months ago he bought red and purple
hose to conform with the colors Of his
vestments worn at certain ceremonies.
The hose were shipped direct to Los
Angeles where the collector Of GUS
toms decided that the articles must
stand q sixty per cent duty, under the
provision i'm the tariff for silk wearing

Versed.

NEW ELECTRIC LINE
WALLULA AND COVELLO
10 BE CONNECTED.
Line of 100 Miles in Length VIII BE
Constructed in Columbia and Frank
lin Counties-Will Cost Practically
$4,000, 900, or $4,000 Per Mile
Wallula to Be the River Terminus.

The Commercial club of Dayton,
Wash, has started a movement to fl
nance an electric line from Covello in
Columbia county, to Wallula, and now
has sufficient capital in sight to make
the construction practically certain.
In speaking of the road the Walld
Walla Union says:
Including the branch from Waits
burg by way of Dixie and Walla Walln
to Touchet station, the total length OF
the line is placed at 12O miles.
Reports from the several electric
lines being built out of Spokane are
to the effect that the average cost pei
mile, including equipment, was $22,-
900. Comparing the topography of the
country around Spokane and that ove'
which the Walla Walla-Columbia
county road is proposed to traverse
the cost of the latter can easily b
placed at 100000 per mile.
The total cost of the line would ther
in round numbers amount to $500
900 and could be raised with little ef-
fort In the two counties. The right oi
way, 1t has been assured, can be easily
secured, from the fact that every lane
owner will be more than pleased tC
have such n line as near as possible
to his premises.

THINGS ARE DOING AT BURLEY
Irrigation Project and Other Import
ant Improvements.

Major Fred R. Reed arrived yes
terday from Burley, says the Boise
Statesman.
The Major states that the pumps
have been ordered for the plant that
is to be installed for pumping water
upon a tract of $500 acres adjoining
the Burley townsite. They are to be
run with electricity, for which a con-
tract has been made with the sho-
shone Falls company.
4 contract is being let for great
number of trees with which all the
the streets of the towns are to be
lined, 1t being the intention to beau
tify the place extensively.
There are now 1875 buildings in the
town the major says. The warehouse
Of the Snake River Implement COM
pany has beer completed. It is 40x
125 feet, and IL carloads of imple-
ments have been stored in it. The de-
| pot building, which is go feet long, is
/ to be extended so feet and rock for
/ the foundation is being hauled. The
/ Henry NJ Wagner Brewing company
/ Of salt Lake has put in a cold storage
/ house, and two others have been in
stalled i'm the town. 4 10000 gallon
/ tank is being put in by the Conti-
. mental oil company Altogether, the
t0yn makes fine showing and the
. people are confident respecting the
future Of the place.

Wants and Needs,

The moment the monthly salary
crosses the bare necessity line, that
moment the horizon Of wants begins
to widen, says Harper's Bazaar For
every dollar the salary increases the
imagination finds a place for 81, SO, S4
or So. A great part of the demands
existing in the world today are ro-
mantle. How shall the imagination
be schooled, where shall the line be
drawn?
1t should be considered a part of
morality to live within the income, but
on every side there seems to be an
attempt to stretch the $1,000 income to
a $1,000 scale, the $1,000 income to Il
$1,000 scale, $1,000 is made to do duty
for $4,000 and $1,000 is thinly stretched
to the breaking point to stimulate a
$4,000 income. With every added dol
lar the horizon of wants will widen
unless the imagination is wisely school
ed. Sadly do we need training to draw
the line between wants and needs.

Tho story sf n Rrno,..

