Fence Built Of Trees.

So many years ago that nobody
knows when it was, nor who was the
labor-saving genius who did it, a fence
was built in Michigan by forcing split
boards between saplings. Then the
trees grew.
They kept growing until today they
are of immense size and deeply i'm
bedded in them are the ends of those
old rails 1t is impossible to tell how
far they extend into the tree trunks.
They are weathered yet they ring as
true under a hammer as though just
hewn.
1t happened that the trees formed
boundary line for one of the old tracts.
The rails were arranged five feet, and
the growth of the trees around their
ends has created one of the most sub
stantial fences imaginable.
Plants Are Prolific.
~ aN the seeds of any one sort OF
plant were allowed to grow they would
soon cover the earth to the exclusion
of all else. A single orchid plant pro
huced more than 100000 seeds In
season and many common plants, as
the foxglove, very nearly equal this re-
markable record.

APUGET SOUND LIE

THE NORTHERN ROUTE

- way commission through
moving to Portland it is of the
utmost Importance that he be
succeeded by a man who is
thoroughly favorable to the fin
ishing of the Columbia highway
: and the Oregon trail through to
te Idaho line.
Contracts for grading be-
tween Pendleton and The Dal-
les are new being let. But this
represents only the start. The
highway must be surfaced and
it must be extended through
Union and Baker counties. 1t
will take years to accomplish
the entire task.
EAt times efforts have been
made to ignore the interests OF
the counties along this route
and to promote an east and
west highway through the in
terror. Naturally this does not
appeal to the people between
The Dalles and Baker who in
habit the heaviest taxpaying
portion of eastern Oregon and
Also constitute the bulk of East
ern Oregon's population:
We want the interior high
way built as quickly as possible
of course, but the highway on
the river route should be paved
first because it will serve the
larger number of people and
for the further reason that
most of these counties, includ-
ing Umatilla have bonded
themselves in order to cooper
ate with the state.
The people of this region
should unite in a request to
Governor Olcott that their IN
ferests be respected when MI
