Holiday Week at Cashmere.

A good time seems to be the motto
here this week, especially among the
young people.
Monday night a merry sleighing
party drove down to Will Bordew's
at Monitor. In the party were Misses
Edna Burbank, Lois Barnes, Claribel
and Louise Amos and Messrs Carl
Dotson, Jack Angler, Charley and
Harrison Amos. The evening was
spent in music. Charley took his
trombone and Harrison his clarinet.
/ These with Mr.. Bordow's cornet and
Mrs. Bordow's piano made pretty
music and with Miss Pearl to lean
the soprano they had good vocal
music too Coffee and sandwiches
were served and jolly good time
enjoyed by all.
Tuesday evening Miss Ruby and
Ina Long entertained the Christian
Endeavor. The same night few of
Charley Burbark's friends drove out
to Dryden to surprise him and his
bride. They were surprised that they
did not come about two weeks sooner.
Some horns accompanied the party,
but they were not the highest grade
of musical instruments. Charley and
wife made them welcome, however,
and there was mutual entertainment.
Wednesday evening a select dance
of a great many nice people of the
valley was given at Grant Paton's.
It was a benefit dane for family
who have had much sickness and a
death this winter.
Thursday evening sleigh load of
young folks went to Monitor to at
tend the Literary club there.

yesterday afternoon which he will not
soon forget. The wonder is that he
is still alive after his icy bath in the
Wenatchee river. He and Charley
Wilson, who are employed by the
mill company and usually work
about the river. were engaged in cut
ting the ice out of the waste gates
in the big dam, which, when the
gates are closed, backs the water up
to the mill. Just moment before
he fell in, South himself remarked
to Mr.. Wilson that he had better
get off the ice as it was likely to
break through, and then got out on
the ice himself to cut loose some

Build Power Unit at Priest RAPIDS

Hanford, Dec. 31.-The Hanford
Irrigation and Power company is as
sembling machinery and material for
the development of its power at
Priest rapids, in the Columbia river
A large wing dam is to be built at
the head of the channel to divert the
water into the canal that furnishes
the power. A large steam shovel,
dinky engines, cars and track have
been shipped to Beverly on the Mil
waukee and from there taken down
the river on barges to the rapids.
The power this dam will furnish
will add another unit to the plant now
at Priest rapids. The machinery for
this unit has been shipped from the
Chambers works at Scranton,
Pa, and is expected to arrive in two
weeks.

to the rear of the cave; on either side
of it there is platform Or bed Of
the original rock some eight inches to
a foot higher than the floor; these
platforms are usually bordered by a
narrow rim Or margin IL to 2 inches
wide rising above their general level.
While this form may perhaps be con-
s1dered typical many of the caves
hays but one platform or bed instead
of two; very few have three, the
third transverse with reference to the
others and at the rear of the apart
ment. Of course, where there is but a
single platform-bed the flooring of the
central aisle is extended over the re-
naming section Of the room. The
chambers range perhaps from six to
eight feet square to twelve; the usual
height at the highest part is from six
to seven feet. At the Office we had
seen some ancient pots-presumably
found in connection with the caves
We had time to examine perhaps
twenty Of these curious affairs. Per-
sonally we are inclined to believe with
Tsuboi, and against almost general
contrary opinion, in the idea that
they were dwelling-places originally.
1t was no uncommon thing among
cave-dwelling peoples for the old cave
to be afterwards used for burial pur-
poses, and it is possible that such has
been the case in this locality. But,
that the chambers were originally
made for living and not dead per-
sons. seems to US quite clear. The
fact that practically all Of the nearly
400 caves face southwark is a strong
argument for this point of view; the
living call for the suns warmth and
light; the dead need no heat The
raised platforms usually bordered by
a narrow elevated margin seem to
US intended for beds or sleeping
places They are curiously like the
japanese tokonoma. If, as has been ;
claimed, the Japanese name toxic
noma" means a sleeping place It
would not be inappropriate to apply /.

By PROF. FREDERICK STARR
The CQues of Konosu.

Less than two hours by rail brought
MS to Konosu, from which point we
took basha. A basha is an ugly one
horse wagon, with a wooden cover;
passengers enter from the rear by
means Of a step; the driver sits on
front seat: two seats run lengthWise
of the body Of the vehicle, each suf-
Gcient for three medium-siz Jap
hnese; six passengers, then, is the
supposed and intended limit of ca
pacity, and for comfort they should
be little passengers. The basha was
waiting close by the station, two pas
sengers already in their seats. The
driver had load Of freight with him
In front, and when we stepped in he
started promptly On the six or seven
mile drive that lay before him. We
ourselves were bound for the famous
caves five miles from Konosu village,
and little before the terminus of the
basha line. We had gone no great
distance before we picked up two
more passengers, and our little wagon
was more than comfortably filled. We
code out through a level country occu-
pied by rice fields. 1t is the time Of
rice harvest In al the little fields
men, women and children were busy.
Horses were being brought in, loaded
down with sheaves of the yellowed
grain. In yards about houses and out
houses shocks were spread out to dry.
Handfuls of the loaded stalks were
taken and drawn through coarse metal
combs to separate the grains; these
still in the husk were further cleaned
by failing with fails quite like those
of Europe of hundred years gone
by. Two or three or more persons
Lhreshed in unison or alternately, and
O pretty sight it was to see the move
ment of the falling instrument and to
note the rhythm
When it had accomplished half it's
course, the basha stopped for it's
midway rest An old woman brought
put a tabako-bon at which the passen-
gers might warm their hands or light

thirty years ago and public attention
called to them by Professor Tsuboi
of the Imperial university. There
has been a good deal of discussion in
regard to their use. Tsuboi himself
believes that they were dwelling
places, and attributes them to a pre-
Ainu population. Most writer's, how
ever, among them Aston and Basil
Hall Chamberlain, consider them the
burial places Of an olden time. They
have been taken possession Of by the
public authorities and are maintained
at government expense. Stopping at
the office where we paid the trifing
fee demanded from visitors, amounting
to one cent of our own money, We be-
gan to climb about the face Of the
white cliff. It is perhaps 100 to $50
feet in height Chamberlain says that
it is "a gray, tufaceous sandstone"
which we are in no position to deny.
1t is soft, especially when moist and
not exposed to the open air; it is
probable that it is easily excavated by
means Of cutting instrument
knife, or even spade. The cliff pre-
sents itself in two slightly separated
faces exposed to the midday sun; that
is, facing southwark. Where dry and
long exposed the material is almost
chalky white and nearly hard. At
the base and on the summit Of the
ridge and on the slopes beyond the
exposed cliff faces there is a growth
of pines sprinkled with naples,
the latter of which were in fine color
ing. There is comparatively little
diversity in the caves. They have
rectangular openings ranging from
~ To feet or SO in height and
of somewhat lesser breadth. Very
commonly there is ledge or platform
preceding the doorway and excavated
from the mass itself; passing through
