CARVING ON TURTLE

HHERE is the tale of a turtle, a
L Kennewick, Washington. che
lonian, that was picked up by a
truckman, who discovered the in
itials of an ex-county commissioner
Oh its carapace, deeply and not in
artistically craven. It seems the
commissioner, some few years ago,
carved them there very much as
small boys carve their initials on
railroad bridges and In waiting
rooms. But the commissioner cary
ed his initials on a turtle, and it is
restored to him after an absence
of five years. Does not this plausi-
bly, account for the employments
and relaxations Of county commits
sioners in their leisure hours?
The Kennewick dispatch which
tells the tale of the turtle calls the
creature a "dry-land turtle" Dis
claiming least intent to play the
pedant, The Oregonian must chide
It's correspondent with gentle
firmness. Dry-land turtles, as rep
resented by the desert tortoise, are
found in our arid southwest, but not
here in the region Of the good gray
rain. It is a terrain and climate
suited nicely to the comfort of the
terrapin, who walks abroad when
he chooses and swims cumbersomely
about in his favorite pond. Our
terrapins, the western and the
painted, as two species are styled,
are beautifully adorned as to plas-
tron, or lower shell. The cabalistic
markings and runes of vivid color,
perfectly patterned and thoughtful
~ designed, why were these placed
toward the dust and the ooze? The
weirdness Of chelonian beauty is
hidden and secret, for the cara
pace of the terrapin Is dull Under
meath on the plastron, the reptile
Is flame and sunrise.
But to return to our meditative
county commissioner-he Is not the
first, not by far, that whitfield away
at a turtle, so to leave a relatively
enduring record of himself. It is
said that George Washington cary
ed his initials on a turtle when he
was a young surveyor, and that long
and long afterward the turtle was
captured again and the carvings
brought to light. BY that time the
name Of Washington was lustrous.
It had taken on immortality. It
would outlast generations Of very
ancient turtles which Is saying
great deal, for the turtle Is one of
the longest lived Of all animals. The
great Galapagos turtles are esti-
mated to be not less than three
centuries old. as to the more yener-
able representatives.
To county commissioners that
hunger after sort Of permanence
this publication cannot do better
than recommend q young Gala
pagas turtle. Besides, the sea voy-
age Is exhilarating and the islands
are Of exceptional interest. Carve
deep and with q keen blade. and
the savant Of three centuries hence
1t being assumed that mankind's
greed and cruelty have not then
exterminated the great turtles Of
the Galapagos will scratch their
chins meditatively. "Who the devil"
they will speculate, twas Bill
Smith?" Morning Oregonian.

The novice at fishing had hooked
q very small trout on q little lake
In the Canadian Wilds. He wound
it in excitedly until it was rammed
against the end of his rod. Then
he turned inquiringly to the guide

SCIENTISTSCHECK
STRATA IN HUGE
BOULDER LAKE

FLAGSTAFF. May 24-With the
biggest artificial load ever placed Oh
the earth due to take place when
40 billion tons of water is stopped
and backed. up behind Boulder dam
to fill the worlds largest man-made
lake, the U. S. coast and geodetic
survey is planning to carefully check
results to secure valuable scientific
data Lieut.. G. r. Fish said We'd
nesday after arriving here with his
survey party from Las Vegas, where
he and his men have just completed
a preliminary running of levels.
All possible data about the
Boulder dam country was secured
by the party and this will be check
; ed for changes in strata after the
dam has filled and the huge load
of water has reached its maximum.
This immense load is almost sure
to cause some shifting of the earth's
strata. Lieutenant Fish said, and
careful gaueing and checking Of the
Shift will be invaluable to Scien-
fists, giving exact information re-
garding nature Of lower strata that
heretofore has been mostly specu-
! lation
When the dam will be f He'd.
Lieutenant Fish said, he had been
unabic to find out. Figuring norm
al inflow, a certain amount must be
let out of side tunnels for irrigation,
and this and loss by evaporation
makes computing time it will take
the dam to fill almost impos ;ible.
