longer consigned to the category of
things that were. The very newest
wrinkle for the bride is to have the
plate saved for her and converted in
to an article That combines sentiment
and utility, says an exchange.
And why not? The copper plate
costs anywhere from $40 to SIS, and
therefore II has been discarded
considered just about as useful as an
empty champagne bottle or a check
for a seat at last nights theatrical
performance. Not until some ingen-
ious soul discovered that the bride
was being defrauded of her rights to
a certain square Of copper did 1t ever
occur to any one to make inquiry as
to its whereabouts.
Having realized that 1t is hers for
the asking. the up-to-date bride pro-
ceeds to take possession of 1t. And
there isn't anything prettier, by the
way, than a piece Of carefully bur-
nlshed copper.
She doesn't put 1t away with the
rest of her wedding treasures, her
white satin slippers, a bit of orange
blossom or a prayer book bound in
white vellum as her mother or her
grandmother would have done, Not
she.
She hles her to a jeweler and has
a card tray made of it. The only
thing necessary in the transforma-
ton is to round off the corners and
bend up the edges just a bit with an
extra dent on either side of each cor
ner, and she has little tray on
which all who run may read-if they
take the trouble to hold it before a
mirrpr-her wedding invitation or
her announcement, as the case may
be.

ALL ABOARD FOR PILOT ROCK

Within a few days Pilot Rock, that
towering landmark of the old Ore
gon trail. which, since it reared its
head above the vast inland sea Of
Oregon's interior has heard no
sweeter music than the howl of the
coyote, the whizz of the six-shooter
bullet, the crack of the OK whip.
the bark of the sheep dog, the huz-
zas of the cowboys, the hoot of the
querrulous owl or the stentorian
tones of the Pilot Rock Record, will
soon hark to the piercing shrek Of
the locomotive whistle and the clang
Of its warning bell.
With commendable speed the Pilot
Rock branch is being completed and
soon that little town will be connect
ed with the main line of the o. R. &
N.-and like other metropolitan
towns of Oregon, will begin contrib
uting regularly to the Golfers of Mr..
Hartman in passenger fares and
freight receipts.
Pilot Rock has had some thrilling
experiences in the past. For many
years she boasted of the worst whis-
key in eastern Oregon, the quickest
drunk for the money, the loudest
yells and the most Of them in every
pint. the fastest horses, the widest
steers. the best "broncho busters"
the worst outlaw horses and the
bravest men and best pioneer women
III eastern oregon, but
Pilot Rock is sadly lacking in ex-
perience with railroads. She has yet
to learn of demurrage and recipro-
cal demurrage; tariff sheets: distrib-
utive rates; first, second, third and
double first class freight rates; ter
minal facilities; yardage; warehouse
and depot accommodations; passen-
ger rules and regulations and the
cowboy who has braved the hurri-
cane deck of the widest broncho ever
captured on Birch creek will be
compelled to observe the impudent
sign, Don't stand on the Platform"
displayed on the rear end of the
Pilot Rock coach.
Soon the 15-year-old telegraph op-
orator will look with whitening scorn
upon the ignorance Of the old Pilot
Rock pioneer on the intricacies and
unknowable mysteries Of railroading,
and a japanese section crew will
humbly bake their bread where
once the Pilot Rock buckaroo shot
at the stars from the gyrating back Of
a Stewart creek outlaw!
