Some months ago the Williams
Bros, Of Payette, instituted suit
against the U. p. r. r. to compel
them toput in draw bridges over the
Snake river, they claiming that the
present bridges interfercd with their
navigation of the river The
Williams Bros. are engaged in placer
mining on the river, and had small
steamer which they moved from bar
to bar The bridges prevented
coming up the river above Riverside
and they instituted the suit above
stated. While we can get no author
alive statement of the case, rumor
says that the Oregon courts have
decided that Snake river is navigable
stream and that the railroad company
has no right to interfere with its traffic
and issued an order for them to mt
in draw bridges within a specified
time. The rumor further saws that
the company has decided to abandon
the bridges entirely by taking up the
present track from point near
Parma and lay it on this side OF the
river instead Of crossing. As at
present the railroad only crosses the
river into Oregon to rccross it into
Idaho again after run of l8 miles
the statement seems quite plausible.
Should such move be made, Ontario
will be left without a railroad but
aside from this there could be no
objection. 1nsomuch as it would
throw 10 more miles of railroad in
Canyon county, the Idaho side could
have no objections.

Never. perhaps was an enthusiasts,
and scholar more indebted to his wife
for practical ala and sympathy than
was DR.. Henry Draper, the famous
astronomer. Mrs. raper IL sister of
CORTLAND Palmer. IS woman OF the
rarest graces Of mind and heart. Not
only is she beautiful and gifted with
the elegance OF manner that made her
brother doubly famous. but in addi-
ton to other qualities she possesses
an intellect of more than ordinary
grasp and vigor. During his lifetime
Mrs. Draper was her husbands val
ued assistant in his astronomical ex-
periments and researches. She en-
tered with ardor iuto the science he
loved. and became an expert in using
the delicate instruments employed in
the observatory. At his death she
paid the most hitting tribute possible
to his memory. Presenting Harvard
university with his wonderful teles-
copes and building and supporting
the Draper memorial, she felt her
labor of love but half complete. Now
not only are the northern heavens
swept by tho lens OF this memorial
observatory, but southern stars are
studied, too, carrying on. as hi
would have it, u double watch OF thu

A Birds Travels.

A newspaper paragraph telling of a
curious place chosen by a Robin for
It's nest reminds Mr.. Richard Dean
that few years ago. when acting as
one of the judges at the summer show
of the Reading Horticultural society,
he found in one of the large cone
shaped lycopods submitted for compe-
tition a robins nest with four eggs
The plants had been brought by road
tor several miles, and they were not
taken back again until late in the
evening. Mr.. Dean says: IL was
glad to learn afterwards that the hem
bird returned to the nest when the
plant was placed in It's position in the
greenhouse and Matched out her young
in due course. The parent birds were
able to pass in and out of the green
house at pleasure"

WOODBRIDGE.

We have celebrated the Fourth OF
July for some six years, by picnics and
games, but this years picnic was the
most enjoyable we have had. The
weather was beautiful and the pros
poets of the crops no doubt raised the
spirits of all. Manitoba turned out in
great force, and we had many from
Hannah and the settlements west. AL
together there must have been over
five hundred present. The tables were
spread at midday and all were well
come to partake Of a bounteous meal
without money and without price. 1t
would take too long to describe all
that was on the tables, and only make
those who did not come feel like kick
ing themselves that they missed such a
treat. The tables were spread under a
cover of green boughs on the edge of
that beautiful sheet of water known as
Lovers Lake, on which were several
boats, kept in constant run, for no
sooner would one happy couple leave a
boat than it was taken by another.
Others played croquet, ETC., etc.
The first Of the games was, of course,
base ball, a match game between the
Cypress club, from Manitoba. and the
Townsend club which resulted in bad
defeat for our club-the score stand

Next was the races. A considerable

u1.nufacture of Cellulo,d.

The substance known as celluloid con.
sists usually of dissolved paper. although
cotton or other vegetable fibers may be
used. In the manufacture, tissue paper is
treated with nitric and sulphuric acids;
the product is washed and camphor added.
The mass is then ground. Coloring matter
is now added and the mass is made INFO a
paste with alcohol; it is then pressed and
broken between rolls. The finished mass
is very plastic and may be moulded and
pressed into any desired shapes, drawn
into tubes, etc. All the celluloid articles
sold in the United States, and in fact the
bulk Of all that are sold the world over, is
the product of an American company
factory. The output of the company last
year was valued at 81 500, 900.
