TRUE FISH BILL

1t Is Very Simple Game, but May Be
Made Quite Expensive.

An emihent Dutch artist during
visit to Paris encountered two of
his former students to whom he had
frequently extended pecuniary as.

exclaimed the elder of these two out
at the elbow bohemians, 'swe can
repay to some little extent the kind
ness you rendered us at Leyden
Come, you must dine with us!"
In spite Of the Dutchman's polite
protestations they each took an arm
and hurried him to the finest hotel
in the city. After a splendid re-
past the master, observing the coun-
tenances of his hosts and guessing
from their shabby appe kance that
their generosity had led ,1em to in
cur bill beyond their joint purse,
announced his intention of settling
the score.
"Impossiblep' cried the elder stu
dent, as if insulted at the sugges-
ton. But after considerable dis
cussion he became less determined.
"Ah, well, mymaster," he said gen
erously, ''as you insist | will relax
so far as to play a game Of skill with
you for it! l am thinking of a
number. Is it odd or even?"
''Even," replied his guest.
"Odd," said the student immedi-
ately. $50 you have the pleasure
of paying for the dinner, while

"Wait," said the Dutch artist,
puzzled. |SLet us play for that too" J"

ed the student, struggling his shoul-
ders. '1 am thinking of a number
Is it odd or even?"
"Odd" cried the master.

"But," inquired the loser afte,
paying the heavy reckoning, "I an
curious to hear the principle of your
game"
'It is very simple" the studen,
answered. GAS you see, I think Of
number, odd or even, and you have
to guess it."
"Ah," munnured the master
thoughtfully, 81 see! Yes, it is sim

which cannot but make its impression
on the prospective buyer. Even when
there is no question of sale an air of
thrift is a good investment, for it
adds to the consideration in which the
owner is held in the community.
Farm fences should be kept in good
condition for reasons of economy, if
nothing else. The most picturesque
fences for farm or garden are of rough
posts. They may be made attractive
enough to serve for the house and gar
den, as may be seen by examining the
illustrations, which suggest a new
style for gate and fence.
This rustic gateway, which was
built at a small cost, may be worth
initiating, modified, of course, to tit
the surroundings. This one is between
two cedar trees, and from it a wind
ing path leads to the house. The cuts
give an idea as to how the gate is
made. The two uprights and the
crosspiece on the top are of locust.
All the rest is of cedar. Parts of the
smaller branches have been left on the
pieces that go to fill up the gate. A
gateway like this would not prove eff
fective against pigs or chickens, but
would turn larger animals. 1t is not
only cheap and durable, but decidedly
attractive because so perfectly In har
mony with its surroundings.
Soaking the lower ends of posts in
crude petroleum and then burning 1t
off, thus driving the hot oil into the
wood while charring the outside, has
given the best results in preserving
pitch pine posts. Posts which were
treated sixteen years ago before set
ting and were recently taken up We're
in good condition. Those treated as
above were all in practically sound
condition and good to last fifteen to
twenty years longer. If properly done
this treatment seemingly would make
good posts last indefinitely.
Various methods of treatment were
tried. Posts merely soaked in crude

A notable discovery and one that ap-
peals especially to many people in Cor

preparation works wonders in cases of

ing the use of Mi-o-Da that the remedy is
sold by Graham & Wells under an abeo-

it fails to cure. A 50-cent box of Mi-o-na
will do the good the stomach needs,
which is simply TO make it do its OWN
work. -

Grange Scholarships at Cornell.

The New York state grange has re-
newed it's offer of scholarships to mem-
bers of the grange at the above named
institution, examinations for which are
to be held the third Saturday in June
in each county. The value of the six
scholarships for the winter short course
is $500, or $50 for each, and they are to
be awarded to the six contestants who
attain the highest standing in the ex-
animation. The examinations are open
to both men and women who are mem-
bers of the Order, but the student must
be seventeen years of age on entering
college. The examinations are based
on general knowledge, arithmetic, his
tory, civics, English, spelling and ag-
riculture. Those who desire to take
these examinations should notify their
Pomona master or the county deputy
at least three weeks before the ex-
aminau0ns.

SOME GRANGE HISTORY.
Men Who Founded the Order just
After the Civil War.


After the Civil War.
About forty-two years ago in the city
of Washington few men put their
heads together to see if something
could be done for the farmers of the
southern states, where agriculture then
lay prostrate because of the civil war.
l believe that the coming together of
these men and what resulted from
their coming together was momentOus
In its results in the interests of the
farmers of America and even the
world l believe that their names will
live when the names Of many now of
fame will be forgotten. Let me name
them here. They were O. 81. Kelley.
John Trimble, F. NJ. Mcdowell, j. r.
Thompson, A. B. Grosh. William
Saunders and w. M. Ireland.
What was it that these men did that,
as 1t seems to me, was Of such conse-
quence and Importance? They organ
lied and put into actual working con-
dition the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry, commonly known as the
grange So far as I know it was the
their own interest in the history of the
world The fact last stated, if it be
fact, is in itself of profound signifi-
canoe. Through the ages men and
women, too, have toiled upon the land.
But through the ages it was not until
the last half of the nineteenth century
that conditions were so that these toll
ers could get together and consider
why and how and for whom they toll
ed and wherein their toll could be, a
better, a brighter, nobler thing for
them, and not for them only, but for
ALL The time has not yet come when
this has been appreciated but it will
come.
Once fairly started, the order spread
with astonishing rapidity until it over
ran the country. Is it surprising that
in the flush of this unexpected success
these farmers woulG go too fast and
too far and that reaction would come?
Certainly not. 1t could hardly be 9th
erwise. The reaction came. and with it
for time discoura cement and obloquy.
But let it be noted that before this
decline in numbers and influence the
Order had done something to such ben
eft not only to farmers. but to the
| country at large, chat if it had done
nothing else it's existence would have
| been more than justified.
But. though decline and depression
| came to the grange, death came not.
! It's sickness was not mortal In fact,
| the sickness only proved the vitality
and strong constitution of the patient.
| This, too, is significant. If the time
| had not at last come when farmers
were able to work together the grange
would have gone down to rise no more.
| Since then the steady, healthful growth
| of the Order and its work and achieve
| ment in the interest of the farmers is a
| thrice told tale. Its membership is
great and constantly ncreasing.-Mich-
| igan Grange Bulletin.

