SHOT RAPIDS
IN MOTOR BOAT
WILD RIDE DOWN FIVE MILE
RAPIDS IN COLUMBIA RIVER
DOING ONE-MLE IN TWO AND
ONE-HALF MINUTES.

One of the most perilous boat
rides that has ever been experienced
was taken voluntarily by Dan
Thorpe in his 26-foot, five horse
power gasoline launch Thursday aft
ernoon,, when he shot the Five Mile
rapids of the Columbia, covering
mile in two and one-half minutes,
says The Dalles Chronicle.
Despite the warning of friends
that he was tempting fate to an
alarming degree and that should the
least mishap occur while making the
run he would be dashed to pieces
on the rocks, Mr.. Thorpe jumped
into the boat, turned on the power
and setting his nerve for the trial
shot over the rapids
Down through the spray and
swirling waters the little boat sped
at full speed, now skirting one OF
the mighty whirlpools only to be
confronted by some projecting rock.
Had the boatman at the wheel lost
his nerve for a moment boat and
man would never have been heard of
again. Spectators predicted that 1t
would be his last ride, but he made
the trip unframed save for a thor
ough drenching from the spray ana
the water which dashed into the
boat s~. ~ rsT III
Mr.. Thorpe is the third white
man, so it is said, who has even
successfully taken the perilous ride.
The current flows very swiftly, and
in places there are treacherous
whfrlpools that no boat smaller than
a steam tug could possibly expect
to float safely through If once
caught in them.
The river at some places is not
more than 100 feet wide, making
navigation doubly perilous Mr..
| Thorpe has been engaged with the
launch in carrying provisions for
Twohy Bros, on their contract on
the north bank. The boat was taken
to the upper river by train, and
after his work was done there Mr..
| Thorpe, rather than reload the boat
on the cars, determined to come
down the river.

ported to the senate this afternoon

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CERTIFICATES
C0RTELYOU REPORTS ISSUE A
SUCCESS-MONEY WILL 90 d.
RECT TO NATIONAL DEPOSI-
TARIES IN CROP SECTIONS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The
secretary of the treasury stated last
evening that subscriptions to the
3 per cent certificates were being re-
ceived in large numbers and that the
issue was already a successful one
In addition to subscriptions from in
dividuals, many national bank des
positaries in the crop-moving Sec
ton of the South and West are
availing themselves of the oppor-
tunity to purchase the certificates,
receive a large portion of the pro-
ceeds as deposit on approved Sc
curities and increase their circula-
tion to the amount of the registered
certificates in the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury. The bene-
fetal results of this increase in cir
culation would be promptly felt at
points where it will be most helpful,
and the government will be enabled
to make it's collections and expendi-
lures in such manner as not to be a
disturbing factor in business opera
tions.
National banks entitled to do so
will be allowed to increase their CIR
culation by depositing currency for
treasury certificates which, however,
would be retained in the treasury as
security for the increased circula-
ton. simultaneously the secretary
would redeposit with the purchasing
banks on state, municipal and rail-
road securities, Is per cent of the
amount of the currency put up for
certificates.

MONEY IN FARMING.

If those who think there is not any money in farming these days would take trip to the south part of our town and have talk with John Ben son they would change their minds. Fifteen years ago MT Benson pur- chased the farm he is now located on and at that time the farm was badly run down and the buildings, what few there were, were out of repair. The first year he was able to keep three COWS and two horses, but by the first of:MarchGheT had to buy hay to keep his stock until he could turn them out to grass: This year MT Benson is keeping 30 head of stock, 27 COWS and three horses, and raises hay enough for them all. Five or six years ago he built a nice eight-room house, the old house being in such shape it was not fit to live in. He has built 4Ofoot stock barn on one lend of the farm barn, which he has also thoroughly re- paired. He is also building 6O-foot. addition on the other end of the old barn which willsgive him a structure 164 feet long and very convenient for his business. He has also built other
