WE ARE DYING YOUNGER.
Only the Babies Have a Better
Chance of Survival Now.

In view of all that has been said
about the fall in the death rate II
seems strange to realize. says Health
Culture, that we are not living so
long as our grandfathers and grand
mothers did.
More babies live TO grow up nova
days than formerly, but people in
later life die younger. Once arrived
at adult age the average man or
woman has fewer years Of survival
to expect.
This seems on the face OF IL so
surprising a statement that in or
der to be accepted it should be
backed up by data authentic and in
disputable. Such data are furnished
by the figures of the insurance COM
panies (which all agree on the
point, but il is easier TO refer to
the government census reports which
tell the tale in simple and conyinc-
ing fashion. Even during the last
Is years the death rate among all
persons over 55 years Of age of both
sexes has risen very considerably.

Paid for Stolen Cherries.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 81, 1908.
Mr.. f. A. Seufert.
The Dalles. Oregon.
Dear Sir:-About ~ years ago
went into your orchard and picked
about gallon OF cherries, for which
7 know you could have placed mt
under arrest. but l will be glad ant
thankful to you II you will be so kind
and accept the 50 as payment for my
theft as want to be right with God
and man. With sincerity,
p. c. PETERSON.
The above letter was received by
Mr.. Seufert yesterday and was most
gratifying to the gentleman as well
as his friends. who are now satisfied
that there is one honest man In this
great big world who while tempted
by the view OF luscious cherries which
are grown at the Cherry City, is will
ing not only to pay for them, but al
so TO pay interest on the money as
good investment. The money will be
turned over to the church by Mr.. Seu-
fert so that the good work will go on
lndefinitely.-The Dalles Chronicle.

Merely a Question of Peas.

"Peas is peas" said j. C. Berry
whose dry land products took frs
prizes at the state fair last fall. III
was intimated by someone in the Re-
public day or two ago that my dry
land peas took the first premium be-
cause there was no other exhibitor
OF peas In competition with mine at
the state fair last fall. This is not
fair. although It comes up on fair
proposition. To appease the suspi-
cion that my peas took the blue rib
bon because they were alone, want
to say that the rule made 1t neces-
sary that any prize-wlnning exhibit
had to be meritorious to earn the
prize awarded 1t before 1t received it.
my peas we're raised on the dry
land OF the Blackrock district. I
am willing to wager the blue ribbon
accorded them that they are equal to
the best peas raised In the county on
irrigated land. The yield may not
have been so great, but the size and
quality were there. / will defend the
reputation of Blackrock peas and po-
tatoes and "punkins' against such a
base and malicious libel as that con-
tanned in the suggestion that they
took the prize because they had no
competitor. Yakima Republic.

Ne,ysnaners Protest.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Scores of
protests are pouring into the postof-
flee department. demanding revls-
ion of the new rulings regulating the
mailing of newspapers and periodi-
Gals. Prominent publishers all over
the country are interested in the mat
ter, but the country papers are most
seriously affected since under the
ruling they can mail papers at second
class rates only to those whose sub
scrlptions have been paid within a
ysar. The executive committee of
the National Editorial association vii
meet here Monday to consider the
question. and to make ARRANGEMENTS
for the coming convention in st. Paul.

TO PROMOTE RIFLE PRACTICE,
Congress Would Encourage Marks
manshiD In Schools.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 24.-f the
plans of the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice, and the
National Rifle association, meet with
the approval of congress, great I'M
petus will be given to schoolboy rifle
practice in the United States.
A tournament recently held in New
York City met with such conspicu-
Gus success that when the board OF
directors of the National Rifle asso-
citation assembled in Washington II
was unanimously agreed that con-
gress should be asked for an appro-
priation to further the work among
the school children.
The marvellous shooting of the An
napolis cadets and the navy team,
which was composed almost eXclu-
sively of young men, at Annapolis,
coupled with that Of the school boys
at Creedmoor and Sea Girt and on
the miniature range at the recent
sportsman's show, has demonstrated
that lads from 16 years old upward
can be taught to handle the military
rifle with precision.

Bankers" says The Dalles Chronicle
A short time since he would up his
affairs here and went to Portland,
where his address for a time was in
the McCleay building. About. 10 days
ago. according to the statement Of
insurance representatives OF the
companies for whom Perkins trans
acted business, he purchased a ticket
over the Canadian Pacific for New
York, with the intention of continu-
Ing his journey to Santa Domingo.
It has transpired that no one knows
his whereabouts, and 1t is now ascer-

In charge here, would be transferred
to Yakima, where a station will bt
opened.
The office In Lewiston has beer
open little over a year, during
which time about 20 recruits have
been secured for the army. Capt
Bomfred says Lewiston is not good
field for recruiting the army-that
out of 107 men secured during De-
cember at the four stations, Lewiston,
Pullman, Spokane and Standpoint,
only four were secured in Lewiston.
This he attributes to the scarcity Of

BUMPER CROP PROMISED.
Outlook About Walla WalIa Was
Never Better for Wheat.


That Walla Walla county has the
best outlook for a bumper crop d
wheat in many years is the statement
OF County Treasurer w. j. Honeycutt
who returned last night from a trip
through the northeastern part of the
county says the Walla Walla States
man.
In the Waitsburg and Dayton neigh
borhoods much fall seeding was done
and the grain now stands as thick and
rank on the ground as was ever
known here. But while grain has
taken advantage of the excellent
weather OF the past few weeks to get
good start, 1t has not reached such
a height that there is acute danger
of a sudden cold snap cutting it down
and making reseeding necessary.
Farmers on the flat, who have been
forced to reseed for several years. did
not take a chance with fall seeding
this year, with the result that the
acreage of fall sown grain is much
smaller than formerly. Bluestem and
club wheat is, In many Instances
giving way to Turkey Red, which has
been found more successful in certain
parts of the county, although in the
Prescott country, bluestem is consid-
cred as good as gold, with excellent
prospects of record breaking yield
Unless severe winter weather comes
to blight the grain already well start
ed farmers of the county are hope
full of harvesting sure enough prize
winning crop. and consequently hap
piness and light heartedness are much
In evidence in the rural districts.

THROWING HIS FORTUNE AWAY

Throwing away what one has is not

is more often the cause OF losing out
