Pacific Northwest Rivers and Lakes

Pacific Northwest Rivers and Lakes
The Columbia river is said to
carry off volume of water equal
to that of the Mississippi. Though.
not so wide, the current is more
rapid. The channel is of great
average depth. This river may be
said to be in Washington territory.
Though for three hundred and
fifty miles from the sea to Wallula
it is the boundary line, from the
latter point it meanders northward
through Washington territory, a
distance of nearly 800 miles to the
British line. After its passage
into fereign soil, the river returns
to the territory by way of Clarks
fork, and meanders nearly
south to lake Pen d'Oreille,
a distance of over one hundred
miles. The other great fork,
Lewis or Snake river, comes in at
Ainsworth, the present terminus
of the Northern Pacific going
cast. This fork is large and i'm
portant river. Most of its great
waters are also in Washington
territory. But there is still an
other branch of the Columbia,
along which the Northern Pacific
will be running at some time-the
Yakima, the valley of which con-
tains lands of superior grain and
produce raising qualities. This
branch starts in the Cascade noun
tains and near the waters of Puget
sound, and runs southeasterly in
eastern Washington. Many Of
these streams are fed by the noun
tain SHOWS and for the most of the
year afford cold and pure water.
Though small by comparison they
are navigable for small steamboats,.
In the old settlements the fine
grass and farming lands along
their margin have long since
been occupied. The explorer
will find, however, many fine
lands in the back country
along streams of similar kind.
Among the attractions of our
Northwestern territories are the
lake regions. The lakes are num-
erous, many of them large, notably
Pen dOreille, about thirty miles
long north and south, surrounded
by good lands and pine timber.
The Northern Pacific will soon be
finished to this point and afford an
outlet westward. Near lake Cueur
d'Alene, some forty miles from
Pen dOreille, is the old mission
and Ceur dAlene reservation.
Here is a beautiful country. The
northern waters of Cpur d'Alene
are some seven miles from the
line OF the Northern Pacific
Lake-Chelan, one hundred and
fifty miles west from Pen d'0reille
and two hundred miles north oi
Walla-walla by way of the Colum-
bia river, is forty miles in length
and situated in Stevens county,
Washington territory. Back oI
Seattle, and but a short distance
from it is lake Washington, TWEEN.
ty or more miles in length. Near
Steilacoom, in Pierce county, are &
chain of lakes, one quite large and
a curiosity. American lake has
no visible outlet, is the receptacle
of several streams and never
overhows its banks. 1t is likely
the source of many fine springs
pouring out through the hills far
and near. Those who are partia
to settlement near lake scenery
can be accommodated in the
Pacific northwest.

The Way Plate Glass Is Made.

To cast. roll, polish and burnish plate
glass requires machinery of peculiar con-
struction, and n plant that is costly by
reason of its complex nature The pouring
of liquid glass from the furnace upon the
cast iron plates, and the subsequent rolling
are processes comparatively simple. ANY
housekeeper who has used a rolling pin on n
batch Of pie-crust dough performs an opera
tion very similar to this stage of plate glass
making. II is the succeeding process of
grinding and polishing and fnsl furnishing
that require time and costly mechanism. At
ter leaving the rolls and bed plate the glass
is rippled and rough. and only fit for gratings
for skylights. Each plate must be trans
ferred to machines that resemble the
turntables of railway. On that
revolving platform the glass is ce-
mented into "A bed of plaster Of Paris, and the
machine started. Bearing heavily on the
surface Of the glass are blocks Of metal, and
while in motion the surfaces are kept sup
piled with sharp sand and a constant stream
of water. The next stage of the glass grind
ing process is the same as to machinery, but
instead of sand coarse emery is used. Then
finer emery is used in another revolving
table, and on for half dozen times. The
final polishing is done by heavy reciprocal
ing devices. fed with rouge, and maintaing
a constant back and forward motion, and al
so lateral movement over the surface OF the
crystal. All this requires the assistance OF a
large force Of men, many of them skilled la
borers. After going through these different
grindiDgs and polisbings the plate that meas
ured an inch in thickness is only three-quar-
tiers of an inch thick, has lost all its rough
ness, and is ready for the show window of the
purchaser r. IHtsburg Telegraph.

tened on the finger of n washwoman through

The lady of a certain house in this city had
advertised for a laundress to come To her
house on certain DAYS. The advertisement
was responded to by a neat, rather refined
looking woman. When the laundrcss had
begun her work the lady saw shining on u
shapelv hand pretty and peculiar ring. She
requested the privilege of looking at it, the
woman hesitatcd "A moment, and then ner-
vously held out her hand.

"At what college did he graduate?'
''At Yale"
''In what class"
"rhe class of 70"
That ended the interview for the time as
the lady could by no means get from the
washwoman the name of her husband. The
lady had been thus unladylike, perhaps, and
curious because her son wore a class ring ex-
acty like the one in question, and was grad
uate in the class of 10 at Yale. She told him
the story. and one night he followed the laun-

They All DO 1t.

The use Of stimulants or narcotics, the lat
ter being used for the same purpose as the
former-which is the peculiar sensation on
the nervous system which is supposed to be
agreeable-is general with every portion Of
the human race. Savages make fermeDted
liquors from roots and the sap of trees; half
civilized races make them from milk, and
the most highly civilized use the processes of
fermentation and distillation, taking the
mash from matted grain and the juice Of va
rious fruits as the bases of the manufactures
Where stimulating drinks are not used,
opium, tobacco, preparations of hemp, the
betel-nut and other substances are used for
the purposes Of intoxication, using this term
in its widest and literal sense as an effect
produced upon the nerves bv the use Of sub
stances of such character as would be poi
soDous if taken in excessive quantities We
cannot recall to our memory any portion Of
the human race which does not make use of
stimulants Of some kind in some manner.
