sTEAMINe UP THE COLUMBIA
Boats Can Go $50 Miles from the
Pacific

While the Columbia river is a
mighty stream, it has hitherto been
navigable for a distance of only
little over 100 miles from its mouth.
The opening of the Dalles-Celilo can
al on Wednesday last, around the rap
ids at Big Eddy, Or, VIII permit
steamboat traffic up the main river
to Priest Rapids, in the center OF the
state OF Washington. a distance of
$50 miles from the Pacific. The
Snake river which enters the Column
bia few miles north of the Walla-
walla, affords a navigable channel
up to Lewiston. Idaho, which is AIS
miles from the coast.
Who would ever have thought 1t
possible to trade with China or Aus
tralia by an all water route from
Chief Josephs hunting grounds. Yet
Lewiston is on the edge of the ola
Nez Perces reservation, and hardly
more than a days march from the
Occur d'Alene, Provided with a good
map and lively Imagination, one
might float up the Columbia river to
Canada, and follow the sinuosities OF
the Snake to the Yellowstone park
and nearly to Great Salt Lake. But
the falls and gorges of the uppe
Columbia will never be negotiable by
anything that swims except salmon;
and the upper Snake river in summer
time has often scarcely enough wat
er to raise bubble or make rings
when a stone is thrown in,
For all that, what has been gained
by the equalization just completed is
noteworthy. A total of 525 miles of
river navigation into the heart of the
Great Northwest and almost to the
foot of the Rocky mountains may be
accounted well worth the decade Of
labor and the nearly $5,000,OOO of
money expended in obtaining the inn

Old English Fairs.

Fairs and feasts were formerly held in churchyards ill honor of the saint to whom the church was dedicated. In consequence of these popular gath erings being much abused they had to be suppressed in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Edward H., as appears by the following extract. quot ed by Spelman: And the Kynge com mandeth and forbiddeth that from henceforth neither fairs and markets shall be kept in churchyards for the honour of the Church. Given at West minister, the VIII of Octobre, the XIII yeare of Kynge Edwarde's reigne."- London Mail.

EAafa of Aroharx.


 In the days when the buffalo was found in vast herds on the western plains there were Indians who while riding at gallop could send an arrow through buffalo's body. Remarkable as thss archery was, it did not equal that reached by the archers of ancient times.
 It is of record that the MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland, were such skilled archers that they could hit man at the distance of 500 yards. In 1704 the Turkish ambassador at London shot an arrow in field near that capital 415 yards against the wind. The secretary of the ambassador, on hearing the ex- pressions of surprise from the English gentlemen present, said the sultan had shot 800 yards. This was the greatest performance of modern days. but pillar standing on plain near Con- stantinople recorded shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie. Brit ish ambassador to the sublime porte. records that in 179S he was present when the sultan shot m arrow 972 yards.

What a Revival To.

The word ''revival'' is often given a meaning which primarily does not be- long to it. Many emphasize the con- version of sinners as the essential ele- ment in revival work, but that is the secondary meaning of the word. Es- sentially revival" means the quicken ing of Gods people. You cannot re- vive dead man. The unregenerate sinner is spiritually dead. He must be born again. Now, you may revive a partially drowned body or partially frozen body. The regenerate souls life often weakens and wanes until the flame almost fickers out. But if there be the least spark of life left 1t can be famed into a flame, and, like the apparently dead cinder in the smithy's forge, that spark will touch others and kindle flame that will en- thuse church, a city or even nation. A revival of religion, then, must logi- cally begin with the church. Such is the divine order.-Christian Herald.

GERMANY IS STILL FAR
 FROM STARVATION


 Berlin,--In spite of all difficulties, Germany is farther from being starv- cd into submission than any of her adversaries think. 1t sounds alarm ing when they begin experimenting making "mill' from weeds, and meat" from hay and straw, and when the people, as in Schleswig, are told to live on soya beans.
 There are many things that are in bad shape, grain, potatoes and other articles of food. War bread is miserable fare and cakes which are still exhibited in the bakers windows look as they did in time of peace, but are made from potato flour.
 The well-to-do who can afford good cooking do not feel the misery yet, for it is the most expensive articles of food that have gone up least in price. In the Berlin restaurants you may still get a dinner for 50 cents consisting of turtle soup, lob ster. roast veal and dessert. It is only the poor who are growing poorer still.
 Germans Not Worried
 But when the outside world is led to think the situation is growing worse and that each new rescript is proof supplies are running still lower and the wolf is at the door, such ideas do not agree with those that are aroused among the Ger man people by these precautions. In Germany every new regulation is taken as proof of the government being wide awake, not as testimony of threatening peril, but as a sign of timely caution.
 What perhaps more than anything buoys up the German mind under the present conditions and gives con fidence in Germany's strength and hope of her final victory, are the mighty rivers of Russian prisoners that are necessarily moving along all high roads of Northern Prussia.
 Large districts are being gradual ly transformed into little Russias with Slav population clad in rags and confined within stockades and barbed wire fences.
 The following editorial in the Wiser Tnspektions Bote shows how determined the German people are to suffer all kinds of privations rather than give in.
 "We may have to kill all our cat tic" the paper says. "We may have to do without milk, butter and chese, but it does not matter. We will submit to any rule laid down by the government that manages our stock of provisions. We will do this without murmur and be content with the meager share that is given us
 Day of Fasting Proposed
 "But we will do even more than this for our country. A patriotic German has suggested that we fast one day a week. Our soldiers often have to go without food more than a day week, but we do not need to go as far as that.
 "Let us merely take solomn VOW to economize as far as possible in the use of the necessaries of life, never to eat bread when we are not actually hungry and to stop eating as soon as our hunger is appeased. Let us sue ceed in this as we'll as we have suc- ceeded along our frontiers.
 "No matter how much our rations may be reduced we know that Our Savior, who during his earthly exist ance fed thousands of people on near ly nothing, has the power to do the same miracle once more.''
