MOUNTAIN GEM REPAIRED
Expected to Make First Trip to &c.
lilo Today.

It was expected that the Mountain
Gem, which mad hole punched in her
keel by striking rock in the Column
bia river last week, would be put
in commission again today. At present
the Mountain Gem will be operated be-
tween Cello and Wallula, as it is
reported that there is a large amount
of wheat awaiting shipment at Wal
lula. It is also expected that the
Gem will handle a great deal of bust
ness on up-river trips by reason
of the work being carried on by the
Northern Pacific in building it's north
bank railroad. The steamer Columbia
is now running between Kennewick
and Cello and has all she can do.

of Jacob Helwig versus Phillip B.
Hawley, involving the west half of

The contestant set up the claim
that Hawley had not complied with

days by the citizen who wants to get
his winter supply of wood sawed and

the jobs before moving to another part
of the city.
New Sidewalks on AIder-Wooden
sidewalks in the business district on
Alder street are rapidly giving way
to more permanent cement walks as

According 10 President Francis,
the brightest thing said on the
grounds during the st. Louis fair

at the Turkish mosque on the Pike
when an elderly spinster fell into

the customary interest in his spirit

ear of seed corn required TO plant six
ty-seven acres. Some such method is
said to have been used by John r. Clis-
by, secretary Of the Illinois Corn
Breeders association, I'm testing large
quantities of seed corn. One kernel
should be taken from the butt Of the
ear. at least one from the middle and
one from the tip. Four kernels is
enough to take from one ear for practi-
cal work if properly taken.
The four kernels from each ear must
be placed in a separate group, and it
is best that the group be marked or
numbered to correspond with the num-
Der of the ear from which the kernels
were taken. For this plan it is neces-
sary that the ears be placed in regular
order as the kernels are removed from
them. A good device for arranging the
cars in regular order is shown in the
first cut.
one of the quickest and most con.
venient devices for making germina-
tion tests is that first used by Profess
or Goff at the Geneva station I'm New
York This apparatus consists Of a
water tight box across which are ex-
tended folds Of canton flannel These
folds are suspended from wires and
can be removed TO dry when not in
use. The box must be filed to the
depth Of about an inch with water, SO
that the folds Of canton flannel will
hang down enough to touch the water
and thus be moistened by capillarity.
The box should be about l. by 81 inch
es and 4 or 8 inches deep. It may be
made of wood, galvanized iron. tin OF
copper, and the wires can be cut from
ordinary smooth galvanized fence wire
When kernels Of corn are to be tested
in this terminating apparatus they are
removed from the ears. placed between
the folds in regular order and the folds
closed together. The groups of Kernels
from the separate ears may be mum
bered with slips Of paper. This mum
bering will not be absolutely necessary
If proper care is used TO have the
groups of kernels correspond to the
ears Of corn from which they came

SOME CURIOUS FINDS.
Money Lost on a Farm Was Located
Inside a Potato.


Inside Potato.
A Scarborough gentleman was
surprised recently to find thirty
eight pins in his breakfast egg, aud
most other people would have been
surprised, too, under the circum-
stances. There ought to be collec-
ton of miraculous eggs somewhere.
1t was only two years ago since a hen
laid an egg at Bedford with a penny
in it. There is no doubt at all as
to the fact, but the question, "1ow
did the penny get inside the eggf"
has never been quite satisfactorily
settled.
A companion puzzle is afforded
by a market gardener, well known at
Spitalhelds market, who once lost
and found a half crown under al
most incredible circumstances. He
was inspecting his crops when he
dropped the half crown on the
ground, and. though he searched
long and diligently, he searched in
vain. A year passed, and the Incl
dent was being forgotten when. as
he was selecting some potatoes for
the market, Mr.. Smith came across
one of a very curious shape. Cut
ting it open to discover the cause of
its eccentricity, the gardener found
inside ii the half crown piece he had
lost twelve months before The po-
tato was seen by hundreds Of people,
and the truth of the story is well
vouched for.
Remarkable as they are, there is
nothing unique in these cases. One

A Trimmer

Richard Olney was attacking that
belieose spirit which he has very
cleverly termed the war bacillus,
and in the course of his attack he
had occasion to refer to a certain
diplomat.
While Mr.. Olney was speaking
man with bow legs passed and sa-
mted.
"There goes Hunt" said Mr.. Oh
'ney. "a more bowlegged man new
er lived than he" Then, going back
to the diplomat, he resumed:
"The trouble with this diplomat
is that he is all things to all men.
With A he is Methodist, with B
he is a Prohibitionist, with c he Is a
Presbyterian and, by Jove. with
Hunt he is bowlegged." Baltimore
