this port was that of the bark Envoy. fitted
by William O.. Brownell in 1913. The ship
made but one voyage from this port. After
sending home 1900 barrels OF whale OIL and
1000 pounds of whalebone she was sold TO
parties on the Pacific Coast. IL always
has been claimed that the Envoy netted her
owners 5000, 900, which is certainly n mighty
good return on the money invested.

Lost Race Or Indo-China.

From The Singapore Free Press.
The great mystery about Indo-Cbina and
one which must ever be insoluble IL the story
of the lost race and the vanished civilization
OF that strange country.
The mighty walks OF AnRkor-Wat. rising
in the midst OF sparsely settled ~Jungles. re-
main as the memorial Of a great empire which
has utterly disa ppeared and Is altogether lost
to history. No one will ever know who
planned this gigantic temple or what tyrant
bounded on his myriads Of people to build up
those immense blocks OF stone and cover
them with the most elaborate OF sculptures.
Angkor-Wat was one OF the most astonishing
monuments In the world, and this forgotten
temple was built so as to endure as long as
the earth itself were II not for the irresistibly
destructive effect OF plant life on the strongest
walls that man can raise.
Only a highly civilized and very wealthy
people could have erected Angkor-Wat,
a very different race from the Annamite OF
modern days. The whole nation has disap-
peared as utterly AZ the busy mryiads who
once populated the wastes Ind solitudes OF
Memphis.

Ether . Festive Drink in Russia.

From the Family Doctor.
The habit Of ether drinking Is extremely
prevalent in some parts Of Russia. As OF East
Prussia. and all the efforts Of the authorities
TO combat the evil have hitherto been almost
fruitless.
An idea Of the extent to which the habit
prevails may be gathered from reports given
in the Russian newspapers of a recent acct
dent which occurred at n place called Trossno.
Ether Is drunk by farmers on festive oo-
casions. when It appears to be consumed
in pailfuls. A farmer celebrating his sons
wedding in the fulDess of his hos pitality
got in two pals OF ether. During the process
explosion took place. by which six children
were killed and one adult was dangerously

Does It Pay to Raise Strawberries?

MR.. EDITOR:
Many of our people being some
what ouraged over the straw
berry situation in this locality
owing to the freeze this spring,
decided to study the question and
so went TO consult the oracles al
Mt. Hood-the people who have
made the Clark's Seeding famous
as Hood River Berries. -
Hood River certainly makes 1t
pay to raise strawberries, though
the tendency is to diff into apple
orchards, and largely because they
want to get away from the work
that is necessary to make berry
culture a success. There are none
of us that like to work any to we'll.
Hood River raises from 100 to
800 crates FER acre. They plant
only in hedse rows or the hill sys-
tenn. They consider the life time
of the plant from four to six years
Their soil is quite different fIom
ours in the fact that it has been
timber land, ard has large a.
mount of vegt table humus or mold
in the ground and needs no fertil-
izer to commence with.
When a piece of ground is to be
planted the second time to berries,
they cultivate it 10 potatoes or corn
for one or two years, then ms nure
it heavily, and seed it down to
clover, pillow the clover under and
set out plants. Is it any wonder
they raise fine berries and lots Of
them?
After the picking season is over
and as soon as they can conven-
ient.y get at it, they cut off the tops
emit ely, and ether burn them in
winnows on the ground or rake
ard haul them off and burn them
The objects Of cutting tops is to
prevent the plant serdirg out SO
many runners, and to get rid of
vermin, and better to clean and
cultivate plants; they never let the III
dry up from forty to sixty days as
many ofyou may have been told.
