THE FoURrH,s HARVEST.

The Chicago Tribune has a way each
year of compiling the figures showing
the deaths and injuries incident to the
Fourth of July celebrations. The fig
ures for the late Independence Day
show a slight falling OFF in the cas-
ualties. showing a more sane observ-
ance OF the day than usual. yet the
list foots up thirty-two deaths and two
thousand injuries. some of them per-
haps of a fatal nature.
When We consider the immense pop
ulation of the United States. and that
the celebration in noisy manner of
the Fourth of July is generally look
ed on as part of the patriotic duty
OF all Americans. we might look on
this as very limited number of cas-
ualties. but at the same time we may
well ask what Is tha use of all these
deaths and injuries? To most of the
older generation all this noise and
smoke and fire looks like a wholly
idiotic performance. but 1t doesn't look
that way to the average American
pOJ. Ills ancestors Tor generations
back have devoted this day to noise
and smoke. and he feels 1t incumbent
on him to follow their example. He
has always been accustomed to shoot
ing off fre-crackers and other explos-
Ives on the Fourth without being
harmed and can see no reason why he
should discontinue the fun. as he con-
siders It; therefore. he explodes and
probably loses an eye or a finger. II

One peculiar feature about It Is that
although this manner Of celebrating is
not as general as 1t once was the list
Of injuries Is comparatively much
greater This is not because boys are
more careless or reckless than in
former days. but because OF the more
dangerous materials of which the ex-
plosives are composed. Half a century
or more ago the average boy could
get nothing but plain crackers. and
these were comparatively harmless. A
finger might be torn or an eve scorch-

Vancouver's historic old Balm of
Gilead tree, to which Lewis and Clark
are said to have tied their canoe in
1905, and which marked the landing
point of the Hudson Bay Company of
fur traders in 1894, fell a victim to
the waters Of the Columbia River this

This old tree which stood on the
bank of the river at the foot of Main
street. was the starting point for all
early surveys in Clark county and the
western portion of Washington State.
1t marked the point where the city

across at its crown. A copper rail-
