may be remedied by bridge grating
or painting the wounds.
The new lilacs are most satisfac-
tory when grated on privet or ash
roots. Lilac roots grow too many
suckers.
Clean up the yard, the street OF
the highway. Give the grass a chance
to grow on the lawn. # there are
weak places put on good soil and plenty
of bluegrass and clover seed.
There is still time to order nursery
stock if it is done at once. A few fruit
trees and bushes for the garden and
a few shrubs for the lawn will increase
in value as soon as they are set.
Do not be in a hurry to remove. the

enough to do this when the plants be

Sweet peas may be planted just as
soon as the ground warns up enough

White onion sets are said to be Of

should be planted as soon as the
ground can be worked easily.
The state Of Washingto has shipped
more. boxed apples this year than all

LoNcMRE. Wash, Aug. 26.--Capers OF
mountain electricity set a party of
climbers atingle this week during one of
the most weird displays of lightning
ever witnessed on Mount Rainier.
A large bank of clouds collected in
midafternoon and hung over the SUM
init. Several parties of mountaincers
halted and sought shelter from the ap-
preaching storm.
Suddenly the air seemed charged with
electricity and for several minutes light
ming played about the peaks In the
midst of the rain of fire there appeared
red ball "a large as the apparent
diameter OF the sun, which sat lightly
on craig Glowing with queer green
ish light. the fire ball shiinmered and
burned against the black clouds.
Instantly the surcharged air gave
OFF an electrical shower that smote the
fire ball. and like n soap bubble II was
shattered. The air was full OF crackle
end hiss. resembling a gigantic wireless
transmitter. Again there appeared two
fire balls which floated untill they
rested on Jagged rock peaks and then
blew up.
