1t Would be the Thing. .

There will be lots of life IN North
Salem in the vicinity of the Capitol
mills if the Salem mill company are
successful in negotiations for the
lease of the big mill. They will
then have "a place in which to store
oats. As it is now, the Salem oats
market il not the best in the world,
simply because there is so much
wheat to handle that the mills have
no room or time for oats. When
the big mill is in operation then a
change will be felt.

Counterfeit silver Dollar.

There are a few counterfeit silver
dollars in circulation in Portland
and the valley. Most Of them are
so poorly executed as to be easily de-
tected by anyone who ever has a
dollar or two; but one was picked
upat bank a day or two since,
which presents almost every appear
ance of genuine coin, the weight,
ring, "feeln and execution being
very good. There Is one infallible
method for detecting "A counterfeit
dollar, and this is by the milling on
the edge. No counterfeit has yet
been made which can stand com
parison in this respect. BY looking
along the edges of roll of dollars 1t
is easily seen IL there Is IA counterfeit
among them. The milling on the
genuine coin is done by powerful
die press, which makes the edges Of
the coin and the milling clear,
sharp and true in every particular.
No counterleiter can have esuch n
press, and the edges of the coin is
rounded and ragged-looking.

The conductor came along punching

pay any attention to him. At last
the conductor laid his hand on the
cowboys shoulder and said, "Iicket,

Yer and pointed it AT the conductor,
"H,r,'s my ticket"
The conductor walked on and
punched everybody else's coupon,
Then he disappeared, The little in-

Rev. Frederick Mayer, pastor of

Mich. is liberal-minded gentleman
but his congregation was shocked
to hear that he had been investing
in lottery tickets, and dumbfounded
when they learned he had bagged
$1,000 in IL recent drawing. He
says he bought the ticket just as he
would get married or take any other
hazardous step and he was over
whelmed when he discovered that
he had Won a big prize. He de-
clares that he can see nothing sinful
in acquiring money in this way,
and he has put the money in the
bank until he can find suitable in
vestment. On the other hand, the

is likely to be an early vacancy in

The most gigantic irrigation
scheme in the United States is that
which the Bear Lake & River canal
company of Ogden, Utah, is carry
ing out. The canal is to cost 1000
600, and will be $50 miles long, ten
feet deep and forty feet wide. Its
source will be the Bear Lake of
Idaho territory, which is thirty
miles long and seven miles wide.
The water in the lake is as clear as
crystal. The canal will 90 through
Montana two miles of the route,
through which territory il will pass
through the Bear canyon and cost
$3.50, 900. The capacity of the canal
will be 1880 gallons a second.
In its course it will irrigate half a
million acres of tillable land. Be-
sides the irrigation the canal will
supply the water works for Ogden
and all the smaller towns in its
course from Bear lake. Work is to
begin on the immense project in
about ten days and must be COM
pleted and ready for use on April l..
The contractor is now busy getting
material and men together for the
work. Bear lake is fed largely by the
SHOWS and springs of the noun
tains which surround it. Thus far
all efforts to sound it have failed.
The company which is to build the
canal will, however, build up the
present outlets of the lake to ten
feet above their normal height. 1t
is proposed to so arrange the flow
that it will go into this canal. The
supply of water is ineXhaustible.
