White Rabbit Whisky.

A Kentucky colonel. down at Louis
vile, one evening rounded up the
crowd at a thirst emporium and told
his guests to nominate their pizen. "
A tall and typically southern planter
from Pike county ordered Scotch
highball. This seemed to thrill the
colonel with CONSERVATION. Rushing
to his friend, he thus protested:
What can you mean by such a rad
zeal departure from your raising?
You've been drinking white rabbit all
your life, a Scotch highball will kill
YOU"
What is white rabbit" asked an
innocent nOrtherner

All That Prevented Smith From
Killing Jim Creckbaum.
WAS OVER LITTLE JUG OF WHISKY
TRAGEDY OCCURRED
NEAR HAINEs ORE. WE'D
NESDAY NIGHT.

What came near to being a serious
tragedy occurred at Haines Wednesday
to shoot Jim Chickbaum with a $500
rifle, says the Baker City Herald. 1t
seems from the story told by those
coming from Haines that Smith was
slightly under the influence of liquor
He had secured 5000 rifle and came
to Haines looking for Crickbaum The
latter was in a store when Smith ap-
peared on the walk in front, leveled the
gun, took good aim at Crickbaum and
pulled the trigger. But providence in
tervened for the gun merely snapped
and before Smith could work the
magazine and take another aim friends
had disarmed him.
Smith, it is said had been working
with a threshing crew and had taken
a jug of whiskey to the farm Some
time during the night some one stole
this jug Of whiskey and Smith got
fighting mad. He believed that Crick-
baum stole the whiskey and conse-
quently set out to get Crickboum's
scalp. He secured the rifle and went
to Haines where the trouble occurred.
Smith was arrested and it is not
known what the outcome of the fight
will be but it is understood that he
will be fined and let go.

BRING HOME SEEKERS.

Nothing VIII Build Up n Community
Like Good Roads.
The commercial bodies, the railroads
and the newspapers are bending every
possible effort to secure immigration.
In other words. to attract the attention
Of the solid and substantial home seek
Ing element and bring them here as
home makers and there Is no one thing
that will induce them to come and
cause them to stay more than good
roads, said speaker at the Oregon
good roads convention.
The Willamette valley would have
had more than double its present popu-
lat1on had more attention been given
to this subject. Real estate men In all
parts Of this valley will tell you that
In many cases they have located good
farmers from the older states, but on
account Of bad roads and the utter i'm
possibility to get around, the women
folks got homesick and blue and urged
their husbands to go back to the old
home where they could get out occa-

to church in comfort.
In speaking of good roads l also
mean to include good sidewalks and
good streets. In order to secure pros
perity and happiness either in the city,
town or country, we must have good
roads for the pedestrian, the buggy, the
wagon, the bicycle and the automobile
The modern idea Of laying out an ad-
dition or improving given section of
any city Is most successful when the
streets and sidewalks are built In adj
vance, and in making such improve
ments the real estate owner not only
gets a profit on the land he has for
sale, but he gets profit upon the i'm
provements he makes, and he is en-
titled to it. The investor or home seek
er who gets into such an addition or
locality shows good sense because he
knows he does not have to depend
upon his neighbors or the municipal
government.

HIGHWAY LEAGUES.
How the Farmers of Illinois VIII
Improve the Roada.

How the Farmers of Illinois VIII
Improve the Roads.
Steps have been taken by the Illinois
highway commission to organize the
farmers of the state into leagues for
the maintenance and improvement of
the public highways, says the Motor
News. Several leagues have already
been organized.
The Illinois highway commission was
created by the last general assembly
and has taken up in earnest the work
of improving the roads throughout the
state. Nearly $5OOO,OOO is spent an
nually in Illinois in maintaining high
ways and bridges. The aim of the
commission is to improve the roads
without adding extra expense to the
taxpayers.
ways in Illinois are earth roads. A. N.
Johnson of Springfield, the engineer Of
the commission. has given special at
tentiOn to this class of roads. and he
asserts that they can be greatly i'm
proved by "dragging' at a merely
nominal expense to the farmers.
When the farmers leagues are or
ganized and the work placed on a sys-
tematic basis 1t Is proposed by the
commission to have all the farmers in
certain section turn out and drag
the roads when they are wet and in the
proper condition. Without an organ
ization this cannot be done, as each
one now leaves 1t to another to do.
with the result that the roads are not
attended to or repaired at the proper
time.
The method which has been found to
work satisfactorily in Iowa and Mis-
souri, consists in dragging heavy logs
along the highways at slight angle.
which throws the soft mud or clay to-
ward the center Of the road. The logs
are about nine feet in length, with
fattened surface.

CHEMICAL CURIOSITIES.

Some Interesting Experiments For
Our Boys and Girls to Make.
Wet a large piece Of blotting paper
with red litmus water and throw or
to 1t a small piece Of potassium. The
potassium will run about the paper
and wherever it touches it will leave
a blue track behind it. which is caused
by the formation of potash.
Cut a block of ice about six inchef
square and bore hole in it half All
inch wide and two inches deep. En-
large the bottom of the hole to form q
sort of cavity and drop into it piece
of potassium about the size Of pea
The potassium will instantly take fire
and will burn beautifully In the ice
making a very pretty sight, especially
if the room is otherwise dark. The
room should also be warm when you
make the experiment
Would you believe that an icicle can
fire a cannon? Try this with a toy
one: Load the cannon and on the gun
powder on the touchhOle put piece of
potassium no larger than a pinhead.
Now touch the speck of potassium with
q piece of ice, and it will flare up, set
ting fire to the gunpOwder
Drop piece of potassium about the
size of a pea into bowl Of water It
will take fire and run around the sur
face of the water until it is burned up,
looking like some fiery serpent in the
water by reason of it's rapid movement

multiplied by itself gives 40 as a
result; 40 consequently is square
number. being termed the square root
from which it springs. In high num-
bers the extraction of the square root
Is an affair Of time and trouble, and
after all the necessary calculations
have been made it may perhaps be
found that the number is not a square
number. This unnecessary trouble
may be saved If the following instruc-
tons are remembered: Every square
number ends with one Of the figures 1,
4, 5, 6 or 8, or with two ciphers pre-
coded by one or other Of these figures
Again, every square number is equally
Invisible by 4, or when divided by
will have a remainder of l. Thus. as
shown above, the square Of is 40
which divided by gives us a quotient
II and l over; GA again is a square
number, and it is exactly Invisible by f.
