The little cold weather the first
of the week served as a reminder of
what most of us had to contend
with for several months every winter
in the frozen East. Let us rejoice
that we live in a place where we
have but very little frost and the
grass is green and growing the
whole year.

j. e. Defebaugh, editor of the
American Lumberman" of Chi
cago, who has bestowed such marked
praise on Douglas fir, has the fol-
lowing to say editorially in the cur
rent issue of the "Lumberman:"
The Pacific Northwest makes
wonderful appeal to every visitor.
1t is a land of living waters, of
golden soil, of mineral wealth be-
yond comprehension, of forests
which will bless mankind when
other lands are desolate; land of
mountain, plain and valley; of a
people great in intellect, energy,
endurance and kindliness. In this
golden Northwest, is a climate with
out the harshness of the North or
the enervating softness of the South,
these people are building an empire.
They have harnesses the streams for
power, or, pouring them over the
plains, have produced fruitful fields
and gardens; they are wrestling
from the earth its mineral wealth;
they are converting the forests into
forms of utility and beauty; they
are building schools and colleges:
the Bible vision of every man
dwelling under his own vine and
fig tree is realized here, where his
every bodily need and intellectual
want may be gratified. The miner
al wealth of the country is great
and great are its achievements, but
better than all this are the people
themselves-a chosen race-growing
in numbers and in all the accom-
plishments and graces which make
a people mutually useful and
happy"

Our officials are work to get all
the land in the county in school
districts. At the adjourned term
of Commissioners Court last week
they increased the size of several
districts and took in several thous-
and acres of land that has never
been in the boundary of any dis
trict. Most of this land is heavily
timbered, and viii soon be made to
help pay the taxes and build up our
schools. We hope the good work
will be continued until every foot
of this land is placed in school and
road districts. We will get this
timber cruised some day, perhaps
next year, and then part of the
burden of taxation will fall on the
timber owners, who have, in most
instances, so far escaped the taxes.

moment: l wanted to cry.
We We're so tired that We stepped back
from the mouth of the chute, feeling our way
cautiously as we went, and sat down on the
dry rock floor at little distance from the
pool. After sitting there for a few minutes,
happened to place my hand on the floor and
found that it was covered with fine, gritty
sand. Then it was that conceived brilliant
idea:
There's sand on the floor, Balser,' said
"'Yes,' he answered dolefu1ly i don't care
if it's gold dust What want is to get out OF
this awful place, and if once get out l wouldn'
come back for all the wealth of the worldr

perry rock, and then we'll be able to 60 up easily
mo sooner had 1 spoken than Balser was
filling his cap with the sand. l did likewise
but when we began to toss it on the rock,
said:
LET us try to wipe some of the moisture
from the rock and then we'll sprinkle the sand.
Il took my jacket and proceeded to dry the
rock as we'll as l could; then we sprinkled it
with sand and easily climbed out, as thankful
a pair of boys as lived in all the world.
WE hurried to the outer opening, and al
w though the sunlight almost blinded us,
it looked so sweet, tasted so sweet, and smelled
so sweet that we wanted to hug it to our breasts
and kiss it.
"'No more gold for mel said Bal-er.
"'Nor for mel | answered i don't want
anything better than Pelts. I'm going home,
and any man that wants that treasure may
have it if he can get IT.
I'VE were very tired, and Balser looked as
though he had been through an attack of sick
ness.
I'VE built fire and ate our supper. We did
not care to start back home at nightfall; so
we concluded to sleep under the rock one more
night and to get an early start in the morning.

home and soon became SO homesick that l
wanted to cry. After two or three efforts to
speak, l said, l wonder what mother is doing

very much comforted. Women don't know
what luxurious privilege they enjoy. Our
nerves were overweight by the terrible ex-
periences we had undergone, and we had never

