The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-01-07

Ketchikan, Alaska, Correspondence:
Frontier life lost none of Its flavor
when the trail of the American pioneer
swerved from the West to the North.
The fortune hunter lost none Of the
perils Of his calling when he aban-
doned the train Of the setting sun to
go In pursuit of the north star. But
he pays no more heed to the menace
Of the arctic than he did to the vicis-
situdes Of the desert. He follows each
stream as long as its sands will show
color Of gold, and the Goals of his camp
fire are hardly dead before there is a
town site where he pitched his tent.
The way is hard on account of natures
resistance to his encroachments upon
her domain, but the result is always
the same-he trlumphs and goes bold
ly onward. Everything in this world
has Its price and the gold-huntlng men
of the North must pay in some coin for
the privilege of the trail.
The loose way in which fortune
fiings her favors is unaccountable. One
night some bunko men of the gold
fields sold a tenderfoot an old claim
that was supposed to be worthless.
The knowing ones said they would not
have it as gift. When the raw East
erner took possession of his property
he was the butt of many jokes. How
ever, the swindlers and the jokers soon
laughed out of the other corner of
their mouths, for their dupe began TAX
ing such quantities of dust out of the
abandoned claim that 1t soon turned
out to be bonanza. Up to this time
1t has paid him nearly $300,O00

The saItiest of SALE Lakes.

Probably the most remarkable lake
In the world is one with a coating Of
salt that completely conceals the wa
ter. 1t may be seen at any time dur
ing the year, fully exposed, being even
at its best when the sun Is shining
directly upon it.
This wonderful body of water is one
of the saltiest of the salt lakes, and is
situated near 0bdorsk. Siberia. The
lake is nine miles wide and seventeen
long, and within the memory of man
was not entirely rooted over by the
salt deposit Originally evaporation
played the most important part in
coating the lake over with salt. but
at the present time the salt springs
which surround 1t are adding fast to
the thickness Of the crust.
In 1878 the lake found an under
ground outlet into the River Obi,
which lowered its surface about three
feet. The salt crust was so thick.
however. that It retained its own level,
and now presents the curious spectacle
of a salt-rOofed lake.

DAIRY SCHOOL ON WHEELS.

Woman Makes a Success of n Unique
Butter Making Enterprise.
A travelling dairy school, conducted
by woman, was one of the rural feat.
ures during last summer in Nova Sco-
tia, that ancient land of Evangeline.
Miss Laura Rose, a graduate Of an
agricultural college, is in charge Of the
school, and great success, 1t is reported,
has attended her efforts to teach farm
ers' wives how to improve the quality
of their butter. Every farmers wife
who can possibly do so attends 1t when
it stops in her neighborhood, and an
officer Of a local agricultural society
said that Miss Rose did more in a two
days visit to his part of the country
than could have been effected by years
of incessant writing in agricultural pa
pers, instructions from butter dealers
and public lectures.
Miss Rose travels with her dairy in
big covered wagon, taking with her
from town to town a couple of churns,
a separator, a butter worker, a milk
tester, tinware, salt, butter color and,
in fact, everything which is necessary
for the manufacture of first-class but.

having withdrawn, he set himself to his
coal-fre studies once more. The instruc-
tions which he had given had suftlced
to turn the current of his ideas, and the
adventure of the night passed away from
his mind with the deeper thoughts that
followed it,
"And return" he said, and laughed to
himself more than once--and odd laughs
they were, of various degrees of hilarity,
from the hearty and unaffected TO the
laugh with the inner ring in it, the un-
dercurrent, as it were, of something

might have been interpreted into a lurk.

esting circumstances
He had made up his mind to solve the
riddle quickly for himself, and at ten in
the morning he was standing in front of
Mr.. Muddleton's Hotel drawing on pair
of gloves and critically inspecting the
animal which the proprietor had harness

ed up and down the street, and thought
of his little adventure in Worcester last
night. The waiter, not too busy, was
standing at the door, interested in the
temporary departure of the customer,
and Reuben turned to him.

''If any one should call about helping
me with the portmanteau last night, give

call again." added Reuben Culwick, as he
sprang into the trap and drove off.
"Give him half a crown and ask her
to call again." said the waiter, looking
after him. HE doesn't know what he's
saying. The old man at Sedge Hill will
never make him out. A regular Culwick
he is, and no mistake about it."

