the other
tiox should lie so placed that the over
flow from the end of the first box can
run into it.
If the ground has not sufficient slope
for the water flow into the boxes di
rectly from the head-gate, then they
must be sunk into the ground to the
required depth. The second box must
be set lower than the first enough
lower to be below the outlet of the
first box, with several inches to spare,
as there should be room also for the
screen that rests on top of this box.
The overflow from one box to an
other and to the distributing flume is
frames should not cover the full width
nor length of the boxes, so that if the
screens should (ill with trash, and over
flow, the water will return to the box
es rather than wash out over the land.
The screen frames are supported by
their protecting ends, and are placed
on top of the boxes.
The screen for the second box may
be set down in the box to gain a few
inches, especially if there is not much
fall to the ground. The screens must
not be nailed in place, as it is neces
sary to remove them to dump otF the
trash. In fart, it is advisable to beat
the BereenB thoroughly with a stick in
order to Bhake out all adhering trash.
The size of boxes naturally will be
governed by the amount of water to
be screened ; the Bize here described
should take care of 15 to 20 inches of
water, and these have been made large
enough to eliminate the necessity for
taking out the settlings of sand and
dirt as often as would be necessary
with smaller boxes. Furthermore,
NIMM nf ample size need cleaning
less frequently. It should be remem
bered also that these boxes serve a
valuable nurpose as settling chambers
for the sand and dirt earned along by
the water, which also clog holes in the
flume.
With such a screening system one
needs to spend but little time in look
ing after the irrigation. Once it has
been regulated, a little attention morn
ing and evening is all that is required
to open a hole here and there that may
have become closed. As water must
run for several days at a time on hilly
land to insure thorough soaking, it is a
relief to reduce the flow of water
through each rill to a minimum and. to
know that water is running constantly
through every rill.

The daily life of a missionary in Af
rica is filled with many things of inter
est, according to Mr. and Mrs. David
Hyerlee. Mr. and Mrs. Byerlee left
during the summer of 1!I20 for Eiolenga,
Congo Heine, where they are stationed
at a mission school.
"This Ubanifi district is a great
place for wild animals," writes Mrs.
Hyerlee to home folks. "The people
make their gardens in between their
houses and as close around them as
possible, because otherwise the ele
phants would destroy them tramping
through them. The land is low and
swampy and you can see for miles in
all directions across the waving ta'll
grass and occasional tall palms.
Sometimes in hunting buffalo the men
wade in water that has a solid bottom
of tall grass. "
Just before the letter was written
members of the mission party had re
turned from a hunt. They killed many
buffalo, Ji monkeys and some croco- :
diles and hippos. The buffalo were
dried or manufactured into sausage.
Dr. Jaggard, a member of the mis
sion, shot a huge crocodile that had
haunted a beach near the mission.
The big saurian measured over 10 feet.
It was skinned and the meat sold for
nominal Bums to the natives.
"There was not near enough to sn
around, if it had been given away."
writes Mrs. Ryerlee, "and so the only
way to dispose of it was to sell it to
the natives, as the gift method would
have caused trouble among those who
got left out."
Mr. Byerlee states in h's letter,
written August 14, that mid-Afnra
had been experiencing some very cold
weather. He writes :
"Some days the temperature has not
gone above SO degrees in the shade,
and the whites as well as the natives
have suffered. Several of us have
taken turns at bad colds, which affect
ed our lungs. You may think it
ftrange, hut there is more suffering
from cold here than from heat, esiieci-
elly among the natives They have no
blankets and must depend on their lit
tle ramp fires to keep them warm at
night.
"1 am not working 'eighteen hours a
day' but 1 am sure busy while the day
lasts. I have charge of the printers
and carpenters and have to see that
all are working and that their work is
all right. Then 1 have Basknta
(boys from 14 to 20 years old) to look
after in their school and work of clear
ing away the jungles and planting gar
dens for themselves and the mission."
