RECLAIMING ALkALl LANDS
Planting With Salt Bush May Make Good
Pasture of the Worst.

Planting With Salt Bush May Make Good
Pasture of the Worst.
Charles H. Shinn of the agricultural
department. of the California state uni
versity returned recently from the agri-
cultural experiment station at Tulare
with enthusiastic reports Of the success
Of the experiments which have been
made there recently in the reclamation
Of alkali lands.
The land, some Of which is the worst
alkali land in the state, has been treat.
ed with gypsum, and during the season
over 800 kinds of seeds will be planted
in the ground. A crop Of wheat is ex-
pected where before the reclamation Of
the land barley grew only an inch high.
"We are showing the people, " said
Mr.. Shinn, THAT even on a small scale
the land can be profitably reclaimed in
this manner OF course if all the farm
ers would adopt the method the recla
nation of the alkali lands would be
much easier and cheaper.
"We have discovered that much cal
be done to neutralize the effect of the
alkali by mechanical treatment Of the
soil. By using straw-not manure, fol
manure makes alkali soil even worse
the ground is kept warm and the colo
alkali is kept from rotting the seed.
"Our experiments with the Atriples
semibaccalum, OF salt bush, have alsC
proved that even without reclamation
alkali lands can be made valuable fol
pasture Within the last three or foul
years we have distributed at least ,00(
pounds Of the seed all over the state
The salt bush makes a thick growth 81,
or seven inches high and makes excel
lent grazing for sheep. The excellence
of the Australian wool is due very large
ly to the abundance of salt bush upol
which the sheep Craze. On the karroo
OF South Africa the salt bush has bee1
planted for sheep pasture by severa
companies.
"The planting of the salt bush prom
ises to establish new industry in Cali
fornia. Already there is large demand
for the seed, even from Mexico. Th'
bush grows where alfalfa will not grow
and in many cases, perhaps, it will b.
cheaper to plant it than to attempt t.

the Occur d'Alene gambling rooms.
One turn of the cards enriched a player
$4,000. A young Englishman, evident

until he was a winner Of over so, 500.
He then made final plunge on the

f airies Of the
Christmas Tide

As a rule the story of Santa Claus
and his pack and his reindeer is the
only folklore tale American children
ever hear. but in European lands the
youngsters begin to listen to stories of
holidaytime fairies and sprites and
other delightful Christmas creatures
about soon as they are able to hear
stories of any kind whatsoever And
the charming narratives detailing the
doings of these queer beings are re-
peated SO often as to fix them firmly in
the mind, so that their hearers would
almost as soon doubt their own exist
ence as to call in question any of these
tales.
In Norway the children hear a great
deal about the merry doings of the
"Nisse fairies at Christmas time
They are about the size of small chill
dren; and although it is yet believed by
many juvenile Norwegians that the
Mise" sometimes appear nowadays,
there is no doubt whatever that they
were far more numerous in the good
old times. when grandma was a lit
tie girl" They are supposed to be
fond of pranks and inclined to all sorts
of mischief when not treated with the
greatest respect. Accordingly, on
porridge, cakes and other. delicacies
are often provided for them; but care
must be taken in making the offerings,
lest the fairies take offense, and there
Is tale. universally received in the
more remote portions of Norway, about
a little girl who made some hooking
remark on Christmas eve concerning
the Nisse when she conveyed the por-
ridge that had been set apart for them,
and was so roughly handled before the
morning that she died on Christmas
day.
Once. according to another Norwe-
gian story, a certain sailor desired to
present a cake on Christmas day to the
Spirit of the Waters. But when he
came to the shore he found that the
waters were frozen. So he began to
make hole in the ice; but, do the best
he could, he found it impossible to
made the hole large enough to put tho
cake through. At last he was giving
up in despair, when, to his surprise a
tiny hand as white as snow, reached
through the hole and seized the cake.
To this day you cannot pay Norwe-
gian lady more delicate compliment
than to tell her that her hands is like
a water sprite's.'

THE YUKON RIVER.
Something About the Mighty Stream of
Alaska.

Alaska.
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The Yukon, the great river of Alaska
is one of the mightiest streams of the
world. 1t is navigable for large steam
ers, as one unbroken flood 1866 miles
from its mouth, to where the Lewes
and Pelly rivers unite to form it, or
farther than from New Orleans TO St
Paul, and more than twice as far as
from New Orleans to Chicago and
navigable for light draft boats hun
dreds of miles farther up each of these
arms. At its mouth it is about so
miles wide, and 1,400 miles above it is
from eight to ten miles in width. 1t
drains an empire of more than 100000
square miles and discharges nearly as
much water into the Boring sea as the
Mississippi does into the Gulf of Mex
leo. Scores of mighty tributaries, many
of them navigable streams, pour their
waters into it's majestic channel. About
1850 miles above it's mouth, the Klon-
dyke, clear, shallow river, perhaps
200 miles long, and swarming with fish,
empties into it. Along the bed and
banks of this comparatively insignifi-
cant stream have recently been discov-
cred the gold placers that have aroused
the attention and fired the cupidity of
the world.
