THREE GREAT STATES.
The Slender Thread by Which They
 Were Tied to the Union.


 A few words of hurried. conver- sation between two French settlers had an important part in deciding the question whether the far north western territory, from which the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho were formed, should belong to Great Britain or the United States. A monument at Champoeg, on the Willamette river, marks the spot where this interesting episode look place. Mr. Theodore T. Geer, formerly governor of Oregon, tells nbout it in his book, Fifty Years In Oregon and quotes from the story of F. X. Matthieu. who saved the day for the United States.
 On threatening, cloudy May day in 1913 1O2 settlers and Hudson bay trappers, coming from near and far, crowded into a log building at Champoeg and held a stormy meeting. The Americans stood for an organized government and &C., quisition of the territory by the United States. The Hudson bay men stood as firmly opposed, and when vote was taken it was hard to tell which had won. since a good many on both sides were crowded about the doors. unable to push their way inside.
 A division was called for. and to make this possible the men rushed out to the little half acre field in front of the building. There every

THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
An Eastern Legend Says the Serpent Tempted Eve With a Banana.

An Eastern Legend Says the Serpent
 Tempted Eve With a Banana.
 There exists a legend relative to
 the Christian inhabitants of the
 east that they believed the banana
 to be the tree of the source of good
 and evil, in a bunch of whose fruit
 the serpent that tempted Eve hid
 itself, and they add that when
 Adam and Eve became ashamed of their nakedness they covered them selves with the leaves of this plant. Beyond all doubt this legend had some influence upon the minds of those early botanical classifers who designated two species of the plant by the names of Musa paridisiaca and Musa sapientium = fruit of paradise, fruit of knowledge.
 The origin of the banana is given as India, at the foot of the Hima- layas, where it has been cultivated since remotest antiquity. Its origin in the new world is as doubtful as the origin of the American Indian. Natural to Asia and Africa, where more than twenty distinct species of the genus are known, it is said to have been brought first to Amer lea from Spain, early in the six teenth century, and planted in the island of San Domingo, whence its spread was rapid throughout the surrounding islands and the main land.
 This has never been authentically established, however, and some au- thorities include the banana among the articles that formed the base of the food supply of the Incas and the Aztecs before the arrival of the Certain it is, through out the whole of meridional Amer lea there is a strong tradition that at least two species of the plantain were cultivated long before the com ing of the Europeans.
 Furthermore it is singular that in all the languages indigenous to the region where the banana appears that plant has special name, not proceeding from the conquerors, as was the case with the names of | many other plants, animals and various articles introduced into America after its discovery.
 Grown over the entire extent of the meridian of the earth, the fruit of the banana today forms in large part the principal food of a major ity of the peoples living under the tropical zone. Several species and numerous varieties of the plant ap- pear throughout tropical America, out it is cultivated for commercial purposes in appreciable quantities only along the Atlantic border from southern Mexico to Colombia, in Jamaica, Cuba, San Domingo and he Bahamas, the far western mar zets of the United States being from the Hawaiian Islands md Mexico's south Pacific coast.- National Geographic Magazine.

INDUSTRY
eA4AzTadsI-
LARGE SUPPLY OF PULPWooD
important Question Has Aroused Con-
siderable Interest In United
States In Recent Years.

The scarcity Of pulpwood appears to
have been greatly exaggerated. The
problem may be solved, according to
good authorities, without the discov-
cry of substitute material by the
preservation of forests in wood pro-
ducing states. This important Ques-
tion has aroused considerable interest
in the United States during recent
years and decisive steps have been
taken by the government for the re-
forestation Of devastated areas and the
protection of standing forests.
1t has been shown that to supply a
mill having an output of 300 tons Of
newspaper a week $500 acres planted
with spruce and hardwoods would be
sufficient to give the wood pulp nee
essary for one year. II the total for
est areas was 100000 acres the timber
available would be sufficient for 40
years supply. During that period the
spruce would largely reproduce itself.
SO that by progressive and careful
management Of the forest an area Of
100000 acres should afford perpetual
supply to mill Of the capacity given.

GRADING is MOST IMPORTANT
Work Should Be Started In Field With
Growing Of crops-carefuI cuiti.~
walton Lessons cuIls.

The most important operation in
preparing fruit and vegetables for
market is the grading. The work
should be started in the field with the
growing of the crops. Careful cultiva.
tion means fewer culls and less ex.
pense for sorting and grading. Uni
formity is the principal requirement
