(BY FRANK NJ. DALI.AM, SR.)

Although Portland can hardly be
classed as sea port, as the term is
generally applied, being in the neigh
borhood OF an hundred miles inland
from where the deep blue sea dashes
its restless pillows upon a rock bound
coast, as ocean coasts are usually des-
ignated by those who refer to the
edges of the continent Tapped by salt
water, still it is connected with the
ocean by streams navigable for the
largest ships and the water front pre-
sents all the appearances Of sea
port, even If the harbor is confined to
a river only few hundred feet in
width. That river has the depth to
float craft of all sizes and room
enough to accommodate a fleet of any
number, and the maritime business of
Portland compares favorably with
that OF other ports of entry situated in
immediate touch with salt water.
We have spent quite number of
pleasant hours leaning against the
railing OF one or another of the sew
eral massive bridges that span the
river, watching, to paraphrase the
Bard of Avon, 1.-The troubled Villa
mette chatting with her shores" (This
is somewhat Of poetic license, as the
Willamette. Is a modestly tranquil
stream at this point in it's progress to
join its at present yellow current with
the Columbia and has not the chatting
habit to noticeable degree.) Still,
and howsoever the hours have been
spent as recorded, and while there is
long stretch of the river in view it
is not entirely the flood slipping OIL
lily beneath the arches OF the bridge
that holds the eye, although there is
| an absorbing attraction in that flood
to the eye of a visitor who has spent
so many years in country where the
streams are built upon such contract
ed lines that good sized fish sometimes
find themselves handicapped in not
I fhaving feet with which to negotiate
the shadows, and suffer from curva-
| ture Of the spine working around
bends. 1t is the craft of various de-
scriptions that line the wharves, the
wharves themselves where loading and
unloa ding of these boats go merrily
on. the signs of industry illustrated
by smoke stack and belching steam
from adjacent factories, the strings
| of vehicles that crowd each other
crossing the bridges, travelling at a
speed that would indicate that time

Mr.. Mitchell was public spirited

in promoting the progress of the com.
munity and the county in which he
lived. He was staunch democrat and
active in politics. He served two terms
as county commissioner for the third
district. The construction of good
roads engaged his attention and he
exerted his energy to promote road
building while county official and

were in wide demand in this part of
the county.

wife and three children and two sis

man, Mont. Mrs. Smith was with her

HURT IN RUNAWAY.

Mrs. Earl Houck was badly bruised
but not seriously hurt, Wednesday
afternoon when thrown from c. f.
Loves wagon as the team bolted in n
short runaway dash. Mrs. Elmer
O'Neal and Mrs. Houck were both in
the wagon at the time, but Mrs O'Nea,
held her place and rode to the finish
by seating herself in the bed of the
wagon and holding on to chain
strung across the box. Mr.. Love haG
nnsnapped the bits to permit his team
to drink in front of his home. The
horses took advantage of the chance
and bolted down Central avenue.
When they started Mrs. Houck was
thrown ont and fell, striking her head
against the curb. The horses ran
blindly down the street and ended
their dash abruptly in the debris OF
the old Peerless hotel.
On their way they brushed by Her.
bert Gregg's new Ford and tore Off
a rear fender. DR.. f.. M. Bevis was
called to attend Mrs. Houck who was
carried into the Love home. Mrs.
O'Neal was unhurt.

BRIDGE SHOULD HAVE LIGHTS.

The new concrete bridge over the
Similkameen was inspected by an Of
ficial of the state highway department
this week and probably will be accept
ed by the state next week, as the final
work of painting and polishing is
about completed. This bridge is pro-
nOunced one of the handsomest con-
crete spans in the state, and will
serve as a model for other like con-
crete structures building or to be
built by the state 1t will not be open
ed for traffic until the east approach
Is completed and as well graded as
the west approach.
The bridge is prepared for lighting.
concealed conduits were laid when the
forms were made and it is strongly
urged that before it is opened to traf-
fic, the city should provide for light
ing by having the wiring done and
globes placed. This would add the ii
nal touch to a truly artistic structure
and the comparatively small expense
involved would be justified by the ef-
feet the lights would make. both in
enhancing the appearance OF the
bridge and in giving service to traffic
at night.

GARDEN TRICKS.

How to make a seed produce the
biggest kick spells the difference be-
tween success and failure in many
home gardens. A few of these tricks
are suggested by the extension ser
vice OF the State College.
Early potatoes may be ripened from
ten days to two weeks earlier by Sc
lecting good, smooth tubers with
strong eyes and sprouting them in
trays in the sunlight for two or three
weeks before planting. Cut the tuber
and plant with sprouts up. These
sprouts should be strong and short.
To prevent tomatoes from blightins
start the plants early, transplant to
pots or tins. produce long, leggy
plants: set in the field just as early
as possible on land that has been
trenched Is to Is inches deep. Fill
trench from 1-3 to IA full of rOtted
manure, cover with earth and put in
plants in horizontal position with
four or five inches of the top above
ground. The whole stem will soon be-
come a mass of feeding roots and
force early, heavy fruitage. Where
manure is used in the trench be sure
to give plenty of water during the hot
part of theSseason
Early Canteloupes, cucumbers. OF
watermelons may be produced by
starting the used seed on squares OF
inverted blue grass or clover sod in
hot bed. or in berry boxes and when
danger of frost is past, transplant
the sod or box to the field and pro-
tect from the weather for a few days
Soak all kinds of garden seed be,
fore planting. When soaked in luke.
warm water for from twelve to twen.
ty-four hours. the plantlets will come
up at once and the stand will usually
be better than from unsoaked seed.
