Portland influence has been and Is to-
day at work upon the Legislature Of this
Territory, seeking to induce the passage
of a bill providing pilot regulations for
Puget Sound, with the view OF accom-
plishing the most within their power to
set up an embargo against ships entering
here. 1t IS necessarily eIpensiv. for ships
to enter the Columbis river; Portland
wishes TO make costly navigation OF Puget
Sound as an Offset. The men who vote
for the attempted outrage will be held ac-
countable by the people of the Territory
Let the navigation of the SouLd be az free
as itswaters are deep and safe He who
would knowingly aid in putting the yoke
upon cs is q traitor to the Territory, and
should be so proclaimed. .-Taooma Ledger.

Spontaneous Forests.


A writer in West Virginia paper
combats the opinion, held by many ar
borculturists, that open country is
never converted into forest through
the operation Of natural causes, and as
establishing the fact that such change
does sometimes occur, brings forward
the case of the Shenandoah valley.
When first settled, about 160 years
ago, 1t was an open prairie-like region
covered with tall grass, on which fed
herds Of deer, buffalo, elk, ETC., and
having no timber except on ridgy por-
tions of it; but in consequence of its
settlement, the annual fires were pre-
vented, and trees sprang up almost as
thickly and regularly as if seed had
been planted. These forests, having
been preserved by the farmers, cover
now a large part of the surface with
hard wood trees of superior excellence
These facts would also seem to sub
stantiate the theory that the treeles'
character of the prairies of the West is
due to the annual burnin & of the grass
by the Indians.
The Owosso times., 1881-10-28
Summer in Norway.

In the Norway summer one comes
actually to yearn for a little Christian
darkness to go to bed by. Much as he
may crave stronger sun by day to
keep him warm, he would like to have
a reasonable nighttime for sleeping.
AT first there is a stimulus, and weird
sort of triumphant sense of outwitting
nature, in finding ones self ableto read
or write by the suns light till nearly
midnight of the clock. But presently
it becomes clear that the outwitting is
on the other side. What avails it that
there is light enough for one to write
by at ten o'clock at night if he is tired
out, does not want to write, and longs
Tor nothing but to go to sleep? If it
were dark, and he longed to write,
nothing would be easier than to light
candles and write all night, if he chose
and could pay for his candles. But
neither money nor ingenuity can CON-
pass for him normal darkness to
sleep in. The Norwegian house is one
half window. In their long winters
they need all the sun they can get; not
an outside blind, not an inside shutter,
not dark shade to be seen. Stream
ing, flooding, radiating in and around
about the rooms comes the light, well
come or unwelcome, early and late.
And to the words "early'' and "late"
there are in Norway summer new
meanings. The early light of the sum-
mer mornings sets in about half past
two; the late light of tie summer even
ing fades into a luminous twilight
about eleven. Enjoyment Of this spe-
cies of perpetual day someone's to an
end. After the traveller has written
home to everybody once by broad day
light at ten o'clock, the fun of the
thing is over; normal sleepiness begins
10 hunger for its rights, and dissatis-
faction takes the place of wondering
amusement. This dissatisfaction
reaches its climax in few days. Then,
if he is wise, the traveller provides him
self with several pieces of dark green
cambria, which he pins up at-his win
dows at bed. time, thereby making it
possible to get seven or eight hours
rest for his tired eyes. But the green
cambria will not shut out sounds; and
he is lucky if he is not kept awake un-
til one or two o'clock every night by
the unceasing tread and loud chatter of
the cheerful Norwegians who have
been forced to form the habit of sitting
up half their night time to get in the
course of year their full quota of
daytime.-AHanti

times, one leg four times, and the
other seven times. What with these
incidents and several minor affairs

he could attend to.

Well, she had flirted awhile, but AZ

upon the subject of matrimony, her
fond, true heart turned to Horatio. 1t
found him not, and She pined in secret.
So she said; but she had gained forty
five pounds in weight, nevertheless.
But it was all over now. They were
to be united after their long estrange
ment. e

becca Jane. 'Promise me you will
never again mount bicycle.
Of course Horatio promised. Men
always promise anything before mar
riage. $500
And so they were married.
Horatio, strange to relate, remem-
bered his promise, and Rebecca James
papa so exerted his influence that
HOratio was chosen captain of base
ball nine, and though his face is as
battered as a gunboat after a hard
fought action, he is rich-affluently
rich. In some seasons he has been
known to sell out six games, the pro-
ceeds of these transactions serving to
largely swell the proportions of his
princely salary. ...ar.ass-.s
Horatio little knew when he fell
over his bicycle that he was to fall
into so soft thing.
Rebecca Jane Jones, thanks TO that
arnica bottle. won't die an old maid.
