THE oCEAN-GoING RAFT.

The Astorian has no desire to impede
the course of an industry that is pecu-
liarlv indigenous to the Columbia River
Valley, and especially one that is so
UNIQUE and serviceable as is that of the
Hammond Rafting Company at Stella;
but. for the sake of the immensely larg-
er interests at stake, suggestion for
the safer despatch and surer delivery OF
these great shipments cannot be deemed
ieonoelastic. even in these columns.
They are immense money-makers to
begin with, and the scope of profit may
be abridged somewhat in the interest OF
the correlative industries that surround
them and occupy the same field of tran
sit. In harbor they are safe enough
and can be disposed to the complete
security of all neighboring craft and
people, but on the high seas they are
deadly menace every hour of their pas
sage. 1t is in this phase of their hand
ling that some safeguard must be de-
vised to hedge, and the sooner the bet
ter for the big industry itself and for
those to whom its dangers are most
nearly directed. The possibilities for
ruin to steam and sailing vessels arising
from their abandonment at sea, their
breaking up en- route, and other alarm
ing exigencies peculiar to the business,
are too we'll known to be retailed here,
but it is none the less imperative that
the exploiting company, or the legis'
lature, provide some effective rules gov
erning the venture, that shall make for
the safety of hundreds and thousands
of people within the radius of their
scope for destruction. The gravity of
the situation will be forced home to all
concerned some time, even after series
of successful voyages and no assurance
of their general safety is dependable at
any time. The inherent forces for
catastrophe are too many and vicious to
be neglected any longer, and it is hoped
steps will be taken to make this splen-
did business as safe for others as it is
lucratife for its originators and own
ers.

RULING MARKET PRICE.

has Just been through the local court
of his city, on twenty different charges

coMing to the report he was fined, in
each case, "the customary sum OF 1910
and this must be the ruling price in a
market where kissing is fine art, the
initial signal of ordinary gallantry, and
does not constitute assault and battery,
hence, the price quoted may be taken
as the actual and legal value OF the
commodity. There should be some
standard governing this thing and this
is better than none. And the poor girls
got nothing-exeept the kisses

THE RHODE ISLAND.

The new and magnificent warship
Rhode Island, which has just been pull
ed off the York Spit, in the Chesapeake
Bay, is the biggest thing of her kind in
the American service; so big that she
had to decline an invitation to visit
Newport because the local authorities
could not find any quick despatch plan
for moving the town back to let her in
the bay. Anyhow, 'little Rhody" was
big enough to furnish the name for the
monster.

same time as the stone wall under the
barn, bonding these walls together.
When the root house walls are up
feet at the bank side and feet
inches or 6 inches at barn side, then
put in centers and Logging, supported
by uprights and plate, giving the
centers a rise Of at least one inch in
the foot, that is for a root house II
feet wide. Have II inch rise in the
arch centers or ribs; little more
rise is better. The reason of having
the arch one foot four inches higher
at the barn side of the roothouse is
to allow for a door feet high from
the basement into the root house.
Now carry up the end wall to the
shape and height of the centers. Put
in three-quarter inch rods from 8 to
feet apart, at the spring of the
arch having large washer and nut
on each end Of each rod, so as to be
able to tighten them up after the COW
ering is set, and before taking out the
center mould. These rods run through
both walls across the rOOthOuse to
keep the arch from spreading the
walls. (See plan.) A manhole can
be built at the top of the arch at one
end by putting in a large tile or by
building curb for filling with roots;
this serves as a ventilator as well.
Also put in small window at each
end wall below the arch to furnish
light. On each end of the roothouse
on top of the arch a coming wall can
be built to retain the earth, as from
IL to Is inches of earth should be on
top of the arch to keep out the frost
as well as protect the arch from re-
ceiving injury from heavy loads. For
the arch use five parts gravel to one
part Portland cement. For walls use
eight parts gravel to one part Port
land cement. Stone filters may be
used in the arch and the side walls.

on the bottom of which should be
laid fairly large pebbles or broken
stones to depth of six inches, then
over this, six-inch layer of coarse
gravel; over this, nine inches of fine
gravel, and finally, layer of clean
sharp sand to a depth of ten or
twelve inches. A top layer of about
three inches of fresh sand added
from time to time will keep the filter
in good working order throughout the
season; but it should be thoroughly
cleansed and fresh material provided
at least once year. The water for
use should be run off from the bot
tom of the filter by means of draw
tap or syphon into another vesso,
kept for service purposes.
