England has another war On her
hands. She IS making preparations to
reconqucr the island whose inhabitants
have a King OF their own and who re-
fuse to pay tribute to King Edward
By a strange popularity of fate it is
known as Tory Island 1t is a bleak,
desolate strip Of land nine miles from
the storm-swept northwest coast of
ireland, and contains a population Of
about 500, who have their own Ian
guage, their own Government ana
their own costumes, as well as their
own King.
Being in their own opinion free
and independent people, they refuse to
pay taxes to England or rent to the
landlord In fact, they have paid
neither rent nor taxes for half a CEN
tury. That is why England detailed
a sunboat to visit the island and help
a regiment Of Irish constabulary evict
the obstinate Inhabitants.
1t will not be the first time that an
expedition has been sent against the
Tory Islanders. Seventeen years ago
England decided that a separate Gov
eminent on Tory Island could not be
tolerated, and the gunboat Wasp was
sent to uphold the majesty of the
Crown. But the Wasp was wrecked
on the treacherous southwest coast,
and all her crew were drowned. Tory
islanders regarded the disaster as an
intervention of Providence, and gave
thanks accordingly to their patron
saint, st. Columbia
The King OF Tory Island is a be-
whiskered, unconventional individual
and very prehistoric, but he has re-
sisted the British Empire successfully
for many years, and his people have a
fine disregard for everything English
The present King is a giant in size
His name is Mclaughlin. So strong
is King Mclaughlin that he can Kill
an OK with his fist, according to pOpu-
lar report.
The Tory Islanders are chiefly fisher
men. A Sligo steamer calls once a
week to bear away their catch There
no cats and no rats on Tory Island.
Nor are there any policemen or pawn
shops. But the Islanders have pub
lie house, or hotel.
According to tradition, the island was
once inhabited by a race of giants
One Of the giants erected a tower on
the island, which stands to-day in a
fair state Of preservation It is built
Of undressed powders, with walls four
feet thick at the base
Tourists seldom visit Tory Island OW-
Ing to the unconventional actions Of the
natives. The latter resent intrusion
from the outside word. A favorite
trick Of the fishermen is to run along
side a steamer or sailing vessel and
ask the lookout TO heavc them a rope.
When a rope is thrown the fisherman
hauls in as much of it as he can and
then cuts the line. In this way the
fishing fleet is kept supplied with rope
at a minimum cost. The Tory Island
ers are evidently healthy race, FOL
there is no doctor on the island.

Tuesday of last week w. A. LuZader,
a newspaper man of Normal, Illinois,
was shown Hood River, both west and
east sides, by real estate firm. Mr.
Luzader is interested IN horticulture
and left this section impressed with
the fact that Hood River is the very
hest producing section of the North
west He is in position to do this
country much good and will do so.
Mrs. John SummervilIe, sister of
Troy Shelley spent one day here last
week. She was wonderfully impressed
with the picturesque scenery and de-
lightful climate of East Hood River
valley.
Mr.. and Mrs Guy Talmage and Miss
Marguerite Shelley returned to Port

The White Collar line, operating steam
ers Bailey Gatzert, Metako, and Taho-
ma, have Just completed sending out
10000 of their clabOrately arranged and
artstically printed souvenir pamphlet
"Up the Columbia" The pamphlet is
one of the finest ever devoted to the
beautiful scenes of the Columbia river,
and will do much toward advertising
the state to tourists travelling through
the states. In reference to the trip up
the river the author truthfully says:
Perhaps you have steamed beneath
the palisades on the Hudson, or wound
in and ont among the Thousand Islands
OF the st. Lawrence. But il you have
not been borne on the broad bosom of
the Columbia, watched from the deck of
the boat the ever-changing pictures
made by five of the most majestic snow
capped mountains on the continent
whirled through the swiitest waters that
are nayigated on the globe, and seen the
clouds lying scarce half way up to the
tops of the SUBMITS that border the riy-
er, You have not enjoyed the grandest
spectacle that American scenery has 10
afford. Other lands have been grandlv
and impressively fashioned, but no
where has nature combined rugged
beauty with pastoral picturesqueness,
lofty snow peaks with stretches of rip
pling sun!it water, and lacy waterfalls
with weather-searred and beetling cliffs
As in this wonderland OF the Northwest. -
The pamphlets have been mailed not
only to points in the states, but many
have found their way to Europe and the
Orient, whence travellers not seldom set
their COURSE for the Pacific coast.

The InM Of Real Estate.

The following is taken from an old
copy of "The South Carolina and Geor-
gia Almanack for the Year of Our Lord
1865"
First see the land which thou intendest
to buy
Within the sellers title clear does lie;
And that 10 woman to it does lay claim,
By dowry, ibinture or some other name
That may it cumber. Know if bound or
The tenure stands, and that from each
feoffee
1t be released. That the seller be so old
That he may lawful sell, then lawful hold.
Have special care that it not mortgaged
be,
Nor be entailed on posterity.
Then if it stand in statute bound or no,
Be well advised what quit rent on it
must 60,
What custom-service has been done OF
old
BY those who formerly the same did
hold.
And If welded woman put to sale,
Deal not with her unless she brings her
males
For she doth under covert baron go,
Although sometimes some also traffic so.
Thy bargain being made, and all this
done,
Have special care to make thy charter
To thee, thine heirs, executors, assigns I;
For that beyond thy life securely binds.
These things foreknown and done, you
may avoid
Thos9 things which buyers often do re-
pent;
And yet, when you have done all you
can,
If you'd be sure, deal with an honest
man.

