coIdframe Construction.

A coldframe is constructed in exact
ly the same manner as a hotbed, with
the exception that no manure is placed
beneath it to supply heat.
Before the plants are set in the gar
den, either from the hotbed or the
coldframe, they should be gradually
hardened to outside conditions by CIV
ing them more ventilation each day.
Finally, remove the sashes entirely on
bright days and replace them during
the nights. The aim should be to
produce strong, healthy plants that
will make quick start when placed
in the garden.

shallow pit s to Is inches deep, &C,
cording to locality, and pack IT full
of fermenting stable manure. The
manure, before being placed in the pit,
should be turned over once or twice
in a pile in order to insure even heat
ing. 1t may then be packed into the
hotbed pit and tramped uniformly.
Standard hotbed sashes are 3 feet
wide and feet long, and the size of
the bed should be made TO suit the
number of sashes employed. A frame
work of boards Is to "a inches high
at the back and about II inches high
in front is placed over the manure
filed pit to support the sash.
Use for Thermometer.
About 8 or 4 inches of fine garden
loan is spread evenly over the manure
and the bed allowed TO stand four or
five days to warm up before any seed
is sown. At first the temperature of,
the bed may run rather high, and 1t
is best to delay planting the seeds in
it until it begins to decline. This can
best be determined by planting a ther-
mometer with the bulb about three
inches below the surface of the soil.
The temperature should fall below 80
degrees before seeds are planted.
If classified sashes are not avail
able for covering the hotbed, heavy
muslin may be used instead; the glass,
however. makes the most desirable
form of covering. Care must be taken
to give the bed sufficient ventilation to
prevent overheating, as it is liable to
heat up very rapidly when the sun
shines full upon the glass. Watering
should be done during the early part
of the day and the bed given enough
air so that the plants will dry off be-
fore night The bed should be closed
before evening, in order to conserve
enough heat to carry it through the
night in good condition. If the wealth
err should turn severely cold, a COW
ering of straw, blankets or canvas
may be thrown over the bed to pro-
teet 1t.

with friend intending to report the
proceedings but hoping to avoid be-
ing recognized. Somebody did recog-

to get him was Immediately raised.
He and his friend got out of the build
ing, jumped into their buggy and
drove down the road. The night was
black with an electric storm raging.
In clump of woods he got out of the
and his friend drove on. In a moment
band of horsemen in pursuit rode
along at a gallop carrying firearms
and a rope, revealed to him by a
| lightning flash. He managed to get
back across the river and escape his
pursuers. This was one of many SIM
ilai incidents that helped to confirm
and strengthen his political affilia-
tions.
| lie has always been lover of out
door sports and was a splendid base
ball player as young man. In fact
he played ball until he came up into
this country in 1897. and since has
followed all games here with intense
interest, usually acting as official
scorekeeper.

BY FliA<N VI. DAILAM, SIX.
Portland is somewhat off the regu
lar beat travelled by residents of the
Okanogan country who strike out to
pleasure bent, and consequently few
of them drift this far away from
home But they are missing someth-
| ing well worth while by confining
their peregrinations to their home
state when Portland can be so easily
the west, or anywhere else for that
| matter that pres ents so many at
fractions for the visitor as this Ore
gon metropolis.
Portland is situated on the Villa
mette river short distance above
river mingle with the. Columbia, and
some 80 miles from where the CO.
lumbia contributes it's considera BILE
flood towards keeping the Pacific
from going dry. The grade is so slight
from Portland to the sea that the
|
this far in the interior, and the depth
of water is so great in both the Co
lumbia and Willamette that great sea-
going ships can dock at the wharves
on the city front. Hence. while not
exactly a salt water port, Portland
is still in such close touch with the
ocean that it reaps all the advantages
of ocean transportation, and that is
one of the very important factors
that has been instrumental in building
up so large a city at this point.
| AS stated, Portland is located on
the Willamette river. The city covers
! a large area on both sides of the
river, and the two sections are linked
together by several bridges. over
which there are continuous process
sions of street cars, vehicles and pc
restrians. The real business section
is concentrated on the west side OF
the river, yet there is large volume
of trade carried on on the east side
with many industries that add to the
wealth of the city and contribute to-
ward the pay roll, without which nc
community can hope to flourish, and
which everywhere is the very verte-
brae of city's prosperity.
Portland may not be the Queer
City of the Pacific coast, if this de-
scriptive term is to be based upon
population, but she is one of the most
important satellites in the train Of
the Queen, and if beauty Of surround
ings are to take precedence over sta
tistics then she is fully entitled to col
lahe sovereign title.
In point of population Portland
franks well up toward the from
among the cities of the far west, being
led only by Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Seattle, and it is no disloy
atty to our home state to say tha
from every indication Portland i:

matter of size based upon population
