A Happy Gathering.

Friedrich VoSS is a fortunate boy
but he is more than this, he is bright,
winsome, loving, lovable child. Not
all children are blessed with home
like Friedrich. And not all children
have the happy faculty of winning and
retaining SO large circle of friends as
friedrich. Mr.. and Mrs. Voss sent
out eighty Invitations to Friedrich S
young friends to spend Thursday
afternoon at his home and it was no
small undertaking to entertain eighty
children full of life and glee and
equipped for the occasion with appetite
such as only children are blessed with.
The tables were nicely arranged on
the lawn, and it was a pleasure to see
the children seated at two long tables
enjoying the bountiful supply of cake
ice cream and strawberries. They
were as quiet and orderly as grown
people if not more 50. 1t was one OF
the many bright days in Fredrick's
young life and a pleasure to Mr.. and
Mrs. Voss to entertain so many happy
children. Mr.. Morterud, the photo
grapher secured an excellent picture
OF the group just before they sat down
to the table. May Friedrich and his
many young friends live to not only
enjoy but to appreciate many social
gatherings of this kind.

Don't Bark at Your Competitor.

Did you ever happen to be riding on
train through the country when a
farm dog would rush out and run
along after the cars barking to the
fullest capacity of his lungs? The dog
attracts little attention from the
passengers at first, but the train soon
pulls away from him and he and his
wall are soon lost in the distance.
The train hasn't been injured a
particle, but the dog is tired and out
of wind. Well, says the Topeka
Capital, that dog is just like a whole
lot of men in this world. They lose
no opportunity to bark at the trains
Of successful newspaper men. The
dog imagineS that the train is RUM
ing away because it does not fight
back, but the train is always back
next day. And it will continue to
come around long after the dog is out
Of wind and has gone to the happy
hunting grounds.
SO when you get into field don't
bid for business with bark at your
competitor. In this present rush of
business affairs people have no time
to pay any attention to a barker.
Attend strictly to your own affairs
and saw wood, and after a while you
will get big enough so you won't have
to bark.

BOUGHT
HORSES
FOR JAPS
First Consignment of Oregon
EquineS Shipped From
Victoria

The first consignment of American
horses for the Japanese army will be
shipped from Victoria, B. c., today
They were purchased in Oregon by ].
l.. Barlow, of Victoria, who had orders
for 600 head, but owing to the short
time allotted him he was unable to
procure that number. Mr.. Barlow paid
from 500 to $125 apiece for the ami
mails, and they are said to be a fine
lot. Mr. Barlow purchased three
horses from Jas. Skipton last week in
this city, for other purposes, but in
speaking of the horses purchased for
the Japanese, said:
IF the war should continue for any
great length of time, there will be a
great demand created for the Ameri-
can horse of the Pacific coast states.
1t has been demonstrated in recent
years that the Western cayuse can
stand more hard service than any 9TH
er breed. Accustomed to roughing II,
he will stand the hard treatment in
store for him twice as long as would
the well-groomed horse of the Eastern
states. The Japanese thoroughly rec
ognize this fact, and will undoubtedly
make extensive purchases here in the
event that the war is prolonged"

PLACES TO AVOID.
Here Are a Few Regions in Which
Life Is Not JOY.

AS places or residence neither the
Bahrien Islands, in the Persian Gulf
nor the City of Yakutsk, Siberia, have
much to offer in the way of climate,
says the Washington Post.
In Baherien you cook and in Yaku.
tsk you freeze. Bahrien is said to be
the hottest place in the world. The
thermometer often registers between
10 and 12O degrees, night and day,
for months at a time, This rather
beats Fort Yuma, Ariz., which is con-
sidered the hottest place in the United
States. "-H
Yakutsk is called the coolest city
in the world Verkhoyansk, in north
western Siberia, claims to be the
coolest inhabited place on the globe,
the thermometer registering ninety
degrees below zero in January.
1t also claimes to be the place pos
sessing the most valuable climate, for
while it is ninety degrees below in
January, it is eighty-six above in the
shade in August during the day, with
drop down to freezing every mid
summer night
The wettest place in the world is
Greytown, Nicaragua, where the an
nual rainfall is 260 inches.
The driest place in the world is
probably the rainless coast of North
ern Chile. They have shower there
about once in every ten years. Moth
ing grows on this desolate strip Of
barren coast, and two dreary towns
from which the nitrates and minerals
mined in that region are shipped de
pend for their subsistence upon food
brought to them in the ships from the
fertile strips to the north and south
of the desert.
Northern Russia and the shores of
the French Congo are said to be the
cloudiest places in the world, and for
fog there is no region like the Grand
Banks, the southern coast Of New
foundland, and the waters of Nova
Scotia.
This region is enc of fog for large
part of the year, and the very home
of the fog is the island of Grand
Manan. at the entrance of the Bay OF
Fundy, where, the sailors declare, the
natives manufacture fog. When a
bank of specially thick fog is seen ap-
preaching over the waters the marin.
ers turn to each other and say THE
Grand Mananers are at work"

But Case Dismissed

A warrant was sworn out by John
Longcore this morning for the arrest

board or two to fix the mill race, and
was not intending to do any wrong.