To lovers Of outdoors there are few
things in the wide world which are
more enchanting, more altogether de-
lighting, than just such brook, whose
course-whose life, so to speak-I have
been trying to bring to the mind Of
those who know all its turns and
whims and caprices in summer and In
winter, in spring and in autumn, when
much rain had maddened it and when
none had caused it to shrink into a
warped thing of nature without form
and void. We may be hundreds of
miles from the brook which we know
best, but we know it is flowing just as
1t used to do, and there is ever the
thought that If we cannot see it In It's
daily moods there are others who may
do so. And, no matter the name Of the
peaceful valley through which it flow
ed or where that valley may be, it
was the brook of our childhood, and
there is a brook, or ought to be, away
back somewhere in the mind of every
one whose heart and memory take him
back to the scenes where at least some
younger days were spent.-Outdoors

The Penang Patrol Wagon.

Writing Of the local patrol wagon the
Penang correspondent of the Straits
Times, Singapore, says: ut forcibly
calls to mind at first sight four wheel

drawn by about the slowest pair Of
bullocks in the settlement. There Is
nothing grim at all about 1t, for it Is
commanded BY a sleepy Malay con-
stable perched on the box; its roof and
sides are formed Of white canvas, and
it has no door to close at the back, but
merely an opening In WHICH another
Malay constable Aalf Aumbers. Two
Of thfee other eonstables ride inside sit

who seem to be too struck with novelty
Of the ride to make any attempt at es-
cape. l should say that an escape from
this prison van would be as easy as
falling off a log"

LOCAL OPTION LAW SUSTAINED.
County Court Has No Right to Re
scind its Own Proclamation,

\. Newman, c. NJ. Cooper and Hem
ry L. Fields were tried before Jus
tice Goodrich on January 26 for SELL
ing intoxicating liquor at Nyssa. says
the Vale Oriano. The Nyssa case was
fought ON the ground that the local
option law would not hold in Nyssa
as the county court had rescinded the
order to close. George w. Hayes
represented the defense. McCulloch,
the state.
McCulloch's contention was that as
the court had issued the order at one
time ii could not destroy the law by a
resembling order. That when the law
once became law it was beyond the
power of the court to repeal it, Also
on the ground that when the people
passed the law it became effective of
its own accord.
The court sustained this contention.
This case differs from the Vale case
in that in the Vale case the charter
gave the authority to the liquor men
over the local option law. No char
ter contention was brought out in the
Nyssa case.

Texas Fever Attacks sherman Coun-

Many Sherman county people who
have accumulated modest fortunes
raising Oregon wheat have got Sc
we're cases of Texas fever and are dis
posing of their Oregon holdings and
investing the money in lands in north
western Texas. The following from
the Moro Observer shows the extent
to which the southern fever is attack
ing the people of conservative Sher-
man county:
G. E. James bought E. A. Cush-
mans Texas sections at an advance,
and Mr.. Cushman has gone back to
dig up another cinch. E. A. Kase-
burg throwed up a SAL, 900 proposition
here and has gone to Texas. The fe-
yer is becoming contagious. As a
man said the other day. THE whole
blamed country has got to be develop
ed. There are lots of folks down
there just getting rich in spite of
themselves. They don't know that
they've got the world world skinned
to finish for ready-made opportuni-
ties, but it's fact all the same. The
money it will take to fit a man out
for renting in Sherman county will
buy two sections of good land there

The deputy sheriff from Walla

in here claims TO have got the horses
of him. Tuttle is wintering his stock

TEN ACRES LAND Is SINKING.
About Ten Miles Below Mt. Vernon,
on the John Day.

About 10 miles below Mt. Vernon.
near the John Day river, is a sec
ton of country that has attracted
considerable attention during the past
few months from the fact that it Is
showing signs of sinking. This has
been referred to by many who have
visited that locality, and there can be
no question about the correctness Of
the statement.
From the best information that can
be obtained by the Blue Mountain
Eagle the tract of land is located
north Of the John Day river and con-
tains an area Of about 10 acres. It
began sinking early last year, AMI
when last noticed, it had sunk in
places as much as three feet.
No cause for this strange action
can be assigned, since no earthquake
shock has ever been felt along the
John Day valley, at least not in recent
years
