Developments In Connecticut Valley,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Our Investigations of the soils of the
Connecticut valley, together with the
study of the climatic conditions pre-
vailing there and the conditions of
growth in Florida, Cuba and Sumatra,
convinced me that a finer commercial
grade of leaf should be grown upon
some of the soils in that state. The
completion of the soil map of a portion
of the Connecticut valley from South
Glastonbury, Conn.,, to South Hadley,
Mass, gave a basis for an intelligent
line Of investigation looking to the i'm
provement of the Connecticut leaf In
December, 1899, Mr. Floyd went to
New Haven and in cooperation with
the Connecticut experiment station fer
mented a lot of tobacco according to
the most improved Florida methods
which have been developed from the
methods used In Cuba and Sumatra
The products of this experiment were
admitted by the growers and dealers to
be superior In the uniformity Of color
to the results obtained by the usual
method Of case fermentation. It was

The Rhode Island station states that
from an inspection of the amounts of
soluble phosphOric acid found in sam
pies of commercial fertilizers it will be
seen that the amounts claimed to be
present are very often in excess Of
those found. The station explains that
soluble phosphoric acid may partially
change into reverted" form or in some
cases even into ''insOluble" combina-
tons upon long standing and suggests
that manufacturers should place their
guarantees of soluble acid low enough
to allow for this.

Interest In the use of irrigation to
supplement rainfall in the humid re-
gions of the United States is constant
ly growing. In a number Of sections
this has been greatly stimulated during
the past season by long continued
drought. Interesting and valuable in
yestigations regarding the use of water
for irrigation in New Jersey have been
made by Professor Voorhees,, and they
indicate that the practice of irrigation
has been quite profitable in that state
as far as 1t has been tried. Similar in
vestigations are being undertaken in
Missouri and Wisconsin, says Secre-
tary Wilson.

Chintirnini,

Thanks to the energy and research
of President Hawley, of Willamette Uni
versity, geegraphers will eliminate from
the harmonious names of Oregon one
jarring note and place sound of music
there.
This towering monarch to our weat,
the mightiest of the Pacific range, has
been the gibe of. the valleys, streams and
hills Of Oregon to whom the children of
the forest had applied soft names of
beauty and of worth. The prosaic pale
face, whose inspiration was his greed for
wealth and whose ear was not attuned
to natures song. had robbed this pa
triarch of his sex and name and reduced
his station to Marys Peak. The maiden
city at his feet is proudly known as Cor
wallis. The river, Willamette, leaps on
ward ever to the sea, but humbled
martyred Marys Peak is bowed in deep
humility.
But great wrongs need but time to
right them, and Chintimini has found
champion in President HawleY. In a
letter written recently 10 President
Catch he relates the legends connected
with the mountain. and states that the
Chinooks knew it az Chintimini.
The order Of Native Sons, whose duty
it is to sound the early history of the
state, will search the records and, if
proper, invest the mountain with his
ancient title.

Where Rolls the Umpqna.

Writing to friend in this city, from
the Life Station at the Umpqua, Dennis
Stovall says: By special invitation from
Captain Burgman have been spendin g
short visit here at the Umpqua Life
Saving Station. Percl.ed way up here in
the lookout can gaze down over the
harbor to where the rolling pillows of
the Pacific tess their white-caps madly
over the sand spit at the Umpqua en-
trance. To my right I can look for miles
over barren stretch of glistening sand
that ends in long straight line forming
the ocean beach. 1t is indeed beauti-
full sight. Away out there over the blue
where there is hardly Distinguishing
feature between sky and water, dark
line of smoke from a passing steamer or
the white sails of a schooner are the only
object found to rest the eye of the
monotous blue. Peaceful and calm is
the old Pacific today, yet it is not alyays
SO along the coast. Down in the boat
h ouse of the station can be read the
words in large letters on the wall, 'Ta-
coma, ''Wetmore." "Ralph," 'Robert
E. J" "Minnie," "Truckee," and others.
The names tell the sad story of stranded
and wrecked ships that have gone ashore
here, to be rescued by the brave boys of
the station; they picture to me, too,
that beach beautiful today but strewn
then with the bodies of drowned sailors.
One more name is to be added to the
list. 1t is Maggie Her crew were
rescued three days ago, but today saw
her as she lay high and dry on the sands

Sixty-two and sixty-eight.

In Alsea next Sunday, will occur the
marriage of Joseph G. Polly and Mrs.
Charlotte Taylor. Mr.. Polly presented
himself at the clerks Office Wednesday
and asked that license be granted him,
but as Mr.. Polly is only 6S years of age
and looks considerably younger, Clerk
Waters hesitated before issuing the
document. Mr.. Polly, however, had
forseen this difficulty and had taken
Mr.. Norm Lilly with him as sponsor.
Upon this gentlemen's assurance that
Mr.. Polly was over twenty-ene and that
his bride. being 62, had passed the age
of consent, the license was granted.
Mr.. Polly is highly respected citizen
of Alsea. lie was pioneer Corvallisite,
and kept hotel here in early days. The
present Occidental is a product of his
enterprise. Soon after building it in the
early SOS, he disposed OF his city prop
erty and took up his residence in Alsea.

"poet of The S,erras."

Joaquin Miller, "Poet of the Sierras"
is an Oregon pioneer and one of the
greatest literary lights the West has ever
produced. His name like that of Sam
L. Simpson is a household word in
Oregon, and while all know him, few
in this vicinity have seen him and still
fewer have had the opportunity of hear
ing him speak. Through the enterprise
of Superintendent Denman the oppor-
tnnity will be given the public of Cor
wallis to hear this highly-gifted man at
the opera house tomorrow evening.
His subject will be "Arctic Empire !"
with prelude on lessons not found in
books. Mr.. Miller's familiarity with
Alaska, this land so fraught with adven-
ture, so heaped with treasure and rich
with romance to stir the Imagination of
the poet, enables him to fill an evening
with entertainment at once delightful
and profitable.
