The selfregistering barometer attached to
the machine showed that he had gone 4, ,783
meters. The parachute was 80 feet in diam
eter.
A POLISHED FABRICATION,
"It should be explained also that there is
parachute attachment to the gearing appar-
atus. This gearing is so fastened to the car
that as soon as the explosive is exhausted it
is loosened and falls, the parachute prevent
ing it from doing anv injury by falling
upon people or dwellings,.
"Prof. Edselle says in his letter that the
Government officials were greatly pleased
with the test and have offered him Govern
ment aid to perfect his discovery. He says
that by making the tubes containing the ex-
plosives shorter the height to which the
rocket will ascend can be varied, the less
the amount of explosive substance used
making the ascent less. He will remain
and make further experiments at Callao,
but being anxious to obtain patent in his
native country, sent the drawing to his
brother. When he does return to the United
States he hopes to be able to interest this
Government by proving the practicability
of his invention and secure its adoption"
When Mr.. Florence had finished reading
the above he said with a grin, "Prof. Ed
selle was sell, indeed, but that sin was
such small one that am sure it will be
forgiven" ALExANDER DETAILLE.

ing and has been working on his invention,
and having many friends, succeeded in
interesting Government officials in his
scheme, and it was before them that the first
successful trial was made. This took place
in December. and was made from plain
near Callso. The day was beautiful one,
the sky being without cloud, and there
was no wind. The invention had been the
talk Of the city and the surrounding country
for weeks past, and on the day fully $4,000
people gathered to see the trial.
THE PERILoUs ASCENT.

sufficiently high TO raise the gearing clear
OF the ground. Government troops kept the
crowd back and preparations went on

quietly. When everything was ready the
professor took his position on the platform,
and by means OF straps fastened himself in
the car. Then by means of an electric
current the explosive matter in the tubes
was lighted at the same instant. The vapor
began to rush out, and slowly at first, then
withgreat rapidity the rocket shot up.

More Railroads.

The Oregon Railway Extension Co., a
Portland incorporation of which Henry
Failing is president, propose to build 81
600 miles of railroad in the near future.
The new system is said to be backed by
the Union Pacific. Among other extern
sions. the incorporation papers specify
the following:
"From Walla Walla, Wash. in north.
erly and easierly direction TO Lewiston.
Idaho; thence in a general easterly d,
rection to the Bitter Root mountains !;
thence 10y the most feasible route across
the Bitter Root mountains to Butte CITY
Montana. a distance of about 45O miles.
"From Lewiston, Idaho, in general
southeaslerly direction through the
Camas prairie to a point at or near the
mouth Of the Little Salmon river Idaho,
y distance Of about 100 miles.
From point on the Oregon Rail-
way Navigation Company's line, ut or
near LaGrande, Or, in a general easter
ly direction to point in the Walowa
valley ut or near the base lire, range 40
east, Willamette meridian, u distance OF
about 40 miles, WITH branch from a
point at or near The mouth OF the Grand

most practical route TO Lewiston, Idaho,

A Good Suggestion.

The Grangeville band gave an open
air entertainment on Saturday evening
from the porch Of the Jersey House.
1t is said they propose to continue them
on Saturday evenings. 1t is good idea
and will 10 doubt be appreciated. These
open air concerts will attach the people
more and more to Our Band" But
can't another step be taken at this stage
of Grangeville's growth? Can not some
suitable block OF ground be set aside for
public purposes only. A park to be, if
you please. In this erect band stand.
Let the people erect il, for the band is
at no small expense as it is for uniforms,
Instruments, mu-ic. etc. Here. rain or
shine, they would be able to dispense
the weekly music. This would become
the rendezvous of the town. Everybody
would come here TO be entertained and
have good social time. Band day would
become q red letter day in Grangeville.
A little park set with trees, having a
hand stand. seats arranged for the peo-
tile, with beds Of flowers, may seem
Utopian, but not preposterouS. What
think you about il?

Heed her not my buxom lsssie,

Every time I've come q counting
For month, she's followed me.
She won't have your silver lassie--
That's dodge that makes me smile;
For she thinks I'll buy her twaddle,
Aud at last she'll make her pile.
Every time I've had you cornered,
Up stump or on my knee,
Her black greedy eyes have twinkied,
While she booked the cost to me.
As for her lost dove eyed darling,
Whom she says wooed and spilled.

That's the Gypsy's only child
And the yarn that l betrayed her,
That's tough one. pom my sonl-
Since I'd hardly touch her night cap,
Even with a tenfoot pole.
And that grave beside the river.
Where the willows droop so sad
That's her cache OF corn aud cabbage;
Stolen from your worthy bad.

Trust to luck-the game Is old,
With the chances In your favor

Portland Oregonian.


Judge Frank Ganahl is in the city, be-
ing called here on legal business in the
United States court. Speaking with a
reporter yesterday. he said:
my headquarters are at Spokane
Falls, though my practice extends also
throughout Idaho. The mining country
up there is entering upon period of
treat development. All those mines in
Idaho county which have lain hidden
for twenty years or so. and all through
the Salmon country furnish magni-
ficent field for operations. The country
around Lewiston consists of placer
mines and rich gold hearing leads. What
that part of the country needs is good
wagon road connecting Lewiston with
the Salmon country around the u. p,
near Huntington. Portland shonld
push out in this matter at once. The
prospect is that the railroad will be
through TO Lewiston before the year is
out, which makes Lewiston thoroughly
accessible. The country thereabout, TO
my notion, furnishes the material for a
population of untold numbers, justifying
the incoming of immigration aud Capital
to great extent. am glad to see Port
land capital interesting itself SO
thoroughly in that section"
