Reports from all over Lincoln
county indicate that there will be a
heavy fruit crop this year. The
frosts of a few weeks past seemed to
have done but very little, if any,
damage. Strawberries and other
early fruits will be little late but
the yield will BIZ good.
Lebanon will hold a strawberry
festival for three days beginning
June /, The Garden City" as
Lebanon is known, will also have a
rose show and horse and stock ex-
hibition in connection with the car
nival.
Rains of the past week have been
hailed with delight by all sections
of the state. Eastern Oregon has
welcomed the showers for they were
needed to supply moisture to the
grain fields. All other sections re-
port that the rainfall makes crop
prospects particularly bright.
A sane Fourth of July is prom
ised for Portland. 1t is now the in
tention to make a quiet one, with
out the usual noisy features that are
usually so prominent in the ohser-
vance of the Independence Day.
People of the city for the most part
plan to spend the Fourth in the
country and to enjoy picnics and
outings in the fields and woods
within reach of Portland.
To aid the development of the
Northwest states, from Minnesota
to the Coast, delegates from the
section interested met during the
past week at Helena, Montana, and
took steps to form the Northwest
Development League. 1t will ex-
plot the states Of Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Montana, North and
South Dakota, Minnesota and the
territory of Alaska. Meetings will
be held each June and December
to be known as the Northwest De.
velopment League Congress. The
December meeting will be held il
Minnesota, in connection with the
big land show. The 1912 congres.
will meet in Seattle.

HOW THEY DO I'M WISCONSIN

Believing that the newspapers are the
best means of reaching and teaching the
people, the Wisconsin legislature is pro-
viding for an initial appropriation of
900, 600, and ultimately of an expendi-
ture of $3.50, 600 for the purchase of space
IN newspapers in which to have the
University of Wisconsin to give to the
people of the state the results of the
latest investigation as well as general in
formation concerning agriculture, dairy
ing, public health, municipal problems,
sanitation, good roads and similar SUBJ
jects of local aud state interest. And al
the same time the Wisconsin legislature
is recognizing the importance of the
newspapers to the state, the South Da-
kota legislature Is trying to kill them off
and substitute pamphlets as q better
means Of publicity. There is evidently

LoND0N's HISTORIC TOWER.
And the Egg From Which Was Hatch
ed tAs Great Charter.

Richard Davey in The Tower of
London" connects the historic edlice
with the wrestling of the great charter
from King John.
King John, it would seem, though le-
gally married to Isabella of Angou-
leme, fell desperately in love in 1214
with Matilda" or Maud" 1.-The Fair
the beautiful daughter OF Robert, Lord
FitZwalter This lady, remaining deaf
TO his entreatieS, was treacherOusly
abducted from her fathers seat at
Dunmow by the kings order and shut
up in the round turret of the White
tower. On this FitZwalter made a
vain attempt to rouse the people to re-
volt, but was forced TO fly to France
with his wife and remaining children
Maud once safe in the tower, King
John renewed his suit, but only sue
ceeded in driving her to utter silence,
which so infuriated him that he sent
her a poisoned egg for her breakfast,
and she died early In 1916. A year
later her remains were translated to
the family vault at Dunmow.
When the news of this crafty mur
der came to the ears of FitZwalter he
forthwith returned to England and
discovered to his Joy that the barons
were on the point Of declaring war
against John. He at once placed him
self at their head, hoping, it is said, to
combine his personal revenge with his
duty as an English peer and is indeed
supposed to have forced the king to
sign the great charter for the express
purpose OF humillating his daughters
murderer Thus from an egg was
Matched the great charter. Whether
the story be true or false, It is a GER
tilted historical fact that the barons
held the tower in pledge till John con-
sented to accept the charter and af-
fixed his reluctant signature to the
deed.
About year later, when the war
with the barOns was at its height and
John once more power, the tower
again fell into his hands, and, though
the barons laid siege to 1t, they were
repulsed by the kings men. To CON-
plete its strange vicissitudes during
this strenuous reign the tower became
on Nov. l, 1915, the temporary court
of King Louis of France, whom the
rebellious barons had summoned 20
assist in the adjustment of their grfev-
ances. Appearing before the gates
with a large body Of men, he SO COM
e4etely awed the officials that they
handed over the keys without striking
a blow for their rightfuI monarch.

