At the captain's table on an Atlantic
liner a young woman idly inquired how
far the ship was from the nearest
land. Several passengers would have
said offhand, "About eight hundred
miles." But the captain turned the
question over to a quiet gentleman who
looked ut his watch and at a chart and
amazed his hearers by answering,
“Just about seventy yards.”
“The land I speak of Is just thirty-
six fathoms beneath this ship," con­
tinued the expert oceanographei. “It
Is the summit of the Laura Ethel
mountain, which Is 20,000 feet above
the lowest level of the Atlantic basin.
If It were some two hundred feet high­
er, or the sea were two hundred feet
lower, you would call U an island.
In effect, the Atlautlc Is a huge con­
tinent boasting a superficial area of
25.000,000 square miles. It is 9,000
miles long and 2,700 miles broad. The
depth of the water that covers It Is
by no means so considerable as people
used to Imagine. Oceanography as
u science may be said to date only
from about 1850, but—thanks chiefly
to the labors of the cable-laying nnd
cable-repairing ships—our knowledge
of the configuration of the bed of the
ocean grows greater every year.
The Laura Ethel mountain, discover­
ed In 1878, Is the uppermost peak of
one of the most celebrated of the sub­
marine elevations In the Atlantic.
Mount Chaucgr, at the eastward of
It, was revealed to oceanographers In
1850. Sainthill, which is westward of
both, has the honor to he the first
mountain discovered in the Atlantic.
It became known In 1832.
Prior to the laying of the first At­
lantic cable Lieutenant Maury, United
States navy, made It known that a
wide plateau exists beneath the ocean,
running from Ireland to Newfound­
land. It seemed so admirably suited
to the purpose of cable laying that he
modestly called It Telegraphic plateau,
but In most charts it bears the discov­
er's name.
The location of "Davy Jones’ Lock­
er” might be said to have been estab­
lished with the discovery of Sainthill.
It has been estimated that at the base
of Ibis eminence the relics of not few­
er than seven thousand wrecks lie
scattered. Or one might ascribe that
grewsome distinction to the Faraday
hills, discovered In 1883 and lying be­
tween Mount Chaucer and Laura
Ethel mountain. These hills are noted
among oceanographers for the ntnount
of wreckage of which they are the
monument.
There are cavernous depths, of
course, In the Atlantic, as well as ma­
jestic heights. Four miles and a half
may be taken to be the greatest. The
average is probably about two miles.
Heights and depths alike are merely
hidden land, which may some day be
exposed by the mighty workings of na­
ture.
Meantime comparatively few changes
occur. Beneath the ocean there are no
frosts, no lightnings, no glaciers, no me­
teorological agents at work. If It were
not for the eddies and the destruction
nnd accumulation of nnfmnl life, these
Atlantic hills and vales might rest as
Immutable as the peaks and craters of
the moon, where there is no utmos- -
phere to cause decay.
How German Potash Is Mined.
Potash in Germany occurs in the
form of a rock salt und runs In seams
of .30 feet or more in thickness. As
mined, ’t has about the same consist­
ency as rhe common rock salt of com­
merce and Its grinding is easy. It is
ground to about the fineness of a
coarse sand; in this form It is used
for domestic agriculture and at the
present time it Is also mostly exported
In this form. The depths at which the
true potash deposits are situated ren­
der It necessary to sink shafts leading
to levels of as much as 5,000 feet be­
low the surface. Horizontal cuttings
extend up to two miles In length.
The miners themselves are, unlike
coal miners, entirely free from the dan­
ger of fire damp. Occasionally dan­
ger arises from hydrogen, the blue
flames of which may sometimes be
seen flickering on the walls after a
blasting operation In a newly opened
mine.
Sulphuretted hydrogen has
caused the death of a few miners and
carbonic acid gas renders suffocation
possible.
Heavier Trucks Coming.
At a recent meeting of the Cleve-
land and Detroit sections of the Ro­
clety of Automobile Engineers, P. D.
Litchfield, n factory manager, express­
ed the belief that the heavy tonnage
truck of the future would be some
form of the multiple-wheel vehicle, just
as the multiple-wheel freight car
succeeded the single-truck type in the
transportation of heavy loads. »Experi­
ments have been made with the six­
wheeled truck of this description, and
the results are said to be very gratify­
ing, easier on both the tires and roada.
Where It Went
Irate Father—What, more money!
He«' here, young man, what did yon do
with that last five hundred I gave you?

