The Pal0use Country.

We take the following reliable alb
stract from the Spokane Daily Chronicle
The traveller who alights at the
Spokane Falls depot bent on a tour of
observation through Washington terri
tory has not spent many hours in the
city before he hears something about
the Palouse valley. He will be told Of
its wonderful crops, of its fertile soil, its
beautiful climate and its other manifold
attractions, and he will be persuaded
perhaps to lay over day and make a
trip through this Ell Dorado of the far
mer and husbandman. The Palouse
valley reaches from a point little south
of the Spokane river to the Snake, a
distance of 100 miles with a width of
from fifty to seventy-fve miles west
from the Cnur d'Alene and Bitterroot
mountains. The country is not, strictly
speaking, valley, but rather success
sion of valleys, land OF hills and dales,
of wandering, crooked creeks, of torpid
tortuous little rivers, that run here
and there amid the highlands as though
playing at hide-and-seok behind the
buttes and hills. The vast fiat prairie
of Dakota or Minnesota, with dead level
sameness is replaced here by a truly
rolling prairie that changes like a
kaleidoscope as the traveller passes
through it, always changing yet ever
the same. Now he ascends a hill and
the view stretches for miles in every
| direction, and then he descends into a
deep, narrow valley or fiat where the
view is circumscribed and does not ex-
tend more than a few hundred yards.
To visitor from the Atlantic coast or
the Mississippi Valley this up-and-do down
hill country would mean acres of waste
land Not so here, however. Every
acre is susceptible of cultivation and
of yielding crops that would be consid-
cred phenomenal on the other side of the
Rockies. Few travellers believe the
stories they hear of the Palouse country
until they have visited it and investi-
gated the truth themselves. Why, the
absurditY of from forty to sixty bushels
of wheat weighing from sixty-fve to
sixty-nine pounds per bushel being
raised on an acre of ground! The idea,
says the visitor, is ridiculous. Dakota
in 1864 good year-only produced
fifteen bushels per acre and California
hardly tipped the scales at twelve.
Illinois figures at about the same aver
age as California, and Indiana does not
do much better How then is it possible
that the Palouse valley will average
thirty to forty bushels? But seeing is
believing, and any one interested in OBJ
tanning the facts need only make a trip
through the country and talk with any
of the farmers that he will meet in his
journey and he will hear the same state
ments backed up with names, and places
and medicines that must carry convic
ton to any thinking mind, both because
of the testimony and the character Of the
witnesses, for farmers are proverbially
more given to complaining about bac
crops than representing their yields az
phenomenally large.

An Ancient Vegetable.
lLondon Globe.l


With an antiquity rivalling probably ex-
ceeding. that Of the Pyramids Of Egypt,
and reputation scarcely inferior, 1t IS re-
markable how little notice has been taken
of the death of the colossal Dragon Tree
of Orotava. This gigantic, hOary-headed,
vegetable veteran died almost suddenly a
few years ago, and may be said, ike the
Deacon's wonderful old masterpiece, To
have gone "to pieces all at once-all at
once, and nothing iirst-just Is bubbles DO
when they burst" After a babyhood OF
centuries. decades Of maturity, and de-
cadence of ages, il does seem pltiaole that
the departure of this wonder OF the world
should have evoked little or no comment.
In accordance with the new theory that
plants feel and have a hereafter 1t may be
that the old Dragon Tree IS receiving its
need of praise and reward for long and
respected life.
Though called tree, in truth the re-
nowned curiosity of OTOtava was nothing
ofthe sort. II was kind ofgigantic, bloated
asparagus, and near blood relation TO the
fragile, delicate lilies Of our gardens. But
even Solomon at his least glorious epoch
would never have been jealous OF this phe-
nomenon, for the Dragon Tree Is az every
period of its strange growth q monstrous,
uncouth thing--a creepy. eyll-suggestlng,
ungainly pterodactyls and gigantic sau-
rians. with some of which the ancient
specimen of Orotava may have been peg
sonally acquainted in its younger days.
With its blood-red sap extending
freely through with curdiing slowness, at
every wound, its strange crown OF stun,
strong, sword-like leaves at the end OF
every octopus-like arm. and its scale-clad
trunk, it is not difficult 10 trace the origin
Of its name. The tree which bears the
golden apples il indigenous 10 the canaries,
and little fancy was required with an
imaginative people to turn this monstrous
vegetable growth into the guardian dragon.
Did not il bleed thick red blood, did i not
bristle with swords, and was not its abode
on those Isles of the BEST far beyond the
gates of Hades, in the veritable Garden OF
the Hesperides? The ancients always
spoke OF one dragon guarding the
golden fruit because the monster OF
0rotava was even then removed from all
its comrades in size, bulk, and ghastliness-
The old Guanches yenerated the monster,
though they were brought up under It's
shadow and must have been well accus-
toned to its peculiarities. They regarded
IL As possessed Of animal life and deihed i,
