An Amphibious steamer.

What else shall we call a steamer that
travels on both land and water? That
is just what little steamer which has
just been finished in Sweden has done
on its trial trip, and there seems to be
no reason why it may not be successful
traveller on land as well as in water.
There are two lakes near Boras that are
separated by a considerable strip of
land. The object of the strange steamer
is to save expense in the transportation
of freight across the lake, particularly
the avoidance of double shipment.
Rails have been laid across the land slip
and the steamer is SO constructed that
by its own engines it can be run from
the water upon the rails and then roll
across until it dips into the other lake.
The little steamer is of ten-horse power
and can accommodate sixty passengers
in addition to its freight. 1t is very ap-
propriately named the Svanen, which is
Swedish for swan.

that a road has not been built years ago.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous,
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This Remedy
effectually counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia, pro-
vided that proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the at
tack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy
during the epidemics of the past two
years has failed to discover single case

suited in pneumonia. 25 cent, so cent

North Yakima ReJoices Over the Sue
of the Second Flowing Well.
Yakima is happy over the fact that a
second well of flowing artesian water
has been added to her treasures. The
success of the first attempt to secure ar
tesian water was joyful surprise, but
it was feared that it was only lucky
strike, but now that another strong
stream has been secured, and at depth
of only 159 feet, the problem of the irri-
CATION of those lands lying above the
ditch lines is considerably solved. The
new well is eight inches in diameter,
and the flow is estimated at 500, 900
gallons per diem. The drill is still
being sent down with good effect, the
discharge of water constantly increasing
as greater depth is attained, and it is
thought that the flow will exceed that
of the first well very shortly.
There are now four artesian well
plants in Yakima county, and a fifth,
and heavier one, will at once be ordered
by the company on the Mckee.
The first well is $50 feet deep, and
flows 650,000 gallons per day. In the
second we'll the water is within ten feet
of the surface, and operations are now
suspended awaiting heavier machinery
to sink the shaft deeper. It is already
over 800 feet deep.

Stole a Mummy.

1t is seldom live white man steals a
dead Indian, but this very anomaly has
occurred at Pendleton.
Several months ago some curiosities in
the shape of mnmmified Indians were
taken from tine Indian graveyard at Long
Island, on the Columbia river, near
Umatilla. One, the remains of an In
presented to DIR. Smith of this city. He
left it in a room in the Thompson &
Flack building, and contemplated send
ing it to medical college in the east A
few weeks ago, when he took Will Hall
Poore of the Irrigation Age to view the
curiosity, the mummy turned up miss
ing.
Recently pale, black-eyed young man
who had boot black stand at the Pan
theon, and prospered for a time but fin
ally lost his pile by gambling and other
recklessness, left the city. He borrowed
money, and his departure was mourned
by his creditors. Later it was discov-
cred by the officers that the young man,
whose name is George E. Deletts, was
negotiating for the sale of an Indian
mummy at Portland for the handsome
sum of $3.50. So Deputy Sheriff HALEY,
who went to Salem with prisoners, cor
raled the bootblack and will bring him
back on this evenings train.
Thus do the vices of life lead their vic
TINS into temptation, even to purloining
mummified Indian, which surely ought
to have few attractions for the covetous.

The Route Down the Scenic Western
Slope OF the Roekies-Work on
the Monte Cristo Road.

Work on the Great Northern main line
Is nov in progress from Fern Bluff 10
within seventeen miles Of the summit, at
which point the heavy rock work in the
mountains begins. The force Of workmen
IS being daily enlarged. and while men
were abundant two weeks ago, they nave
now become rather scarce. The heaviest
piece Of work now under way is the tunnel
between the forks Of the Skykomish. which
is 80 fee. long and runs mainly through
rock
II IS believed that some arrangement Is
in progress for the purchase Of the Three
6 road by the Great Northern. One
reason for this is that on the line
as located from Snohomish TO Everett
there is one long, deep cut of about
$4,000 cubic yards. which viii
occupy so much time that, if 1t Is TO be
completed by the time the rest Of the
grading is done, work should begin on it
without delay. As no step has been taken
to begin this work. it is inferred that this
route has not been definitely adopted.
The refusal of the Snohomish commits
sioners 10 grant liquor licenses along the
line has had good effect in preventing
drunkenness and preserving order in the
graders camps. The men. however, are
not reliable, for the majority of them are
continually leaving as soon as they have
earned little money and going on a
spree. Some wholesale liquor merchants
are understood TO have brought pressure
to bear on the county commissioners TO
revoke their decision to grant no licenses,
but so far without effect
