The American Nile.

For some 1000 miles the great
Corado River sweeps diagonally a.
cross the country from the high
mountain plateau Of Wyoming and
Colorado to the farthest southwest
corner Of the United States. The
basin droined by the Colorado and
its tributaries is about BOO, 900 square
miles in area, and much oft is of
high industrial and scenic interest.
The Colorado basin comprises two
distinct portions. The lower third
is but little above the level of the
sea, though here and there in it
ranges of mountains rise to the ell
vations Of 2, 1000 to6 900 feet.
This part Of the valley is bounded
on the north by line of cliffs which
present bold and in many places
vertical step Of hundreds or 1hous-
ands Of feet to the lakeland above.
The upper two-thirds Of the basin
stands from 1000 to s, 1000 feet a.
bove the level andis boredredon the
east, west, and north by ranges Of
snow-clad mountains, which attain
attitudes ranging from 5000 to
1900 feet. Through this plateau
the Colorado and its tributaries
have cut narrow gorges or canyons
ia which they flow at almost in
accessible depths. At points where
lateral streams enter, the canyons
are broken by marrow TRAVERSE
valleys. The whole upper bosin Of
is traversed by labyrinth of these
canyons, many Of which are dry
during the greater portion Of the
year and carry water only during
the melting Of the snow and the
brief periods Of the antumnal and
spring rains.
In the lower portion Of the river
strongly resembles the Nile, having
annual floods which distrute silt
over the adjoining lands and render
them as fertile as those in the his
toric valley of North Africa. The
Colorado and its tributaries are not

LINE FOX SOILS

Mr.. O. 9. Rostell, Marble, Wash.
ington, writes as follows: pleas,
let me know if our mountains o.
lines rock here in Stevens county
could be utilized for commercial
fertilizer by grinding it fine without
first burning.
Unburned but finely ground lime
stone IS best for correcting soil acidity
The use of lime on soils is beneficial
in places where calcium is deficient.
Some crops require more calcium
than others. This is especially true
Of clovers, alfalfa, and other leg
luminous crops.
Whether the soil requires calcium
depends upon its conditions, and this
can be determined by one or two
methods either by aclose exanina-
ton Of the plant growth or BY the use
Of litmus paper. II you find horse
sorre1 present in large quantities it
indicates that your soil requires
calcium; also, if clovers donotgrow
we'll that is an indication that cal
cium IS lacking.
By the use of litmus papers, which
may bepurchased at almost any drug
store, you viii be able to determine
whether your soil is acid Take a
small quantity Of moist soil and press
it around the paper for ten Or fifteen
minutes. If the blue paper isturned
to a pinkish or redish color, it will
indicate that your soils acid and an
application Of lime will be beneficial.
Thereare several Cat least ten form
Of commercial lime ON the market.
The best form to use is finely ground
limestone. First: because tits cheap
est, and, second: the effect on the
humus isnot 50 serious as with other
forms Of lime especially caustic or
quick lime. The action of fined
ground limestone in its attack on the
vegetable matter is less noticeable
than with other forms Of lime. The
amounts to apply depend on how
badly your soil requires calcium, and
also upon the availan e, supply of,
lime stone. We have known of in
stances where as high as eight tons
have been applied to the acre with
resulei and as a ton or a ton and al
has been used very satisfactorily
The usual amount varies from three
to six tons to the acre. This material
should be supplied to the surface
after the seed bed is prepared, and
narrowed in by the use Of Il peg
tooth or a disk harrow It may be,
scatterd by the use Of a manure
spreader; in fact, this is the usual
machine for applying finely ground
limestone.

Jeannette Jewell Kellogg.

The number of readers on the ly-
ceum and chautauqua platform is very
great: the number of readers who give
continued satisfaction and measure up
to the highest standards is very small.
Mrs. Kellogg belongs to the small
number of those who can go to any
course or chautauqua, give high
class program, and please everybody,
One fact-that where she is once
heard she is usually recalled at
HIGHER price-is the best evidence OF
her ability to make good both from
the business and the artistic point OF
view
Her manner is entirely natural, her
bearing dignifed, yet graceful, her
delivery faithful to the authors senti-
ments, drawing forth smiles and
laughter, Or hushed silence and SYM
pathetic tears.
In all her work she has a purpose
to make people better by the great
thoughts presented, happier by bring
ing sunshine into their lives, and rich
er by the intellectual feast enjoyed.
She has something for the most in
ta1lectual and also something for the
work-a-day world.
The Wesley Class of Central church
has secured Mrs. Kellogg for Tuesday
night, April 9, at the opera house, and
it is hoped that large crowd will take
advantage of this opportunity to hear
this reader of unquestioned ability
