MUNICIPAL PLANT
COUNCIL DISCUSSES
PROPOSITION OF NEW
LIGHTING SYSTEM.

| PENDLETON, Feb. THAT Pendle-
tons city council is seriously consider
ing the proposition of municipal owner
ship of an electric lighting plant de-

It came up in connection with the re-
newal of the contract with the North
western Gas & Electric company for
the city's lights.
! After brief discussion the light
committee, was authorized to enter
into contract with the company for
two years only as it seemed to be the
impression that by that time the city
might be in position to furnish its
own light ana power. The contract pro-
vides for the furnishing of eight addi-
tional street lights with the same cost
| to the city as at present. bringing the
price paid for each arc light down to
81 per month.

ship was brought up by Assessor Strain

YOUTH OF NINETEEN
SENTENCED TO PRISON
Angered, He Vows He Will Kill Officer
Who Arrested Him.

SEATTLE, Wash. February T.
Having pleaded guilty to three
charges of burglary. Ike Hipness. 10
years of age, was sentenced to an inde-
terminate term Of from one to four
|teen years in the penitentiary yester-
|day, by Judge Smell In passing sem
tence Judge Smell took occasion to
point out to the youth the folly of his
scrimes, and advised him to apply HIM
self to learning a trade during his i'm
|prisonment, that he might be able to
learn an honest living on his release.
The advice of the court. however.
was apparently thrown away upon the
prisoner, who stood in sullen silence.
Hipness is one of the most desperate
young prisoners who has fallen into
the hands of the local authorities. and
he has a long record of crime. In adj
dition to the burglaries charged
against him he fired a shot at a brake
man some time ago. when he was put
off for stealing a ride.
AS he was being led back to the
county Jail after being sentenced. Hip
ness declared that when he was re-
leased he would take the first opportu-
nity to kill Policeman Gardner. whom
he blames for his arrest.

during the day consulting a physi-

instead of the portion of the bridge
set aside for pedestrians.

Here we have the mistake that Is
made right along of thinking that the
multiplication of possessions increases
in like proportion the degree Of happi-
ness. One has only to compare in i'm
agination some finely equipped house
Of the restless rich with the modest
little home of some contented $15-a-
week couple to recognize that the i'm
plements of the work count for less
than the spirit Of the worker.
Tools enough to avoid annoyance and
vexatious delays there must be; but
pity the day when happiness seems to
depend upon gas ranges with water
fronts attached, upon kitchen cabinets,
and multiplicity Of knives and spoons.

ANECDOTES OF IBsEN.

His Dislike of Seeing His Plays
Staged-AnnOyed by Gossip.
Ibsen had a great distaste for see
ing his own plays on the stage. At the
first production of ,'Ghosts" in Ger
many I5sen was present.
He sat with a friend in the stalls,
and throughout the performance kept
on pinching his companion and ejacu-
lating, "Oh! oh" in apparent agony,
varying the exclamation at some points
as when Regina made her entrance
in peasant costume-with an emphatic
ooh, nein."
81 have quite definite conceptions"
he once said,' ''of my own characters,
and the actors come between me and
those conceptions, in some cases perma-
nently distorting or Obscuring them"
Norway is a hotbed of tittle-tattle.
Everybody knows everybody, and every
body knows a great deal more about
everybody else than they know them
selves. One has only to read Ibsens
plays to realize the prevalence and pow
er of personal gossip.
Ibsen was at one time violently I'M
popular in his own country; and
though in his old age his frame was
looked upon as a national possession.
the habit of malicious and mendacious
chatter about his concerns still held
it's ground.
My brother was one day going to call
upon him in Christiania, and remarked
to a friend resident in the town that
if Ibsen was not home he hoped he
might see Fru (Mrs.) Ibsen.
"Oh, no. said his friend, 'you won't
see her; she hasn't been able to live
with him for five years."
My brother paid his call, and the first
person he saw on crossing the thresh-
old was Fru Ibsen. The incident was
typical.-Monthly Review.

Would Wed to BE Free.

Talk about the freedom Of the bach

in a bachelor fiat. Il am beginning to
think seriously of marrying in order to

at home where l am the slave instead

N"There are few tyrants as unbe1ding

her for more than two years and that
is long enough to make her an institu-
tiOn-and she has come to care for the
fiat to the entire exclusion of the wants

MAILS CARRIED IN 1cEBoArs.

Passengers, Too, When It's Winter
Up In Prince Edward Island.
Few civilized places are so isolated
In the winter time as is Prince Edward
island, which is one of the maritime
provinces of the Dominion OF Canada,
says the New York Sun. It lies north
Of the Province Of Nova Scotia and
east Of the Province Of New Brunswick,
being separated from both by Northum-
berland strait
So much for geography, which is ia
miliar enough, for Prince Edward ISL
and has become a popular summer re-
sort. 1t will not be a popular winter
resort, however, until the climate
changes radically.
Northumberland strait promptly
freezes over for the most part pretty
early In the winter and communication
is q hazardous matter. It is just as
bad as getting across Great South bay
in the depth Of winter and the method
Of crossing is the same. A variation OF
the scooter" or that continuance
which is part sled and part boat, is
the sole means of travelling.
There is one difference between tho
winter navigation of Great South bay
and Of Northumberland strait. Traffic
across Great South bay is not regular,
as those who are forced to inhabit Fire
island know to their sorrow. But ice
boats make regular trips to Prince Ed
ward island all through the cold spell.
The cold spell is prolonged, usually
from mid-December to May.
The favorite routes for the iceboats
is from Cape Tormentine in New Brun-
swick to Cape Traverse on the island"
as the insular province is called locally.
That makes a trip Of about twenty-five
miles.
The mails have to be carried whether
or no In Canada, and many a perilous
journey is made by the carriers. The
iceboats are large enough to carry pas
sengers and quite few are transport
ed In the course Of the long winter.
Those who make the trip ind it an ex-
perience worth remembering.
