for three years will be adopted. This
is shared BY most Of the public In this

ECCLES TO BUILD ROAD.
This Makes Baker Safe, But Total
Subscription Must Be Raised.

David Eccles, president of the
Sumpter Valley railway. offers to
build the railroad from Baker City
to Eagle Galley, providing the total
subscription of 100000 is raised.
This is a positive statement made by
Mr.. Eccles before leaving Baker City
Saturday. He offers to begin in the
same time as specified in the contract
with w. L. Vinson by the Citizens
league and to complete it within the
same time specified in that contract.
on being pressed by the committee
TO know who was backing him on the
building Of the Eagle Valley railroad
Mr.. Vinson made the following state
ment:
you may say that Mr.. Eccles,
president of the Sumpter Valley rail-
way, has been investigating my prop
osition for some time and is now will
ing to build the road from here to
Eagle valley provided that the total
subscription of 800, 900 is ralsed."-

Nick Fed Kid.

"Thls is milk led kid" said the leath-
er merchant. 1T is very soft and fine
and pliable. isn't it,"
He smoothed the delicate white skin
and went on:
"All first rate kid is milk fed. 1t comes
to us from the French mountaineers.
These men are superb goatherds Their
immense flocks supply the worlds kid
gloves. The goatherds of France are
careful to keep their kids on an ex-
elusive milk diet. They pen the little
animals with their mothers in rocky
Enclosures, where there is no grass. At
that the kids often escape, often man.
age to eat solid food. for, with almost
human perversity, kids that shouldn't
be weaned wean themselves early,
whereas calves that should be weaned
cling like grim death TO milk. One
meal Of grass will spoil kids skin
will rob it of its softness and pliability
will harden and coarsen and stiffen IT.
hence, when you buy kid gloves always
choose the milk fed kind."-Cincinnat
Enquirer.

The Name Tuxedo.

The Tuxedo coat got its name from
the fashionable colony at Tuxedo, and
the original name of the place was
Duck Cedar. Lots of the old natives
still call it Duck Cedar. George Tida-
bech, one of the original settlers of the
country, named the place. The lake
was then much smaller than it is now
and was simply known as the fish
pond. One day old Tidabech and his
sons had gone there to shoot game.
The ducks We're very plentiful; numer-
Gus cedar trees were growing out OF
the rocks along the shore.
Let us give this place name" said
the old man. Let us call it Duck
Cedar"
So Duck Cedar it was and continued
to be for many years until the name
was changed to Tuxedo.

Picking /. way Acro.. n Mouuta,n.

Picking . Way Across n Mountain.
Picking way is good fun, You must
Hrst scout ahead in general. Then you
determine more carefully just where
each hoof is to fall. For instance, 1t Is
question of whether you are to go
above or below certain ledge. You
decide ON going below because thus
you will dodge little climb and also
a rather slippery looking rock slide.
But on investigation you find, hidden
by the bushes, a riven bowlder. There Is