Bill, to go away without that gold when we al
most have it in our hands. We are over the
-,,or. of the difficulties. We have solved the
problem of the chute. But have plan that
will m Ike the ascent of that slippery rock as
simple as A, B, c. Wen cut pole eighteen
or twenty feet long, and by the help of the pole
we can climb in and out without any trouble
Il was delighted with the suggestion and
we at once went to the top of the hill with our
Ratchet, where we felled small tree that
answered our purpose. First tried the descent
CT the chute, and by the help of the pole, easily
climbed out. That problem settled, We pre-
pared torches and started for the treasure in
real earnest.
after We had passed the chute, we lighted
our torches from fire that we had taken IN with
us and illumined the entire chamber. All that
day we spent in examining the cave; but no
chests could be found. The next day we found
other chambers of the cavern, and carefully
examined them.
Toward the end of the second days search
we discovered a passageway leading to a very
large cavern When we entered it we could
but we could distinctly see the lower ends OF
great hanging pillars called stalactites, which
hung down to within fifteen or twenty feet of
the floor Springng from the floor to meet
height from two to fifteen feet 1t was all like
a scene from fairyland; for the rock was of
white crystal, and glistened like millions of
diamonds in the light of our torches.
Leading from and through this marvellous
chamber were many corridors which wound in
and out among the columns like the paths of a
labyrinth. Frequently We thought we were
lost, and for fear that catastrophe might hap
pen we blazed our path by smoking the rocks
with our torches. SO that we might be able to
find our way out again.
After we had admired the wonderful scene,
beoan careful exarnin alton of the chamber
into it. Not square foot of floor did we leave
unexamined; not spot where the treasure
could be hidden did We fail to investigate. We
found no openings nor chambers other than

Carl E. Myers Of Frankfort, suburb
Of Utica, n. Y, is going to pluck
rainstorm from the skies that the for
est fires may be extinguished. Mr..
Myers is a veteran balloonist and aero
nautical engineer and claims that down
in Texas some years ago he produced
rain that spread over several states.
His plan is to send up into the sky a
biz balloon filled with gases, which he
explodes with an electric spark. The
explosion will be terrific. In an expert
ence Of this kind there sas never been
used a balloon more than ten feet in
diameter, but on this occasion bal
loon having diameter Of twenty five
feet is to be used. Myers proposes to
cause the first explosion somewhere be-
tween Utica and Frankfort within a
few days. Large quantities of iron
filings and of sulphuric acid are used
in generating the gases.
Myers has been engaged by several
paper companies Of northern New York
whose forest lands are melting away
to ashes to make rain. He contends
that the Mohawk valley is better
place to start the rain and that once
begun the rainfall will extend to the
mountains.

Hyde owns a collection of old Ameri-
can carriages. which long ago should
have found a place in one of the pub
lie museums. 1t comprises travelling
coaches or chariots, postchaises. cur
ricles and other quaint old vehicles of
eighteenth century design. Studebaker
Bros. are the owners Of two historical
carriages. One is the barouche in
which Abraham Lincoln rode to his in
auguration as president of the United
States The other is the carriage built
for General Lafayette and presented
to him by the United States govern
ment on the occasion of his last visit
to America
One of the Oldest vehicles in New

English Balloonist Says They Will Cost
$500 Each In Ten Years.

''In less than ten years ,aeroplanes
will cost no more than $780, is the
prediction made by Frank Hedges But
Ter, the well known English balloon
list, who recently returned to London
from lie Mans, France, where he made
an ascent in Wilbur Wright's aero
plane Mr. Butler thus continues his
glimpse into the future:
Lighthouses on land will be erected
by the trinity board. To mark the way
at night lamps on aeroplanes or fiers
will be used. With the smaller planes
the speed will be terrific, 200 miles an
hour, and the twenty-one miles across
the channel will mean very few min
utes. Winds at sea blow more steadily
than on land, and aeroplanes can be
made to float on the water and raise
themselves. If such machines now can
carry what is equal to three passen-
gers there is no reason why an aero
plane should not carry more with lar
