The wet weather Of the past two
weeks should bring with Il a lesson TO
our farmers. Although, as near as we
can learn the loss Of hay and grain has
not been very large, yet the fact re-
mains that il the harvest had been a
few days farther advanced, or the hay
ling a few days later the loss might have
seen heavy one. Throughout the
valley very little preparation is made
BY the majority Of farmers for securing
|their crops in case Of rainy harvest.
The irregnlarity OF the rainfall for the
past few seasons would seem to indicate
that the old time certainty Of the wet
and dry seasons Is fast becoming q
thing OF the past. and that rains may
be expected in july and August as
well as in November or January. In
almost all Of the wheat and bay pro-
|ducing states Of the Union the utmost
care Is taken to get the hay aud grain
ip out Of the way OF storms. because it
|is well known that storms may come
during the harvest season. As fast IS
|tbe hay crop is cured it is sheltered and
all kinds of grain are either housed or
|stacked, and thus protected from the
bad resnlts-of inclement weather. That
|the same care should be taken in this
valley Is fast becoming necessity, and
1T would be : wire move If our farmers
would profit by their narrow escape
|ihis season, and provide some means Of
|shelter for the grain and hay crop Of
the season of 1882.
It is an acknowledged fact that all
climates vary more or less, sand although
we cannot attempt TO point out the
causes of what is evidently q change to
some extent in the climate of this sec
|tion, yet it is well to prepare for It.
The expense of tarpaulins or hay bar
racks. and threshing sheds, would be a
small item compared to The loss Of
crops through want Of them. We
hope our fsrmers will not let the les.
son Of this year 60 by unheeded, and
that by another harvest they will he
prepared for similar emergency.

The local pages of onr State ex-
changes from every section, seem to
have more hopeful tone, and the old
cry Of dull times IS heard far less Of
t:H than that of "better times" which
seems to be gradually taking is place.
The State is certainly receiving more
attention from capitalists and imni-
grants than ever before, and the iuf,,-
sion Of these elements is just what we
need. There is room and opportunity
for both, and We are glad to see then,
eome.

/ The new Guion steamship Alaska.
which is due here to-day, is one of the
largest steamers aiioat. She was built
at the yard of Elder x Co, on the CLYDE
where the famous Arizona was launched.
Her length over all is $50 feet, and her
breadth Of beam is 80 feet Her engines,
which are something like those of the
Arizona, are of 10000 indicated horse
power, while her measurement is about
5000 tons The pitch of her screw is
81 feet. She has four masts, the two
forward ones being square-rigged and the
others fore and.ait rigged. Her spread
of canvas is quite large, and, with a
favorable wind, would enable her to
make good rate of speed without the
aid of the engines. She carries two
large smoke tunnels.
She promises to prove a fast vessel,
having.averaged l6 miles an hour during
her trial trip with only five of her boil
ers in operation. Her promenade deck
is $50 feet long, and extends the width
Of the vessel. The grand saloon, which
is placed amidships, is 6i feet long and
extends the entire breadth of the ship.
II contains tables and revolving chairs
for $50 passengers, and is very hand
somely upholstered and carpeted. The
ceiling is high and elaborately finished.
Over the saloon is high dome covered
with stained glass. This rises q feet
from the cabin deck, and is 2i feet long
by 10 wide. The saloon can be APP
preached by two spacious entrances, one
Of which is companionway OF unusual
width. Running forward and aft from
the saloon are passages, on either side of
which are the sta,erooms, which con-
tain every means for comfort. Each
state room has an electric bell, and the
quarters of the first-class passengers are
lighted by some $50 electric lamps. The
is furnished in the most elegant style.
There Is also large smoking room, "A
feet by %, provided with lounges.
All of the main saloon is the interme-
diate or second cabin. Although not
furnished in so costly manner as the
nrst cabin, great pains have been taken
to make it as comfortable as possible,
and it is very well lighted and ventilat-
ed. The steerage is approachable by
three different entrances, and has been
constructed with great care. There is
room in the steerage for 1000 or more
immigrants. The quarters of the officers
are on the main deck, near the bridge,
Immediately beneath which is the cap
tain's room. The ship is steered by
steam, and is supplied with all of the
latest steam appliances. Her pilot house
is forward but if this apparatus should
give out she can be steered from the
after whee-house. She is provided
with water-tight compartments. At the
forward end Of the ship is whale-back
deck, and aft is a turtle. back deer. A
number ofliie boats hang in davits along
the promenade deck. There are four
Sewell compasses on board, and patent

Getting Vaccinated.

A Detroit doctor who has vaccinatcd
over five hundred men women auI
children in the last two weeks has Lad
heaps of fun in watching the workings
of human nature under the lancet
Getting vacclnated" is somehow CON
nected in most minds with getting q
tooth pulled, and patients expect to
suffer as much pain. Not more than
two men out of ten walk square up e.
the rack. They hesitate, hang on, max,
inquiries, and in many instances remark
that they will wait Il day or two. One
refused TO be vaccinated until he was
tied TO chair Another offered the
doctor a dollar extra to give him chloro-
form. Scores of them want some object
to clutch to, and they shut their ey e.
grit their teeth, and call up sutlicienl
resolution to carry them through the
operation of having broken leg reset.
A well known citizen had made two
calls and backed out. The third time
he came herushed into the Office, peeled
OFF his coat and pushed no his sleeve,
and, throwing himself into chair, shut
his eyes, and called out:
Quick Quick Bring on that laugh
ing-gas; and then don't be second put
ting that lancet into my arm"
A negro was one day observed walk
ing up and down in front of the Office
for a long time, and the doctor finally
stepped to the door and asked HIM if he
wanted to be vaccinated.

''Oh, Lordy" AS Il rule, the women
all shed tears, and many of them come
prepared to faint away; children have to
be fiattered and cosxed, and 1t is some-
times necessary TO tell them that bears
and Indians are always on the look
out for children who haven't been
yaccinated. Tears and sobs and walls
are the rule, but the transit from "0h.

is as glorious as it is brief.

fragments OF the materials used. This
treatment brings out every detail Of the
design and heightens the colors.
Most of the rugs made here are of a

sshoddy silk. The weft for the silk rugs
has eight strips to the inch, and to cut il
requires 2sS knife blades, each one of
'Shich must have a razor edge. The
welt cloth and the blades must be set 10
a nicely, since the variation of the six.
