WHEAT SHIPMENTS START.
Upper River Boats Carry First Cargo
OF 1907 to CclilO.

vi IbUi 10 SclllO.
Movements of wheat on the upper
river have already commenced and
the steamer Relief brought down 500
sacks of grain from Alderdale and
Roosevelt yesterday to Cello, where
1t was shipped down and taken aboard
the ]. n. Teal to be brought to Port
land, says the oregon Daily Journal.
The wheat is coming to Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., and is the forerunner
of the river grain transportation which
promises to be very large this year
The Relief will make three trips a
week from Umatilla in the future and
will carry her full cargo OF 1900 sacks
on each trip. 1t is estimated that her
owners will handle between 100000
and 100000 sacks of the golden grain
for Portland this season.
Superintendent Fred Snipes of the
Open River Navigation company,
which operates the Relief and j. n.
Teal, arrived home last night from
a trip up the river where he made ar
rangements for transporting the grain.
Mr.. Snipes said this morning that
improvements In the state portage
road had commenced at Cello to re-
duce the steep grade at that point. At
present 1t is necessary to let the cars
down to the steamers by dummy
engine, but when the grade has been
cut away the trains will be able to
run down to the steamer landing and
transfer the cargoes without the loss
of time necessary with the present ar
rangement.
The cut will be extensive and en-
gineers estimate that more than 5000
cubic yards of rock will have to be
cut away to make secure the desired
grade.

STORY OF A FOX A
SUCCESS Secured by Maine Man In
This Experiment.

-
Success Secured by Maine Man In
This Experiment.
Starting a fox farm was a kind
of wild goose scheme, SO Elijah
Norton, the originator of the
project, frankly acknowledged,
as he spent a great deal of money
on the undertaking. His success,
however, not only proves the ex-
cellency of his judgment, but his
experiment is attracting wide at
t%ention, says the New York Trib-
une.
The fox farm experiment began
about five years ago. Mr.. Norton
owns a tract of several hundred
acres about 40 miles from Bangor,
Maine, two of which are devoted
to the fox farm and are inclosed
with a wire fence ten feet high. AS
the foxes will climb to that height,
he saw to it that the fence at the
top turned in and projected over
the inclosure about two feet, thus
presenting an effectual barrier to
their escape.
To prevent the foxes burrowing
out, Mr.. Norton dug a trench and
filed it witt a.ones, so that under
meath every inch of the wire fence
about the inclosure there is 4
stone wall. Then he cat the fox
farm up into Il lots of different
sizes, putting up a we'll built house
on every lot with a yard runnin.
all the way around; the houses in
every instance being provided with
a cOmmodious chamber. In the
summer time the inmates of the
fox farm prefer their own bur
rows. But at the first suggestion
Of cool weather they take to their
handmade dwellings, showing q
marked preference for the second
floor apartments.
II started my farm with six blue
foxes" said Mr.. Norton, "bringing
them from Alaska to Seattle by
boat, and from there by express.
Now ! have so or more. ItcOst me
just $105.SO to get my six foxes to
the farm. But they have paid for
themselves, express charges and
all, several times over"
Foxes at the farm become less
shy of strangers after the cool
weather sets in. With their own.
er and every member of his family
they have learned to be perfectly
at ease. Appearing from a bur-
row or coming down from their
upstairs room, they scan the new.
conner curiously. On closer &C.
quaintance with them it is easy to
discern that the farm foxes also
lack the hard, crafty expression
usually seen in the regular wild
type. They seem every way more
attractive and possessed of Il
pleasanter disposition.
A wave of the hand from either
their owner or the young man will
guide the crafty creature through
any opening, the same as the shep.
herd leads his sheep.
The care of the fox is not diff.
cult. Anything that a cat or a dog
will eat is palatable to the fox. So
the diet is simple enough.
