Athens Saved by Poetry.

When 4. &. iU4 after heroic strrIg-
gle, Athens. the City of the Violet
Crown" was captured by Lysander
there were not wanting clamorous
voices to urge that the city whose lust
for empire had brought such woes on
Greece ought to be laid level with the
ground.
The Spartan general at first lent a
willing ear to his powerful allies. but
while the council was still debating
this momentous issue plaintive voice
was heard from the city walls chant
ing those noble lines from the "Elec-
ira of Euripides. that most human
of the poets of Greece. in which the
heroine contrasts her fallen lot with
the splendid exploits Of her father,
who had dismantled the towers OF
Troy.
Lysander bent his head and pom
dered on fortunes cruel reverses. Tri-
umphant as Agamemnon, who coulc
tell but that he might be reserved for
a fate as cruel? The lesson Of mod.
GRAFTON was accepted. Athens was
saved.
Milton has immortaliZed this dramat-
ic event in one of his best known sol.
nets:
The repeated air
OF sad Electra's poet had the power
To save the Athenian walls from ruin
bare.

On the Moon.

The question Gould a man live on
the moon?' has been put to an emil
nent astronomer. who replied: Il am
afraid not.e A man transplanted to the
moon would find himself the lone in
habitant of perfectly lifeless orb in
which eternal silence reigns. He
would have to manage without air,
water or fire. He would not need TO
put windows in his house. for there is
no wind, no rain. no dust, upon the
moon. 1t has been truly and practical
ly observed that the moon is apparent
" abandoned to death. nourishing no
inhabitants. producing nothing reSem-
bling trees, flowers or beautiful things
of any kind-useless, in short, except
as a mass of extinct volcanic rubbish.

DEATH OF HENRY AShUSSEN.

The residents of Payette were
shocked beyond measure to learn
that Henry Asmussen died at the
hospital in Boise on Friday after
noon as a result of injuries sus-
tained in the wreck at Arcadia on
Wednesday of last week. When
first taken to Boise it was not
thought his injuries would result
fatally but examination proved
that while in the steam filled car
he had inhaled sufficient hot
steam as to make his recovery
doubtful, On Friday telephone
call was sent to Mrs. Asmussen
and she went at once to Boise to
be with her husband. He passed
away about four o'clock that after
noon after having patiently suf-
fered intense pain from his exter-
nal and internal injuries. The re-
mains were brought to Payette
Saturday and on Wednesday SER
vices were conducted at the Sweed-
ish Lutheran church by Rev. Tes-
ter of Ogden and interment was
made in the Riverside cemetery.
The large crowd attending the SER
vices and the beautiful floral Of
ferings were mute testimony of
the esteem in which the deceased
was held To know Henry AS
mussen was to respect him. Quiet
by nature he was thought by some
to be unapproachable but beneath
that quiet exterior was sterling
integrity and cordial disposition
that won for him the friendship
of all who came in social or busi-
ness contact with him.

ENGINEER AND

So Says Board of Inquiry TAX
ing Testimony as to Cause of
Wreck at Arcadia - Lays
Blame for Accident on Freight
Engineer and Head Brake
man-Block Signals Worked
Perfectly.

