MAJESTIC SCENERY.
FURIOUS ROCK FORMATIONS ON THE
COLUMBIA RIVER.

the Pillars OF Hercules, Two Pictur-
esque Basaltic Columns, Rise From
the Oregon Side of the Stream.
Towering Mountain Peaks.
The person who gave the name Pill
lars Of Hercules to two picturesque
basaltic columns rising from the edge
range, on the Oregon side Of the river,
chose name that was peculiarly ap-
pr0priate. One of the interesting nuts
which the biologists in this country
have had to crack has been when and
how the majestic Columbia burst
through the basaltic Cascade range and
found it's way to the foaming margin
of the Northern Pacific ocean. Who
knows if the mighty Hercules-who,
according to the ancient Greeks. when
returning from the western kingdom
Of Geryon tore asunder the European
and African continents In order that
the waters Of the Atlantic and the
Mediterranean might mingle-did not
go beyond Erythia, Geryon's island
kingdom, and perform like service
for the Columbia river? It certainly
would have been feat worthy OF his
prowess The Columbia river. after
pursuing It's placid way across the arid
wastes Of land on the eastern side OF
the Cascade range for nearly 200 miles,
approaches the stately row Of noun
tain peaks and pushes through between
the towering peaks, Mounts Hood and
Adams. After descending in boiling
cascade, from which it is said that the
range Of peaks derives its name, the
Columbia, or, as 1t has often been call
ed, the Oregon, rolls between ever
widening banks to the white bulwark
erected by the turbulent sea across its
mouth.
One with good strong arm could
throw a stone across the river at the
point where it enters the portals of
the mountains. Literally the river has
turned itself on edge In order tQj
squeeze through. Some distance be-
low this point the river pours over q
succession Of rugged lodges; then 1t
smilingly passes on its way to the sea.
The scenery in this cut through the
mountains is thought by some to rival
in sublimity that to be found any
where in the world. Pinnacles OF vol
canic rock tower toward the heavens.
On them have lodged seeds carried
thither by the wind or birds. From
these seeds trees have terminated.
These cling to the rocks with a remark
able tenacity. and some Of them, one
would think, have precarions living.
On the very summit Of one Of these
Pillars of Hercules single repre-
sentative of the evergreen trees which
abound on the western slope OF the
Cascades elevates its foliage with all
the impudent audacity and farcicai
diminutiveness of clowns stovep1D6
hat. There it stands as securely fas-
tened and its foliage as rakishly IN
clined as the hat on the clowns brow.
What depth of soil it has in which to
plant it's roots doubtless not many
know. for The ascent of the column has
probably been accomplished by few. 1t
is said that in the early days of COM
merce on the Columbia, when sailing
ships plowed their way up the stream

LAwsoN,s LET DOWN.

After one year of promise and after
eleven months Of preparation, Lawson
fullfills his agreement with the public
and publishes in the June Everybodys
Magazine "The Crime of the Amalga-
ted" It amounts to this that bids to
to the amount of $132,000,0OO worth of
stock were made by deceived public.
that the City National Bank figured
up the amount subscribed for and then
Rogers, Rockefeller ct al put in bid
for enough more millions to keep a
controlling interest, accepting enough
money Tor the stock, to repay their
original investment $39,000,000, but
thus keeping the management in their
own hands, to be for other crimes
when time and opportunity offered.
TO the most natural inference on the
part Of the readers Of the article that
the public was really benefited by not
having d. chance to buy more stock,
as subsequent operations made Sc
we're loss to all owners of said stock.
Lawson anticipates with a lame reply,
which does not in his opinion affect
the "crirne." And the reader is plain
" told that Lawson had to acquiesce
in this criminal proceeding, because
his whole money was in the deal, and
because the money power of "the sys-
tenn. was cable, of crushing him to
earth, il he showed any signs of re-
volt.
It can be said that this expose falls
Hat. Not that the statements are I'M
true, not but what such business pro-
cedure comes under the head of f1nan-
cial piracy, but because Lawson has
held the public in suspense twelve
long months, and led4them to suppose
that sthe crime Of the amalgamated,"
was something unusual. Something
worse than ordinary Wall Street tao
tics. It's bit surprising that Law
son with his dramatic instinct did not
forsee the inglorious finale. The pub
fishers OF Everybody's did discount
this tame ending of the "frenzied fl
nance articles, by already offering the
public other highly seasoned mental
food.

wonders to perform" and It's true that
In His selection of Lawson, some won
ders have been shown. The Equit-
able insurance scandal was timed per-
fectly to give credence to Lawson's
articles. The Standard Oil Co. was
nally forced, for the first time in it's
history, t., make public statement.

of all the lands and town lots in the

of all the lands and town lots In the
United States.
Such figures as these speak out loud
for the thrift, sagacity and ability to
take care of themselves shown by the
American people. No other nation
can show anywhere near such a rec
ord. In many of the older countries
profound statesmen are seriously dis
only adequate remedy for the very
general poverty and wan, prevailing
in their land, but in America the peo
pie have not waited for compulsory
laws. They have provided their fami-
lies with the protection of life insur-
ance, which pays out to dependent
heirs In every fifteen months money
enough to buy every acre of farm and
city property in state like Iowa.
Not only this but one person in every
eleven or one depnsitor for every two
families in the United States had put
away, last year, in the savings banks of
this country for rainy day provisions
sum six and one-half times the as
sessed valuation of all the lands and
town lots in the state of Iowa. Famine
may come to other countries but it
will never come to America. Stasna-
ton of industry and hard times may
throw workmen out of their jobs and
the improvident may suffer but neither
death nor famine can ever bring star
walton to the vast majority of Ameri-
con homes.
