A Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades of the Columbia. It Is q
triple-peaked mass of dark brown ba-
salt, six or eight miles in length,
where 1t fronts the river, and rises to
the height of almost 1000 feet above
the water.
That 1t is in motion is the last
thought that would be likely to sug
gest itself to the mind of anyone pass
ing 1t, yet 1t is well established fact
that this entire mountain is moving
slowly but steadily down to the river.
as II 1t had deliberate purpose some
time in the future, to dam the Column
bia and form great lake from the
Cascades to the Dalles. In its down
ward movement the forest along
the base of the ridge has been sub
merged in the river. Large tree
stumps can be seen standing dead in
the water on this shore. The railway
engineers and brakemen find that the
line of railway which skirts the foot
of the mountain Is being continually
forced out of place. At certain points
been pushed eight and ten feet out of
line in few years. Biologists attri-
butte this strange phenomenon to the
fact that the basal, which constitutes
the bulk of the mountain, rests on a
sub-stratum of conglomerate. or of soft
sandstone, which the deep, swift cur
rent Of the mighty river is constantly

When William Luke narrated his
dream. men looked at one another
aghast. Even the most skeptical could
not doubt that he had actually seen a
vision of the murder as 1t really hap

him was that he had been unable to
see the face Of the woman. In tho hut;
and thus his suspicious alto the con-
nection between Edward Bartlett, Anne
Dodson, and the late occupants Of the
hut remained as uncondrmed ~ be-

Mr.. Hall at once communicated with
tho police at Mount Gipps. and early
tho next morning four troopers and
some black trackers appeared on the
scene
Nearly two months had elapsed since
the departure OF Baynes and his wife,
and nothing at all had been heard of
them. That they had murdered Robert
Luke there could be no possible doubt.
/. The excitement on the station was
intense. and people nocked from all
parts of the country to witness the
scene Of the awful crime and to behold
the man who had dreamed that fearful
dream.
1t was suggested that an expedition
should Be sent out to hunt all the
country round about.

with the sergeant OF the police. ut Is

ing mp TO the door. caused him to look
round.
The woman, quick as thought, raised
tho cruel bar of Iron In her hands
and dealt him heavy blow upon his
skull; and with wall OF "Help-help!'
Robert Luke fell face downward upon
the floor.
Then came a blank In the dream,
and William saw no more. Presently
however he beheld the figure of his
brother standing near the bed. Rails
Ing himself slowly, he gazed into his
face, and, holding out his arms, he en-
deavored TO embrace him.
His brother looked sadly into his
eyes, and then, turning from him,
moved slowly toward the fireplace, and
vanished from his sight.
William Luke awoke to find himself
standing on the bare earth OF the hut.
The moon shone brightly through the
open window, upon the spot where, In
his dream. he had last seen his brother.
This time he remembered all he had
dreamed.
He is there" he cried-"foully MUIR
dered and buried there! Heaven help
me II am going madl"
Then. rushing down to the huts
where the men slept. he awakened the
whole station.
In less than an hour sturdy men,
with lanterns to light them at their
work, were busily engaged with pick
axes and shovels In raising the hearth

was directing and urging them on to

place was gathered In and around the
hut speculating as to what possible dis
covery there might be made.
Tho mon had removed tho rough
stones upon the hearth, and had dug
some four feet deep into the earth,
when they stopped to take breath.

Deeper down yet-deeper down."
Keep quiet. Luke!" demonstrated
Mr.. Hall. "Your exciting yourself like
this can do no good"
Luke sat down upon bench and
buried his face In his hands. He could |
not endure even the moments delay
which the men required for rest from
their toll
Again the hut resounded with the
sound of the pick and shovel at work.
But Luke looked up no more Mr.. Halls
words had soothed his overweight
mind. and he waited patiently for what
night come.

DR.. Jones recently sued Trego coun-
ty for medical services rendered under
a contract just such a contract as the
present commissioners gave to DR.
Amis). When the suit came to trial
the county, through Attorney Hutzel,
confessed judgment on that part of
the claim based on services as health
officer but the commissioners claimed
to have no legal right to pay for other
services as county physician, because
the contract was illegal. The suit
was Withdrawn and the claims, prop
erly verified and o. KID by the town
ship trustees who ordered the services,
were presented to the board while in
session this week. A majority of the
