els" he replied. From now until
next spring practically all of our four
boats will be kept busy carrying
grain.
1t is in this way that much of the
crop of this territory reaches the
markets. First, in wagons to the
warehouses, high up on the bluffs of
the river, then down the long chutes,
sack after sack, and then down the
river to the railroad, where it is scat
tered east and west. Some to the
great elevators at Duluth, Minneapo-
lis, ST. Paul and Chicago, to go from
there again to the eastern states
and to Europe. Some to Seattle, Ia
coma, Everett and other western
ports and from there by steamer to
the countries of the far east, which
are beginning to appreciate American

the Pacific coast states.
Nor do they need the irrigation

fall is small, but the same amount of
moisture is not needed acre that is
necessary in other sections to pro-
duce a bountiful crop. Twelve inches
of rainfall a year is almost certain
to insure a good crop.
Wheat was just beginning to move
toward the eastern markets as / came
back down the river on the steamer
Selkirk. The great warehouses,
standing high up on the bluffs, with
long chutes reaching to the waters
edge, were pouring their contents OF
golden grain into each passing river

The fishing schooner Squantum,
Capt. William Parslow, just in from
the Grand Banks of Newfoundland
with cod, brings a strange story, says
a Lemoine (Me.) correspondent of the
Boston Journal.
Capt. David Parslow, of this port,
an ex-whaler, brother of the skipper
of the %Squantum and principal owner,
was inspecting the craft after her ar
rival and in the ~fo'castle detected
the odor of that precious product of
the sea, ambergris. He traced the edor
to a pair of sea boots belonging to one
of the crew, and upon diligent inquiry
evolved the fact that without doubt
at one time on the Squantum's last trip
a mass of ambergris worth at least
$4,000 was alongside the little old
schooner and was allowed to go adrift
because the crew were ignorant of its
value. and, furthermore, that a "sam-
pie" that had been saved, and that was
worth at least 500, had been used as
a lubricant for the boots of'one of the
crew.
James Perkins, first hand and head
splitter of the squantum, tells the fol-
lowing story:
zone night on the Virgin rocks
Bill Jason, who wa up in the bow,
sung out that there was something
drifting down on US. We thought first
it was a dead body or something, but
when it came alongside we see that
it was a junk of something as big as
a bait cask or bigger-looked like tai.

ing, and so, after Oliver Eaton had cut
out a junk, we let the stuff go adrift
again.

The route down the river is not an
easy one. The heavily-constructed
boat must take it's chances in the rap
ids and among the rocks, and now
and then a cargo of grain is emptied
into the waters of the river by an
accident that human ingenuity seems
powerless to prevent.
Wheat farming in the Big Bend
country, and, in fact, in all the Pa
cific coast states, is not the wheat
farming that is known in the eastern
states. Methods which give the very
best results in the east would often
be totally worthless in the Pacific
coast country, and consequently, ow-
ing to it's peculiar natural conditions
and resources, the Pacific coast re-
gion has a farming system peculiar
ly it's own.
One marked feature of this region
is the farming of large areas for a
single product. This is especially
true of the wheat farms, where this
cereal is raised exclusively, without
fertilization except that which is
naturally obtained by renewing the
land by the process of summer fall
lowing. In this territory no good
crops for rotation are available, and
the limited precipitation of rain pro-
hibits the planting of a fertilizing
crop.
The use of machinery of great ca
pacity, which means an economy of
human labor, but which often means
a waste of grain, is another distinc-
tive feature of this region, particu-
larly in the great valley areas of
California. Everything in the ma
chinery line has always been on a
large scale. Plows are set in gangs,
reapers and headers are built with
cutting bars of unusual length, and
every effort is made to combine sew
eral operations into one, thus en-
aiding one man to pillow and cultivate
the greatest possible area of land
with as many horses as ne can con
troll. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

toned to the peculiarities of the
country than do the hills. Both are
covered with brown sage brush and
bunch grass.
But here and there the possibilities
of the country are shown by some
enterprising farmer who has placed
a water wheel in the river and in this
way pumps water onto the tablelands
beside the stream. 1t is an economi-
cal method of irrigation, and one pc
culiar to this section of the country,
where the swift current of the Co.
lumbia furnishes the power to work
the wheel as well as the water to
moisten the ground above. When this
has been done these tablelands of the
Columbia become veritable agricul-
tural p%aradises. Crops of all kinds
flourish upon them, and the orchards
are the wonder of every visitor.

"There is something rather curious
to me about the distances that men
may fall without getting hurt" OBJ
served a New Orleans contractor, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"but it is not always the case that
a drunken man can fall further than
other men without getting bruised up
IT killed. In my own experience in
construction work I have observed a
few instances where perfectly sober
men have fallen great distances with
out getting hurt. OF course, as q
general thing a man whose muscles
are thoroughly relaxed on account of
the influence of liquor is less liable to
injury than the sober man, who will
make all kinds of efforts to catch
himself, and who will in this way en-
danger his limbs by making them
rigid and stiff.
"But l recall the case of a man who
was working on a building with me
several years ago, and at the time he
was engaged on the fifth story. He
was working in one of the windows
in the side of the building. In some
way he lost his balance and went
head over heels down the side of the
building toward the sidewalk The
sight made me sick and I vas actual
ly afraid to look on the sidewalk be-
low, because I felt certain that my
friend had been mashed into a pulp
by the long fall. We got down to the
ground as soon as possible. 1 was
surprised when 1 failed to see my
friend. He had not stopped on the
sidewalk, but went crashing into the
cellar. 1 rushed into the cellar, and
you can imagine the surprise I felt
when / met my friend with a smile on
his face and making his way to the
short dumpy steps that led up out of
the cellar. I asked him if he was not
hurt, and he replied that the fall
jolted him a little and that his blood
chilled somewhat while he was going
through the air but he was not hurt.
He had struck an iron CRATE that
worked rather easily on it's hinges,
and this apparatus allowed him to
slide with ease into the basement,
and it was this simple device that
saved his life. He was perfectly So
Der at the time, too.
"But now mark what happened to
another friend of mine while he was
under the influence of whisky. He
was not drunk, but he was in that
condition called comfortably full. He
was walking along a sidewalk that
was as smooth and eve as any I ever
saw. For some unaccountable reason
he fell. His head hit first, and it
struck in a way that threw him over
on his back. The turn was sudden,
spasmodic and seemed to have been
caused by a muscular relaxation He
never regained consciousness. His
skull was fractured badly, and he died
in a few hours. These things go to
show that it is not so much a ques-
ton of how far a man falls. How a
fellow hits seems to be far more i'm
portant than the matter of distance
