THREE HOBOES
WHO ARE WISE

Nome has been known far and near
for much of the time since the ruby
sands of her beach first yielded gold as
a place where idleness during the win
ter months prevailed among large
number Of men, but it has always been
supposed to be a place where no dog
was allowed to revel in the luxury OF
vagrancy. This last supposition is en-
tirely erroneous, as is proven by the
fact that there are at least three mem.
bers OF the canine population who have
discovered that work is unnecessary as
a means of existence.
The three wise ones are to be seen
about the sidewalks baskipg in the
warm sunshine, 1.-THE world forgetting,
and by the world forgot" One is u
large black specimen, about whose
lineage the least said the better, and
his companion is a black and
white mixture of native and domestic

low collie, the occurrences of whose de-
pertinent would stamp him anything
but hobo.
The three acknowledge no man as
master, and scorn to move from under
foot, as they shun anything that looks
like harness.
They have solved one Of the great
problems Of life.

With the earth whirling at more
than a thousand miles an hour toward
the east, necessarily every point OF
Greenwich would show a later day,
every point west would show an earlier
day, of the same date, up to the place
on the earth's surface arbitrarily Sc
lected as the date. or line, from which
the reckoning of each new calendar
had should begin. This line has been
drawn north and south in the Pacific
ocean, $50 degrees east and west OF
Greenwich, where it causes the incon-
venence. If you cross the date line
going west you must add day to keep
up with the calendar. For the sans
reason, you must deduct day if you
cross it going east.
To illustrate this, imagine person
standing on the date line at midnight
between Sunday and Monday; step to
the west would put him in Monday, or
one day ahead; a step to the east would
put him in Sunday, or one day back. 1t
can be seen easily enough how much
inconvenience might be caused on land
by two days humping their edges to-
gether at date line.
For this reason the line was drawn
in mid-ocean. However, owing to the
presence of islands in the only place
where such line could be drawn with
out striking vast tracts OF land, the
date is crooked. This irregularity
caused the odd condition in which
three days are in progress in the earth
for short period of each twenty-four
hours. There are always parts of two
days on the earth, midnight making ar
imaginary barrier constantly moving
westward and holding the days apart.
The idea that day is gained or lost as
one travels around the world east OF
west is wrong, for the reason that the
traveller westward has longer days, and
vice versa.

Oil Tanks Leaking.

The oil tanks of the Kelly Co. on the
tundra back of Front street east, are in
bad shape, caused by the frost Of the
winter and the "heaving" of. the
ground. AS a result the tanks are leak

been collected on the beach by different
people.

chase Price Of s.ie ordered by Mr..
Pratsch, but which he refused to receive
and pay for, alleging it did not come up
to the specifications agreed upon by him
and the selling agent.
The Safe company relied upon the
contract signed by Mr.. Pratsch, and set
up that the safe fully complied with all
the requirements therein set out, and
decided to make the case test of the
validity OF the form OF contrrct used by
them, as they are having similar disputes
at frequent intervals and wanted the
matter determined. The verdict gave
the company judgment for $l35 and costs
of suit, amounting to about 500, and
will have to stand, as the case does not
involve sufficient sum to permit an APP.

The Echo corresp ondent of the
Spokesman Review writes: Next
Monday morning force of survey

In this section, with view of com.
pleting a report to the department.
A portion uf this work was completed
last fall, and from that a practical
report was turned in. 1t will take
but short time to complete the
work this spring. According to the
report, the scheme for this district
Is about as follows:
The Umatilla valley, starting a
short distance above here aud extend
ing to the Columbia river, the en-
gineers say, Is easily irrigated. They
claim 1t will be no great task to
store up the waters to he led out over
the district. One massive reservoir
Is to be constructed at some point
near this town. Smaller reservoirs
will be built at the foot of the Blue
MOUNTAINS, 10 eaten the spring noods.
Long iron pipes will connect the
smaller reservoirs near the mountains
with the large reservoirs here.
The valley from here to the Col.
umbia river Is comparatively level,
and thousands Of acres of desert land
which give forth nothing now except
sagebrush and weeds could be sup.
piled with sufficient quantity Of
water to make the soil highly pro-
ductive. The value of irrigation to
this section is shown by the private
irrigation schemes which have been
conducted on small scales. Excel

been obtained.
