...EFFORT.
[orIginal.l

lOI1Slla4.l
Edgar Bertram, a young American
travelling abroad, was making a ne
destrian tour of the Alps. One evening
while stopping at an inn on the road
leading over the Fraele pass a man
and girl of eighteen, CARRYING a
variety of bundles, came and sat down
at a table near him. The girl was
very pretty, and Bertram kept glancing
at her repeatedly. After supper the
man who was with her smoked his
pipe on the porch of the inn. and
Bertram fell to talking with him. He
said that the girl was his daughter,
and they were going over the pass the
next day.
The height of the Fraele pass is over
1000 feet and the distance the two
proposed to go perhaps ten miles. Ber-
tram wondered why they should at
tempt it. The man was past fifty, and
the girl, though strong, was, after all.
but girl. ''There is no danger" said
the man. I'VE have done it before.
OF course we have some bad places
to cross, but we tie ourselves to a
rope like other climbers, and if one
slips the other stands fast"
The man went into the taproom
where he INDUCED in q bottle Of wine
and game of dominos with the land
lord. This left Bertram and the Cir
together. He chatted with her some
time and won her confidence. Tel
me-" he said, "why you attempt this
pass when there are easier ones? And
why do you not cross the mountains
by conveyance? You seem to be PEG
pie who are able to pay" Then the
girl confessed that they were SNUG
glers and by crossing the Fraele pass
on foot could get the goods they were
carrying into Italy without paying any
duty.
The next morning when Bertram ha6
finished his breakfast he stood on the
porch of the inn looking up the roa(
that led over the pass. Far up tht
mountain side he saw two figures,
man and a woman, trudging SLOWLY
onward. He always carried a pair Of
glasses with him, and, bringing them Il
bear on the figures, he saw that they
were the smugglers. He watched then
for an hour. They were tied together
the father leading. At last a clouC
enveloped them, and he saw them n,
more.
To the smugglers the cloud was
mist, through which they could Sc
nothing. They toiled on as best the
could, but despite the fathers effort
to keep on the road he lost his way
Then suddenly there was a quick slid
| and jerk on the rope. The girl caugh
a projection with her ice ak, and
held. Then she knew that her fathe
had slipped and was dangling over
| precipice.
There was no way by which he coul
gain foothold to save himself or less
en- the strain on the rope, which. as hi

WET GROUNDS PREVENT GAME.

Johnny Evers didn't have chance
yesterday to show what sort of an
artist he is at leading off the batting
list for the Cubs. He probably is all
right and little bit more. for he does
everything wonderfully well, but wet
grounds prevented him and the rest of
the Cubs from tackling the Phillies in
the final game of the series.
The Quakers got out of town last
night, having played one game out of
four scheduled winning that one. That
means at least two double headers
later in the season. The other game
can be played off July IA perhaps. as
that is an open date.

~ TO the establishment of the sub

shepherd of the outfit and was follow
ed by about 300 devotees of the game
when he signaled which train was to
be taken.
Up TO the time of the start, the pa
irons were ignorant of their destina-
ton. but only knew that Jeff OConnell
ana Kid Taylor were to clash some
where IN the suburbs. AS a result the
hrst special had to stop in the yards
and pick up extra cars.

daughter lost strength, would ineyi-
tably pull her over and the two would
together fail thousands of feet into the
abyss below.
"Cut the roper he called.
sNol'
"Cut it. One of us may i've. Both
cannot"
"Nor'
Repeatedly he called upon her to de-
that which would send him into the
abyss. She always answered Mo-
but gave no reason why she should not
do his bidding. They were alone far
up in the mountains; there was no one
near to help, and for the mist they
could not be seen if there were those
to see them.
An hour passed. An hour-sixty min
utes of sixty seconds each, and each
second frightful strain, There could
be no change of position either for the
father or the daughter. Any motion on
his part would increase the strain,
and the daughter must lie fat, both
| hands clinging to the ak handle. How
long would her strength endure? And
why should it endure? Was not each
moment an agony to be followed by the
| frightful end at last?
Thirty more of these dreadful min
utes passed, each an eternity of agony.
Then a zephyr carried away the mist,
/ and the girl clearly saw down the
| mountain man approaching. He was
/ glancing about him as If he were look
i Ing for some one. With all the little
strength she had left she cried again
and again till at last he raised his
head and looked straight at where
she lay. Then he bounded up the
mountain like a goat.
The girl did not know who relieved
her, at least not then. She felt the
strain on the rope disappear and knew
that her father was saved Then all
was a blank. Her father and the res
cuer carried her down the mountain
into Italy, stopping at the first inn they
reached.
In the evening, after she had come
to herself. she asked to see the man to
whom she was indebted for her and
her fathers life When he came in
and stood before her, she recognized
the yourg American with whom she
had spent the previous evening.
Bertram, after seeing the cloud en-
velop the father and daughter, could
not divest himself of misgivings con-
corning them. Then it seemed to him
that he heard the girl cry out, though
this was entirely a mental impress
sion, not a sound transmitted through
the ear. He starteA up the mountain
to reach them doubtless but a short
time before the girls strength must
have given out.
When tie next day he left the couple
: at the inn to pursue his journey there

