Under this system Of landtenure the value
of land has risen in Guernsey TO an amount
that might well make any Irish proprietor de.
sire to see it established in Ireland. No land
I is sold in Guernsey under f1O0 an acre, and
in the neighborhood of the town good land per
acre sold in lots, will fetch several hundred
pounds. And the well-cultivated soil richly
repays the skillful cultlvator at this high price.
A startling wealth Of vegetables, fruit and
flowers lies heaped on market days in rich
profusion on the long line Of stalls that extend
beneath the lofty arcades of the fine building
which alorns the town. Plenty and cheap
ness dwell together side 10y side. High farm
ing in England fails TO produce per acre as
large an amount of food as that raised from
the soil by the Guernsey cultivator of few
acres of land, and his wel-fed COW gives re-

that obtained on a Cheshire dairy farm. IN

"Oh, yes" she replied, while her eyes grew
larger than ever.

purchase it of you, but as it is, | can only

"Y-yes," she answered, as she leaned for.

had moles and freckles, but it was none of his

The Glacial Period.

In North America the surface OF the coun.
try was probably much the same As now before
the glacial period, and tins was so even to the
small confgurations The land was probably
much covered with detritus. Two great gla-
clal systems are recognized, the eastern and
the western. The former extended from south
ern Canada westward to the Mississippi and
as far south as Keutuckey. 1t moved from
the north on northeast, and was connected with
the great Arctic ice sea which moved through
Davis's Strait In Canada the ice-worn rocks
are very marked. The Catskill mountains,
also have been admirably striated, and the
markings are very fresh no rock marks could
be more so. A side glacier from the Catskllls
returned to its parent glacier in the hudson
valley, and sometimes the markings follow the
direction of the main line and sometimes that
Of the side line, according as one encroached
upon the other. These Catskill markings are
1000 feet above the sea, showing that the ice
was about 5000 feet thick in the HUDSON val
ley. The eastern glacial system extended
across the country southwest of Lake Superior
for several hundred miles. This Ice not only
polished the rocks, but left deposits of clay full
of stones. The chief rapids of the St. Law
renee river are caused by deposits of boulder
clay which is so hard and compact that the
current does not wear it away. In this east
ern glacial system the ice was probably more
than 1900 feet thick in some places. Very few
facts have been gathered about the western sea
of ice. 1t was existing in the Rocky noun
tains when the eastern system prevailed. Meas
urments as to the thickness and size of the
glaciers are lacking. In the second Colorado
canyon, the sides are completely glaciated from
bottom to top. These walls are from 500 to
600 feet high, and must have been formed
before the glacial period. At the thickest
point the glacier was 500 and 1,7OOteet thick.
1t is probable that Salt Lake was covered with
ice, for the rocks about there show the action
of ice Nusk.ox bones are found there, and
that was an Arctic animal-Plof6sS0r Geikie

n correspondent W tu0 O'cyOH"H,
writing from New Tacoma under
date of the 18th inst, accuses the
Republican Central Committee of
having :" fixed up things" at itsSute
meeting, in the interest of the " De
functo Governor" Whether the
surmise is correct, Us to tho object,
or not, we have no accurate means at
present of determining, but that the
apportioument is obviously defective
and, is made in The interest of some
body no one can have any doubt
who has studied the peculiar tactics
of the wire-pullers who constitute
the committee. 1t would be as i'm
possible for the big capital head of
the Committee to perform any act
for the party without plotting fol
some means to maintain the domi-
neering power of the clique which
controls it, as it would be for him
cease to breathe while enjoying the
full vigor of health.
As an indication of the way the
rule works, riyidly applied, let us
take, for instance, Columbia county.
She is allowed a delegate for 173
persons voting two years ago, while
King may send one for JAG votes.
Spokan is given on, delegate, while
Pierce, with no larger population is
allowed five. 1t is such glaring dis
PARTIES as these and a thorough
knowledge that the population east of
the mountains has rapidly augment
ed since the vote two years ago,
! Which has caused the Oregonian cor
respondent 10 "speak out in meet
ing" The apportionmeut in full, as
made by the Committee, gives Pierce
5 delegates, Thurston 5, Chehalis 2,
Clark G, Columbia Z, Cowlitz 3.
Island 2, Jefferson 3, King 10, Kit
sap 4, Klickitat 4, Lewis 3, Mason l,
Pacific 3, San Juan 2, Skamania j !,
Snohomish 3, Stevens 3, Spokan ], ,
Wahkiakum /, Clallam 2, Walla-
walla 8, Wbatcom 5, Whitman G.,
Yakima ga total of 81 delegates.
It will be seen at glance that the
division of representation is exceed.
Iinglv unjust, especially when the
changes of population incident to
the great length of time which has
elapsed are taken into consideration.
But then it is deemed necessary, for
some purpose, to place the control
of the Convention within certain
limits defined by precise geographic
cal bounds, and 10! the work is no
sooner suggested then~ it is done.
1t was doubtless, asthe correspond
ent surmises, prompted by the dead
duck of the Federal ring, but wheth-
err the object is to defeat Mr.. Brents'
by unfair representation in the Con-
vention. as q punishment for his
lukewarm course while bis excel
lency's head was on the block, or to
secure the nomination for himself,
remains to be developed by circum-
stances. It is, however, quite. evil
dent that the allotment is made for
precisely the same ends that the
committee was called together last
February, to subserve the selfish OBJ
jects of the little clique which has
,, it's headquarters in Olympia.
