Grove of Bio Trees Found.

In the forest reserve between the
headwaters of the West Fork Of Hood
River and the Bull Run Lake, Ore,
are some large trees, bigger than any
have ever seen anywhere else in the
northwest" said George 7. Prather. a
pioneer newspaperman and orchardisU
of the Hood River Valley.
MY attention was first called to-
the giants of the forests about fifteen
years ago by l.. Ferdinand Floss of
LatoureIie, who made visit every
summer to the northwest base of Mt
Hood. MIR. Floss at that time had a
communication in the Oregonian rela-
tive to the trees"
The trees are said to be several
hundred feet high and to stand on the
fiat of hidden canyon. Steep bluffs
on either hand shut in the gorge in
which they rear themselves, and this
season is given for failure of those
who fish in the Lost Lake district to
have found the trees.
There are two species of the great
trees. One has yellowish and not
very rough bark and is straight and
as round as a candle. 1t has no limbs
to a great height, and has beautiful
crown The second species is cedar

The story persist in Paris, says
American Art News, that the buyer

Toothache.

A man in London killed himself and
his son because he had the toothache.
The English are exercised about It.
They say the curse is spreading all
over the earth. They have or have
had. such strange notions about
teeth! The Indifference of many 9TH
erwise intelligent and refined people
on the other side of their teeth is
something astonishing. So it's well
that the country has at last realized
that toothache is thing to be taken
in time. They need not. however, in

that there probably never was a time
or a country in the world when and

Deprived Him of Garbage.

George S. Marshall was elected as
a reform mayor of Columbus and did
a lot of reforming before he was de-
feated for reelection. One OF the
reforms was the establishment of a
garbage disposal plant. This threw
out of employment lot of oarkies
who had formerly done a general
scavenger business with famshackle
old wagons and ramshacklc old

Because of it's exquisitely beautiful
and diversified manner of decoration,
symmetry of form and the mystery OF
the great rock 1t shelters, this build
ing is among the most beautiful. in
the world, and is surely the most in
teresting
For ages unnumbered this spot has
been set aside for worship, and is now
reverenced alike by the Jew, Chris
tian and Moslem. No other spot in
the world has such wonderful his
tory. Here of old rose those temples
of Solomon and of Herod-visions Of
snow and -emblematic Of purity
and consecration-here within the
Holy of Holes dwelt the visible pres
ence of Almighty God, here Christ
walked and talked and did many
mighty works.
Destroyed by the soldiers of Titus
A. D. 20, after centuries of neglect,
this spot was destined to again be-
come the seat of public worship, but
this time of the descendants of Ish-
mael, not of Isaac, and the followers
Of Mohammed, the founder of Islam
Age after age has passed, change and
decay have treaded each on the heels
Of the other; but this rock of the ages
has stood safely through all the viciss
situdes of the Holy City, and now it
again showed it's wonderful power OF
attraction; and, as of old, ii. rested
within structures that were the won
ders of the world. SO now there stands
over 1t one of the finest buildings to
be seen at the present day.
In Moslen1 eyes it's sacredness
arises from the fact that when Mo-
hammed made his famous journey
from Mecca to heaven he went first to
Jerusalem, and there. in company with
the Angel Ghabrial, mounted to the
summit of this sacred rock and thence
to Paradise. If the visitor doubts the
truth, let him see in the rock of the
footprint the prophet left .as he sprang
aloft, and then examine the finger
marks made by Ghabrial as he held the
rock in mid-afr when it endeavored
to follow Mohammed!
This tradition sanctifies the rock
and area in the eyes of the believer,
and therefore complete forgiveness
of sin and good position in Para
disc await all who visit it. But even
greater rewards are in store for any
one who build on or endow any part
of the sanctuary. This will account
for the many buildings in the inclos-
ure, the cupolas. colonnades and foun-
tains.
The dome of the chain is the most
interesting of these. First it was
built for treasury, but its founder,
Abd-el- Malik, A. d. 691, was so capti-
waited by its beauty that he gave or
ders that it should serve as a model
for the Mosque of Omar At that time

chain still hangs. 1t was formerly
of greater length, so Moslem tradition
says, hanging so low that one might
easily touch it; yet it could only be
grasped by those who spoke the truth.

to a Moslem, but refused to pay,
claiming he had already done SO. In
order to prove his claim the creditor

prevented an earlier settlement of the
fur seal question, and has resulted in
this convention, which insures the res
cue of the depleted fur seal herds of
both America and Asia from CONNER

Although the seals are easily killed
by the methods adopted by man for
their destruction on sea and land, they
are capable of withstanding great pri.
vation and of undergoing extraordi-
nary muscular exertion.
To maintain themselves during the
winter without resorting to land is in
itself no small accomplishment for air
breathing, land-breeding animals The
females, leaving the islands in Novem-
beF, go further south then any other
members of the herd, and in December
appear off southern California, where
they remain until March. They then
begin their long return journey, reach
ing the islands early in June. The seals
subsist chiefly on squid, but also on
smelt, herring, salmon and other kinds
OF fish, which are caught and eaten in
the water.

of the north Pacific ocean are
destined to obtain for the first time
form of protection that recent expert
ence has shown to be absolutely essen
tial for the conservation of the seal
herds The agreement between these
four great powers prohibits for
period of Is years the indiscriminate
slaughter of seals while at sea, and
places the legitimate killing of surplus
seals on land under the immediate con
troll of the nations having sovereignty
over the islands to which the seals re-
sort for breeding purposes. The ma
tions which may be said to hold
kind of property right in fur seal herds
are the United States, Russia and
Japan The interests of Great Britain
in this matter arise from the existence
of an extensive feet of sealing vessels
that for many years had been operat-
ing from British Columbia ports off the
coasts of America, Russia and Japan.
Although fur seals are found in both
the northern and southern hemi-
spheres, the largest herds are those of
the north Pacific, which represent
three closely-related species distin-
guished by peculiarities in form. physi-
ognomy and pelage. and known as the
Alaskan, Russian and Japanese fur
seals respectively. The herds roam
widely on the high seas, and their wa
ter habitats approach one another If
they do not overlap; but the different
species do not associate, and always
resort for breeding purposes to par
ticular islands. 1t is this habit which
gives certain nations temporary jur-
isdiction and control over them, and
has created several international COM
plications.
