There seems to he a general i'm
preston that the hay crop in this
section will be short this year. The
lateness of the spring is given as the
cause for the short crop. However,
our observation leads us to believe
that the crop will be fully up to last
year, at least in this neighborhood.
The hay has made wonderful prog
ress in the past few weeks, and while
it is not as tall as last year it is gem
orally of a heavier stand.

A ProvidentiaI Fire.

Here is new view of providential
interference i'll the affairs of this
world:
Our neighbor, Abe Ingles, had six
mortgages on his house and barn, and,
as he couldn't pay up, his creditors de-
cided to foreclose him; but just before
the bailiff arrived with papers prov
idential fire broke out in the kitchen,
and the house was burned to the
ground. Then the bailHf, fastening
to the scene, fell into a storm pit and
broke his good leg and lost his wood

VANISHING PUBLIC LANDS.
End Would Have Come Soon If Frauds
Had Continued.


At the beginning of this government
the public lands amounted to 2,295,
100000 acres. The quantity of land
that has passed in the last .twenty-fOuI
years from the government to states
individuals and corporations is equal
says Outlook, to strip of territory
across the continent including all OF
New England, New York, New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indi
ana, Illinois, Iowa, minnesota, WiscOn-
sin, Nebraska, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana TGahos Wyoming,
Washington and Oregon.
Since 1862 there have been 100000
900 acres taken UP in hOmesteadmg.
Where has the remainder of the pub
lie lands gone? To railways, lumber
companies, cattle companies and spec
ulatOrs, and large portions have been
allotted to the states.
1t is generally admitted that if the
depredations upon the public lands
had not been checked in 1908 by
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, backed by a
courageous president, the end of the
present administration would have
seen the nation despoiled of all of its
remaining agricultural lands that are
susceptible of irrigation and of its
richest remaining treasures in the for
est and in the mines.

MODERN BUSINESS PoLITENEss.
Shown in Writing Thanks" or "Thsnk
You" on Receipted Bills,

Shown in Writing Thanks" or "Thank
You" on Receipted Bills.
"a custom of politeness that is mod
ern in the extent of its practice, if not
in its introduction" said a man old
enough to be acquainted with ways
comparatively speaking ancient, sis
that of writing thanks or thank YOU
after the signature on receipted bills
sent in due course on payment OF ac-
counts; form that costs little effort
on the part of the signer and that is
sure to be not unpleasing to the per-
son to whom such politeness is Of
cred.
Widespread is this custom in it's
practice now, and SO in its observance
not likely to be surprising; out to-day
there came to my attention an IN
stance of courtesy in this form that
did at first seem rather strained and
excessive.
"On receipted bill received with
goods sent to me C. O. D. found az
ter the signature the polite thank
YOU and here this seemed almost
superhuous; for this was a bill pre-
sented in the course of a purely tran
silent and impersonal transaction But
a moments reflection showed that the
thank you here was really neither
superfluous nor excessive, but quite
correct; here it was simply the polite
thank you that we would have re-
ceived from the salesman If we had
paid him the cash for the goods at the
time of the purchase"

Naminu a Planet.

It was on the evening of March 10,
1871, that William Herschel, at
Slough, England, discovered a new
planet. Wishing to pay a compliment
to George Ill, his patron, he gave it
the name of Georgum Sidus, or the
Georgian star. Other English astron-
omers wishing to compliment the dis
coverer himself, suggested the name
of Herschel. Continental astronomers
proposed that the old NEUROLOGICAL
system be followed and the name of
Uranus was accepted by the scien-
tifc world as the designation of the
seventh planet.

TRIAL RUN OF NORTH COAST
LOCATING ENGINEERS MOVE
CAMP TO PRESCOTT TO
CONTINUE WORK.

On schedule time, the first train over
the new North Coast road passed
through the city. Engineer Clark was
IN charge of the engine and the full
crew was along. Passengers were few
as the trial run had not been announced
but a heavy load of freight was car
ried
The engine used was the old type
two horsepower automatic semi-re-
versible, two speed, double cylinder
straw burning, self centered style, pull
ing the regula ton four wheel coach
with upholstered seats, eating, sleep
ing and drawing room compartments
and baggage room.
The run began from the site of the
old camp three miles west of this city
where Engineer Clarks party has been
running lines for the North Coast for
the past few weeks. The route was di-
rectly through Walla Walla, thus
north to point about two miles this
side of Prescott. where the next stop
will be made. The train is a through
one and does not stop at local stations.
About twenty men composed the
crew of the Limited" whose limit is
seldom reached. The new camp at
Prescott will be maintained for several
weeks, the men working both ways.
The lines to be run are straight north

WORKING ON BULkhEAD.
City Engineer Locating Line Of WorI
Along Mill Creek.

City Engineer Wilson is locating AMI
stalking the line to be followed by the
bulkhead to be built along the banks
of the Mill creek east from the Clinton
street bridge There willebe 2760 feet
of hul'-heading on the south bank and
1: , te-- on the north bank, the cost
of 6;or Y II he over $4,000.
Much care leing taken in marking
out the ire of the bulkhead to make
the curves of 1reck $ course as easy
as possible. The ming cut of bulk
heading in the past nas b. largely
due to the fact that RI ct es were
too heavy, says EngineeI ilsoL.
Another cause for past trouble was
due to the fact that the foundation of
the bulkheading was not put in at a
sufficient depth. In the new work, the
foundation is sunk to either bed rock
or cement gravel
Monday, work was started on the 40
feet of concrete wall of bulkhead ding
to be put in just below the Main
street bridge where there will also be
so feet of concrete foundation put in
side the present wall to which it will
be joined with concrete.

NORTH BANK LOSES TREsTLE
SIX HUNDRED FEET OF STRUCT-
URE MYSTERIOUSLY DISAP-
PEARS NEAR PORTLAND.

That between 500 and 500 feet of the
trestlework on the North Bark road
near Columbia slough on the peninsu-
la, has been swallowed up by the
earth, leaving not a trace behind, is
the startling statement of Captain
Richard Cnllchott, of Portland, who
owns a ranch in that visinity. The
trestle at this point is fully so feet
high, being built upon piling, says the
Telegram.
Last night 1 drove out to my farm
On the other side of the slough said
Captain Chilchott this morning, land
1 went past the trestle and within a
quarter of a mile of it. l noticed that
part of it, about 500 feet in length, was
wrecked. l remarked upon this to my
driver This was not at the end of the
treStle or as far as construction has
gone, for about a quarter of a mile
still stood on the other side. The part
wrecked had broken away at both
ends from the remainder of the trestle
We made no close observation.
This morning 1 drove past again.
and the whole piece that had broken
away had disappeared absolutely
There was not a sign that it had ever
existed. OF course 1 was not very near
the trestle, but from where l was
could see that there was not sign of
it left.
'The only explanation, that 1 can find
of it is that the part that sunk into
the earth was built over quicksand
There is no doubt about the disappear
ance. The trestle simply sunk out OF
view into the earth
The North Bank road has extended
north from Portland as far as Column
bia Slough. For a great part of this
distance they have been forced to build
over marshes where it is practically
impossible to strike hard pan, A long
trestle has been used to carry the road
over these swamps and that the grade
to the big Columbia river bridge may
be an easy one the trestle has been
raised On piles to a hefghth of so feet.
Grant, Sharp & Co.. are the con-
tractors having charge of the contruc-
ton of the trestle.
