WAS NOT THE SNAP HE EXPECTED
Tramp Finds Region Where Snow
Shoveiing Was Continuous.

Speaking about snow" said the
tramp. who was hunting for a job with
4 shovel on his shoulder. puts me in
mind of three years ago when l hired
out to farmer up in Vermont-that
IS, was TO have my board during the
winter for shoveling snow during the
winter. and / thought had struck
soft snap.
Il had nothing to do but eat and
loaf around during the first two weeks,
but one morning the farmer reused me
Up and said there was trifie of work
for me. stepped out to find the snow
four feet deep on the level and still
falling but 1 tackled the job with
proper ambition.
Il believe | lifted fifty tons of snow
that day. but when night came | was
not much ahead of the storm. 1t was
the same the next day and the next,
and after five days OF it, with no signs
OF letting UP and every rail fence
buried cut OF sight. stopped work
long enough TO ask the farmer, is this
thing going to keep right ON for a
week longer?'
"A week longer?' he replied, with a
broad grin en- his face. Why, man,
this is only Dec. 8, and we never figure
on stopping work before April 10. Just
buckle right into it and keep up your
appetite
Il thought the matter over that
night" said the tramp, and in the
morning l dug tunnel to the nearest
village and escaped and asked to be
sent to jail. They didn't turn me out
till July 1. and the first man met was
my old farmer.
"'How's snow up your way?' says |.
Nothing to brag Of says he. The
late rains and warm suns have taken it
off till | don't believe we've got two
feet left"

Pampas PIumes in California.

The growing of pampas plumes has
become an important industry in Cali
fornia When they are cut day or
so suffices to dry the plumes, and at
such times the ground appears, from
the hills, TO be covered with snow.
After the drying the plumes are taken
to the curing house and then finally
sorted into various grades by expert
hands. The finest and most beauti-
full plumes are about thirty-six inches
long, and they are packed for ship
ment either in packages of 1000 or in
large cases, the prices ranging from
5000 to $50 a thousaid, according to
the demand. There are numerous
pampas orchards in California rang
ing in their productive quality from
5000 hills, which produce 100000
plumes, down to the small ranches
where but few are raised. In all.
California produces about 100000
plumes year. which are sent all over
this country and Europe.

NATURE PROVIDES ICE HOUSE

the crop is net ripe until the middle

the fru!;-e2tiag birds had 10 wait until
1t vas ripe they would starve in the
meantime. n they arrive On the very
day OF The melting of the snow.
Bit each year the snow descends
on an immense crop of ripe fruit be-
fore the birds have time % gather it.
1t is thus preserved perfectly fresh
and pure. and the melting of the snow
discloses the bushes, with the uncon-
sumed last years crop hanging on
the ground.
The frozen meal stretches across
the breadth OF northern Asia. 1t never
decays and is accessible the moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world
the mosquito swarms on the tundra.
No European can live there without a
veil after the snow melts. The gun
barrels are black with them and clods
of them often obscure the sight.
Thus the insect eating birds have
only to open their mouths to fill them
with mosquitoes, and thus the pres
ence CT swarms of cliff CHATS. pipis
and the wagtails IN this arctic region
is accounted for.

The N. P. surveyors have
completed their work of laying
out the new stock yards and tracks
at Sites, and it is expected that
the work of constructing the new
depot, ground house, freight
house, and stock sheds will be
commenced at once, or as soon
as the material can be procured.
The depot will be similar to that
at Lewiston and Moscow and

the stock sheds will be much larger,

The railroad track will be Ok tended

mile into the Indian orchard and

with stalls for several engines, is

improvements for growing Sites.

Manila, Nov. 22.--Silver has suf-
fered further decline in value.
The government has issued pro-
clamation making the official rate
$3.50 for 81 gold. American trade
is going to China and the losses
In silver are seriously affecting the
insular treasury and business in
terests genenerally. The rapidly
changing rates emharrass the bust
ness houses, making it almost i'm
possible to fix prices. The native
officials are beginning to petition
for the payment OF their salaries in
gold and the demand for a fixed
stable currency is universal.
Chicago, Noy, 25.-General traf-
6c officials of the Central Freight
association lines met here today
and took formal action for putting
into effect the advance in freight
rates ordered at the joint meetipg
OF the executive officers of the
trunk lines last week. The new
rates will go into effect on Decem.
Der 8. The advance in grain and

pounds and 5 cents on provisions
Rates on coal, iron, cement and
other special commodities will go
up from 10 to 35 per cent. No
changes have been made in class
rates, but the classification has
been revised SO as to make the
class rates on many articles con-
siderably higher.
E. A. Bryant, president of
the Washington Agricultural
college, says 100 pounds of potatoes
cannot be turned into 81 worth of
pork, even at the present high
price of hogs. Only about one.
fifth or one-sixth the amount of
meat can be gotten out of a given
amount of potatoes that can be got
ten out of the same weight of wheat
or barley ground. The cooking
perhaps helps the feed, but the
cooking Of the wheat does not
inoreae its feeding value as has
deem repeatedly demonstrated.
The grinding of the wheat does.
Potatoes can be fed as part of
ration at 20 to % cents per
hundred, but cannot be proftablv
fed at all at 81 per hundred,
unless the price of hogs should in
crease abnormally.

Wheat commands the highest
price paid in the San Francisco
market in the past four years, due
TO sharp demand from Australis.
1t is becoming more apparent each
