Airships and Rough Weather.

II man is to initiate the bird success

the freaks OF weather up in the air
Count Zeppelin's record making dirigi-
bic came to grief through a storm. He
soon brought out another with higher
motor power. hoping for better luck.
He deserves 1t as a reward Of persist
ence.
1t is the persistence OF men like Yep
pelin and the Wrights that augurs
most for aerial navigation. They can
profit by their failures. Storms will
be the worst foe to airships. Birds do
not fly against storms. They often fiy
below or above them and even alight
to escape the winds fury. The petrol
dies near the water and hugs the sur.
face closest when storm is threat
ening. The machine which is self
adjustable to conditions Of the air" will
need TO beat the bird at weathering
storms or, like most all birds. dodge
them.

This canal connects the waters OF

Reports from the big shipyards Of
Scotland state that the marked decline
in ShipJuilding noted for a year past
has abated and that orders for new
ships have come To hand in such mum
bers rs to portend a speedy revival Of
the industry. A similar awakening
has been felt in Germany aud France
and the depression Of the early months
Of the year has given way To cheer.

owners are now willing TO branch out

Canada'r Election and the Tariff

There appears to be no protest
against Canada's present tariff policy
in the vote cast at the recent parlia-
mentary elections. The Liberals re-
turned to power will be likely to con-
tinue the protective system they have
maintained for the past ten years. In
this respect they stand in their oppo-
nents' camp.
In spite of Canada's discrimination
favoring Great Britain as against the
United States In the matter Of import
duties our exports to Canada have
been steadily growing. Great Britain's
exports To Canada have almost doubled
within ten years. This happy trade
experience with Canada under the
preferential system may lead the
mother country TO adopt a discriminat-
ing policy favoring all her colonies at
the expense of other nations In this

A WONDERFUL CAVE.
In Southern Oregon, Near the califon
mia Line-Four Stories of Marble
Halls.

6dliS.
In Southern Oregon. hugging the Cal
ifornia line near the famous old mining
camp of Kerby, is cave that promises
on further exploration to be the great
est in the world. 1t is in the Siskiyou
reservation seventy-five miles from
Crater Lake and eight miles from
Briggs mines on Sucker Greek, says
THE Philadelphia Press"
This wonder of marble and crystal
beauty has been explored to great
depths by a party composed Of Joa-
quin Miller, C. B. Watson and Jefferson
Myers. Mr.. Myers returned to Port
land enthusiastic over what he had
seen.
ut is truly wonderful, that place is"
he said. I'VE went over all that is
now known of it. Joaquin Miller nam
ed it 1.-The Marble Halls of Oregon
1--WE went from Kerbyville under
the guidance Of the two men who have
spent twenty years in and around the
splendid place-John Kincaid of Will
liams, Ore, and Frank M. Nickerson
of Kerby.
From Kerby we went to the mouth
of Cave Creek, then up that stream
over a good foot trail seven miles to
the mouth of the Halls Here the
River Styx comes right out OF the
mountain and tumbles over fall OF
twenty feet. This is the lower en-
trance. 1t is about as large as an or
binary door in the face of a marble
cliff, three hundred feet high and five
hundred feet long, and clear white-a
beautiful sight in itself. This entrance
was found in 1874 by hunter named
Elijah Davidson, who trailed a white
faced deer into the place. Three years
later in 1877, Davidson, Nickerson, one
of our guides, and John M. Chapman,
made the first exploration. They went
over the same route within the cave
that we did this trip.
THE first owners were Homer and
Ernest Hardness, brothers, who squat
ted there in 1850 and spent over $1,000
trying to open up the place. Tney
made trails and all that, but gave 1t
I'D. for there were not people enough
to come to see it to make 1t pay. F.
M. Nickerson and A. ]. Henderson next
took up the property in 1887. After
them came Captain A. B. Smith, who
spent about $4,000. Our party went In
August 10 last. and through the ef-
forts of M. ]. Anderson, chief of for
estry for Southern Oregon, the govern
ment withdrew it from private entry
and will make 1T national monu-
ment
The halls, are so far as we know
now, on four levels, or floors. From
the lowest to the highest is about 600
feet. These levels, as in a mine, are
connected here and there"
