PUGET SOUNDS WHALE AFRAID
Lightning Made It Just Cut Up Aw.
fully.

lightning MADE u JUST CUT up AW'
fully.
Lightning is Of such rare occurrence
on Puget sound that even the whale
was terribly frightened by the vivid
flashes and crashing peals Of thunder
in the recent storm. According to the
officers Of the tug Elf, the whale be-
came frantic in recent storm, thresh-
ing the water into a milky white color
for some distance about by its huge
tail, and its madness almost de-
molished the boom Of logs which the
tug was towing.
Both Captain Burnham and the chief
engineer say this whale is larger than
any hitherto seen by them on the
Sound. 1t is at least 80 feet long, and
its tail was eight feet across at the
tip.

CLEARWATER IS
NOT NAV|GABLE
HOPE OF NORTHERN
IDAHO Is BLASTED.
Government Engineers Report That
the River Cannot Be Made Passable
for Boats-Improvements Would
Involve Too Great Expense and
Government VIII Not Undertake #.

The hope of Idaho people that the
Clearwater river could be made nav
( igable has been blasted by the report
of the government engineers. The
Lewiston Teller says
The feature of the meeting of the
/ Commercial club last night was the
report of S. w. Roessler, major Of
the corps of engineers who made an
investigation Of the Clearwater river
with a view Of its improvement for
barge navigation, and the report of
/ d. w Lockwood. lieutenant colonel
of the corps OF engineers, in which
both engineers reported unfavorab bly,
to the improvement of the river at
/ the governments expense.
In concluding his report, which
contains letters from prominent ship
pers Of the Clearwater section all of
which are unfavorable to the i'm
provement of the river. Major Roess-
| Ter says
After a personal inspection Of the
| river l am inclined to the opinion
that the case is correctly stated by
the above quotation from the letter
of the Kamiah Trading company.
! While the lumber industry might be
I benefited to some extent by the re-
moval of rocks and shoals which
break up the log RATS, 1t is not be-
lieved that anything short Of canal
ization would result in developing
traffic in any other lin" of business.
"The only effect that improvement
would have upon the general business
would be to cause a reduction in the
present railroad traffic.
I'm view of the foregoing facts
am of the opinion that the Clearwater
river is not worthy Of improvement
by the general government with a
view Of developing barge navigation"
The conclusion of the report Of
Lieutenant Colonel D. w. Lockwood
says:
From a careful study Of the ply
sical characteristics of the river 1t is
evident that systematic improve
ment would involve great expense,
and that canalization is the only
method which would furnish a safe
and reliable channel through a suf-
ficient portion OF the year to develop
any considerable traffic.
1.-THE cost Of this method Of i'm
provement would be wholly dispro-
portionate to the benefits which 1t
would afford. In view of the forego-
ing, the board concurs with the dis
trict officer and the division engineer
in the opinion that 1t is not advisa-

Although the indictments against
the bankers are the most important
criminal cases to be held up by the

criminal cases that are not filed in

transacted through the medium of the

FLOWING UP HOP FIELDS.
Willamette Valley Farmers Changing
Their Occupation.

During the past two weeks this
section has been well soaked with

ors are well pleased with the outlook.
says an Aurora, Ore, item. The
ground Is in good shape, and much
work has been done for the winter
grains.
An unusually large acreage of grain
has been sown this fall, many of the
hop growers thinking 1t better to put
in small grain than to depend entire
ly on hops for financial returns on
their properties.
One noticeable feature among the
farmers is that many of them are
going into the dairy business, realiz-
ing that industry is one that there Is
no let up in, and the price remains
nearly always the same for the pro-
duct.
Those of the farmers who have
tried the experiment have grown
rich on the project, and they will
have many followers since the price
of hops has fallen off to such a low
price that 1t is impossible to raise
them, even with Chinese labor.

Buffalo Robes Scarce.

Buffalo robes will soon be a
thing OF the past, said local deal
er, who has had six robes on sale
the past winter. the property of a
citizen who could not afford TO keep
the precious skins longer Five Of
them have been sold, and while $500
has been offered for the last of the
lot, the dealer is holding il for 5000,
the price demanded by the owner.
The robes are not unusually large
either. Imagine a carriage being
driven about town, a 5000 robe
thrown carelessly over the seat
while the owner stepped into a bust
ness house for a few moments.
Few people would recognize the
robes as valuable, however, as they
have no more style than the or
binary fur robe sold at $50 or so.
But the value 4 there, as the pur-

THE RUBY'S SECRET.

From Berlin the news is csbled
that chemist there has just discov-
cred how 10 manufacture rlbies so
perfectly that il is impossible TO
distinguish them from natural ones.
The chief material used is said TO
/ be thernitc, which is composed
largely Of aluminium. How 70
make rubies, howeyer-stones that
not only look like rubies, but which,
when subjected 10 chemical analy-
sis. actually respond with all the
constituents of the real ruby-was
actually discovered some little time
ago. and the manufacture has al
ready become an industry in Paris.
The French maker begins with a
solution of common alum, to which
Ia trace Of chrome alum Is added as
the ultimate coloring constituent.
Ammonia is added, and there re-
Isults a gelatinous preeipitate of the
'hydratcs Of aluminium and chro-

So complete is the similarity be-
tween the manufactured rubies and
the geruine that pawnbrokers Of
European cities have already begun
10 refuse 90 make loans on rubirs,
for they frankly admit that they
cannot differentiate the true from
