MOUNTAIN IS BLOWN AWAY.
Gigantic Explosion Near Mosier on the
Columbia Elver.
Correspondence from hosier in tho
Orcgoniun tells of tho firing of the big
blast near that place. 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

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."

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

more questions thnn a whole famUy

'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
