The Portland Oregonian observes
that "ships for the Philippines can be
cleared from the Columbia river just as

doubtless true as to vessels which are
not too large to "clear" the Columbia

The Seattle Times makes the prob.
ably exaggerated statement that
''enough money will he received by
the farmers of Washington for their
grain crops this year to discharge every
mortgage which has been executed in
this great commonwealth since its ad.
mission to the Union. A wheat crop
alone that is worth $l2,SOO,OOO is
enough to make farmers brag any.
WHERE" In view of its periodical pre-.
dictions Of direful calamities in store
for farmers in the event of Republican
successes at the polls in national and
state elections it would seem that the
Times would refrain from calling ed.
itorial attention to striking evidences
Of agricultural prosperity. But the
Times Is not easily Inundated.

ter She would have tried again had her
torn, bleeding fingers not been deprived
Of strength To prevent herself from
drowning she cIung TO several projecting
moss-covered rocks. AT last her fingers
grew cramped and she thought she would
drown. Then Henry Marquette, neigh
Dor. who had come for water, peered into
the well and dimIy saw the girl
She said she was about to sink. He told
her TO hold on for a few seconds. He
dropped a rope with a moose in it. telling
her to slip il under her arms. The girl,
with great effort, placed the moose where
she was directed. In doing SO she had to
relax her grip on the rocks, whcTeupon
she sank. Marquette felt the rope grow
taut- and realizing what had occurred he
pulled hard and drew the haIf-drowned
girls head above water and shortly after
ward she was pulled from the well and
TeSUSCitated.
She said she had gone to the well for

Slipped and fell When she went under
