NEW RIVER, AND FLOWERS BLOOMING
WITHIN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.

Lieutenant Storey, who went ND on
the last trip of the revenue steamer
Thomas Corwin for the purpose of dis
tributing among the Tehackchee Indians
OF Alaska the $4,000 worth of presents
given by the government in recognition
of the fact that they afforded shelter and
food to the officers and crew of the
steamer Rogers, burned in 1881. reports
the discovery of an immense river
hitherto unknown to geographers. The
river had been vaguely spoken of by
Indians to former explorers. and Lieu
tenant Storey, being compelled to await
the return trip of the Corwin, deter
mined to see if it existed. Accompanied
by one attendant and an interpreter he
proceeded inland from Hotham inlet ina
southeasterly direction until he struck
what he believed to be the mysterious
river. He traced it to its mouth. dis
tance of about fifteen miles. where he
saw such huge pieces Of floating timber
as to satisfy him that the stream must
be Of immense size. He retraced his
steps for distance Of fifty miles. where
he encountered natives, from whom Ae
learned that to reach the head waters
Of the unknown stream would take sew
aral months.
The Indians told him that they had
come down the river a distance of 1900
niles to meet fur trader. and that it
vent up higher than that. Having no
ime to go further, Lieutenant Storey
In his opinion, as stated by
hose on the Corwin, from whom this
Information was obtained, that the dis
overy of this river accounts for the
arge quantities of floating timber in the
Arctic ocean, which has popularly been
opposed to come down the Yukon river.
he Indians stated that the river in
Ome places is twenty miles vide. It
es within the Arctic circle, but in Au-
ust, when Lieutenant Storey was there,

ithertO discovered in so high latitude.

How Did Maine Get lis Name.

In paper read before the American
Antiquarian Society Hamilton r. Staples
said that the name of Maine was given
to that State descriptively, since in the
original charter it was considered ''the
Mayne Land of New England" Mr..
William H. Smith writes to the Portland
Press quoting this assertion and saying
81 have heard that our State has been
named for Frankfort the Main; for
the Province of Meyne in France. VIII
hanson says, Vol. l., section l, of his
history, that the Maine was called Mavo-
shen or Mavooshen by ancient voyagers
and writer's. In Purchas's Pilgrims Mr..
Haklynt describes it to be "a country
lying to the north and east of Virginia
between the degrees of 43 and 45. It is
40 leagues broad and 80 in length. living
in breadth east and west, and in length
north and south. It is bordered on the
east side with a country. the people
whereof they call Tarrentines: on the
west with Ephistoma; or the north with
a great wood called Senagloconna; and
on the south with the main ocean, sea,
and many islands. In Mavooshen it
seemeth there are nine rivers-the west
ernmost of which is Shawacotoc (Saco).
At the head of this river-to the north
west there is a small province which they
,all Crokemago, wherein is one town
the Indian Peywaket. ;"

ANNEXED BY THE TSAR.

He was a huge dog, and he stood by
the kennel in old DIR. Gorham's back
yard in an attitude of deep meditation.
There was one subject for dog thought
lying right before him and another lay
only yard or so beyond the first.
The one was an empty ''muzzIe" that
lay upon the grass close by a couple of
well-picked bones. The second was an
equally empty steel collar, with strong
chain attached. The end of the chain
was hooked into a staple at the side of
the kennel door.
Tsar was a dog to look twice at. His
father had been a Siberian bloodhound
and his mother an English mastiff. and
DIR. Gorham would have trusted him to
pull down a wild bull or to ring church
bell, if he could once have seized with
his massive jaws the nose of the one or
the ringing rope of the other.
Tsar made no audible remarks. but
there was no difficulty at all in divining
his meditations.
''Ihey have fed me an hour before
sundown for some reason, and now they
have gone off and neglected me. No
muzzle, no chain, no master around. and
all the country left open to me. It is a
state Of affairs to which 1 am not accus-
toned at this time Of day. If there were
another bone with meat on it, I'd know
exactly what to do"
He put out great paw and turned
the muzzle over. Then he walked for
ward and smelled of the helpless collar
Then he peered solemnly into the kennel.
There was mystery about the whole
matter, and it seemed to suggest a visit /
to the front gate. That too was wide !

ng to be learned from flock of geese t
hree hens, and one stray calf. The il
cry pig that was roofing under the wal d
nut tree paid him no manner of atten- Y
ion.
Isar shrugged his broad shoulders to s.
1ake sure about the collar, paved his L
ose for moment in memory of his tc

PAGING A JtgH.

A Puget Sound lawyer. of long prac-
tice, told this story on himself during
,he last term of tho Seattle court:
1Once. before | was admitted to prac-
tice. nm otherwise real good fellow was
arr sted OH a charge OF smuggling, and
/ With his other friends, undertook TO
helm him out. The evidence it seemed
wonid be strong against him, so We
thought to pack the jury. An old sub
iect Of the good Queen WAS found who
agreed to hang the jury. In those
days no food was allowed jury until
an agreement or discharge was had.
So we filled the lining of the old mans
coat with biscuits, hard tack, etc, and
told him 10 hang out forever. The trial
came on. The evidence was astonish-
iagly weak, as were the prosecut or's ar
guments TO the jury. After the jury was
out about twenty-four hours it was said
that tho old Englishman was hanging.
We chnckled. Finally some of the
jnrymen found the buscuits, took them
from the old man and were going to
throw him out of the window, so they
told him. After many weary hours the
jury reported disagreement and wero
discharged. We thought the old man
was trump. Approaching one of the
Jurors, We innoeensly said: How did II
stanaT Eleven to ono for acquittaP."

THE FIRST ArrLE TREES.

The Oregon City Eaterprise gives
space to the following interesting remi-
niscence
The first apple tree on the Pacific
coast was raised from the seed. This
seed was obtained from six apples which
were sent ont ON Hudson Bay Compa-
ny's ship from England 10 Vancouver.
Mr.. +. Q. Pambrum, father to Mrs. DIR.
Barclay, of our city, WAS the gentleman
who had the honor of being the first to
plant tame apple tree that bore fruit.
This was done IN { year 1896 at the
time that DIR. Mclaughlin was chief
factor of tho Hudson Bay Company at
Vancouver, and with whom MIR. Pam
BRAN was associated. When DIR. Me-
Laughlin came to Oregon City MIR. JAS.
Douglass succeeded him. Afterward
MIR. Painbrum removed to Walla Walla.
when the tree bore fruit, DIR. Mo
Lauphlin thoughtfully sent its first
fiuits TO the parent of the tree, Mr..
Pambrum, in Wslla Wal!a. We wonder
If any Of the trees are yet standing at
Vancouver
To which question the Independent re-
plies by saying II is informed by gen
tieman who has lived in Vancouver for
thirty years, tha: two of the original
apple trees are still standing on the
Government reserve.
