Raise PruneS.

What splendid advantages abound
in Shelton and the near vicinity, and
much Of these uplands could at once
be planted in prune trees, which III
three Or four years would furnish fruit
in abundance. The Centralia News
has the following to say on the subject:
If the veil hiding the future from
us could be lifted for moment, what
a scene Of industry would appear be-
fore our eyes. Nurserymen all agree,
both those who have visited for them
selves, and those who have been cor
responded with, that the hills in the
vicinity of Centralia are, without ex-
ception, the most favorable spots in
the world for raising all kinds of fruits,
but more especially prunes. Good,
stout, yearling trees planted on these
hills will yield fruit in three years,
and pay well in four Tracts are be-
ing cleared all around us for orchard
purposes, and there is no doubt at all
but that prunes can be raised in COM
petition with the Italian article, leav
ing large margin of profit for the
grower. At the farmers fair in Port
land last year nothing was exhibited
that would compare with Washing
toms prunes Mr.. Toles is clearing
five acres, which will set out in prune
trees, and Mr.. Butterworth will also
set out two acres. Mr.. Charles Kel-
sey now has an orchard of nearly 400
trees, principally prunes. Mr.. Orst
has 100 prune trees, Mr.. Lewis 200,
and several others, including Mr.. Han
son, who, by the way, was the first
settler in this section to plant fruit
trees in this vicinity. Prunes will
play no mean unimportant part in the
development of Lewis county. We
have no bugs nor blight to contend
with, as they do in some places, and,
curiously enough, the overbearing of
the trees is all the growers dread Any
where else but in Washington the
strong winds which occasionally sweep
the orchards, thin out the blossoms or
young fruit until no more remain on
the branches than can comfortably be
supported by the trees. Here the
growers are compelled to shake and
reshake the trees. or pick off half the
young fruit, or the trees. would be
borne to the ground. Mr.. Butter
worth last summer picked a short twig
from a plum tree, less than foot
long, which he had been supporting
with poles, just to satisfy his curiosity
that had on il fourteen plums, each
as large as a hens egg.

An Egg With Windows.

A French Scientist who removed
the shell on either side OF an egg,
without injuring the membrane, in
patches about the diameter of a pea,
and snugly fitted the openings with
bits OF glass, gives the following re-
port of the wonderful experiment:
placed the egg with glass bulls eye
in an incubator, run by clockwork
and revolving once each hour, so l
had the pleasure of looking through
and watching the change upon the
inside at the end of each sixty min
utes. No changes were noticeable I'M
til after the end of the twelfth hour,
when some of the lineaments of the
head and body of the chick made
their appearance. The heart appear
ed to beat at the end of the twenty
fourth hour, and in forty-eight hours
two vessels of blood were distinguish
ed, the pulsations being quite visible.
At the end of the fiftieth hour an au-
ricle OF the heart appeared, much re-
sembling lace or moose folded down
upon itself. At the end of seventy
hours We distinguished wings and two
bubbles for the brain, one for a bill
and two others for the fore part and
hind part of the head. The liver ap-
peared at the end of the fifth day. At
the end of l31 hours the first volun-
tary motion was observed. At the
end of 1873 hours the lungs and stom-
ach had become visible, and four hours
later the intestines, the loins and the
upper mandible could be distinguished
The Shiny matter of the brain began
to take form and become more COM
pact at the beginning of the seventh
day. At the 190th hour the bill first
opened and flesh began to appear on
the breast. At the 204th the sternum
appeared. At the 210th hour the ribs
had begun to put out from the back !;
the bill was quite visible rs was also
the gall bladder. At the beginning of
the 236th hour the bill had become
green, and it was evident that the
chick could have moved had it been
taken from the shell. Four hours la
ter and feathers had commenced to
shoot out and the skull to become
gristly. At the 264th hour the eyes
appeared and two hours later the ribs
were perfect. At the 331st hour the
spleen drew up to the stomach and
the lungs to the chest When the in
cubator had turned the egg 335 times
the bill was frequently opening and
closing, as if the chick were gasping
for breath. When 451 hours had clap
sed we heard the first cry of the little
imprisoned biped. From that time
forward he grew rapidly, and came out
full-fedged chick at the proper time.

