Adventure of Former Belfast Pastor

The Los Angeles, Calf, Herald gives the
following account of perilous trip made by
Rev. D. n. Utter, formerly pastor of the
Unitarian church of this city:
Rev. David Utter Of Salt Lake recently
made the descent of the Colorado River on a
raft built of driftwood, 20 feet long, six feet
wide and Well spiked together. Two boxes
with false bottoms, containing provisions,
We're nailed upon the raft. They served as
seats when the water was smooth, and pro-
tected the provisions from the swash The
navigators got into serious trouble only
once. On the first day the raft was carried
into an eddy about 600 feet long and 800 feet
wide and very deep. At the foot of the eddy
the current was 50 strong that it required
an hour of the hardest kind of padding to
get over into the stream again.
IF either of us had lost his footing there
and gone overheard, that would have been
the end, said Mr.. Utter, "because the suck
would have carried him down. and if he
should be fortunate enough to come up
again, there would be nothing to take hold
I'VE We're three days on the raft, tying up
at night. and made about half the distance
the first day. The scenery we'll repaid the
journey, and the Black Canyon, where the
mountains reach height of 5000 feet, with
sheer precipices on both sides, rising like
masonry from the river, was grandeur itself
We encountered one very unpleasant fea-
ture-a hot wind, such as / never felt be-
fore. Instinctively we turned our backs to
the blast. 1t literally cooked the skin.

A Plea for suhsring Children.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: l
wish to enter protest against the pre-
vailing style Of dressing children, both
girls and boys. Much is said about the
styles grown people are adopting bloom
ers, enormous sleeves, large, heavy skirts,
etc. That is all very we'll; for we all know
there is need enough of dress reform for
ladies and misses, too. But it is the chill
dren that wish to speak Of. Mothers,
when the thermometer stands at 9Oo in
the shade, why do you permit your boys
to wear thick, heavy coat, and warm
wooden cap? Why do you not have them
wear cool, straw hat and leave that de-
testable REFER off entirely. have in my
mind poor boy l recently met while out
walking. His double breasted coat was
buttoned from top to bottom, a cap pulled
over his forehead, and he was the picture
of misery. The sun beat down in scorch-
ing rays, and although | was dressed in
thin apparel, felt the heat very much. l
longed to cry out to him: Take off that
coat and cap, 60 to your mother and ask
her to give you suitable clothing to wear.
Tell her style is driving you to an early
grave, or if you survive you will become
city fop or dude you can never
make rugged man such as your ances-
tors were: that you will never be able to
fill Cleveland's place; the country boy
gets that position, and why? Because
Johnny is dressed warmly in winter. With
his pants we'll over his knees his thick
wooden stockings and heavy leggings and
wooden underwear, he is protected from
the cold. In Summer he wears a cotton
footed, and is nice and cool. His mother
doesn't wonder whether he looks stylish
End pretty: she knows that his childhood
should be careless and free. She sends
him to bed early, after charging him never
to smoke a filthy pipe Or chew that OBJ
noxious weed, tobacco. She thinks Of
his comfort and his behavior; and when
he has grown to mani estate and fills a
high position, one Of trust and honor, he
can stand little style, for he is strong he
is in robust health, thanks to that country
mother: he has fine constitution, that
helps him to bear up against the trials
and adversities of this life'' Mothers,
see that youl children are dressed com
fortably: never mind the style.
Yours for health,
a COUNTRY WOMAN.

Oregon Pine a Misnomer.

ASeattle paper rises to remark that the
spars of both the Defender and Valkyrie,
as well as Of countless other vessels, com
monty reputed to be of Oregon pine are
really Of Douglas fir, and adds: Wash
ington annually sends out at least 100 YES
sells timber laden, in every direction, all
the way from Corea to Australia and the
Hawaiian Islands, and even to the Kim
berley diamond mines and the Johnan-
nesburg gold mines, in Africa. 1t is stat
ed that the flag Of the Emperor Of Japan
flies from stick of Puget Sound timber,
and it is known positiv ely that the flag
staff on Windsor Castle, from which waves
the union jack in the daily view Of Queen
Victoria, is a Douglas fir from Puget
Sound "a Yankee contribution to the
furniture of the monarch of the British
Isles. It is also true that the largest flag
staff in Maine, the Pine Tree State, is at
Lewiston, and it came from Puget Sound.
Nor is it a remarkable piece Of timber, as
one comes to think who lives in Washing
ton. 1t is all the Douglas fir, yet it is
known abroard as Oregon pine.

Kansas wit and Philosophy.

From the Atchison Globe
A mans cup Of happiness is never full
because there is no bottom to it.
We don't see how any one can run away
from home that has bath tub in it,
The farther a man goes from home, the
more important becomes the position he
is holding.
The bloomer girl doesn't show any
Christmas presents when she falls out Of
hammock.
A woman is not really dressed up un-
less her clothes are SO tight that they are
uncomfortable.
What has become Of the old fashioned
bootjack? They have probably all been
thrown at the cats.
People who get there with both feet,
like Jerry Simpson and Trilby, need some
thing besides feet to keep them there.
It is pretty and romantic to sit and gaze
at the moon these nights, but there is
more money in getting up in time to gaze
at the sunrise.

Congressman Milliken's success.

There can be no question that Congress
man Milliken's prompt and energetic pro
test against the dumping of river dredg-
ings into the Hallowell boom has resulted
in success. Mr.. Milliken went to Wash
ington some days ago and consulted with
MI. Craighill, chief engineer U. S. A.,
and on his return to Maine had an inter-
view with the Secretary of War at Sor-
rento. Mr.. Lamont Immediately sent a
despatch to resident Engineer D. P. Heap
at Portland, instructing him not to allow
dredgers to enter the boom. The debris
will undoubtedly be deposited at Tarbox
negotiations is only another instance Of
the promptness and efficiency Of our pop
ular Congressman in dealing with public
matters. Kennebec Journal.
