a long stretch of the Upper
Columbia and Snake rivers to navi-

be an important link in the great
scheme of inland waterways. Upon
this arm of the sea have fioated the
ships that were with Dewey at Ma

The commerce of the world enters its

The Columbia is the only fresh
water harbor on the Northwest coast
OF our states With its tributaries it
drains a region larger than the com
bined areas of New England, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Maryland. More than this, it IS the
scenic wonder of the Northwest. Its
gorge is stupendous and its mighty
current puts to shame even the Mis-

been only within the past two or

The car used Wednesday has engines

Unlike the.usual passenger coaches,
the entrance to this car is on the side,
at the centre, and the windows are
round, like the portfolios of Il ship.
The crew Of the regular passenger

A bill requiring all male applicants
for marriage license in the State to
file with the comfy clerk a certificate
OF health has been passed by the In
diana House of Representatives. The
Governor is opposed TO it because it
will rob marriage OF it's romance.
While this particular bill may be in
advance of the times, there is some
reason to believe that a little more
judgment and little less romance
would have tendency to cut down
the divorce rate.
