A WILD APPLE.
BY JOHN MCCARTHY PLEAsANTs.

Fool that ] am! for a blind
Longing drifts into my mind
To share, like hungry child,
His apple wild!
just fer a space to escape
From the human aspect and shape,
And, creature hairy and slim,
Commune with him! =,
All, to turn backward the page,
This hour, to the Golden Age!
To speak to him, touch him, and be
Sinless as he!
All, but to drop for a while
All life's pretences and its guile
It's heartache of loss, and its vain
Triumph OF gain!
Here in the wood to be freed,
This hour, from all envy and greed,
And, couched in the grasses dried,
Rest satisfied
Youths Companion.

A method of producing soft zinc has
been patented in Europe. Equal parts
of zinc and aluminium are melted, to
which small amount Of bismuth Is
added. This alloy is added to molten
zinc until volatlzation ceases. The
zine is heated to a5 tePRfyfee es Far. it
Is Stated that the soft zinc so produced
is of ninety per cent. purity.

Baptist preacher, and still in active SER
vice. observed the eighty-sixth anniversary
OF his birth Tuesday, at the residence OF
Frank II. Graves OF as Bridge street, North
Weymouth, where be has made ms nome

sNr Tilson. who is a native of Yer
mont, was born in Randolph February 10,
1915. and was one OF the family of nine
children of Josiah and Rhoda BARR III
son. His early education was received IN
in the schools OF his native town. lie
graduated when quite young from the
Randolph academy, and at the age OF
seventeen, commenced to teach school.
After teaching in his home town for a
short time ne secured a position as teacher
in the schools of Randolph, Mass, being
afterwards transferred to Milton, where
he taught until 1874. While teaching
school. he prepared himself for college,
and in 1914 entered Columbian college at
Washington, d. c., graduating from that
institution with honors in 1913. During
his college course in Washington, he sup
piled various pulpits in the city and once
preached before President Buchanan IN
The Presby terrain church which the presi-
dent attended.
"After leaving Washington, Mr.. Tilson
studied for some time under private m
structors. He afterwards entered the
Newton Theological school, graduating
from there in the class Of 1851. In Noyem-
Der of that year he was called to the First
Baptist church OF bingham. He accepted
the call and remained there for a quarter
of a century. In the Hinghams and the
adjoining towns, he was often referred to
as Fr. Tilson. During his pastorate IN
bingham, he devoted some time to agri-
cultural pursuits and at one time he had
in his orchard. twenty-five varieties OF
pear trees, which received his personal at
tention.
aFrom bingham, Mr.. Tilson travelled
about the state for two years as mission
ary and then accepted call to Northboro,
where he remained three years. After

two children, both of whom died IN IN
{ fancy.
last Sunday, Mr.. Tilson preached two
sermons without reference to manuscript
and without being Obliged to use glasses
in his readings.
Il tuesdays celebration, altho' an IN
4 formal one. was none the less enloyable,
and many friends and former parishioners
called to congratulate Mr.. Tilson, and IN
many cases to leave tokens OF esteem.

Catalogue of klmban Public Library

The new catalogue of the library has
Just been issued and IS finely illustrated
volume worthy of preservation aside from
its daily usefulness as a guide to the books
in the library. The edition consists OF
five hundred copies and is well printed on
good paper with one exterior and two IN
terror views, besides a ground plan OF the
library and a fine likeness OF Col. himban.
II also contains a brief history OF the
library and a short sketch of the donor OF
the building. The book has cost zoo. IL
was Col. Kimball's desire to have such a
catalogue and he offered, with his usual
generosity, to defray the expense of the
printing and binding. Since his death his
family has authorized the trustees TO go on
with the work and the payment of the bill
by them is further donation to the town
which will be appreciated.
Two hundred of the catalogues are
bound in strong paper covers and three
hundred in cloth. They will be on sale at
the library and at the branch Libraries and
viii be sold for less than half the cost OF
publication. The proceeds will be used IN
the purchase OF more books.

WILL HAVE HEARING
TITLES TO NORTHERN PACIFIC
LANDS ARE INVOLVED.
Interests Settlers Who Lost Their
Lands Through Wilcox VS.. East
ern Oregon Land Co.

