It says: An electric spark that ran along a wirq into the heart of the basalt mountain opposite. Eighteen-Mile Isl and, on tho Cflltimliln rlvn . .,. 1400 kegs of imprisoned powder , and tho resulting explosion rattled windows here, two miles away, across tho river. "With a roar lik a broadsido from a battleship, tho cliff marked for destruc tion crumbled as an eggshell crumbles in a man's fist, and fell away from tho mountainside. Tho precipice, ISO feet high and 50 feet back from tho river, was Teduced to a hugo pile of broken stones, with hardly a piece larger than a man's head. As tho mass of rock toppled) into the river a big wave was formed, which ran foaming to tho op posite shore and broko on tho bank. Tho blast was laid and fired by men in tho employ of P, P. Johnson, a" con tractor for the Portland & Soa,ttle railway, and tho three mines of ex plosive took a crew of men two months to maku Tieady for tho shot. Powder that was exploded amounted to 35,000 pounds, and tho blast cost the Portland & Seattlo railway between $G00O and $7000. Tho explosion throw down about 40,000 cubic yard of rock, de molishing a cliff with 200 feet frontage on tho river, 180 feet in height, and running back into tho mountain 50 feet. Tho shot piled up rock just where it is nccdud to inako a grado along the faco of a mountain that rises sheer from tho river. A main tunnel 50 feet long was driven into tho faco of the cliff on a DAILY CAPITAL SOXmSAL, SAXEM, OBEOON, THTJBSPAY, JUNE 21, 1900. Ihh rfV I SM3tf v f.jJU. level with the grade of the railroad. At that depth, two .branch drifts were run at right angles, one 75 feot and tho dthe? 43 feet in length. Three mines of blasting powder were then laid, one at the end of each tunnel, and rock tightly, tamped behlud tho ex plosives, while a wire was laid to each cache of powder for setting it off sim ultaneously by electricity. Tho work of preparing and firing tho blast, which is one of the biggest ever shot along tho Columbia, was under tho gencnnl supervision of Engineer AV. O. Sayles, in charge of a division of the Portland fc Seattlo construction. Announcement of tho blast had been mado, and many of tho pcoplo of tho nearby country turned out to seo it. To thoses who saw it, it brought to mind tho fabled duel between Mount Hoodi and Mount St. Helen's, when tho two volcanoes threw stones at each other and demolished the Bridge of tho Gods that Indian legend assays stood but a short distance where tho big blast was fired. Death from Lockjaw Never follows an injury dressed with Bucklen's Arnica Salve. Its antiseptic and healing properties prevent blood poisoning. Chas. Oswold, merchant, of Benssolaorsville, N. Y., writes: "It cured Scth Burch, of this place, of the ugliest soro on his neck I ever saw." Cures cuts, wounds, burns, and sores 25c at J. C. Perry's drug store. A EVmarkabla Story. Tho Ashland Tidings has always been no'ed for its conservativencss and Its discoumgement of anything like light mindedness or trifling with tho truth. Therefore, it is hnrd to explain tho np pearancct of tho following in its col umns, oxcept ujon the ground of tem porary aberration brought about by the result of tho election. It's a good sto")y anyway. "There are few residents of Ashland who are awan that their city has the dUtincltion of possessing a vcrv ie markable tree. Xot remote from the Presbyterian chinch there stands a large tree, around the trunlo of which thiire climbs a luxuriant vine that spreads in graceful profusion Into its lower branches. It is not the sizo and beauty of this tree, however, that makes it an object of interest. From data gathered from a more or les re liable source, our amazement was boundless to learn that within the pur lieus of this tree there are no less than 500 birds' nests, sheltering 500 feath- j ercd families, with an average of seven members to each household, making n total bird population of 2.500, not much of a tree for birds either. "Our informant firther excitiw our wonder when unblushlngly ho naively tells us that a missile thrown at rnu dom nmong tho close foliage will dis- lodge from threo to ten young birdlings and hurl them screaming to the iwrth 'wi'h broken wiugs or legs, while a vio lent shaking of a limb is instnntly fol lowed by a rain of scores of tiny eggs that strew the ground like hailstones. "On one occasion. o the story runs, tho flnsklllcdl lnndllng of a pruning knifn unexpectedly decapitated six lit tlo youngsters at ono fell stroke, there by causing great consternation among the inhabitants. On bright, sunshiny mornings when the 500 dickey birds open thh 500 little throats in ono common outburst of melody, the welkin rings. Verily hls is a marvelous treo nnd may bo seen by nny one who can find it. Any reputable citizen who may doubt tho above statement can verify tho same if ho will npply to the son of tho. proud father who has tho honor of possessing both' the tree and ihe boy. Sometime when wo find the young man at liberty ami in- a proper state of mind we win onueavo" to inveigle him into ftifish story, nnd will probably bo well repaid for our trouble." " Tho Bee's Mean Trick, Tominlo wis visiting on a farm for the first thno in his life. The acres and acres of open ground, the blossom ing fields of clover, the cows, tho sluvp, tho pigs and all the other ani mals running nboM the barnyard,1 and feeding In 'the tnendows wcro nil very interesting to Tomnue, and lie naked more questions thnn a whole famUy could nuswer. 'Tonnivle was exploring ono day when ho came upon a lot of boxes sitting in a row agaiust tho fence. A lot of curious bugs were buzzing around, "Como kick from there, Tonunle," Called his uncle. "What aro they, under" said Tom nviiv "Those are bees nnd they'll sting you If you dou't mind." Tommlo bad never seen nny bees before, nnd he didn't know what "sting" meant. Ho wns about to nsk when a troop of calves came running by, and) ho turned to follow thcin, Tho next day Tominlo walked around tho hives very cautiously, and listen od with delight to tho droning sound that came from them. A buzzing bug lit upon a (nnnll clover blossom near htm. Tommie set his bare foot upon It to see what It would do, A sharp pain dartedt through tho solo of his foot, and he ran for the house, crying loudly. His mother met him at tho houso with alarm in her face. "What is tho HEAR PADErBvSK! AND fcMELBA.
