TI1K PAST.
In order to be enterprising It is
not uect'ssary to tie Irreverent or dis
respectful towards thuse who huve
-erved their country well In an ear
Her day. A man may honestly atid
eiitliiisiuitlcully brim over with the
lift) of to-day, titid still need not de
scend to belittling the achieve
n i i'ii (8 of his ancestors. It is wi-ll to
betr this in mind in tin-Be crisp utid
chirping modern times, when the
disposition is to speak trifliugly of
all that Is behind. .No writer on
the press should wantonly wound
the feelings of those who scored
(heir successes in the days that are
pat and gone.
Oregon lias entered upon an era
of greater enterprises. Forced by
'Oiiiietitioti of ambitious rivals, aud
(he iurit'ibiiug tides of Immigration,
to a swifter rate of progress, the
agricultural, commercial, manufac
turing and ftuauclal interests of the
state will make rapid advances.
rue parts already quiukeniug with
the new life are crowding aud in
iplriug the slower portions. Com
an luity Is jostling commuulty good
naturedly along lu the mutual for
ward march. The progressive, quick
to act. and novelty-seekiug elements
if the procession are apt to grow Im
patient of tlie conservative.
So it occurs that there is muoli
aid in the unfeeling and uuthliik-
ng portion of the press in derision
if the easy -goiuij style ot the past.
Ridicule unstinted Is poured out on
be mnssbacks. It is even bluted
in plain words that "with the pass
"ins away of the pioneers will also
"go the unbusinesslike methods
"that accompanied them In life."
I'bere is danger that in pressing
forward to the victories of to-day we
forget the real work aud worth of
the pioneers, and ruthlessly trample
upon their treasured memories.
It would seem to the thoughtful
-man that Oregon can be boomed for
be World's Fair without slander
ing her history. It would seem that
every allublou to a bopetul tuture
need not be accompanied by a slur
jxin the past. Iti adulation of the
superior legislation proposed by the
luunof euergy of tlie present, It is
not necessary to belittle the consti
tution aud all previously made laws.
There were men of enterprise,
bruins, courage and capacity la Ore

packed his grip lu Iowa. Kansas or
Nebraska to invade Oregon aud

There is a large element of people

who are not enterprising, w hoae

their country und fought a good

to sit lu the chimney corner of a
quiet life aud let the roar and bustle
of the present age goon. No matt
lias a right to rob them of J heir well

enterprise. )tut this element Is
found everywhere.
But not all the pioneers are averse

