LETTER FROM THE
GREAT NORTHWEST

autos marched around the square and
to the half-milc race track. 500 was
given as prizes in the 5 mile, IS mile,
and as mile races, and Sloo to the
WINNER of the parade.
To the few who had witnessed the
Ormond Beach international races in
Florida, the half mile track was far
more enjoyable and exciting, for the
racers were never out Of sight of the
spectators, and the excitement grew
intense as round after round was made
with scarcely a gain of foot, and then,
with sudden squirt, a machine shot
past its competitors. to be ovcrtakcn,
possibly, before another round was
completed The White Steamer and
the Buick were the winners, tho there
were many other machines entered.
The auto fad is an expensive one and
brings bitter regrets to some who
acquire it,
have one acquaintance, a young
dentist, who mortgaged his entire be-
longings to purchase S. 900 machine,
and ncglccts his business for the pleasure
of driving it,
The Land Fad Beats All.
The land fad, however, is the most
absorbing fad Of all 1t has become
a craze and wealthy people are leaving
luxurious homes to live in huts on the
frontier fourteen months to secure
homesteads on the Indian reservations
recently opened to settlers. Others
are paying from SIS to $500 per acre for
water, and 50 cts per acre for land in
the many irrigated projects on the
deserts of Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Colorado.
Payments are made equal for ten
years, and only thirty days residence is
required, which is made with a picnicing
spirit in the pleasant season and greatly
enjoyed. Thus the desert is made to
blossom as the rose.
The summer sended a pleasant and
interesting summer. and start next
week for Lake Helen, the prettiest spot
on earth.

on Cape Horn.

Terrific Force of q Marine Upheaval
on Cape Horn.
A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught in dead calm, something
almost unprecedented in that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with a
light haze, and the sea was fiat and
lead colored. About 10 o'clock on the
morning of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fish poles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with a clatter. 1t was like
striking rock, only the shock was
less pronounced at first, but increased

swells with a strange hoarse murmur,
and 1t continued to be agitated after
the tremors ceased.
Half an hour later fish by the thous-
ands began to rise to the surface until
1t was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many cow
fish fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force Of some terrific marine
upheaval, and when struck with a
pole by one Of the sailors showed only
faint signs Of life. In twenty min
utes after the first fish arose to the
surface they began to drop out of sight
like pieces of lead. Whether they were
stunned and, on recovering, Immediate

Versally known to the people of Russia
as the holy seer and miracle worker
OF the empire. This resulted from the
deep impression his zeal and devotion
TO the church wrought on the people.
At the beginning Of his ministry in
1855, his zeal, his personality and his
unique methods appealed to the mediae-
val spirit which largely prevailed
among the people and in the Russian
church. and he welded wide influence.
becoming firmly intrenched in Russian
hearts. Quickly his fame spread. He
was credited with healing powers and
with the ability to perform miracles :
the raising from the dead of a girl in
st. Petersburg hospital was attrib-
uted to him by peasants, and soon his
home became the Mecca of MANY long
pilgrimages by the faithful suffering
from maladies. The sterling Qualities
OF Father John were admitted also nv
the late Emperor Alexander III. who
constantly honored and befriended him.
and who sent for him to administer the
last sacraments of the church when he
lay dying. He was conspicuous fig
ure at the solemnities attending the
coronation Of the present Car, and the
Empress showed her faith in him py
making pilgrimage to the Shrine of
st. Seraphin to offer her most feryent
prayer.
In his church Father John was urr-
ent along the lines of missionary en-
beavers In foreign fields. and Of this
interest the Russian Orthodox Church
Of st. Nicholas in New York City has
received ample share. Known to but
few Of his followers by his surname of
Sergeiff, he was Father John to all.
and as Father John Russia mourns
him.