1T WAS NOT JUDGE COAD
Ed Plaster Was Appointed Road
Supervisor of South Dallas Pre-
cinct by County Court.

No, the Polk County court did moi
appoint Judge Coad road supervisor
for South Dallas precinct. Neither
did the Judge appoint himself to that
important and highly lucrative Office,
even IL he did make it so appear on
the records Of the court. The appointee
is Ed Plaster, who has acceptably
served the district as supervisor for
the last year.
When the name Of Mr.. Plaster was
decided upon by the court, Judge
Coad, who was keeping the journal Of
the proceedings, started to write ed
Plaster" but through force Of habit in
signing his own name, week in and
week out, to court orders, citations,
probate records, commissioners jour
nails, and dozen and one other legal
documents, wrote ED Coad" instead.
1t was so copied from the record by
the faithful reporter, who prides him
self in being accurate 10 his news
reports, and hence found its way into
print
The Judges friends among the
farmers and business men have been
having considerable fun at his expense
by calling his attention to every mud
puddle and chuck hole In South Dallas
precinct, and demanding that the
same be given immediate attention.
The mistake was the most natural
one In the world, and no one enjoys
the joke more than the Judge, even il
II was on himself.

Hon Growers WIN Meet.

For the purpofe Of furthering the
work Of organization Of the Pacific
Hop Growers Union in Polk County
a meeting Of the county association
has been called at Dallas for Satur-
day, at / o'clock p m. The session
will be presided over by Hon. I. NJ.
Simpson, Of Monmouth, president of
the association, and director OF this
district for the Pacific Coast Union.
Many prominent hop growers and
buyers will be present from Polk and
adjoining counties, and the program
OF the afternoon will doubtless be of
interest not only to hop men, but also
t. those who are interested in building
up Oregon aud her Industries.

..Bonbonn Skating Party.

The leap year skating party at the
Colosseum rink Tuesday night proved
10 be a most enjoyable affair, and a
large crowd Of skaters and spectators
attended. The prize for the the best
married couple on the floor was
awarded to Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bill
yeu. Messrs. Kerslake & White are
announcing "bonbon skating part"
for next Tuesday evening. They refuse
to make known the exact nature Of the
entertainment on that occasion, but
judging from the success Of all Of their
previous parties, those who attend may
justly expect something new and inter-
esting.

The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit OF winter Is with us, max
ing its presence known in many diff
ferent ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms Of scrofula are developed and
aggravated. There is not much poetry
In this, but there is truth, and it is a
wonder that more people don't get rid
OF these ailments. The medicine that
cures them-Hood's Sarsaparlla-i
easily obtained and there is abundant
proof that its cures are radical and
permanent.

CUTTING UP THE BIC WHEAT FARMS

give away half Of their area to ac-
tual settlers In three or four years the
remainder would be worth double
what II is all worth today.
Take the 5000 acres between Lex
ington and the Columbia, and cut II
into 20 acre tracts, and the popula-
ton would be mounting up, and new
schools would be needed, in place of
closing one every few weeks.
What is true of Willow creek is
true to a greater extent with valleys
like that of the Umatllla river, the
real bottom lands. And hundreds of
other sections offer homes for fru-
gal people, II the owners would not
stand in their own light.
LookatWasco. See what has been
done around Hood River, around Mo-
sier, and the possibilities OBJ dozens Of
other valleys large and small.
Let US, then, start a crusade to get
the lands in the valley, along the
streams cut up into smaller tracts and
consider the wheat lands as some
thing we cannot get, and do not want,
for the incoming settlers. And in
place Of fiding fault with the wheat
farmers, let us try and get every acre
of these bottom lands into fruit and
alfalfa.
A crusade along those lines will
accomplish something, but a propa.
ganda to cut up our wheat lands will
come TO naught.
