Basket socials and entertainments
seem to be a fad this winter on the
Yaquina. There is to be a concert and
basket social at Nashville, Saturday,
Jan. "a, given by the Lincoln County
Band. A basket social is to be given
by the school at Chitwood, on Thurs.
day, Jan. 20, for the purpose of starting
a library for the school.
The baritone player in the band got
his lip spoiled by coming in sudden
and pressing contact with a vine maple
root.
School closed at Eddyville last Fri
day. Week understand the teacher
went to Albany TO attend school,
The band boys are talking Of getting

Beauty and happiness are both restored

inches. For this he had seventy-fve
loads of manure dumped. This was
put into heaps four or five feet deep
and wet down with water. AS the
heaps fermented the air became thick
with steam and the temperature of
the cave rose as high as 100 degrees.
In this atmosphere the plucky mush-
room grower worked hour after hour.
After the manure has begun to steam,
it must be turned, broken up, freed
of long straWs and foreign SUBJ
stances, and watered again so that
have become wet. During all of this
time the steam, the heat, the stencil,
are almost unbearable. It was small
| wonder that the Irishman was over
come and obliged to give it up.
When the heat at last begins to SUBJ
side, the manure is spread on the floor
Of the cave, trampled down firm, and
| When the temperature Of the bed falls
below 100 degrees it is safe to begin
planting the mushrooms.
The spawn or seed, as the grower
calls It, is imported from England,
and comes in the form Of hard bricks
of dried soil and manure. When these
are broken open; however, they are
found to be permeated with a fine,
whitish, thread-like mould. This sub
stance is really the mushroom plant,
and when taken at just the right stage
of it's growth and dried with the soil
and manure that it was growing in,
can be kept indefinitely, and with
stands extremes of cold. These bricks
are broken into pieces and the pieces
planted in the beds about ten inches
apart. Finding itself in the proper
environment and temperature, the
plant grows and spreads, sending up
from it's joints the fruit, which is the
mushroom. The button mushroom.
the variety raised here, is smooth.
as in this case, perfectly white.
To secure the best results the tenn
perature of the cave must be kept at
from So to 81 degrees. Below this
the growth Is retarded; above it, the
4 mushroom will be long leg and small
head" as Mr.. Porte expresses it. The
mushrooms begin to appear In from
five to eight weeks, tho occasionally
not one will be seen for longer time
than this. Every day those that are
large enough are pulled. This neces.
states great care, as not particle OF
the stem must be left in the ground
or it will decay and infect the healthy
plant.

anyone who is familiar with the clever
humorist-comedian's work. He sat by
the side of the author during the en-
tire time Of the writing Of the play,
and the result Is one of the funniest
entertainments on the boards. Under
the capable management Of L1ebler
& Co., who never do things by halves,
Ezra Kendall Is launched as one Of
the most successful stars in the the
atrical world. The scene of 1.-The
Vinegar Buyer" Is the village of
Brooklyn, Indiana, a small hamlet Of
one hundred inhabitants about twenty
miles from Indianapolis. The charac-
tiers are more or less faithful repro
auctions Of actual persons. Mr.. Ken
dalls character Is that Of a village
humoriSt who, by his traightforWard-
ness, captures the affections Of all the
townspeople, both male and female.
The title Is an odd and amusing one,
but 1t describes the Joe Miller of the
play, which Mr.. Kendall imperson-
ates, for Joe Miller does a lot Of things
in the play which are vastly more in
teresting than his vocation as g. vim
egar buyer: Really the vinegar bust
ness cuts but a small figure in the
play, tho Joe Miller is vinegar
buyer" beyond question. Still he is
grand, good fellow, whom the whole
village learns to love for his big heart,
wise head and generous impulses,
whose whole life is devoted to good
! works, and whose bump Of shrewd-
ness and knowledge of human nature
enable him to overcome the machina-
tons of the wicked, and to care for
the unfortunate and oppressed in a
manner that warns the cookies Of
the heart of the auditor, and makes
F., him glad that he is alive. 1.-The Vim
! egar Buyer" is, in fact, an attractive
! human story Of real life in this small
town of Indiana, into which is
woven a collection Of interesting char
acters, bright and witty dialogue and
impressive situations, all of which, in

