ist--that it would be hard TO lay ones
finger on just the side of his char
acter which Is likely to be emphasized
in the coming anniversary celebration.
Not unlikely, however, emphasis will
be put in Boston upon his scientific
achievements. AS the first American
to attain any reputation abroad in
scientific pursuits and particularly as
the father of modern electricity, Frank
lin, aside from the fact of his having
been born in the puritan capital, has
a peculiar claim upon the remem.
brance of that city, which has been
the center of so many of the inn
portant electrical developments of the
century; where the telephone was de.
veloped and where the possibilities of
the overhead trolley were first worked
out. 1t was, so historians recall, dur
ing a visit to Boston made long after
he had become established in Phila.
delphia, that the great commoner &C.
quired that first interest in electrical
subjects which led to the discovery
OF the nature of electricity. The CIV
ilized world at that time was just be.
ginning to grope for knowledge OF the
mysterious force. Only short time
before had Du Fay formulated his the.
DRY OF the two kinds of electricity
which, from the nature OF the sub
stances from which he produced them,
he called vitreous and resinous but to
which Franklin later gave the name
Of positive and negative; and only
little while before that had Gray, an
English pensioner at Charter house,
first noticed that different substances
have different electrical conductivity.
The Leyden jar, an entertaining de-
vice of the Dutch eXperimenters, had
been discovered a year or two before
and was being displayed throughout
Europe by wandering mountebanks as
a scientific curiosity. 1t happened,
therefore, in TAG, while Franklin was
in Boston visiting members of his
family, that at the same time a DR..
Spencer, of Scotland. was exhibiting
some of the new electrical apparatus
ard lecturing upon it. The philoso-
pher, at that time in the prime of his
achievements, attended the lectures,
saw immense possibilities in the Ley.
den jar and other pieces of mechan-
ism, and determined upon his return
to Philadelphia to carry on investiga.
tions of his own. That was the be.
giuning of FTanklin's great accom-
plishment in making obsolete the idea
that electricity is an obscure fluid,
producing curious manifestations, and
in causing it to be studied as a force
capable Of being applied to everyday
problems of living His subsequent
studies, including the famous ki.e-fy-
ing episode, fairly entitled him to be
called the father Of modern electricity.
Unless some one of penetrative and
practical mind had made them, the
telegraph telephone and trolley car
and the numerous other utilities de.
pendent upon electricity could hardly
have come into being So that Boston
will naturally Law stress upon the
mans scientific attachments, mindful
also of the fact that IN Charlestown

the time when the philosopher sent up
his famous kite.
Similarly, picture Franklin's feel
ings if he could see the rapidly-mov-
ing trolley car, the gittering electric
light which has taken the place of the
tallow candles of his own time, and
the manifold other uses to which cleo
tricity is put. In his own lifetime,
when he proposed to protect buildings
by lightning rods, his undertaking was
denounced as IAN impious attempt

reports that he found both the Irri-

the 1rrigon dam, a passage about
eight feet wide is left in the middle
of the channel, and in the Maxwell
dam, fish ladders of the latest design
are constructed. The high water has
carried away a portion of the dam
built at a great cost by the Maxwell

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature
It is that deprives the rose OF mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory. that canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she Is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

Over 500 men are now working on
the irrigation schemes in the vicinity
of Bend, Crook county, and the daily
payroll at Bend. for men and teams,
is over $4,000, according to the state
ment of Charles F. Miller, of Union,
who is in Pendleton a few days, after
working for the past four months in
the Bend country.
Mr.. Miller is enthusiastic over the
prospects ahead of that district. About
100000 acres of land will be reclaim
ed in that vicinity under all the vari-
Gus schemes now in progress, and
most of this land is very good quality
of alfalfa or fruit land.
The elevation of the Bend district
is about 5000 feet above the sea level,
yet the winter has been very mild
and the rain has furnished sufficient
moisture for abundant crops next
season.
The average price of the raw irri-
gated land will be about SIS per acre
on reasonable terms, he states and
this inducement is causing many to
settle there.
The irrigated land is not the only
inducement offered by the Bend dis
trict, as there are thousands of acres
of the finest yellow pine timber there
to be found in the West. A large
portion of this kind of land has long
b4en ,1cated, but Mr.. Miller states
that there is considerable yet open
to settlement.
The prospects for a railroad are
= nov very good, as the Columbia
Southern has made surveys through
to Bend, and has given promise of
building to that point as soon as pos
sible. The Corvallis & Eastern from
west of the Cascades is also headed
toward Bend. and it is possible that
two roads will tap the country with
IN the next year
Settlers are going into the Bend
country by the stageload, Mr.. Miller
declares, and he looks for an unpre-
cedented rush there as soon as the
tourist rates go into effect on the
Hartman lines.