DAY, MORE OR LESS.
Crossing the international Date Line
In the Pacific Ocean.

Crossing the international Date Lima
In the Pacific Ocean.
Few incidents of a trip to the Phil
ippine Islands, which SO many Ameri-
cans now have occasion to make, are
more interesting than the crossing Of
the international date line, that imag-
mary boundary where, in going west
ward, a day is dropped from the calan-
dar, and In going eastward one is AIDED.
A California Congressman and his wife
happened to reach it, on the outward
trip, at midnight of July 8, so that they
woke up to find the next morning the
9th, and that they had lost the ma
tional holiday for the first time In
their lives. To have a September 23
for two days in succession on their
return would, on grounds of sentiment,
be an insufficient compensation.
The teachers who go out on the
transports to the Philippines usually
arrange elaborate entertainments to
signallze the date line. One of their
number is often dressed up as Nep-
tune, and other characters follow In a
procession around the deck. The fes-
tivities are made as fanciful as the
resources and ingenuity of the party
permit. Sailors on merchantmen as
well as passengers on the fast mail
steamers are accustomed to observe
the day with some celebration.
One Of the old governors of Massa-
chusetts, on being asked to speak at a
State normal school which he was Wis
iting, submitted this conundrum.
would a person who had Travelled
around the world 365 times in an east
early direction be year older than
the records in the family Bible show
ed? If not, why nOt?" The governor
explained that such a traveller would
actually have lived one day more for
each trip than the calendar showed as
having passed.
In practice, the length of the trip
around the world is such as to dlscour-
age most people from adding to their
days by this roundabout process. Tray.
elers between New York and Chicago
are constantly having days of twenty
three or of twenty-five hours, accord
ing to the direction in which they are
going.
Like the boundaries of our standard
tlme-belts on this continent, the inter-
national date line has been So drawn
as to occasion the least possible lncon-
venlence. 1t devlates from the one

Teh scapegoat son Of down East
preacher drifted into the Klondike to
make a new try at life. He had
sown enough wild oats where he came
from to make a bountiful crop of re-
morse, and 1t would seem that one
who had played SO hard and fast with
good opportunities would hardly be en-
titled to hit upon the best claim in
a thousand. But he did, He took the
precious stuff out at rate that was
astonishing and broke the record for
riotous living. His good resolves
couldn't stand prosperity.
Many who are we'll schooled in the
craft of hunting gold may stumble
over it, while the uninitiated often run
right into 1t. The man who was re-
sponsible for the discovery of the rich
est fields in the North tramped over
them for years, vainly seeking his for
tune, and finally came out with hardly
enough money to pay his way home.
Before the ship reached Seattle he was
robbed of the last dollar he had in the
world. On the same boat was young
Californian who had tackled the frozen
North with less than 500 and had no
experience, who had $4,000 worth of
nuggets to show what his luck had
done for him. All signs fail in a dry
time, and no man can tell much about
the hiding place of gold.
In 1880 a French Canadian named
Joe Juneau wandered up Silver Bow
basin, the beautiful canyon back of
the town which bears his name. He
panned the first gold from a field that
has enriched the world by many mil
lions, and which will continue to con-
tribute to Its wealth for many years
to come. Juneau was one of those
fearless characters who helped to con-
1uer the wilderness. He was path
finder in the full sense of the word,
vet he died pennlless. When the news
came to Juneau that the old man was
dead in Dawson and 1t became known
that his last wish was to be buried on
the mountain overlooking the town
that was named for him the money
was quickly subscribed to bring his
body to the spot where he said he
wanted to wait for the judgment.
Idioms of the North.
The people of New England, as well
as those of Dixie, have a distinction
In their language, and so do the resi-
dents of the far North. Many words
are in use here that are not known
elsewhere. When a person arrives he
is not known as a newcomer, but is
mentioned as "chee-chowker." A pi-
Oneer is not known by that name, but
is called a ''sour dough-" Anyone who
has braved the hardships Of one winter
in the gloomy arctic can then take to
himself the honor of being a "s0ur
dough-" The word for move on" Is
'mush." This odd word of command
originated with the dog drivers. The
word "mush" is TO the Alaskan sledCe
dog what "amen" is to the trained
canine that says its prayers in the cir
cus-a signal which he understands
and acts upon, and one for whi,h he
will not accept a substitute. Although
'mush" had its origin as a word for
dogs, II grew In popularity until It be
came the generally accepted order for
anything or anybody to move on OF
get out.
The vernacular OF the cold country
has strong hold upon Its people, as
shown in the incident when couple
Of returned prospectors went into a
restaurant in SeP'tls to get Their break

New Gold Found.

