As fo,H as the Anti Debris Convention
assembled, It's members began to recognize
the difficulty Of doing anything. They
coull adopt platform, aud they could ef-
feet an organization, but when it came to
practical work of any kind they found
themselves surrounded by Instructions.
The Convention numbered great many
candidates for Office, and all OF them had
already pledged themselves TO support Ger.
tain tickets and platforms. Obviously
none Of these candidates could favor or
support special Anti Debris ticket Nor
was it easy to sse what good could be done
by indoCsing any of the State candidates
already before the people. To do so would
certainly bring against these candidates
the organized opposition of all the debris
men, and, moreover, it could not be as.
sumed as certain that party lines would be
disregsrdel by the rank and file of the
Anti Debris people; so that while the in
dorsed candidates would be assailed with
out doubt, it was not so evident that they
would receive compensating support from
the valleys, To Put new men in nomina.
ton Wa still more hopeless, for it was per.
fectly certain that they could not be
elected, AID it was more than doubtful
whether they could obtain even compli-
mentary vote. 1t is someghas strange
that noae Of thess difficulties were coasid-
cred before the Convention was called, hut
it was 20 rery little purpose that the time OF
the Convention was spent IN accusing toe
politicians Of coaardioe, seeing that very

sisted OF precisely that class OF dele.
gates. We presume thai he Convention
was originally intended as an expression
OF Dissatisfaction with the Republican and
Democratic parties. If it was planned
before those parties nominated, it was a
fatal blunder to hold it so late This was
remarked On the floor. Had it been held
before the other Conventions, it might
have forced both of them TO take definite
position on the issue. As il is, the meet
ing only served to slow how much had
been lost by this proorastinahon. Tn.
Convention finally resolved to send dele

NATURAL WONDERS or ORE
CON.


Yakima Record
From Adam Duncan, who spends
the greater part of his time over on
the Columbia, neal Priest rapids, we
learn some interesting facts in regard
to natural wonders in that unsettled
region. One Of these wonders is des-
cribed as a sort oflake or basin some
four miles long, and quite near the
rapids. When the Columbia is at its
highest this lake disappears in the
ground, leaving nothing in its stead
save a great number OF large wells,
some of them being nearly twenty feet
in width. The number OF these wells
is estimated to be about 100. Passing
among them they are found to contain
waters Of different qualities and c%olors,
some OF them being clear, cool aud
agreeable to the taste and filled with
beautiful speckled trout, while others
n bitter and black like those Stygian
pools renowned in ancient fable, over
which the soles of the damned were
supposed to pass on their Journey to
the regions Of torment.
AS the Columbia river begins to run
low in its channel these wells gradu-
ally rise until they overflow and form
a lake. Of the scientist who is sup
posed to have a theory for all things,
let us inquire why is all this9" By
what sort Of Subterranean, syphonic,
double back-action arrangement are
these things brought about? Why
should the water in these wells arise
as the water in the channel Of the
river recedes, and why should wells 50
close to each other contain waters of
such a different character2 Another
natural wonder presents itselffor solu.
ton up in the neighborhood Of Moses
Oeolie. In the hottest part of the
summer there is place up there where
huge icicles form and hang like in
midwinter from the tall rocks. BY
digging in among the stones or broken
shale large bodies of ice are found
which seem to form there in midsum-
mer. The water flowing from among
these broken stones is about as cold
as ice itself, but where it comes from
and why these ~icicles form in mid
summer, while none are to be seen
there in the winter time, arc more
conundrums. The rocky bluff slopes
gradually down from the north in such
a way as to receive the suns rays in
their fullest force, and JUS back Of the
bluff is a level country covered with
bunch grass.

already broken the back Of that truly
ponderous debt, which now enjoys the
highest credit, ought not to bend be-
meath the weight Of On undertaking for
railways such as hal to which we
have referred-f80 DOC, 900 to be ex-
pended in fifteen months. Millions
spent in war are absolutely lost.
They buy nothing. 1t may be said,
indeed, that they buy less than
nothing. They purchase destruction.
There is not only the enormous
expense alluded to, but there is
also the loss of hundreds Of thou
sands Of able bodied men, and the
waste Of material. But when 10000
miles Of additional railway are con-
structed they Immediately do useful
work and earn a profit. 1t is true that
some English bears are trying to
persuade us that railways in America
are going out, and are about to be
superseded by water carriage lat the
very moment when so many new rail-
ways are to be- formed. But
these men are only Tex
ceptionals," and their voices are
not heard or regarded beyond the
walls of a Stock. Exchange. 1t does
not represent fact. America without
her railways would be a barren land.
| Canals can never be there more than
partially useful. The frosts are SO Sc
we're that for q large part Of the year a
canal is a solid instead ola liquid, and
even during the hotmonths that mode
Of conveyance is open to the objection
that it is not only slow but vapory.
Just when the means OF conveyance is
wanted frost sets in and destroys the
utility Of the canal, while the railway
is open all the year round.

A few weeks ago we extracted from

It was stated that about 10000 miles
Of railway were under construction, OF
would be constructed within fifteen
months, in the United States. The
figures are startling, but when
IL is considered what railways
are in that country, the alarm
will cease. A railroad there is made
instead off common road, and is very
little better than, in some cases not so
good as a tramway. The outside esti-
mate Of cost for the $1,000 miles oil
new railroad is only $4,000 per mile.
