but at the there quarter pole Marvin gave
Bunol her head. She came smooth, close
down to the ground like greyhound,
and with such frict,onless gaii that few
supposed that it would be a very fla t

We have a second means OF guessing
within o certain number OF centuries the
age OF the elapsed period in that recent
increase in the extent OF the Semltki
Valley at the head OF Lake Albert, and
the exposure of the terrace at tho south
west end, which , .ss gradually from the
edge OF the LAKE to the base OF the
plateau wall that suddenly rises 1850
feet behind it. From the south end of
the lake to the end OF tho dense tropical
forest there are about 80 miles in a
straight line; the rise Of the land is at the
rate OF two feet in q mile. For 20 miles
of the distance the bed Of the lake is
covered with poor, innutritious
grass; for the remaining 10 miles IL is
covered with sorubby aeacias which
gradually become thin forest, mixed
with euphorbia and tamarinds, which are
hardy trees. TIE forest gradually be-
comes thicker and more outrageous,
and here and there is borassus palm.
To expose that 80 miles of lake bed I
estimate that it required between 260 and
800 years, and that length OF time to en-
able the tropio rains to scour the salts
and acrid properties from the earth in q
sufficient quantity to enable those palms
aud tamarinds to grow. On proceeding
southwark from the southern edge OF the
lake we FIRST see soft alluvisl mud

Written Decision Today.

Local Inspectors of Huils and Boilers w.

decision in the matter q the Stafs of Wash.
ington-C Cascade collision. yesterday after
noon. revoking the license q Engineer
exonerating Captain Henry Bailey, her
master, from all blame. The decision has
not yet been executed in writing. but the
reason given for the decision is that Engi-
neer Smith was negligent in the perform
ance of his duty. The decision viii be
written up today.
This case has attracted attention among
steamboat men all over Puget Sound. The
collision, if such it may be termed. occurred
on the evening Of Thursday, March 20.
The steamer Cascade Was lying 1t
Yesler wharf. and the State
of Washington was making q landing at
Hatfeld's wharf. She came into the slip
under good Roadway. bat the tide swung
her over toward Ycsler wharf Captain
Bailey, her master. claims that he rang
two bells. to so backward, and Engineer
Smith claims that he heard but one in the
engine room. The steamer WAS sent ahead
a. full speed. and the steamer Cascade was
run into and practically wrecked. The two
chief officers met. a forcibie discussion fol-
lowed, and the matter ended by Captain
Bailey discharging the engineer. The lat
ter demanded an investigation, and one
was accorded him with the above result.
What action Engineer Smith will take
with regard to an appeal could not be
learned last night. and he could not be
found. II is more than likely that he will
take an appeal to the supervising Inspector.