The following official report of the
inquiry made by Short Line officials
into the cause of the wrecking of the
Pony at Arcadia on Wednesday of
last week has been sent out from the
office of the superintendent of the Id
aho division at Pocatello and fixes tn
blame for the disaster on the engin-
eer and head brakeman of the
freight crew.
Report of board of inquiry held in
the office of the superintendent of Id
aho division at Pocatello, Idaho, p.
m Saturday, January 18th, 1910, to
in, ostigate cause OF accident to train
No. p and extra west engine 904
at Arcadia, Oregon at S:19 p. m. Jan
uary 18th 1910.
We, the board of inquiry assembled
to determine the cause of an accident
at Arcadia, Oregon, between west
bound train No. q and extra west No
904 at S:19 p, m. January 18th, find
that extra west 904 arrived at Arcadi
"a minutes ahead of train No. 27, stop
ped at east switch and pulled in on
passing siding and stopped with the
train fully clear of the main track.
Later engineer Chase became doubt
full as to whether or not the rear of
his train extra west 904 was clear
the main track Seeing there was
considerable distance clear In advance
on siding, and without signals from
anyone he started ahead. He con-
tinued until he fouled the main track,
just after No. q had entered the linn
it's of the block signals In which the
accident occurred. The fouling of the
main line resulted In train No. q
striking engine 904 at the west end
of the Arcadia passing track.
After hearing the testimony of the
crews of both trains We find that en-
gineer Chase and brakeman Buckley
OF extra west 904 were negligent in
not stopping their train beford fouling
the main track,
We further find that the automatic
block signals were working perfectly,
giving true and correct indication of
each train movement.

Warehouse.coIiapses.

Wednesday morning Of this week
the warehouse in which J, a. Lauer
& Brother had their complete stock
of buggies wagons and implements
stored, collapsed because OF too
great an accumulation Of snovi on the
roof and as a result almost the entire
contents Of the building were ruined.
The loss sustained viii reach in the
neighborhood Of 81, 600 The strue-
ture was frame affair covered with
sheet iron. The slight fall of snow
on last Wednesday night together
with that already on the roof proved
too much and the roof went in taking
the heavy machinery which was stor-
ed up stairs through onto the fine
buggies and wagons below. The build
ing was a complete wreck and almost
every article stored in it is damag-
ed to a greater or less extent while
some Of the bnggles and wagons were
smashed to kindling wood.

I csc, has in this country been
attempted upon but few varieties OF
apples. the most Notable success in
this line being the propagation Bis
marck dwarf, an introduction from
New ZealandI and some others OF
naturally low and compact growth,
the scions of which are grated upon
the roots of what is known as Para
disc stock, valueless except for this
purpose.
The earlier American orchards
were grown mainly from seeds
as space in the small sailing vessels
of 800 years ago could scarcely be
afforded for bulky packages and
trees, even in a dormant condition,
would have had difficulty in surviv-
ing in moldy holds for such lengthy
voyages.
Throughout the middle west seed
liugs were started in hundreds Of
localities by that benevolent and
prDyident eccentric, Johnny Apple
seed, and it has always been mat
ter of surprise as well as congratula-
ton to all concerned how many of
our most excellent varieties originat-
ed from those widely scattered seeds.
Within the last 100 years al tie
moNst highly cstceE- Fag.ctles in
England and Continental Europe, haze
been introduced and tested in this
country and while some did not seem
20 adapt themselves to the natural
conditions of the localities in which
they were planted, others have
shown marked improvemnt in their
new environment.
To attempt to indicate the various
characteristics of the numerous var
ieties now in cultivation, would of
course, be beyond the scope Of the
present paper.
During the latter part of the first
half of the Nineteenth Century, a.
J. Downing, the most illustrious
erudite pomologist Of his period, in
his comprehensive and most valuable
work on the Fruits and Fruit Trees
Of America" states that at the time
of writing more than 1880 distinct
kinds of apples were in cultivation
nj this country.
AS that was more than sixty years
ago and the science Of pomology
has made great progress in the inter
val, it would be reasonable to sup
pose that the number would now be
far greater, except for the fact that
much elimination has taken place in
recent years.
Downing wrote before the era Of
large commercial orchards and at a
time when the ambition Of the fruit
grower was in the direction Of the
greatest number Of varieties that his
acreage would accommodate, rather
than in the superiority in quality
and productiveness of the yield,
whereas, at the present day, these
two attributes are the principal con-
sideration and have resulted in very
close restriction to a comparatively
few popular and profitable sorts, so
that probably Downing's numbers
have been diminished rather than
augmented.-Farm Progress.
