An open river rally was held at
Pasco recently, when representatives
of the leading commercial organizations
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
tributary to the Columbia and Snake
rivers got together and discussed ways
and means for getting benefits from
the Panama Canal. By improving the
Columbia, it is urged that cheap out
let for the crops Of the region will be
assured. The government has made
several surveys and declares it feasible
to make the waterway navigable to the
international boundary, on reasonable
expenditure. The Pasco rally was to
inaugurate a concerted movement.

Looking upon that tranquil flood
"How sweetly does the moonoeam sHn'e
Tonight upon yon leafy isle!

And we, within its fairy bowers.
Were waited OF 10 seas unknown,
Where not a pulse should beat but ours.

Far from the cruel and the cold.
Where the bright eyes of angels only
Should come around us to behold
A paradise so pure and lonely.

Remarkable Record for Railroad Travel

hNSoto bVt Nus"oee
Superior Judge James c. Rives Of
Los Angeles County, California, holds
a remarkable record for travel over one
line of railroad. Judge Rives lives in
the town of Downey, little more than
IL miles from Los Angeles, and every
week day for twenty-seven years he
has travelled back and forth between
these two points. He holds the re-
cord of more than 100000 miles Of
travel over that section Of track and he
has seen that piece Of roadbed built
and rebuilt dozen times, the equip
ment worn out and replaced as often
and has never met with even the
slightest accident. During all of this
time the schedule of this train has moi
changed over ten minutes. Judge
Rives has been a resident of Downey
for 43 years.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST
Congress Takes up Consideration of the
WiCkersham BiIl-0pen River Rally
Held at PaSCO

Congress has taken up considera-
ton of the Wickersham bill for Alas
kan home rule. 1t provides for terri
torial government and an elective leg
islature. For long time, the people
of the North have been contending
that they should be permitted to gov
ern themselves and considering that
this privilege has been granted to all
the other territories, they are certainly
entitled to it. Many congressman have
have expressed themselves as favorable
to the bill and it is believed that it
will be adopted at the present session
of congress.
Edward E. Cushman has been
named as federal judge for Western
Washington, to succeed Judge Don
worth, who retires on account OF i'll
health. At present Cushman is on
the bench in Alaska, where he has
made good record. The new ap
pointment is in the nature OF promo
ton because OF his proved efficiency.
The late Francis w. Cushman, con-
gresham from the first district, was a
brother of Judge Cushman. The lat
ter has long been resident OF the
Pacific Northwest. He will now prob
ably take up his permanent residence
in Seattle. Congressman w. E. Hum
phrey was first named for the place,
but was objected to by many persons.
A special session OF the Legislature
Of Washington to authorize submitting
to the people a proposition to bond
the State for SIS, 100000, to build a
system of trunk highways by 1915, is
the desire of the men backing up the
good roads campaign recently started
by ]. E. Chilberg. A dinner recently
held in Seattle and attended by prom
inent people from all over the state
favored the proposal, provided the
Legislators can be pledged to take up
no other matters. E. c. Hughes, ].
J. Donovan and Scott G. Bone were
named as committee to draft the
highway bill. 1t is urged that Wash
ington should have these improve
ments completed in time for the In
ternational Panama-Pacifc Exposition
in San Francisco in 1915, so as to get
some of the benefits of the tourist
travel that will follow.

The EVERLASTING LIGHT.

A II, sad are they who know not love,
"A But, far from passions tears and
smiles.
Drift down a moonless sea beyond
The silvery coasts of fairy isles!
And sadder those whose longing lips
Kiss empty air and never touch
The dear warm mouth of those they love.
Waiting, wasting, suffering much!
But clear as amber, fine as musk
Is life to those who. pilgrimwise,
Move hand In hand from dawn to dusk.
Each morning nearer paradise.
Oh not for them shall angels pray!
They stand in everlasting flight.
They walk in Allah's smile by day
And nestle in his heart by night
Thomas Bailey Aldrich.

Buttermaking on the Farm

A recent Popular Bulletin Of the
State EXPERIMENT Station at Pullman
(No. AID gives the following advice:
Butter made from a single herd of
cows in small dairy located on the
farm should command the highest
price of any butter on the market.
Where one man has control OF all the
process through which the milk goes
to the time it is printed as butter,
the product should be the best OBJ
tainable, if this one man understands
the principle and the art Of buttermak-
ing.
The first essential in making good
butter is good cream. To get this sim
ply means to take ordinary precautions
regarding clean cows and barn, clean
attendants and clean utensils; and
then cooling the cream at once after
separating, either by running it over a
cooler, or by setting in running cold
water and stirringr Cream should not
be stored with any substance having
an aroma.
Sweet cream churns hard and gives
butter having a fiat taste. To sour,
or ripen the cream, first heat it to
about 70 deg. =. (use thermometer)
and let it stand until it has mild but
distinctly acid taste; or, second, add
some sour milk or buttermilk (starter)
to start the ripening, at the same time
holding it at 70 deg. The best cream
for churning is that which tests about
thirty per cent fat after the starter has
been added.
The temperature at which the cream
should be churned depends on the
size Of fat globules, age OF cream,
amount OF cream, percentage OF fat in
cream, kind Of feed the COW is getting,
and this cannot be determined except
by trial. Thirty-fve degrees may be
proper on one farm and so degrees on
the one adjoining. A good rule to
follow is to have the butter come
about the size of wheat kernels in
about thirty to forty minutes. If it
takes longer the cream is either too
sweet or at too low temperature, or
the churn is too full. II it comes
sooner than thirty minutes, the tenn
perature is too high.
While the granules are about the
size of wheat, the buttermilk should be
drained, the granules washed and the
salt added. Then they are worked to-
gether, only enough to distribute the
salt evenly. When the churn is not
stopped until the granules become
large, some of the buttermilk is en-
cased and it makes butter of poor
keeping quality.
Notifies in butter are caused by an
uneven distribution Of salt in the pres
ence of buttermilk.

Seattle's publicity bureau is going

one that is falling while its percentage
of births is growing. Climatic conditions
are to be advertised far and wide, as no
where is there more freedom from the