The United States land Office has
given notice of hearing on September
8 for all the settlers who lost their lands
and improvements as result Of the
United States supreme court decision of
Wilcox VS.. Eastern Oregon Land Co.
The lane lost by the settlers was origin
ally in the limits Of the Northern Pa
citic railway company. and was claimed
by that company. By the act Of con-
gress September 20, 1890, this land was
taken from the railroad company and
thrown open to settlement 1t was at
the time that the lands of Sherman
county were first coming to the front as
wheat lands and the lands thus thrown
open were at once homesteaded, and
most of the settlers at once put up valu-
able improvements on the land.
BY the decision of the supreme court
in the case of Wilcox VS.. the Eastern
Oregon Land Co., the settlers were dis
possessed and the land given to the
Eastern Oregon Land Co., which was
the successor in interest of The Dalles
Military Road company. Several hun
dred Of the claimants lost their lands
and since that time strong effort has
been made to secure compensation from
the government for the loss of the lands
and the improvements.

Kamimura's Victory.
Toxic, Aug. Is. Additional details of
Kamimura's defeat of the Vladivostok
squadron reached here today He met
the Russians 20 miles from Ulsan at 5
o'clock Saturday morning. The Japan
ese fleet rushed in to battle The fight
ing was continuous until 1890, when it
was seen that the Rurik was in trouble.
She settled by the stern, slowly disap-
pearing. the prov being the last portion
visible. The Rossia and the Gromboi
took fight and escaped.
Several times during the action the
Rossia and Gromboi were afire from the
Japanese shells, but the Russians mas
tered the flames.
Both boats were heavily damaged.
Smallboats from the Japanese squadron
saved 450 of the Rurik's crew. Three
hundred of the crew we're killed or
drowned, while but two Japanese sailors
we're killed and seven wounded. Only
one Japanese ship was hit.
Second Sea Fight Raging.
Washington, Aug. is. A report has
been received at the state department
that another naval battle is 10 progress
off Port Arthur. The Russian warships
were driven back after the late battle
and made anothe dash for liberty early
this morning. The remnant of Togo's
feet which was on guard, intercepted
| them.
Control Port Arthur.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
| yards at Port Arthur, and, in view Of
this fact, it would seem to be impossi-
BILE to again make seaworthy or fight
able the four Russian battleships which
have returned to Port Arthur. 1t is
/ probable the Russian battleship Czare
witch will disarm at Tsingchou. The
best possible naval force that Russii
can now concentrate at Vladivostok il
four cruisers.

MOUNTAIN HAY CROP
MOST OF 1T rs BALED AND
READY FOR MARKET.
Stored in Hay Barns It Is Safe From
Bad Weather Mountain
Wheat Is Good

The results from this seasons crops
will doubtless prove equally as good to
the mountain rancher as to his bro
ther farmer In the valley. An excep-
tionally fine crop of timothy hay was
harvested on the mountain farms this
season, most Of which is already 10 the
bale waiting for market
Nearly every mountain ranch now
has large hay barn numbered among
its other buildings, and when the hay is
pressed in the baling machine it is
stored in these large barns, where it is
safe from damage by storms.
The mountain wheat crop is above the
average this year and for the most part
is in the shock, having been cut with
binders, the principal machine used in
cutting grain in that locality. The alb
sence of threshing machines is noted and
the highland farmer is becoming fearful
lest the rains come before he can get his
grain threshed.
Potato fields look we'll and their yield
promises to be much larger than the
crop of last year. The acreage is large.
A few fields of corn are noticeable from
the road, but as rule the stand is ap-
parently poor.

$4,000 FEET OF PIPE.

Men Work Day and Night on the Elec-
trio Power Plant.
Rather more than one-tenth of the 25,-
coo feet Of pipe line, connecting the dam
up the river with the reservoir, has been
completed. Grading work has been
done for much greater distance, and it
is intended soon to have several gangs
working on different sections of the line
at once, in order that speed in building
it may be increased. The present rate
is about 100 feet per day
Several gangs, numbering 10 to 40
men, are at work continuously at differ
ent sections Of the line, blasting out
rock from the face of sheer precipices
and building trestles across deep rayines
making ready the way for the sinuous
pipeline, whose grades and curves are
estimated with as much care as those
of railroad. Sunday and every day,
by the light of gasoline torches at night,
or that of the burning hot sun by day,
the work progresses, the only thing to
retard it being an occasional scarcity Of
laborers or material.
