Twin Earthauakea.

Earthquakes which consist of two
shocks separated by brief interval of
quiet or Of two maxima of intensity
are known as twin earthquakes. In
Great Britain one in about every TWEEN
ty earthquakes is twin, and the stron-
gest shocks experienced in that coun-
try belong to this variety. 1t is be-
lieved that twin earthquakes are due
to impulses arising from two deached
foci. separated In different cases from
four to more than twenty miles, but

In line with the suit brought by
Walla Walla sheepmen through Hal
ley & Lowell of this city recently, a
similar suit, to test the validity of the
law passed by the last oregon legis-
lature providing for the collection Of
a tax of 20 cents a head on all sheep
whose owners are non-residents of
the state of Oregon, was started by 10
big sheepmen of Walla Walla Satur-
day. The suit is directed against s..
NJ. Goff. stock inspector Of Union
county, who is delegated with the
power to assess and collect the tax.
The papers in the case were made
out i'm Walla Walla and mailed to La
Grande Saturday to be filed. The
plaintiffs in the case are w. p. Reser,
Johnson Brothers DAWN & Eyraud,
T. A. and Felix Won Hollenbeke,
Kydd and Grant, Joseph DAWN, Mo-
tett Bros, C. w. Stevelin and II. c.

neighborhood of $4,000 head OF sheep,
now grazing on public lands in Union
county and subject TO the tax of 20
cents a head.
The plaintiffs set up that the act
is unconstitutional and imposes dou-
bic taxation upon the property of nom
residents. Taxes for 1905 were paid
i'm Walla Walla county a short time

to light a swindle that has cost the
gambling houses Of Reno thousands
or dollars w'tbir tho nnSt r"v dnVS.
The discovery was made by roulette
dealer.
The little black compartments in
the wheel were cleverly plugged with
lead. thus deadening the ivory ball,

A SILENT TONGUE.
There Are Times When II II the Part

The best of US talk too much "The
essence Of power is reserve" said a
man who knew.
Many a reputation has been built on
silence Many n one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely and vOlubly into
speech.
II Is safe 10 be silent when your
words would wound. Faithful are the
wounds Of Il friend, says the old prov
erb, but one wants to be mighty sure
ones friend needs the wounding and
that we are qualified to administer It.
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. 1t is infinitely better to he
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life.
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An lncred-
ible amount Of breath is used in the
evil practice Of trying TO make our
friends dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say is merely for the purpose of exalt-
ing yourself.
Shut your lips with a key when you
are inspired TO babble lncOntlnently OF
yourself-your ailments, accomplish
ments, relations, loves, hatreds, hopes
and desires. 1t is only to the choice,
rare friend that one may speak OF

THE DOUGLAS PINE.
A Tree That IL the Memorial Both of

Tree That IL the Memorial Both Of
Man and n Tragedy.
A tree whose name is at once the
memorial both Of man and tragedy
is the Douglas pine, famous for its
magnificent cones. Now, David Doug
las was originally a Scotch lad who
came under the notice of Sir William
Hooker, the well known bOtanist, and
through his influence was appointed
collector of rare plants TO the Horti-
cultural society. He Travelled for the
society in all parts of the world and
was extraordinarily successful in his
finds. II was he who discovered lu-
pins, eschscholtzias and gOdetias as
well as many magnificent varieties of
pine trees, including the one bearing
his name. But when quite a young
man he met a tragic fate while plant
hunting He was in the Sandwich
isles, and there the natives dig deep
pits to catch wild animals, covering
them over with branches and grass ia
conceal their openings. On to one OF
these treacherous pits Douglas walked
one day when alone and was at once
precipitated to the bottom. No help
was at hand. and he was devoured by
wild beast which was also impris
oned.