Transcript.
From “Publick Occurrence«," Published
In 1690, Are Descended All Pres­
ent-Day Amerloan Organs of
Public Opinion.
I
ion-xvi de In st it action
Czf
The first newspaper to be printed on
this continent made its appearance on
Sept. 25, 1690. It was Benjamin Har­
ris’ Publlek Occurrences, published
from the London Coffee house in Bos-
ton.
An account of Its first issue Is out-
lined by George Henry Payne, In his
History of American Journalism.
I
The author is a young man of long
newspaper experience, having until re­
cently served the New York Evening
Telegram In the capacity of dramatic
editor. Mr. Payne is now a New York
tax commissioner.
The publisher of our first newspaper,
In bls o[H*ning statement, announced
that he would take pains to trace
down the disseminators of any false
or malicious reports.
Then followed the news or "Occur-
ences,” which—considering that this o
was seventy yenrs after the landing
of the Pilgrims on Plymouth rock and
two hundred years after the Invention
of printing -shows that our pioneer
journalist was not lacking In what Is
now called news sense. We are inform­
ed that the christianized Indians In
Plymouth had appointed a day of
thanksgiving and their example Is
commended to other non-Indlan neigh­
bors In a line that seems sarcastic.
There Is a brief mention of the fact
that two children had been stolen by
Indians from the settlement of Chelms­
ford, the correspondent ami not the ed­
itor being responsible for the fact that
the names are not given.
From Watertown there Is communi­
cated the news that an old man (again
the correspondent neglects to give the
name), “having lost tils wife, fell into
a fit of melancholy, during which the
devil took possession of him, with the
result that one morning early In the
month he was found hanging In the
cowbarn.” It is noted that the small­
pox Is abating In Boston, but that an­
other disease—seeming to be more or
less of a malignant fever, not unlike
the Influenza with which this genera­
tion is acquainted—is growing into a
common thing, nnd the report states
that 320 people had died by the last
visitation of smallpox.
o
Two fires are reported, and with
much feeling it Is noted that in one v*
them a PRINTING PRESS (the cap­
itals are Harris’) had been destroyed.
It was In his account of the battle
with the French and Indians that Har­
ris printed news which was to be his
undoing. Read even today his report
of the expedition against the French
and the use of the friendly Maquas by
Gov. Winthrop Is not bad reporting
when one considers that reporting had
yet to be developed or even inaug­
urated. It was a report, however, that
contained matters that the authorities
were not desirous of having printed,
1
for it told how the Indian allies of
the colonists had treated the French
8*o
prisoners with great barbarity.
DRY GOODS, Ready-to-Wear,
Clothing, Furnishings and Shoes
Since opening our store in Tillamook, prices have come
down considerably. This in itself is proof that we lead and
others follow.
Now. please remember : We have only one price and it’s
always the lowest, quality considered. We do not buy special «
bargains or bankrupt stocks to bring prices down. Conducting [|
sales of any kind is strictly against our policy. We don’t have □
to have any, as every day is bargain day at the J. C. Penney ||
Co.’s Store.
a
Buying for 297 stores enables us to buy for less than the
one-store merchant. This alone would suggest a saving.
Be­
8*
sides, we buy for cash and sell for cash, thus keeping down the
overhead expense to a minimum. Every benefit we get, you
in return derive, as we only want our legitimate profit.
We attribute the success of our stores ‘‘to giving our pat­
rons honest merchandise for less money,” treating every person
alike—your money is just as good as that of the man who has
millions, “goods marked in plain figures.”
There is no need of yon storing goods away until you
need them, just because they are offered you at a special Sale.
Supply your demands as you need them at the J. C. Penney
Co. Store, and we assure you you will be money ahead.
We cordially invite you to come in and make comparison
as to quality and price, and we feel sure yon will be convinced
that this store is the logical place to trade.

Another Belgian “Tragedy.”
A London wine house hns received
■ considerable stock of wine from Bel-
glum under what are described as ex­
traordinary circumstances. In the first
two yenrs of the war, the chronicler
says, the Germans did not requisition
much of the Belgian wine except at
certain points, but they made Inven­
tory of all there was In sight or of
which they learned, and as time wore
on they grabbed It. One family near
Blege had a large quantity of fine vint­
age Burgundy and the owner decided
to take a desperate chance. It some­
times is wise to do openly what would
he perilous to do secretly, so he cased
up his wine, loaded It on trucks and
carted It through the streets In broad
daylight to an Ice factory. lie expect­
ed every moment he would be halted
and called to military headquarters,
but he was not. He got his treasure
to the ice house and hid It away so
well thnt It remained undiscovered un­
til after the close of the war. Then,
when he was Impoverished otherwise,
he dug it up and sold it at a glorious
price, nnd now Londoners are smack­
ing their lips and blessing him for his
cleverness.—Commerce and Finance.
Machine to Sack Potatoes.
Now that machines for digging po­
tatoes are in common use, the next
step Is to provide automatic means
for loading them into sacks. An Ohio
Inventor has just developed such a
mechanism, In the shape of a three­
wheeled trailer which attaches to the
back of the digger, according to Pop­
ular Mechanics Magazine. The front
wheel has a caster mounting, en­
abling It to follow the digger In turn­
ing at the end of a row. An elevated
Inclined screen receives the potatoes
from the conveyor of the digger. The
sacks are hung on four hooks nt the
rear, their bottoms supported by a
small platform.

Planet Polar Cap«
A contributor to the English Mc-
chanlc stntes that polar caps were
plainly visible on Venus In June, 1019,
through his three-lnch refracting tel­
escope, which has a magnifying power
of 100. The caps appeared to be nt
an intense whiteness that resembled
one of the large craters on the moon.
The Scientific American announces
that a similar observation Is reported
from M. Flammarton's observatory at
Juvisy, France.

It must be a hot summer in Okla­
homa. The Daily Oklahoman, Okla­
homa City hard-boiled Democratic
organ, says that what the Republican
party proposes as a substitute for
the Wilson League.of Nations is a
league with K ush I s , Mexico and Tur-
key. Just how The Oklohoman get«
that way is not clear, but It must be
f
the heat. The Americanizing reser­
vation« proponed by the Senate would
have been accepted by the European
power«. They realized we were get­
ting nothing out of the war, while
they were getting much a league
would help Rt.'.blIlze. The ob«tacle
wan not tlie«e power«, but tho «tub-
bo mesa of the Wilful Ono, who de­
clared It mu«t be "My league or
none.” In thl« position he woe «up-
ported by the rubber-Htamp state»-
men, the rubber-stamp organs and
the rtibber-atamp thinkers- by no­
body else. Those who were Americ­
ans first saw no reason why the Un­
ited State«, in signing a contract in­
volving obligations rather than ben­
efits, should not be permitted to have
a little something to say about what
was In the agreement, or why. since
so much <it It wns made In Europe, so
little of it, ut least, shouldn t be made
in Washington.
