Scenic Attraction 10 PuII TraIn..

The Great Northern is preparing
to investigate the possibility of util-
izing Snoqualmie Falls, the greatest
scenic attraction in the State Of
Washington, for pulling its trains be-
tween Seattle and the summit of the
Cascade range.
The Northern Pacific road is also
considering the falls as a source Of
power for running its trains from
Portland and Seattle to the summit
of the Cascades.
President Hill has decided that
electricity shall be the motive pow
er through the Cascade tunnel. and
if feasible, from the summit of the
Cascades to the western terminals.
The falls have a total Of 100, 600
horsepower. Only 10000 OF this is
now in use. The falls are 2S0 feet
high and at present they supply the
power for the street railways, -four.
ing mills and factories of Seattle.

Journal of one Of our volunteer war
riors who had his home in a small town

had been chosen to command the local

containing these was sent to the camp.
but no acknowledgment of its receipt
was returned, so the good ladies tele-
graphed:

mas last week"
Now the captain had been sitting up
with the boys the night before, and
when the dispatch was handed him he
was trying to reduce a swollen head
with a wet towel. and his mind was
somewhat confused. SO the ladies OF
the relief society were astonished by
the receipt Of this dispatch:

Paeihe's Trade Supreme.

A writer in the Monthly Review
sometime ago drew attention to the
statement that supremacy in trade
was passing from the Atlantic to the
Pacific ocean, at least that the rela-
tive Importance of the latter was SUI
to increase. A writer in the New
York World points out that there are
800, 900, 900 people in Asia, Africa, Aus
tralia and the Pacific archipelagoes,
and his expectation is that the Amer
lean countries will obtain the larger
share of their trade. So far as China
japan and Asiatic Russia are concern
ed the United States and Canada are
certainly in an advantageous position
for trade, the route across the Pacific
being better than any Of those availa-
bic for European countries.
Half the steam merchant vessels
now under construction in the United
States are for the Pacific, and at
tempts are being made to shorten the
voyage by the building of very pow
erful vessels. The development OF
China will be one of the most import
ant elements in the trade of the Pa
cihc. II Cinnamon were to increase
their consumption of foreign goods to
the extent of IS a head, the amount
would be nearly as great as the
whole Of the present trade Of the
United States.

At the request Of the Earl Fruit
Messrs. Stilwell and Glad
ding, chemists to the New York Pro-
duce Exchange, have made an anal
ysis of this years California lemon
crop. 1t is almost a year since a
similar analysis was made, showing
the comparative merits of California
and Italian lemons, the result being
much discussed on account Of the
favorable showing made by the Cali
fornia product. The growers in Cal
ifornia have been making every eff
fort to bring their fruit to a still
higher degree of perfection, by scien-
tifc methods of cultivation, and, Is
compared with the test made last
November, this years analysis is
even more favorable.
The percentage Of waste matter,
consisting OF pulp, seeds and rind
last year was GA per cent; this year
it is 1855 per cent, according to the
last analysis. The percentage Of
Juice was SO per cent. The citric
acid, equivalent to c~rystalized citric
acid last year was s.23 ounces per
United States wine gallon; this year
it is 9.21 ounces per United States
wine gallon.

Development work is now being

most important mineral properties
in the State Of Washington SO far
as adding to the states commercial
and industrial supremacy Is CON

and iron mines located in adjacent
and overlapping claims on the divide
between Cowlitz and Lewis counties
and about sixty miles southwest of

some 700 or 5000 acres of coal lands
located under the coal land laws and

The Importance Of a discovery OF
iron ore in this state has long been
recognized by men who have made q
study Of the commercial progress
and development of the world and
many have been the efforts to find
iron in sufficient quantity and Of SUI
fcient quality to justify mining and
smelling it. AS yet none Of the re
ported discoveries has proven suf-
fciently promising TO justify the ex
penditure at this time OF the large
sum of money it would require IN or
der to properly develop the industry
on a scale commensurate with its
Importance. Several promising irol
locations have been made but little
or no development is being done OF
n Of them except as is necessary II
order to make the locations valiC
from year to year. The feature o
these properties which makes then
seem particularly promising Is tn
fact that the coal and iron deposit
l are so near to each other, thus pei
hitting the former to be used for tn
