willametet river at the foot of Union

that 1t was the intention of the rail-

reconstructed here, but this has been
dispelled by the positive statement
from Mr., Gerlinger that the bridge win

wouldn't 1t be a good scheme to

the board Of the Monmouth school
came to the legislature to get the
state to give 1t the name Of the State
Normal, they said that they didn't
ask for any appropriation, but the
very next legislature here, they came
for an appropriation, but still they
come-want more and more. The
poor people have been taxed to edu-
cate the rich mans children long
enough, as a poor mans children
never enter those schools. If we
must have an appropriation, l am in
favor Of giving 1t to the district
schools.
| see that we have plenty of men out
to represent us In the legislature.
They appear to all be for economy
and lower taxes, but when they are
elected, the most Of them will want
from one to three clerks, and vote
for every appropriation that comes
up. There is a great fight on now
for an automobile highway through
this state. would like TO ask our
governor and the Portland automo-

Fortunately the human skull, al.

says the Scientific American, is so
elastic that it may be compressed
literally in diameter by a blow or by
pressure, applied at the center Of area,
at right angles to the surface at that
point, by one and a half centimeters or
about six-tenths Of an inch, recovering
it's original diameter and form without

OF THE RASPBERRY
Cultivation 10 the Same In Many Re-
!: spects az Strawberry-Protection
!; Of Cane In Winter.

iBy J.. H. WORST, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.)
The cultivation of the raspberry is
lthe same in many respects as that
iof the strawberry. The same sort Of
Isoil ia required and considering the
length of time the plants are to, oc-
Icupy the ground, it INST be rich and
deep.
The red raspberry is propagated by
suckers which should be planted at a
depth Of four or five inches in rows
about four by six feet apart.
: The black caps are grown from tips
which should be planted only an inch
or two deep and at the same distance
apart as the others.
During the first season the land set
to berries may be planted to beans
or other small hoed crop.
In the spring, one year after plant
ing, cut OF all the canes close to the
ground. allowing I'VE new canes to
grow to each hill. AS soon az these
are three feet high, pinch of the tips
of the canes. This will cause them to
send outside branches which should
not be allowed to become more than
a foot long. On these branches,
toward the close Of the season, fruit
buds will form ready to blossom and
produce fruit the following season.

every potato before it goes into the

the big, smooth potatoes. I sell more
baked potatoes than any two restau-

OUR PLANETARY SYSTEM.

Seen From tho Nearest Fixed Star Il
Would Be a Tiny speck.
It is only when we regard our globe
as a member Of the planetary system.
and that system in turn as a unit
among the systems, that we realize
how inflnitesimal are Its concerns and
how relatively Insignificant It Is.
We may for practical purposes treat
the orbit Of Neptune as the circumfer-
enc Of u planetary system and state
the diameter Of It therefore as about
b,4S8. 100000 miles.
But II We could suppose all this +vast
plane converted into a solid disk in.
stead Of being, as now, for the most
part empty space. and II to 1t were
then given by some means or other a
slightly luminous surface. it would ap-
pear to the observer upon the very
nearest fixed star no more pretent1ous
than a new twenty-five cent piece gilt
tering in the sunshine would appear to
an observer at a distance Of something
" a hundred yards.
We may safely say, then, for those
who concern themselves with the
earth's loss Of heat, that the annual
thermal loss of our own little sphere,
though sufficient to melt TT cubic
miles Of ice, would, eve though multi
piled by centuries of centuries, no more
affect the temperature Of space than
the striking of a match would avail to
moderate the climate of Siberia.-Har-
