PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 30 Captain w.
l.. Fisk, corps of engineers, United
States army, has given notice to the
public that the canal and locks at the
cascades of the Columbia river will be
opened for navigation November 5. For
the present they will be operated for the
passage of boats only during the hours
OF daylight, and it may be necessary to
further restrict their use for the time be-
ing to certain hours Of the day, in order
Lot to interfere with the work still in
progress. The locks have been under
construction for more than IL years and
the United States government has eX-
pended about s31 100000 on them.

Double Grants.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Another step in
a lo~ng-standing controversy has been
taken by the secretary of the interior in
declining to approve the designation of
the city OF Duluth, MINI, as the eastern
terminus or initial point of the Northern
Pacific railroad grant. The department
holds that the terminal should be
at right angles to the last section Of
the road and directs that a new termi-
nal be established as the new eastern
terminus of the road accordingly. Under
instructions of the department the line
of both the Northern Pacific and the
Lake Superior & Mississippi roads are
the same between Thomson and Du-
luth. A line of the same character as a
terminal line should be established on
the Lake Superior & Mississippi railroad
at Thomson. Between the line so estab-
lished and the eastern terminus Of the
Northern Pacific grant when established
as now directed, the Northern Pacific
will not be entitled to indemnity for
lands to which the other company may
have been entitled under its grant.
The intention of congress. it is stated,
was evidently to provide against making
a double grant, where two land grants
were found to be upon the same general
linas.

A pretty little incident is that told by
Miss Edgeworth, in her recently published
correspondence, of an old peasant of her
acquaintance, Robin Woods, who was very
sick, very old and fast approaching his end.
She went to see him and found him in
bed, CHEEKY and accomplishing, enjoying
the society of his pet bird, IA robin red
breast, which fluttered contentedly about
the room, entirely at liberty and entirely
ut home.
The old man was about to have meal,
and as he took his bowl of milk and pota-
toes the bird, which had perched on the
foot of the bed, hoped eagerly along its
masters body from his foot upward, sure
of share in the feast She thought the
sight pretty one and said to the invalid,
looking from one robin to the other:
You seem very happy together
Yes, " was the quaint answer as the old
fellow smiled gratefully at his companions
able little namesake, I'VE was that ever
since we was married. "

All that is mortal of Sir John Millais
has been laid to rest. His works remain,
and they will delight generations to come
no less, we believe than they have delight
ed the generation that is past. Will they
endure for centuries as well as for genera
tions? 1t were rash-nay, it is impossible
to say; rash, because judgments in art
matters are often very uncertain; impOssi-
BILE, because the reputation of painter
depends upon his pigments, and whether
his pigments will endure only time can
show.
Those who stood yesterday in the art
lists corner of the crypt must have re-
called instances of each of these disturbing
factors. Among the artists buried there is
Benjamin West. He, too, was president
and the great painter of his time, whom
all the world admired, and who was fol-
lowed to the grave by the affectionate ad
miration of cultivated society. Yet who
knows of Vests pictures now? There are
some in the possession of the National gal
lery, but they have been sent to limbo
The fashion which produced them and ad-
mired them has passed away
In the other cases suggested by the his
tory of the artists corner it is not the
fashions but the pigments, that have gone.
There are several of Reynolds pictures
which have been fading away in the sight
of men still living, and it seems only too
likely that the men and women with whose
counterfeit presentments he filled the halls
and castles of England will one day be
only the ghosts of ghosts
And as for the great Turner, who pur-
sued and seemed to have caught 1.-The
light that never was on land or sea, the
conservation and the poet dream, many
of his wonderful impressions are already,
in literal truth, like unsubstantial pag
eants, faded n'-London News.

The Hay Ration,

At the Maine station an experiment
was made with three milk COWS which
covered three periods of four weeks each
The COWS received the same ration of
grain and silage in all the periods, ex-
cept that in the first and last periods
they received 10 pounds of hay per day
g pounds being given as noon feed)
and in the second period only 8 pounds.
The testimony of this experiment is I'M
favorable to the smaller ration Of hay.
The withdrawal of the noon feed of .
pounds of hay resulted in, first, di-
unfinished flow of milk second, loss of
weight of the animals and, third, an
appearance of unthriftiness i'll the COWS.
Although the COWS lost flesh and dimin-
ished greatly in their product, the quail
ity of the milk seems not to have been
influenced.

Covering Wheat With Straw.

The mulching of wheat with either
coarse or fine manure is good way to
dispose of it if done any time in winter
when the ground is frozen and covered
with snow. The wheat may not pay
much for the manure at present low
prices But few farmers now grow
wheat for the profit they get from sell
ing the grain. 1t is because no other
crop is quite so good to use i'll getting a
clover catch that it still holds its place
in farm rotations. For the clover catch
a winter top dressing Of stable manure
is worth good many dollars per acre,
according to American Cultivator,
which adds
1t is possible that the increased value
Of the clover crop the first year will pay
a dollar load for the manure spread
on the field the previous winter Use,
therefore, all the coarse manure you can
spare for your wheatfelds. But we
would not advise you to use straw that
had not been at least manure soaked.
Dry straw would blow off from most
fields, or, if it were held down until it
became compacted into the soil, it
might do as much harm as good. The
straw itself has very trihing manurial
value. 1t operates as a mulch to the
surface soil at the time in early spring,
when the soil requires the sunlight. 1t
would also interfere with har owing
the wheat, one important purpose of
which is to loosen the surface soil and
expose more of it to sunlight and air.
