kissing each other while we are around.
Last night q party Of shese who had
been OFF camping met lot Of the little
dreams in dimity that hadn't, and when
with little gurgles Of Joy their arms went
around each other, and lip met lip with
sound like the exhaust Of bath tub,
we leaned over the tafrail and wished
we were girl. II. Cardlebaugh in
Dalles Chronicle.
A private Washington dispatch in
forms us that II. r. Cox Of Pendleton has
been appointed receiver oftbe suspended
First National Bank at Arlington, Ore
gon. The East Oregonlan says: The
appointment Of X. T. Cox as receiver Of
the closed First National Bank Of Ar
lington, Oregon, is agood one. Mr.. Cox
is experienced in this work, capable and
energetic. He Is young man Of excel
lent Judgment and one who will admin
lister the trust and close up the affairs Of
the bank with the least expense and the
most fruitful results.
The closing OF the doors OF the First
National Bank Of Arlington and the Ba-
ker City National Bank has been ex-
pected among the well-informed for some
time. II is the same old story of loose
management, the principle officers Of the
bank being deeply interested in other
undertaking, which was more or less
burden TO the banks, taking up their
time to the neglect Of the banking insti-
tutions, leading to their final overthrow.
The closed banks we're under one man
agemem. The stockholders will proba-
bly, be the only sufferers. East 0rego-
nian.
The legislature which meets at Salem
next January should abolish a lot Of
commissions, repeal lot Of useless acts,
boil down the appropriations and scat
ter to its homes. II the members will
do this they will earn the lasting graft
tude Of the citizens Of Oregon and ac-
complish more good than any legislature
for twenty years. Forty days need not
be consumed in tearing down number
OF useless and expensive appendages,
though few days might be devoted to
passing maximum freight and passen-
ger act. AS they will not do this, let
them not beg off by perpetuating use
less railroad commission with enlarged
powers. ."--R Rogue River Courier.
Eighteen scholars are already sub
scribed for the proposed normal school
at Condor. There must he at least 25
pupils, and unless the other seven are
forthcoming at once there is danger OF
this worthy project falling through. BY
all means do not let this matter lag, as
good normal school here will be the
most beneficial and grandest institution
Gillian county has ever had. They
have no trouble in getting up good
schools every other place; why should
we fall behind in the procession OF thrift
and enterprise? As good an opportu-
nifty as the present may never again
present itself for establishing normal
school here, SO do not let the matter drop.
It would be wonderful factor OF devel-
opment for the entire county.
The Dalles Chronicle says: "a cov-
cred wagon passed through town this
morning, bearing series Of legends
about hard times, 1925 bushel for
wheat" aud several other signsin which
the owner of the outfit registered his
opinion Of politics and conditions. Out
OF curiosity we examined the outfit, find-
ing that the wagon contained some bed
ding, two rocking chairs and few other
house comforts, and we reached the con.
clusion that man who could leave the
harvest fields TO go berry picking and
take his parlor furniture along, would
find bard times il wheat was worth IS a
bushel and wool 81 a pound. The times
are hard, but they are here, and will
not be bettered either by repining OF
hunting job in rocking chair.

an absolute monarchy, governed by a
king and ministry of five departments
The country is Of narrow boot leg
shape, forming peninsula, the lower

while Russia has boundary along the

islands extending along the coast of Asia
opposite the contested country. 1t viii
be seen that the Corean territory is o
great strategetic Importance to all these
