Shipping Hay to Dealers.

During the last two years a number
OF rogues In different sections of the
country have been Offering a considera-
Bile advance on the market price of hay
and thousands Of tons have been ship
ped to these people for which the pro-
Queer received little or no return. With
hay, as with other articles of farm
produce, 1t is usually best to sell 1t as
near home as possible. In every farm
Ing center there are reliable dealers
who will pay fair price for such pro-
ducts and pay spot cash for them. True,
they sell them at an advance, but it Is
almost impossible for the grower to
reach these outside sources of demand,
hence he can better afford to let the
local dealer make dollar or two than
he can to take any chances In shipping
himself, and especially to people Of
whom he knows nothing. The writer
yearly sells his surplus hay to local
liveryman and gets the cash on deliv-
cry. Opportunities offer to bale 1t and
ship to the city at an advance on the
local price, but we have figured that
our labor, time and element of risk In
the latter proposition Is not warranted
by the higher price, so we 'let we'll
enough alone" and 1t generally pays to

The Klickitat Indians have the
story among the legends of their
tribe that at one time there was a
bridge across the Columbia. An
aged Klickitat once said and main
tanned with all gravity: my grand
fathers mother padded canoe under
that bridge; 1t was dark for a very
long time; she had little by with
her who was much frightened; this
boy when he grew up often told of that
great, long, dark, very dark way far
under the ground"
Other Indians tell the story that at
one time many moons ago the great
mountains now called Mount Hood
and Mount Adams made q terrible
battle and fought desperately des-
perately that the earth shook and
trembled-and in the fight that the
mountains were vt afre and q great
lake which lay in the depression
above the bridge was drained: that
the bridge was torn down and the en-
tire character Of the country changed.
This immense battle no doubt was
an earthquake and the IRE to the In.
dams mind was volcanic action Of
these two mountains wherein want
quantities Of molten lava were spewed
out and destroyed the forests upon
the bridge with Its forest Of trees was
destroyed and the banks Of tho river
caved In, which accounts for the many
dead tree trunks which strow tho river
bed from the little town Of Mosier,
Ore, to the Cascade Locks, which, H.
though submerged, still stand as 1t
were like grayestOnes telling the tale
Of a dead and forgotten past.
The two mountains, which are the
pride of the region, are Of volcanic
origin. The broken mountain ranga
upon each side Of the river shows
plainly that such condition could
have and must have existed at one
time. The detached rocks broken
from the PERCEPTIONS banks and the
canyon sides upon each side Of the
river bear out this theory. The old
water line marked plainly upon tie
rocky sides Of the precipitous banks
tell the story Of water levels above
that Of the present day. A bridge

the Gods"

The cascades In the Columbia river
near the Dalles are very interesting
subject FOR the geologist and scientist
At this point about 100000 cubic
feet Of water pass each second Of time
during high water and about 4,O0O,.
900 cubic feet Of water at low water
stage In the river. The water rushea
and dashes over great rocks and
through cravices and forms many
waterfalls and deep, swirling pools
From the topography Of the adjacent
country the scientist judges that at
one time there was here either a won
derful waterfall or, as Indian legend
has It, an immense natural bridge
Let US follow out the Indian tradf
tion about the place, says Wilhelmn's
Magazine.
Indian lore has It that at this point
there was natural bridge across the
Columbia and that beneath this Inn
mense natural. archway flowed the
rolling river and that the redmen nav
,igated this. water way IN their ca
nOeS-a This bridge was covered Nlth
pines and mrs and a trail passed over
It leading from bank to bank. Thu
name Of this trail was In the Indian
language "Tomanowas," which means
bridge Of the gods" As the Indiana
have no written language, this history
has been handed down by word Of
mouth from one generation to another
for hundreds and hundreds Of years
until the present day.

the banks Of the Columbia relates that

NEARLY ENOUGH MONEY.

The AMOUNT Of money already received
from the railroads of Michigan this year
is almost equal to the amount required to
meet all state expenditures, and some of
the smaller railroads of the state have
not yet paid their taxes. And this pleas
ing situation, pleasing to the taxpayers of
the state, at least, has come about under
state administrat that the campaign
noise-makers of two years ago said
would favor the railroads rather than the
people Of Michigan. 1t is noticeable,
however, that those who were most
prominent in making such statements two
years ogo are observing the strietest sort
Of silence at this time.
