EIkS Announce Biz Carnival

Good. When the Elks do anything
they do it right" was the sentiment ex-
pressed on the street this morning
when the announcement was made by
the executive committee of Walla Wal
la lodge, No. 2S7, B. P O. Elks that
a carnival, opening Dece mber 2S and
continuing for one week, was to be
held in Pavilion rink, for the benefit of
the building fund of the order.
The executive committee. consisting
of Fire Chief William Metz, J. J.
Kaufman. B. c. Holt and H. r. Ker-

of the jolliest times ever indulged in
by Walla Wallans, and the fact that
the city's two heavy weights, Metz
and Kaufman. are on the committee
backed by such live fun producers as
Holt and kershaw speaks most fav-
orably for the success of the under
taking, which will be along lines sim

Merry Christmas
For the NeedV

Elaborate preparations are being
made by Adjutant Arthur A. wilkins,
of the local Salvation army corps, for
the annual Christmas dinner for the
poor and needy of the city. Already
the baskets which will contain the
delicacies Of the holiday season have
been secured, and boxes for the do
nations of the more prosperous have
been placed in the business houses.
Friday has been set as the day for
the appearance of the boiling pots"
on the street corners, and old Santa
will not be lacking.
1t is estimated tnat in the neigh
borhood of 40 boxes will be put out
this year by the local army workers
each box containing sufficient provis-
ions for a family of six people, and
two chickens will be substituted for
the beef roast that was given last
year. 1t is requested that farmers Or
others wishing to donate poultry to
the cause, leave the gifts with Ad
jutant Wilkins at Army headquarters
West Alder street, or at his home, 704
West Poplar street.
An estimate of the cost of ti:e
Christmas program as mapped out by
Adjutant Wilkins will aggregate $3.50,
and in order that there may be no dis
appointments, it is desired that sub
scriptions be made as literally as pos
sible. Each basket given out is 70
cost approximately SO, and as there
will be 40 of them, the cost of the
dinners alone will reach the $120
mark The tree to be at
Army barracks, III West Alder street,
has been estimated at $50, and hired
help and sundries have been listed at
$40.
In addition to the expenses incurred
for holiday cheer, Adjutant Wilkins
estimates that shoes and clothing Will
be needed, as last year more than $40
was required to supply the needy with
clothing. Any cash that may be left
over after the holiday festivities are
closed, will be used in purchasing
clothing and shoes.

Secret Service.

Last year an amendment was incOr-
porated in the measure providing for
the secret service, which provided that
there should be no detail from the
secret service and no transfer there
from. 1t is not too much to say that
this amendment has been of benefit
only, and could be of benefit, to the
criminal classes. If deliberately in
troduced for the purpose of diminish

cohol which is to be denatured for
those purposes. The law of June Z,
1906, and it's amendment of March 2,
1907, accomplished what was desired
in that respect, and the use of dena-
tured alcohol, as intended is making
a fair degree of progress, and is en-
titled to further encouragement and
support from the congress.
Pure Food.
"The pure food legislation has al
ready worked a benefit difficult to
overestimate.
Indian Service.
ut has been my purpose from the
beginning of my administration to take
the Indian service completely out OF
the atmosphere of political activity.
and there has been steady progress to-
ward that end. The last remaining
stronghold of politics in that service
was the agency system, which had
seen it's best days and was gradua ly
falling to pieces from natural or pure
ly evolutionary causes, but, like all
such survivals, was Iecaying slowly,
in it's later stages. 1t seems clear that
it's extinction had better be made now,
so that the ground can be cleared for
larger constructive work on behalf of
the Indians, preparatory to their in
duction into the full measure of res
ponsible citizenship. On November 1
only 1S agencies were left on the rost-
er; with two exceptions, where some
legal questions seemed to stand tenn
porarily in the way, these have been
changed to superintendencies, and their
heads brought into the classified civil
service.

Bishops Tale About Nurses.

st. Louis man, "once presided at the
graduation exercises of a class of nurses.
He told the young women a story that
pleased them nightly,
He said that during our war with
Spain certain hospital had a corps Of
nurses of exceptional beauty-just. such
IA corps, in fact, as the young ladies
ranged before him would have made.
But it was whispered that these fair
nurses were inclined to little frivolity,

Old Cannon a Clock Weight.

The most unique clock weight in Maine
is that of the Baptist church at Cherry
field, an old smooth bo' Z cannon. The old
cannon was one of the old smooth bore
type and was brought by Gleason X.
Campbell from Boston on one OF the re-
turn trips of lumber vessels. 1t was
brought to fire salutes, as the stirring
days of the Civil war were at hand. Att
er announcing many Union victories dur
ing the war, az the surrender OF Lee IN
1860 it was taken out for Il final and
great salute. Robert l.. Wiley, a soldier
of the war. who vas at home on tur-
Tough, was in charge of the cannon, and
through some msmanagement Il prema-
ture discharge of the gun threw Mr. Will
ley high in the air, filled his face with
powder and tore one arm off close at the
shoulder. The old gun was then spiked
by the angry citizens and did no more
salute service. When the Second Baptist
church building was built in 1873 a
weight being wanted for the clock, the
old gun was used For thirty years it did
clock duty until 1903, when it once more
received baptism of fire and fell in the
ruins of the church contla grafton that
December. When the new clock was in
stalled in the new church building in
1906 once more the old cannon mounted
the tower to DO clock duty.-kennebec

Story of an Amateur POultryman.
About the most sensible (and l

beginning | ever saw made in the poul-

lived in the suburbs of a nearby city
He sustained a severe attack Of the
"hen fever" and. as is the usual occur
renee, became enthused over the "enor-
nous profits to be made with poultry.
He did not, however allow his
enthusiasm to get the best of the bet
ter judgment, and cause him to resign
his clerkship and Immediately embark
in the poultry business on a more or
less extended scale, as has so frequent
ly occurred but, instead, he held on to
his clerkship, fixed up good, comfort
able little house on a back lot, bought
dozen standard bred hens and Il
rooster at dollar a head, of neigh
boring faucier, and thus made his
start.
This was early in the spring; during
the spring and summer he furnished
the family table with eggs and chick
ems. and, besides. Matched and raised
something like a hundred young chicks.
Out of these he retained twenty-five Of
the best pullets for breeders, and, of
course, at the same time charging his
house room and SO, by the next spring,
we find that his business has, from nat
ural causes. tripled itself, and all this
time our friend has been steadily and
rapidly gaining in practical knowledge
of the business.
This natural increase continued for
another year or two. and by this time
he had his business so firmly establish

edge of town, and then and there be

to show a nice little sum on the right

five first prizes and cups, in addition to

less than the extreme depths of the sea,
yet are exceptional heights, while the