Much excitement has been caused in
Australia by the announcement of the
discovery of new gold field in the
northern part Of the island. Prospect
ors are hocki to the territory as rap
idly as possible In our country the rush
for wealth is inst as much in evidence,
but in the excitement we forget to look
after our health until sickness comes,
and then it is sometimes too late. Pre-
serve your health above everything else
and then you will have far more pre-
cious treasure than all the gold in the
world. The best means of protecting
your health is to take Hostetter's Stom-
sch Bitters at the first sign of indiges
tiop, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness, liver troubles or malaria. 1t pos
itively cures these ailments. Try Q

support Your Town.

About as good a wav a- there is
for people to hold their town back
IL t" send away for everything up-
o. which a cent can he saved.
Never mind the merchants in your
own town, write to Portland or
spokane or New York and order
your goods and supplies by mail
or express. In that way you can
show your independence and keep
the home merchant down.
However, if you want credit,
why, then 60 to your home stores.
OF course they will carry you until
you can pay up. But as soon as
you get square send to some of
the cheap cash stores elsewhere
and let the men who trusted you
go to the deuce.
There is another way and bet
ter way-deal at home. Do the
Portland or Spokane or New York
merchants spend a cent in your
town? Has any of them a cent
invested there? Your home mer-
chant may, possibly does, charge a
little more than the wholesaler,
but does he not directly or indi-
rectly also patronize you? Does
not his prosperity add to the gen.
eral good of the community, and
does not the advancement of the
people collectively advance the in
dividual-you?
1t does not take sage or phi
losopher to see that in small CON-
munities we are dependent largely
upon each other, and that the best
way to succeed is to stand by each
other, and the first evidence of
our intention to do that IS to keep
our money at home.

Land Office Discusses Filings in
Oregon.

Washington, Sept. l0.-"If fraud haa
been perpetrated IN the film upon the
5000 or 5000 acres of lands recently elm
mated from the Blue Mountain forest
reserve withdrawal in Oregon, the blame
cAnnot be attached to the General Land
Cfflce," said the official il charge of
forestry matters when advised tonight
that 5000 acres of this land had been
taken with scrip, and $3.50 acres under
the timber and stone act
"The Land Office was not in favor of
restoring any of those lands to entry at
this time, for We could see that there
was demand for it from intended
homesteaders. When Governor Cham
berlain, however. wrote to tho President
urging that the reserve be created and
the surplus lands be restored to entry I,
We had specitic instructions to restore to
entry those lands which, according to
the Bureau of Forestry, we're not de-
sirable for forest reserve purposes. The
Forestry Bureau is supposed to have
examined all portions of the Blue

to the Land Office detailed statement
showing the character of each quarter
section of that vast area. We recently
restored to entry lands reported by the
Forestry Bureau to be agricultural in
character or lands less valuable for tim.
ber than for other purposes, which we
took to mean either grazing or barren
lands. From official advices in our pos.
session-and we have to rely entirely
upon the Forestry Bureau for this in.
assumed we were restor-
ing only non-timbered lands. II we
threw open lands that would attract
spectators under the timber and stone
act we did 80 unadyisedly. For this,
we can hardly be held responsible.
This official added twas not surpris.
ing that the best of those lands we're
taken up with scrip. The Forestry Bu-
reau reported some very attractive ag.
rlcultural lands lying along the several
streams, probably as good land as re-
NAMED vacant in Oregon, and the fact
it was being restored to entry after be-
ing held up under withdrawal for two
years naturally attracted the attention
of the holders of scrip. This official
went on TO say: "Governor Chamber
lain's main object in writing to the
President, as we understood at the time,
was to have the Blue Mountain reserve
created so that the state school lands
within the reserve might be converted
into base, and the state be enabled
thereby to get out of it's embarrassment
growing out of double sales of base
lands. If the Governor was a tool in
the hands of persons who have gobbled
up what would seem to be valuable
lands, we are not advised, and could not
say. But so far as the Land Office is
we are free from all blame,

lands to entry, and what lands We did
restore were selected upon the report
of the Forestry Bureau. We were COM