Stanford University, CAL, May
13, 190S.-Mr. Edward Rosen-
berg, Astoria, Oregon: In re-
sponse to a request from Mr..
Hylen / am giving you my
opinion as to certain matters
connected with the salmon fish
ing in the Columbia. AS you
know, l was the first commits
sioner ever sent out to investi-
tigate the salmon. Ispent some
time in Astoria in 1880 and [
have made a number of visits
there or farther north in the
same interest since then. / have
not changed my opinion in this
time as to these matters.
(1) The fish wheel and the
stationary trap in the Columbia
river should be abolished. 1t
would be well for the fishing in
terests of the country if the sta
tionary trap in all of its various
forms was everywhere elimina-
ted, for this is the most destruc-
tive and undiscriminating kind
of fishing. On the Columbia,
where the river is narrow and
swift, the fish wheel is not only
very destructive, but has the
additional evil effect of (a) taking
work from the fishermen, and
(b) of taking the fish when they
are not in the best condition, for
fish for canning ought to be ta-
ken in tidewater.
~ 1t would be well if all
fishing on a large scale above
tidewater in the Columbia should
be prohibited.
(3) / would also recommend
that careful study of gill-net
and similar methods of fishing
be made, with a view to the ulti-
mate interest of the fishing in:
dustry, as even if worse forms OF
fishing were eliminated, there
are still perhaps too many gill
nets for the size of the river.
To prohibit gill-net fishing
after dark would virtually des-

Oregon Grange Speaks.

The Oregon State Grange
passed the following resolutions
at its meeting this month:
Whereas, there has been re-
ferred to the committee on reso-
lutions for consideration the two
fish bills relating to the fishing
industry to be voted on at the
June election, bills No. 319 and
332 respectively:
Your committee has carefully
examined into these two bills as
far as their time would permit,
and have to report that we favor
protection to all natural spawn
ing grounds; and to that end we
condemn as great detriment to
said industry and to our state
the operation of FISH WHEELS in
the narrows of said river, and
demand and urge the passage of
a law removing the same, and
also further recommend that
said law shall be so constructed
as to remove all traps from said
stream.

SALMON AGAIN SCARCE
Measure Proposed would Save
Industry--What the Press says.

Ten days of salmon fishing in
the Columbia river show the
salmon supply still on the wane.
This is the season of the finest
salmon of the river-the best in
the world. Soon these fish will
be an extinct breed. They are
the fish that made the Columbia
river famous. The few remain
ing specimens should be pro-
tected with closed season. The
open season should be put off
from April Is to May Is. After
that there should be the closed
Sunday and rigid regulation OF
all kinds Of gear-gillnets, traps,
seines and wheels. Master fish
warden Van Dusen quits his;
Office May 1, leaving the indus
try in bad plight. 1t is too
much to say that he is wholly tos
blame for this condition Of az
fairs. But the fish faction with
which he has been allied is as
much to- blame as any other, ,and
none is more grasping and none
has defeated as much remedial
legislation.-From the Oregon
ian, April 27, 1908.
The U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
has for a long time been endea-
voring to secure just such reme-'
dial legislation as is being OBJ
jected to by the lower river
interests. A short time ago.
Secretary Strauss, of the U. s..
Department of Commerce and
Labor, set forth a list of things
necessary to save the industry.

A Word of Commendation.

Editor Gazette:
I have been a resident of Ben
tom. county for good many
years, during which time about
all the business have had at the
Court House has been to pay
taxes, serve on juries and the
making out of pension vouchers.
During the time the present
county clerk has been in the Of
fee it has been a pleasure to go
there on business, as he is al
ways pleasant, painstaking and
gentlemanly, always ready day
or night to accommodate an old
soldier.
When the law allowing an in
crease OF pensions to the old SOL
diers took effect, over a year ago,
he sent to the Commissioner Of
Pensions and procured blanks
for the old vets to make their
applications on and helped ev-
cry old soldier that came along
to fill out his blank; in fact he
has done every thing he could
for the boys and it never cost
them a red cent.
When a man Of the moral
standard of the present clerk
does get into Office and strives to
do his duty, not alone for the
old soldier but to all that come
with business to his office, it
does appear to me that all those
who believe in justice and hon
esty should stand up firmly for
the right and give their support
to the man who has done so
much to aid and assist them.

The VolIey at the Grave.

Every one who has attended a
naval or military funeral will re-
member that the last thing is 4
volley which is fired over the grave
of the departed comrade; then the
bugle call ''taps" is sounded. This
is relic of the dark ages. 1t was
believed that noise kept away the
evil spirits, and for this reason
bell was sounded. When firearms
were invented volley firing was sub
stituted for the bell, the belief be-
ing that the sound of battle was
more eficacious for the soldier.
