WE BEAT THEM ALL.

We frequently note the scaling of
some of the biz trees and logs in
the state of Washington, but the
full appreciation of their size is lost
by local comparison. 1t is only
when we see the records of big logs
of eastern points that we realize
what monster trees grow around
Puget Sound. The following from
the Maple Leaf, of Albert, New
Brunswick, Canada, in one Of the
leading numbering counties Of the
maritime provinces:
Some large lumber has recently
been referred to in these columns,
but the following cut at West Riv-
er, en- land Of George d. Prescott,
gives a still better record One
three-log tree containing 912 feet,
and a twelve-foot pine log contained
600 feet of sa wed lumber"
Compare this with the item Civ
en- the Trade Register recently of a
log 172 feet long that scaled 10000
and another fir in CIaIlam county
100 feet long, 10 feet at the butt
and 7 feet at the top, that scaled
81, 100 feet Of clear lumber. The
latter would more than make a
cargo for some Of the achooners that
carry lumber from Albert to St.
John 1t is only little over nine
ty-two times as large as the big
tree the Maple Leaf boasts about,
and which is fguratively a tooth
pick compared with Washington
timber.
A big stick was cut recently by
the Skamokawa mill. 1t was 20x20
81 feet long. Another stick 24x24,
104 feet long will be cut this week.
These big sticks Will be forwarded
as a part of a cargo to China on the
schooner Lewis for Shanghai

were slowly growing in number.
Gold was everywhere through the
Lo-Lo hills, but not in paying
quantities, and the best gulch we
found prospected only from three to
ten small "coIors" to the pan, but
that was no 100000 mine" Sun
day, under the guidance of Martin,
we visited Mundan gulch, where a
placer claim was being worked, and
there learn how gold is taken from
the ground by means of the roc ker
and the sluice box.

about the high, sparsely timbered
country that eliminated all novel
~ or interest from the day, and the
one aim of the party was to get
over it as soon as possible. The
iay was warm and the road dusty,
and Nature had not been very Law
ish in her distribution of water,
there being neither river or lake,
and the requests for water at the
home Of the occasional settler al
ways brought the same reply-"nO
water to spare" 1t was two o'clock
before an accommodating settler
directed us to a spring a half mile
down the almost perpendicular side
of canyon, but water must be had
as the horses were suffering from
thirst, and the animals were soon
taking long draught from foun
tain of sparkling water. This same
settler who directs the wayfarer to
the hillside spring also makes a
business of selling hay, and upon a
shed by the roadside appears the
sign hal for sale" Something
doubtless appeared wrong about
this sign, for another had been
made, and nailed to shed oppos-
tie, which told the passer that there
was "haye for sail" But hal"
haye," rjust plain hay, it was
all the same to hungry horses.
Weippe, little settlement on a
prairie by the same name, was
reached at six o'clock in the even
ing. The settlement boasts a store,
postotfice, blacksmith shop, and a
dozen other log buildings, occupied
and otherwise. The services of the
blacksmith were required to replace
"a shoe that one Of the horses had
lost, and the stock of the store was
drawn upon to supply a number of
articles that had been forgotten
But potatoes there were none; on
leaving Pullman we had decided to
let the purchase of this bulky but
necessary article 60 till reaching
Kendrick; at Kendrick we were ad-
vised to postpone the buying Of the
tuber till arriving at Weippe, as it
would reduce the loads for the
horses, but WeipDe was experience
ing a potato famine, consequently
potatoes, worth % cts, per hun
dred pounds were a luxury which
we did not enjoy during the trip.
At Weippe the last opportunity to
mail letters was accepted, and word
of our progress was sent to friends
at home.
Noon Of the day following, We'd
nesday, found Us in a meadow Of
luxuriant grass on Browns creek.
and it is needless to say that the
horses appreciated the long moon
ing taken, The six miles from
Browns creek to the Alussel Shell
were made that evening, and camp
was pitched alongside the little
stream, as it was the intention to
stop here for a day and give the
horses a good rest before pushing
on into the mountains proper. Thus
far we had had the benefit of a
fairly good wagon road which
traversed the foot hills, but at
Mussel Shell prairie the road ends,
there being no settlers beyond that
point, and the pack trail into the
BitterRoots commences. Thurs
day was given up to fishing, and
here commenced friendly contest