The case of Angus McClain,
against whom a charge of murder
was sustained in the lower court,
came up for consideration before
the Supreme court last Friday. Its
consideration occupied the entire
day, but, was laid over till the Nav
term Of curt, the prisoners attor
pey, appointed by the court, not
having time to prepare his case.
Mr.. Mccain has been confined in
the Jail for over two years, since
November, 1887, and was senten-
ced to be hung in 'SS, but is now
endeavoring to secure a new trial.
Mason County has been put to a
great deal OF expense on this case,
but We had hoped to see the mat
ter settled in one way Or another,
without SO much delay and conse-
qnent increased expense. The
mills of the gods and OF justice
grind slowly, but they both grind
exceeding fine sometimes. The
case will undoubtedly be settled in
the May term, as the sane plea
will hardly work a secoLd time be-
fore the Supreme court.

President Harrison used his ex-
ecutive power the other day, in a
way showing his good Judgment.
A private soldier in the military
department of Dakota, refused to
do mental duty, holding it was not
in his line of duty, and for this he
was sentenced by court martial to
imprisonment tor one year, forfeit
IRE of all pay and dishonorable
discharge. Gen. Kruger, command
ing the department., approved the
findings. The president repri-
manded the general in good shape,

the accuser, has the alternative of
resign:ng or of being cashiered

The Chinook Jarg0n.

"Chinook, Il language or iargon, the
existence of which few people living
east of the rocky mountains know of,
is the sole medium of communica-
ton between the whites and Indians
upon the northwest coast of America,
from the Columbia river to Alaska, in.
Guiding the tribes scattered over Wash
ington and Oregon. Chinook is a
conventional language, and in this re-
spect is like the lingua franca of the
Mediterranean coast, and the 'pidgin'
English of the East Indies and China.
A century ago. in the year 1887, two
vessles, the Colum bia, commanded by
John Kendlick, and the Washington
by Robert Gray, left Boston on voy-
age TO the northwest coast of Amer
lea to open up a fur trade, and if pos
sible, to trade with China. At the
rendezvous in Nootka sound, to the
westward of Vancouver island, which
latter is Il part of what is now British
Columbia, the people on the vessels
acquired number of words used by
the natives. The expeditions going
afterward up the Columbia river into
Oregon, carried these Indian words
with them which, added to some COM
mon and easily pronounced English
words, formed the beginning and ba-
sis of the Chinook. It's vocabulary
was scant, however, until the coming
of the Aston expedition and the set
Element of Astoria. It WAS then en-
larged by number English words, to-
gether with many of French origin,
or of the Canadian patois. The dia-
lects of the Chinook and Chehalis
tribes, which ragged about southeas-
tern Oregon, furnished many words
for its development. The Hudson
Bay and Northwest companies, and
the early settlers of Oregon, further
added to it, it came into use between
Indians of different tribes, and even
between Americans and Canadians;
1t spread to Puget Sound and found
its way with trade up the Pacific coast
and river as explorers and settlers adj.
vanced, gradually spreading until it's
use reached its present extent."-Ex.

Morris County road bill, one OF
the utmost Importance to country
districts, will likely become a law,
it hoving passed the senate. The
bill provides that entire counties
may be bonded, by three-fifths
vote, for the construction OF county
roads, and SO sparsely settled dis
tricts will TINS get equally good
roads and yet be relieved Of the
entire burden Of constructing
the needed roads. The respective
road districts must eventually re-
imburse the county. A similar
bill also passed admitting counties
to be bonded for county purposes,
up to the constitutional limit
not to exceed 5 per cent.