FREAKS or A RIVER.
A Stream So Crooked That 1t Double
Crosses Itself


There is a stream in Massachusetts
called the North river. 1t starts in a
pond near Hanson and runs to the sea
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate, and the river
is forty miles long.
This river is probably the most re-
markable body of water, barring the
Dead sea, on this footstool and has
stood more abuse and bad language
than the Chicago river. When the tide
is coming In the river runs upstream,
and not only that, but the upper part
of it, which is fresh water, also runs
up, and the spectacle of fresh water
river beating 1t uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself. But there Is
much more to 1t than that.
The North river Is noted for being
the scene OF the last Indian raid on the
coast settlements. 1t Is notable for
having given birth to the ship Colum-
bia, whose captain discovered and
named the Columbia river, and was
the first American vessel to circum-
navigate the world. 1t is notorious for
having suddenly changed its mind on
its course on the night of Novel,, 1898,
when 1t moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town Of
Marshleld with deep harbor, killed
three men and converted about 100000
acres of prime meadow land into salt
marsh.
But the chief thing about this river
is its crookedness. This river is SO
crooked that it double crosses itself.
II you don't believe 1t go and see.
There is one place in Hanover where
by making three loops the river moves
toward the sea for distance Of al
most fifty feet and meanders about
for ffteen miles in doing it-Boston
Traveller.

GARAGE SHOULD BE- CLEAN.
How to Care For an Auto So Expenses
VIII BE Kept Down.

Cleanliness in the garage is essential
10 the well being of ones car. Next
to that cleanliness in keeping the car
Is most to be desired. The first of
these two important points can only
be secured when planning the build
ing, and 1t is one that the owner win
do well to look out for.
The draining of the floor should al.
ways incline toward the center and
should be of cesspool pattern Be
low the opening there should be a re.
ceptacle to catch all grease and dirt
and with it grit chamber. These
should be carefully looked after so as
to guard against any obstruction.
A good thing to keep the garage
floor clean is hot, saturated solution
Of common washing soda, which can.
If wanted for use frequently. he made
up in large quantities and stored
away, IL this is done however the
solution must be reheated to, about
boiling point before making use of Ii.
This will. of course, be too hot for the

Another preparation as good, If not
better, that can be used for this pur-
pose is trisulphate Of sodium, which
can be procured from several chemi-
cal companies, priced at from to :
cents per pound This solution, al

than the first solution in that it can be
used cold
For cleaning the body Of car the
use Of netadlessly strong alkaii soap
should be condemned. This, with neg
lect to wash off the soap and failure
to dry the vanished surface perfectly,
is responsible for great deal Of the
injury done to cars paint As a
matter Of fact. neither soap nor water
should ever be used on a car above
the undersides of the mud guards, ex-
cept in cases where the mud is caked
on the body i'm large quantities.
In most cars the first signs Of wear
of the painted portion invariably show

that 1t is frequently covered with mud
on the return from Il run and is then
washed with soapy water while the
metal is still hot. Soap should not he
used on the bonnet until it has cooled
and even then should he carefully
washed off. After n number of wash
tngs while the bonnet is still hot the
injurious effect is quite noticeable, and
within short period the car has to
be repainted long before its legitimate
time.
The problem OF clean hands is fire.
quently difficult question with own-
ers OF autos who do any of their own
driving or repairing. The use Of
mixture OF soap powder and powdered
pumice is recommended. The proper.
tion OF the ingredients can only be de-

individual. This last fact, of course.
precludes its being kept in stock any
length OF time.