WalIa Walla, Wash, Aug. 80, 1902
Editor Glacier: | arrived here at 4. q. m.
After three hours rest | found my
old friend Charles Nye. He is doing
good business in harness and saddlery.
/ am having very pleasant visit.
This is fine old town. 1t has shade
trees more generally than any West
ern town | ever saw. The population
of the city is about 10000. All branches
Of trade are well represented. Crops
are good generally, and the valley
grows nearly everything to perfection
except tree fruit; that is grown in the
foothills east of the valley. The gov
ernment. has two companies of modern
artillery stationed here. The old fort
is now within or near the city limits.
The town is about one mile square.
The horticultural building Is nearly
completed. / have been looking at
the fruit. There are some fine speci-
mems, but some are very poor.
Dayton, Wash, Aug 30,-I arrived
here this morning and was met by my
friend Since writing you last even
ing was given chance to see all of
Walla WalIa. 1t is delightful town,
with its colleges, schools and churches,
thousands of shade trees and beautiful
homes, The country between Walla
Walla and Dayton is a rolling prairie.
Wheat is the main crop, but along the
Touchet river are fine berry patches
and orchards Met an old pioneer of
'5S-Dr. B. f. Fathers He was a
packer for l3 years along the British
line to all of the early mining camps.
In the winter of 1852 he was lost in a
snow storm; he lost all of his pack
train, and only for finding dead horse
that had been frozen he and his part
ner would have starved to death. The
only wagon road in this section at that
time was the government road from
Fort Benton, on the Missouri river, to
Fort Walla Walla. He now has fine
3000-acre ranch adjoining the town of
Prescott and 800 head of hogs Oh his
stubble field. Hisland is worth $50 an
ucre, The wife of this old pioneer is
now visiting friends in Hood River.
The government road was built by
Captain Mullen of the regular army.
The rapid development of the country
has surprised the pioneers. All sup
plies were brought from Oregon. 1t
cost 20 cents a pound for freight from
Umalilla to Lewiston, Idaho.

The RnIl Does All the Work.

In the Philadelphia North American
is illustrated the following article show-
ing Guernsey bull at work OH tread
mill which runs dozen different ma
chimes Oh farm in New Jersey. Asa
Moore, owner of this farm, is a brother
of G. ID. Moore Of White Salmon, the
we'll known early strawberry grower
and market gardener;
Mullica Hill, New Jersey. IF there
is one animal on the Locust Grove
stock farm, near here, owned by Asa
Moore, that 'earls It's keep ii is g.
year-0ld bull, one of the finest speci-
mems in the entire county.
On the Locust Grove farm there are
about twenty full-blooded Guernsey
cows, and the milk these animals give
is daily turned into butter and cheese
by power furnished by the bull. To
operate such dairy as that conducted
by Mr. Moore wonld require too much
manual labor, and he conceived the
idea of making the bull assist in the
work.
On the second floor of one of his
barns Mr.. Moore has placed tread
mill, On the ground floor are stalls
for he cows, and imam adjoining build
ing is the dairy While the cows are
being MIXED, the bull is led up flight
Of stairs and placed on the mill, and by
The time he is placed in position the
milk is ready for separator, which
makes 1000 revolutions minute.
The cream and butter fat are quickly
separated, and the skinned milk is
given to the pigs within ten minutes
from the time it is taken from the cows.
The entire process requires about TWEEN.
ty minutes, both morning and devening.
While this is going on the milkers
are being famed on warm days by the
same power, fan being placed in each
stall.
From the same mill, worked by the
bull, pumps are worked, feed grinders
aud corn sbeller operated, and
grindstone is turned to sharpen the
knives Of cutting machinery. The
bull does it all.
In the wash house, in which the
family Laundry is done, the same power
runs the washing machine, and two
large fans are kept going at the same
time. An immense churn is also OPP
Grated.
On the days when the wash is done
it is noticeable that the animal goes to
the mill with much reluctance, for the
reason, it is thought, that this process
requires more time than the milking
operation, aud the bull knows it.
In raining the bull much patience
was required, and it was only by kind
ness to the animal that Mr.. MOore's
efforts Were successful. A large ring
passes through the animals nose, and
with this aud a rope the bull is man
aged 1t does the work of two or three
horses, and, according to its owner, is
more useful than an electric plaht,
while much less expensive.

Is reported as furnishing notes for u
newspaper item about as follows:
"Fruitraisers do well right along In the
Hood River valley, aud Sl25 is not too
high an average to place the earnings
of strawberry acres year after year
One man who had 20 acres of apples
last year, sold the crop for $4,000. This
of course is an extreme case, but all the
apple men are doing well. The secret
Of the success of the Hood River or
chardists lies in the care they take of
their trees They spray them four
times a year, and so the apples are free
of worms The berries, too, are taken
care of, and the manner of their eulti-
vation is up to date. The Hood River
strawberry is, therefore. an exceptions
ally good shipper, and has attained q
foothod in the markets of Washington,
Idaho aud Montana, where people do
not hesitate to pay a good price for
them

Many Willing TO Marry.

The management of the Portland
carnival has had not less than dozen
applications from as many young men
throughout the state, including one or
two from near by towns in Washing
ton, to be married under the auspices
of the carnival. Half of these applica-
tiOns have had to be turned down be-
cause the directors could not take care
of all of them and provide entertain
HIent and the usual supply of presents
to start the young couples off in life
happily, The notices given by the
manager that swains without the price
should he set up in housekeeping at the
companys expense was sufficient to
start rush of applications that fairly
took their breath away. There will be
a triple wedding ceremony on Wednes-
day, September 10, at the carnival, in
'he presence of the queen and her court
aud many high dignitaries The pres
ents for each couple aggregate from
S400 To $500.
