FRGHTFUL DEGREE OF COLD.
Frost's lntersity Hard for DweiIers in
 Temperate Chimes to Realize.

It is difficult for us to form any con certion of the degree of cold repre- sented by the 80 degrees of frost re- corded from certain parts of Russia Sir Leopold McClintock tells how in one of his Arctic expeditions a sailor was foolish enough to do some outdoor work at precisely this temperature His hands froze and when he rushed into the cabin and plunged one Of them into a basin of water so colo was the hand that the water was in stantly converted into a block of ice At 25 degrees, Dr. Kane says, the mustache and under lip form pendu lous beads of dangling ice. Put out your tongue and it instantly freezes to this icy crusting. Your chin has d trick of freezing to your upper jaw by the luting aid of your beard; my eyes nave often been so glued as to show thar even a wink was unsafe"

A MARRIAGE FICTION.
The Old Time Notion That Matches
Arc Made In Heaven.

The polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint is particularly popu-
lar In America, where 1t is held to be
highly improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good bus
bands for their daughters and immod-
est for girls to manifest any interest
In the subject themselves.
The conventional theory 10. that the
matter is on the knees Of the gods apd
that In due season husbands will be
provided like mamma In the wilderness
for sustenance Of the faithful. Unfor-
tunately this miracle does not always
come of for every woman. The supply
Of mama gives out. There are not
enough husbands to 60 around, and
these are unevenly divided. Some wo-
men get three or four, while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share In the dispen-
eation was their own fault because
they did not put themselves. as old
fashioned Methodists used to say, In
an attitude to receive the blessing

COMPLETING NEW PROJECT.
Twelve Hundred Acres Near Baker
City Under Irrigation.

An example Of what can be done
in the way Of irrigating land in
Powder valley is the project which
has just been completed about 13
miles north of Baker City, says the
Baker City Herald.
Four years ago L. Levlnger, Sam
Baer, Byron Vandecar and F. S.
Heard took up desert claims near the
foothills and today they have an irri-
CATION system known as the Haines
Ditch company, by means Of which
1900 acres of land will be irrigated.
When they filed on the land it was
merely sage brush plains, but now
water has been turned on 1t and sew
eral hundred acres have been sown
in wheat This land cannot be bought
now for $50 per acre and within a
short time 1t will be worth twice that
amount. 1t is fine land for raising
wheat and alfalfa and the investors
expect to realize $40 for every dol
lar they expended on the enterprise.
The water which is performing the
miracles is taken from North Powder
river, flows through the old Mansfield
follows its natural course until 1t is
taken out in a ditch and carried nine
miles to its destination. For a half
mile of this distance the water flows
through a pipe which carries 1t across
Powder river and under the o. r. &
n tracks,
The pipe is continued stave pipe
made of two inch strips of tamarack
bound with iron bands 2k inches
apart to hold 1t together. 1t is 80
inches in diameter. being large
enough to carry more water than is
needed at present.

Insignia Of the Most Coveted Of All
English Orders.

insignia OF the Most Coveted OF All
English Orders.
Although the most coveted Of Eng
lish orders, the origin Of the Garter is
really mystery.
Conflicting authorities assign the
foundation Of the order either to the
28d Of April, st. Georges day, 1874, or
to the game festival FIVE years later,
while the popular anecdote associated
with 1t is that at court ceremony a
lady-either the queen, the Countess Of
Salisbury or the Countess Of Kent
happened to drop her garter, which
was picked up by King Edward ILL.,,
who, observing disposition to laugh
among the bystanders, exclaimed In
his royal dlspleasure, "Honi soft qui
NAL y pense" (disgraced be he who
thinks Ill of it.
The reigning monarch is, Of course,
ex offlcio the sovereign of the Order Of
the Garter.
At first the garter was made Of light
blue silk, but that which is now given
is made of dark blue velvet. 1t Is
worn on the left leg little below the
knee.
The Order Of the Garter as an order
Of chivalry has very deep religious
Significance. 1t is, or should be, at

TO FIX DATE FOR BANKERS.
Committees Meet TO Select Place of
Next Convention.


Lakewood, N. j., May 4.-Members
Of the various committees of the
American Bankers association met
today at the Laurel-in-t Pines hotel
and will remain In session for three
or four days. The principal matter
to be decided is the selection of a
place for the next national conven-
tion of the association. Invitations
have been received from commercial
bodies OF Saratoga, n. Y, Denver,
Col, and Hot Springs, Ark. The in
vitation from Saratoga Is reinforced
by promises of support by the bank
ers of Albany, Schenectady. Troy and
Glens Falls.
Consideration of the matter was
commenced today by the executive
council, and a decision is expected
late today or tomorrow. As the ma
tional convention of bankers was held
In the east last year, there is appar-
emily an inclination to seek the west
this time. Chicago has been men,
toned as the possible place for the
gathering, and may make strong
bid for the meeting at today's con-
ference. The Windy City has not had
a convention since the Worlds Fair
year.

A Touching Paragraph.

Nothing that DR.. Van Dyke has writ
ten, nothing that he ever will write, is
finer or more beautiful than the clos
ing paragraph of his essay, "A Leaf of
Spearmint." He bids loving farewell
to the comrade and father who taught
him how to fish.
"Dear Governor" he writes, and
there are tears and delight in his words
for those who re I'd, ''you have gone out
of the wilderness now, and your steps
will be no more beside these remem-
bered little rivers-no more, forever
andOforever. You will not come in
sight around any bend in this clear
saltwater stream where you made
your last cast: your CHEEKY voice will
never again ring out through the deep
ening twilight where you are lingering
for your disciple to catch up with you;
he will never again hear your call.
Halo, my boy! What luck? Time to
go hOme!' But there is river in the
country where you have gone, is there
nOt?-a river with trees growing all
around it-evergreen trees; and some
where by those shady banks, within
sound Of clear running waters, think
you will be dreaming and waiting for
your boy, if he follows the trail that
you have shown him, even to the end"

Change of Train Schedule.

The new lSouthern Pacific train
schedule went into effect Monday night
at II o'clock. The only passenger
trains affected are Nos. and s. The
former now arrives at $40 a. m. instead
of $40 as heretofore, while No. 8 ar
rives at 5:24 p. m. instead of $50 p. m.
No. will breakfast at Yuma and the
passengers of No. 8 can eat their sup
per here.
The freight schedule has been altered
by cutting out the Yuma-Indio local
entirely. Through freights Nos. 241
and PAP will carry the local freight as
far as Imperial Junction and the IndiO-
Calexico local will take care of it from
there. These changes will be appreci-
ated by the people at Mohawk, when
the ella recedes so it can be crossed
without ferrying, as they can so right
through to Mohawk without stopping
at Mohawk Summit. 1t also gives the
people of Kofa and North Star an all
night rest at Mohawk Summit, going
or coming.

Do Not Crowd the Season

The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to get out and enjoy
the exhilarating air and sunshine. Chill
dren that have been housed up all win
ter are brought out and you wonder
where they all come from. The heavy
winter clothing is thrown aside and
many shed their 1annels. Then cold
wave comes and people say that grip is
epiiemic. Colds at this season are
even more dangerous than in midwinter
as there is much more danger of pneu-
monia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, however, and you will have
nothing to fear. 1t always cures, and
we have never known cold to result
in pneumonia when it was used. 1t is
pleasant and safe to take. Children
like it. For sale at the Ketcherside