After nn Arctic ship has safely
speut a winter lu her snug harbor
of Ice, anch ired more firmly than
cau be done by the best t allien of
chain or hawser of rope and as the
spring is more or less ndvauccd, it
becomes imperative to get away
from this Arctic snehorage to re
sum 1 her operations in the icc-ladeu
waters. Even lu the same portal
the same time there may be con
siderable difference in time between
the dates u vessel under steam nnd
one uuder sails only would waul
to leave the winter harbor. A
steam vessel can depart from her
anchorage much earlier than, one
under sail, from the greater ease
with which she can contend against
the drifting packs, and always to be
expected ice forms and Ice pressures
that are particularly heavy anil fre
queut at this time under the action
of the constant storms; for the
ushering in of the Arctic summer,
as well a it departure, is strongly
assisted by violeut storms sweeping
the floating ice before them. The
latest time at which the sailing
vessel can depart will give her
many advantages in the way of
saving work. By the time she
want to leave the snow will have
melted oil the ice, which will save
shoveling it away along the part
where they expect to saw through It
In the undertaking of making au
open channel from the ship's post
tlon to the water outside in which
the vessel can be floated out. If the
sailing vessel should wait till very
late and in early arctic navigation
it was customary for Bitch vessels to
delay until they were liberated by
the forces of nature, the Ice raelllnir,
or till it broke up by some storm
much of the ice through which the
crew will have to saw may be melt
ed, and even a foot or eighteen
Inches less seem as if half the labor
bad disappeared; so In almost a
geometrical ratio does the fatigue of
this kind of work increase with the
thickness of t lie ice. A favorite way
with those understanding the mat
ter is to assist the solar rays In cut
ting into the ice by sprinkling a
wry light coating of black earth
along the contemplated scarf lines of
the chatinel, which will have
to cut into a deep trench
by the time sawiug commences,
tihould this coating of earth be at
all thick it will cut in the opposite
way aud be a p'otection from the
sun's warmth iustead of acting on
the Ice by conducting it and melt
ing It foster. Any dark substances
is as good as dirt, and a favorite one
of the whalers is to take long sfnnds
of kelp that have been thrown upon
the shore aud stretch litem along
the scarf lines of the rbauuel.
About the middle of July, while
walking ou the Ice of Viutoria chan
nel, West of King William's laud,
laaw a kelp stock twenty or thirty
feet long, probably carried out ou
the Ice from the shore iu some heavy
storm that had cut its way fully six
feet iuto the salt filter Ice, and
would btve had only a foot or two
more to go to cut clear through and
be back lu Its old element. The
width of the little channel it cut
was not over an inch or two, and
one could hardly get his baud in it
edgewise, and the only way to have
gotten it out would have been with
a hook aud liue. If a ship had been
iu au harbor near by and used a line
of these black kelp stocks to melt
the ice wbvre needed, the labor that
could have been saved In cutting
out is evident to any oue. This was
fully, a week or ten days before the
Ice broke up, aud I doubt not
that Ibis plant bad cut its way
through to salt water before that
eveut took place. Where the sand
aud dirt from shore are carried out
on the Ice near by, it Is the first to
melt, leaving wide clmiiuel of
opsii watur f.om ten to fifty yards,
aooordln-c to the shallowness of the
water uear the shore, und this fact
was deeply impressed ou my mind,
us through this water, with its un
derlying mud, we had to curry our
camping aud cooking ellects every
morning und eveulug when loading
aud unloading (he sledge, after the
now hud disappeared fruu) the
land, aud Hie sail water Ice of the
sea was the only place we coald
sledge, Curing high tide, which
only rose a foot aud a half, however,
It was sometimes impossible to wade
through the combined mud and
water, aud a fuvorablo state of the
tide, small as it was, would have to
be awaited, The various slates of
the shore ice have considerable to do
with getting out of au co bound
harbor In the spring. The best
conditions Is where the harbor way
la divided liitoaiiiiiiieriind an outer
oue, aud Hi outer harbor Is fuuuel
shapsd, po that, by cutting ofl a lew
of the serrated edires, the whole
outer harbor ice Is then floated out
at a favorable turu of the tian as a
solid piece, or us an icu-llue, to use
Arctic parlance. This is especially
easy to do where the rise and fall of
the tide Is greater than the depth to
which the silt water will freeze,
(be oscillation of the harbor Ico
with these high tides keeping the
ice broken up in a hninmocky state
along the shores, and consequently
requiring but littte sawing or cutting
to liberate 'the whole mass. Of
course all this requires many favor
able conditions, all or wulcli are
seldom found In one harbor, the
nearest approach to It I ever saw or
heard of being in Marble Island
harbor In North Hudson bay, where
the American whalers cruising lu
these waters generally make their
winter port. The object of an inner
aud outer harbor is that the Ice iu
tlie latter may be floated out in tnto,
as described above, without cutting
a channel through Its whole length.
While tlie advantage of an Inner
harbor is that it is extremely unsafe
to float a vessel out in a solid floe of
ice, for should it go to pieces In u
violent gale It would be almost sure
to prove destructive to her, and the
outer harbor ice removed, there is
but a short channel to be cut In tlie
Inner one to the ship's position. It
might be worth while to describe
a cutting out of tills harbor as we
saw it, as a good typical example of
that part of Arctic navigation. The
master of the George nnd Mary had
not been fortunate lu his fall cruise
after wl a'ep, having pecured nene:
and in o.der' to Let out of wlutcr
harbor very early in the spring, be
bad chosenthe outer harbor lu
which to spend the winter, us be
would cut out before the usual time,
which I might say Is about the
middle of June. For many days
before the actual lubor commenced.
the out door exercise of tlie ship's
crew, which hud tx-en kept up un
remitllngly through the whole win
ter, was Blowly Increased, to get
their muscles somewhat hardened
lor the task ahead of them. The
channel to be dug was about half a
mile long aud about ten or fifteen
feet wider than the ship's beam.
This channel is uever brought
up directly in the rear of the ice
bound ship, but alongside ot her at
some distance, fifteen or twenty feet
away, forsliould thesliip draw more
water than the depth the Ice freezes,
and thus subject her to pressure
from the incoming or out going tide
uuder the ice, this pressure might
bo strong euough to tear her loose
during a strong flow outward, uud
before she hud her spars and top
masts aud other appliances taken
down the fall before, In order.
About the middle of April the huge
Ice-Baws are gotten out aud clcauid
of rust, and their teeth shaipeued
by the ship's carpenter as if some
parties aboard had some Immense
wood i-awlug coutiact. If the lee is
not over three or four feet thick the
common one-man ice saw used at
liomu in filling up the Ice-houses,
may be uutlluleut to cut u scurf
through It. With each foot iu
thickness au additional tniiti U need
ed. That Is with about six or seveu
feet of ice the usual thickness iu
Marble Islaud harbor three or four
man saws are needed for cutting,
the saws being a'xmt twelve feet
loug. Such length as this makes
the saws very heavy, If thick enough
uot to wurpiu sawiug, and the labor
is very severe In lifting them the full
length of the arms to give good
"play" to the ice-saw lu cutting, Ii
the saw Is uot thick H will cramp
with every vuoiug hardness of the
ice, and become harder to work than
lu thicker Ice, When the Ice gels
over ilx or st veil feet thick it be
c. m Bpraitically impossible for men
lo cut through it with iie-suws
worked by baud power. hSucii im