enced then, is but bagatelle. He Is a
small, wiry man, and must have had
q constitution Of iron to begin with.
He loves to tell Of his life as a sol
der, and It is thrilling to listen to his
dramatic recital of some Of those ter
rible scenes. He was grazed by nu-
merous bullets, tho never seriously
wounded. He slept many q night
stockingless, shelterless, and in rags,
on two feet and a half Of snow, and
at another season Of the year in mud
into which he gradually sank till
awakened by the water trtckltng into
his mouth. He went days without
food and then ate the flesh of horses
long dead. The climax is reached
when he shows how q bombshell
plowed its way into the ground and
exploded Just unNer the spot where
he happened to be lying on his stom-
ach, He was thrown fifteen feet into
the air and upon coming down stayed
dead ten or fifteen minutes and then

visited. Here the proprietor was
found gathering mushrooms for ship
ment to Chicago.
Mr.. Porte is a French peasant who
speaks a pleasing mixture of English
and French, punctuated with many
shrugs and gestures. He has been in
America some eighteen years mi
grating from state to state, as far
north as Dakota, as far south as Texas,
and engaging in many occupations;
but year ago he took up mushroom
raising In Minneapolis, and is MAX
ing great success Of it. He began in
the cellar Of his house, enlarged that
and then as his business was rapidly
increasing rented the old cave on the
island used formerly for the storage
Of beer, and an ideal place for mush-
rooms.
Truly there are many ways Of MAX
ing a living, some easy and common
place, some difficult and unique Mr.
Porte's way would seem to belong to
the latter class. It cannot be entirely
pleasant or healthful to spend eight
or nine hours a day in this damp,
dark place, bending over the mush-
room beds; but Mr.. Porte emphatical-
~ contends that it does not injure him.
he even goes so far as to say that
working there when the beds are heat
ing, and getting thoroly wet with
steam and perspiration, has cured him
Of severe cold. This would be a
novel cold cure; but not one that
would ever be much in demand. Mr..
Porte, however, does not expect to
spend all his days in mushroom cell
lar. Like many of his countrymen he
does not believe in money for moneys
sake;" but when he has laid by enough
for his old age he will perhaps retire
from business and enjoy what he has
earned by his sturdy endurance and
faithful work.
He has no fear Of competition, for
| he says there are not eight men in a
| hundred who can stand the work
| With contempt he instances the big
strong Irishman, twice his size and
hardly more than half his age, whom
he recently hired to help him pre-
pare the beds, and who stuck to 1t one
day for seven hours and then gave il
up, overcome with deathly nausea.

sides all this, they find time to keep

keep two horses. Over the house is q

England is robbed and the descrip-
ton Of the robber closely tallies with
that of Mr.. Fogg. John Fix, one Of
the detectives employed by the bank,
attempts to arrest Fogg, but as he has
a warrant that can be used only in
England, he is forced to follow Fogg
around the world before he can ar
rest him. On the trip many things
happen. The first interesting Incl
dent is where Passepartout accidentally
goes into one Of the forbidden Indian
temples. He escapes with his life af-
ter losing his shoes and some pur-
chases he made before entering the
temple. The next part Of the journey
is covered on a camel which Fogg is
forced to buy at fabulous price.
While making the journey, they come
across a procession of Brahmins who
are preparing to sacrifice a beautiful
Indian princess. Fogg saves the prin-
cess. When they are making a trip
across the United States, Indians board
the train and attempt to massacre the
crew, by heroic efforts, bring the train
to the fort, the soldiers drive the In
dams away and the people on the
train are saved. During the scare it
is thought that Passepartout was
killed, but he turns up safe and sound.
On the trip, across the Atlantic, Fogg
has to buy the steamer Henrietta,
and is forced to use the upper works
for fuel as the coal gives out, and they
had to have steam in order to reach
Liverpool on time. The moment Fogg
steps on English soil he is arrested
by Fix on the charge of robbing the
Bank Of England. Fogg is put into
Jail, but is soon set free by the infor-
nation that the real criminal had
been captured a few days before their
arrival. Fix is severely punished for
! not inqutring whether the real Grim
ina1 had been arrested before arrest
ing Fogg. Fogg then goes to his home
| under the impression that he is a day
behind and he becomes remorseful
Passepartout not having set his watch
| ahead, he finds that there is just
enough time to get to the club in time
| to win the bet. He practically drags
his master into the club at the last
moment and wins the bet.
The cast is one Of the largest ever
seen at the Lyceum, sixty-fve people
being used in the production. besides
a troop Of camels to add picturesque.

are mainly composed; and it must be
put thru a special process of treat

more pleasantly done in the open air;
but residents in the vicinity of the