trip. The first round, fought In
the morning, resulted in honors
easy. ~ the score being nineteen each,
and when the contestants returning
to- camp after the evenings fishing,
with rs ofthe tinny beauties apiece,
the referee decided the first contest
draw.
During the day the engineer had
become acquainted with the old
prospoctor, d. w. Martin by name,
who lives in his log cabin on Mus
sci Shell prairie, who had enthused
him with the idea of hunting for
gold, and at council of war it was
decided to spend the next day with
the old man in prospecting the
gulches on Lo-Lo mountain for the
yellow metal. Bright and early
the following morning horses were
saddled, and with shoveIs, picks,
gold pans, etc. we followed our
new found friend along the noun
tain side, "prospectors," imbued
with the spirit of 40. Through the
dense forests, up one hill side and
down another, we followed the lead
of our guide, till at last he stopped
in a gulch that he said looked
promising" 1t was a gully that
ran with gentle slope down the
mountain side to the Lo-Lo creek,
and a tiny stream, fed by a spring
at its head, meandered its leneth
till it lost its individuality in the
rushing w.ters of the Lo-Lo. At
point near the middle of this gulch
Martin commenced operations, and
three "tenderfeet," now full-hedged
gold hunters, worked with a will.
The course of the little rill was
turned. and a "prospect hole" was
com nenced in its bed.
Hope is the one quality that
buoys up the prospector in his
search for the hidden wealth, and
Prospector Martin, in common with
a, Of his kind, was the embodi-
ment of hope. Every prospect hole
upon which he commenced work
was the one that would uncover
the 100000 mine" for every
prospector is looking for q mine of
Just that value Somewhere along
Lo-Lo creek, many years ago, an
old gold hunter known as Mack
White struck rich prospect, but
darkness came on, and he was un-
able to get the proper bearings, con-
sequently could never again find
the place. Ever since then the
"Mack White gulch" has been the
Will-o'-t the wisp that has attracted
the prospector, and Old Man Mar
tin lives in hope that some day he
may find that gulch. AS the three
PulImanites used shovel and pick.
Martin would discourse upon the
ikiihood Of having struck the Mack
White gulch; yes, this is Just in
the locality where Mack " hite was
travelling that time, and it's just
such a guich as he would prospect
in remarks our friend. The wash"
was the finest kind )" bed rock was
just what we are looking for" and
undoubtedly we've struck the
Mack " hite gulch, boys" and hope
rose paramount. After sinking the

How Fast the Earth Moves.

Everybody knows that the earth males
one complete revolution on its axis once
in each "a hours. But few, however,
have any idea of the high rate Of speed
at which such all immense ball must
turn i'll order to accomplish the feat of
making one revolution i'll day and a
night A graphic idea of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps up year
after year may be had by comparing its
speed to that of a cannon ball fired from
a modern high pressure gun. The high
est velocity ever attained by such mis-
sile has been estimated at ,626 feet per
second, which is equal to mile in
3 2-10 seconds. The earth, in making
one complete revolution in the short
space Of "a hours, must turn with a
velocity almost exactly equal to that of
the cannon ball. In short, its rate Of
speed at the equator is exactly .o07
feet per second. This is equal to mile
every 3 6-l0 seconds, II miles a min

BUILT THE WRONG WAY.
Why tho Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.


Il never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended in Georgia, said retired
Cincinnati meat packer. ut was at
Macon. and think they called it a state
fair At any rate it was a big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
vanian had sent down about 20 of the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites, and if
recollect Alright they We're exhibited by
Thomas Wood, a great hog and cattle
fancier of 20 and 30 years ago. He il
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made great deal of money ont of his
fancy stock He was "a Friend-a Qua
ker, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore IA broad brimmed hat.
He was a smart old gentleman, honest
and prosperous He sent his hogs from
state far to state fair, and they took so
many prizes ana blue ribbons that each
hog looked like a boy who had spent all
his money making ii collection of badges.
"When tine Macon judges made their
awards. they ave blue ribbons very lib

prize. Tie NFner Of the exhibit did not

My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome, and
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are so
short legged and fat that IA niger could
catch them in two minutes. What we

Irrigation by Pumping Plants.

The New England Homestead pub
fishes an article on irrigation by pump
ing plants. The belief is expressed that
certainly it will pay every grower OF
fruits and vegetables to study carefully
into the cost of irrigation by means of a
ram or pump where the gravity method
cannot be used. And even for general
crops irrigation will often pay. Droughts
are too frequent to go uninsured against
by any farmer who is doing much bust
ness. With the improved hydraulic rams
of today or the various engines, wind
mills, etc. it ought to be possible TO OBJ
tain at small cost an outfit that would

"All right, my dear, - said Johnson.
"I'll be home at 4. p"
So that afternoon Johnsons wife sent
the children over to visit on the other

cracks to deaden sound. After fervent
prayer that all the neighbors would be
out of town for few hours that after
noon she was ready for Johnson.
He arrived promptly
"The stove is out in the wood Shed. &"
said his wife.
The stove WAS not very large and
after Johnson had dressed himself for

Then he tackled down the oilcloth

He took the stove in carefully and
put it i'll the right place.
There was plenty of the old stovepipe,
and while he cleaned it in the alley

for it, and so did the next one The ell
