ent kinds of beautiful and fra
grant wild flowers. The en-
joyment OF this scene is great
ly augmented by the varied
and musical notes of the tire
less prairie lark, which rises
from some unseen. place in the
thick grass, and floating away
on the breeze for hundreds of
yards. greet the ear of the pas
ser-by with a mirthful melody
that is almost indescribable.
All the bushes along the rip
pling brooks have on their
new robes, and the small OPEN
ings along their banks are
covered with long swamp
grass. The shrill cries of the
jay and the barking Of pine
squirrels and chipmunks are
heard on all sides. The beau
tiful magpie, the grouse and
many other beautiful birds
help to adorn the tall green fir
trees. Occasionally a fright
ened deer may be seen in the
distance bounding away to-
wards q neighboring thicket.
The sound of the woodlands
axe may be heard in every d.
rection.
What is more enchanting to
the newcomer than these SUR
roundings is the cool and
healthful air that is constant
ly coming from the surround
ing snow-capped mountains.
There are few days in mid
summer that are oppressive
with heat, but the nights will
be cool enough to require two
or three blankets for comfort
Autumn is generally cool and
pleasant. Winter sets in about
Christmas in earnest. The
snow-llakes come and cover
the ground from one to three
feet deep, which sometimes
remains four or eight weeks,
and is taken away by the
Chinook wind, which comes
up from the Pacific Ocean.
The snow sometimes gets six
feet deep on a level, in the
timber of Craig's mountain,
and does not leave the highest
points before the 4th Of July.
This makes the summer eli
mate about like that of Blow
ing Rock, except that the sky
is always clear and the nights
cool
The people are just plain
country people, wearing a
plain garb, are well posted on
politics and history, and are
kind to those who deserve
kindness. A more generous
and hospitable people never
breathcd the breath of life
than the inhabitants Of Camas
prairie.
The production Of the coun-
try is generally good, the av-
erage crop of wheat being
about twenty-five or thirty
bushels per acre, aud that of
oats, about fifty bushels per
acre. Some say they have
had crops that made sixty
bushels of wheat and ninety
bushels of oats and barley per
acre, and they also say they
have made cabbages that
weighed forty to fifty pounds
each.

June "a. 1889.

sents an aspect that would
charm any person who has any
love for beautiful and roman
tic scenery. In other words,
it is apparently, as near para
disc as the earth affords.
There are various things that
tend to make Calnas prairie
attractive to the homeseeker
or the tourist, viz, the situa-
ton, the vernal vegetation, a
healthful and pleasant climate
and a hospitable people.
Camas prairie is situated
about fifty miles cast of Lew
iston. It is bounded on tie
west by Craig's mountain, on
the east by a vast ledge of
mountains and gorges, on the
north by the Clearwater river,
and on the south by the Sal
mon river. Craig's mountain
is a low rolling range that
forms the divide between the
Lewiston fiat and Camas prai-
RE. 1t is we'll timbered and
moderately well watered. On
the north side of the hills or
buttes, the timber consists
chiefly of red and white fir,
which grows in dense thick
cts, and in which it is impossi-
BILE to see or be seen more
than a few PAGES. From these
fir thickets the farmers get
the finest of fencing timber.
On the south side of the hills,
a wagon can easily travel
through the woods without
cutting a road. The timber
consists chiefly of large yellow
pines, which do not stand very
thick. Under these the
ground is covered with long
green grass, upon which feed
numerous herds Of deer. These
pines furnish the farmers with
firewood and lumber for build
ing purposes. On the east
side of the prairie the noun
tains are higher and very rug
ged, and abound with large
game, such as the elk, grizzly
bear, mule deer, &c. Noun
tains capped with almost per-
petual snow may be seen in
the north, east and south. On
the north is the Clearwater
river, which is about as large
as the Catawba between Alex
ander and Catawba counties.
The Salmon on the south is
remarkable for its swift cur
rent, deep canyon and amount
of fish it affords. The Salmon
rises partly in the Sawtooth
and partly in the Bitter Root
mountains. It's ice cold wa
tiers sweep down with such ra-
pidity that it cannot be crossed
except in occasional places,
where its rapidity is checked
by huge rocks on the bottom.
This swift stream is nearly
three thousand feet below the
surrounding prairies. The
walls, in many places, are al
most perpendicular, and Of sol
id rock. These walls along
Camas prairie are broken by
deep canyons, carrying the
smaller streams to the river.
The Indians catch immense
quantities of salmon trout in
the river that weigh from six
to twenty-five pounds each,
and sell them to the white set
tiers.
Camas prairie is twenty
miles from east to west and
thirty from north to south.
1t is not level, as many sup
pose, but the land rolls in ev-
cry direction like the land in
the celebrated bluegrass re-
gion of Kentucky. The land
nearest the mountains is call
ed the foot hills. Here the
hills are higher and sleeper,
and there is a good deal of
rocky land, and plenty of good
water.
In spring as soon as the
snow disappears, the ground
IS green with the fresh growth
Of luxuriant bunch-grass. The
snow is generally gone from

