DosVn the Beautiful
Columbia IN March.

A very inconsiderate thing to do, 1t
may have been, to take the Columbia
river unawares, so to speak and make
summer at such an unreasonable time
As the month of March. for az that
time she makes no in,lmation that she
Is prepared to receive visitors.
However, the trip by boat from
Portland, Oregon, to the Dalles. and
back to Portl nd then down stream
to Astoria, developed the fact that an
out-of-season trip on the magnificent
Columbia is quite as full of interest
and pleasure as during the season.
So well proportioned in stream
and mountain, stately fir, rock and
boulder that it is sometimes neces-
sary to resort to figures as to the
height, width, depth and volume of
things TO acquire an appropriate idea
Of their vastness.
At times the mountains rise sheer
out of the water and grow DINNER
and more dim in the mists till they
seem mere phantom mountains tow
ering above ragged crags, and again
they slope easily backward allowing
a cosey farm to nestle against them.
Now we are in the region of water
falls, where many streams of silvery
whiteness throw themselves recklessly
over the cliffs and hurry down the
mountain side to reach the river,
many OF them falling SO far they are
dissolved in vapor before they reach
the ground.
Presently some bits of cloud, like
the skirmish line from an army,
come reconnoitring through the tree
tops, and the mountains begin to
frown warningly. then few drops of
hail fall like bullets on the deck. But
the clouds sweep off again. and every
thing is clear as We round Castle
Rock"
This beautiful piece of masonry"
one is inclined to call it, so symmetri-
cal are its outlines, rises straight out
of the water and towers skyward 400
feet; then there is a step back, and
again it reaches upward another 400
feet. over its sides were tossing a
number of streams that fell straight
down over mosses and lichens to the
water or else lost themselves in
sweeping mists before they reached
their destination.
Farther along a ray of light breaks
through the clouds and illumines one
distant mountain top, while all the
rest remain in sullen gloom.
We are pushing now up the rapids
and past the forest where there are
so many petrified trees. Then
through the government locks that
are wonders in civil engineering and
cost the government over $4,000 900,
and which have done away with the
cumbersome portage formerly neces-
sary for inland traffic. These locks.

touch the horizon. The sea gulls
swept along ahead in great swarms.
They looked like gnats on a midsum
mer afternoon. and the heavens
spread out before us in a sort OF rain
washed smile.
From behind big. black cloud, that
seemed to have concentrated right
before it, the sun shot bright rays in
all directions, tinging some clouds
with gold, while others showed blood
red. Back of it all pale blue show

Good Food for Goldfish.

Prof. M. L. Underwood. of the MaA
sachusetts Institute of Technology, re-
ports that mosquito larve are favorite
food for goldfish. He has made many
experiments that prove the fact, and
he suggests that the introduction oi
goldfish in small bodies of water where
mosquitoes breed would be preferable
to the use OF kerosene in destroying
the pests. Goldfish, he finds. will thrive
in our natural northern waters, ant
can easily be bred in any sheltered
pool, where the water is not fed BY
too many cold springs.

Then Mr. Mckinley would grasp the

library was sent out, and during tina,
year Is libraries of so books each were
prepared for circulation. The Legis
lature of 1901 amended the law of 1899
TO read as follows:
"On the application of the officers of
any free library within the State, or of
any association composed of five or
more persons residing in town in the
State destitute of a free library, and
upon the payment in advance by said
free library or association to the State
librarian of cents per volume to cover
express and other charges, the State
librarian may, from books selected and
kept for the purpose, loan to such
library or association for a period not
longer in duration than six months. not
exceeding 80 volumes at any one time
Books SO loaned are, under such rules
as the library commissioners of the
State prescribe. to be in turn loaned to
the citizens of the town where such
association is located"
Although only the sum of $1,000 a year
is available for the purpose, there are
now 20 libraries going the round of the
State. and there are two more being
prepared which will be ready for use
in short time.
The travelling library experiment in
Maine is an experiment no longer. 1t
is complete success. Since it became
known over the State that free libraries
could be supplied any community lack.
ing one, and would be renewed every
six months. there have been many calls
for them. AS a result of their growing
popularity the next Legislature will be
asked to increase the appropriation so
that the service may be extended

The indications are that the mill of
the Augusta Lumber Co. in this city
will not start up before the middle of
May, if it does then. The reason for
this delay in beginning the seasons
work is because of the scarcity of logs.

Once in while the Governor is
asked to issue requisitiOn papers for
some person who is wanted back here
in Maine to answer to the law for
some misdemeanor. His Excellency
can do about as he pleases in such
cases. for there is no one thing in
which his powers are so autocratic as
they are in the matter of issuing
acquisitions. The rules of practice set
forth the method by which acquisitions
may be asked for, but there is nothing
in these rules to oblige the Governor
to do anything to which he may have
personal objections. AS a rule requisi-
tions are not asked for unless there is
a pressing need for the return of the
suspected person, in which case the Ex-
ecutive rarely witholds his assistance,
but once in a while there is case
where it looks as though there might
be some interest more personal than
general in the attempt to secure the
requisition. and then it sometimes
happens that the Executive exercises
his prerogative and refuses to issue the
papers.

Being Laid Waste.

Atlantic City, N. j., April D. The
beach front between Illinois and New
York avenues presents scene OF utter
ruin and desolation. OF the many fine
hotels which were situated in the dis
trict visited by the conflagration there
remain standing the unburned portion
of the Windsor hotel, at the board walk
and Illinois avenue, and the charred
framework of the Rio Grande hotel, on
New York avenue.
Between these two structures lies a
blackened waste, scarcely stick being
left to identify any one of the numer'
GUS buildings destroyed by the fire
The shell of the Academy of Music re-
mains standing, and this is notable, 40
the theater was the only brick build
ing in the burned area.
All through the night the beach, board
walk and avenues near the scene Of
the fire were patrolled by the Morris
guards and Company L Of the national
guards. During the day the soldiers
were relieved from duty, the police
force Of the city being adequate to
handle the crowds which visited the
scene of the conf1agration.