High ObscrYation Towers.

The English spectators who have pro.
posed building an observation tower in
London double the height of the EilIcl
tower in Paris, and similar 10 it in plan,
referred the matter to NJ. SALES, the as
sistant of VI. EiiTel, for an opinion as to
the practicability Of the scheme. VI.
SALES is popularity supposed to have been
the active engineer of the EifTel structure.
He has condemned the English idea
very probably being biased by his conncc-
tion with the Paris tower, which would
lose its prestige if higher rival should
be erected. His argument, as reported,
is this: That we are ignorant of the
force of the wind at varying high eleva-
tions, and that there would be difficulty
in transporting material above 1000 feet.
"As 10 the first point, says the ERgi-
neeriHg and Mining journal, "thc argu-
ment is weak. II is mainly question of
leverage, not of absolute wind power.
As to the second point, that of transport
of material, reference to what is being
done every day in deep mining would
show that there would be no difficulty.
The whole thing is simply u matter of
business. If the passenger tolls would
pay interest, running expenses, and prof
its on the enormous original outlay, the
tower can be built. Engineering nova
days is ready to face almost any difficult
ties when profit can be shown"

likes of the Buddhists, the Five Kings OF
the Chinese, the Three vedas of the
Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the Scrip
lures Of the Christians.
The Koran is the most recent Of the
five, dating from about the seventh cen.
tury after Christ. II is compound OF
quotations from both the Old and New
Testaments, and from the Talmud. The
Tri Pitikes contain sublime morals and
pure aspirations. Their author lived
and died in the sixth century before
Christ.
The sacred writings of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, the word
"kings" meaning web of cloth From
this it is presumed that they were origin.
ally written on five rolls of cloth. They
contain wise savings from the sages on
the duties of life, but they cannot he
traced further back than the eleventh
century before our era. The Vedas are
the most ancient books in the language
of the Hindoos, but they do not, accord
ing to late commentators, antedate the
twelfth before the Christian era.
The Zendavesta of the Persians, next
to our Bible. is reckoned among schol.
ars as being the greatest and most
learned of the sacred writings. Zoroas-
ter, whose sayings it contains, lived and
worked in the twelfth century before
Christ Moses lived and wrote tine PEN

Down Where the Fires Rage.

Professor Jones answers lin an English
newspaper the question raised as to
whether the tapping and drilling of the
earth for oil that is going on in America
is dangerous sornot-that is to say, likely
to let out the internal fires of the earth
to play havoc with the surface far and
near. He compares the earth to bal
loon floatcd and kept distended by the
gas in the interior, which, If exhausted,
will cause the crust to collapse, affect
the motion of the earth in its orbit,
cause it to lose its place among the
heavenly bodies and fall in pieces. An
other writer thinks that drilling should
be prohibited by stringent laws. The
scientist says an immense cavity exists,
and that here the gas is stored; that II
mile below the bottom of the cavity is a
mass of roaring, scething flame which is
gradually eating into the rock floor of
the cavern and thinning it. Eventually
the flames will reach the gas and terrific
explosion will ensuc. The simie of the
, earth being like balloon is not very
solid. Why not weigh the earth and
settle the question of solidityl The
scientist can weigh the sun and moon
the figures are long, but the result
is worth the troublo.-SaR Francisco

flushed is the world of toll Tn every piacs
A wealth Of healing silentness doth lie.
Or sounds more still than silence fill the space
Beneath that far infnity OF sky;
And softly shines the evening star on one
Whose day lies spent, a chronicle Of things

Bears little Of its wonted anguish deep:

Preludes sad, sweet sinking into sleep.
