East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-28

County treasurers in Baker, Clack-
amas. Clatsop. Columbia. Douglass,
Harvey, GILLIAN, Lake, Lincoln, Nor
row, Polk. Tillamook. Umatilla, Was
hington and Wallowa counties will
not draw any salary after May 22. of
this year unless the Legislature meets
and remedies another one OF its blum
ders. Such will be the case II the law
is strictly interpreted, for one of the
bills passed by IN last legislature
specifically repeals the law providing
for the payment of salaries to these
officers.
It will also be necessary for the ses-
sion of the legislature to make 1t pos
sible for the sheriff of several. counties
to legally draw pay for their services
after January 1. 1911. Umatilla
county is among this number. AS the
legislature meets in January 1911,
this blunder Is not so important.
The legislature by a single enact
ment fixed the salaries of sheriffs OF
the various counties of the state, the
act being section 1894 of the present
code. Since that time, by special en-
actment, the salaries of the sheriffs
in IS counties have been changed,
leaving Clackamas, Coos, Curry, Dou-
glass, Gillian, Harvey, Jackson, Lake,
Lane. Linn, Marion, Morrow, Tilla-
nook, Union. wallowa. Wasco. and
Yamhill counties unchanged. The last
Legislature by an enactment, known as
chapter 1913, of the general laws Of
Oregon for 1909, copies of which are
now in the hands OF local attorneys
amended section 1884 of Bellinger
and Cottons annotated codes and stat
utes of Oregon.
Special Session Necessary.
While the section relating to the
salary of the sberiffs in different
counties does not go into effect until
January 1, 1911, the chapter that
makes 1t unpleasant for the treasur-
ers goes into effect May 22, and they
can hereafter get no salary by au-
thority of law in the counties named.
A special session OF the legislature
seems TO be the only remedy. The
section OF Bellinger & Cotton's Code
which relates to the salaries of these
officials is 1880, In the general laws
OF Oregon the amendment will be
found in chapter 2l4.

CANVAS HAMMOCK.

An entirely comfortable hammock,
one that will outwear two OF the ordi-
nary kind. Is made of canvas stretched
over a framework of wood and sus-
pended from porch ceiling or tree limbs
by ropes.
The wooden frame should be six feet
long and three feet wide. Any car
penter could make one in an hour or
so at very little expense. The four
sides of the frame should be securely
dovetailed together at the corners.
The canvas should not be drawn taut
over the frame. but a little slack
should be allowed Fasten TO the frame
with strong wire nails set close to-
gether.
screw eyes are then put ON at the
four corners Of the frame and a strong
rope run through them and turned
back. wrapped with heavy twino and
well glued. This is a neat and strong
manner in which to secure the ends of
tho rope.
Small pulleys should be put I'm the
porch ceiling and the ropes run through
them SO that the hammock may be
raised and lowered at viii. At night
and I'm stormy weather the hammock
can then be raised 20 the ceiling out
Of the rain and out Of the way. An
awning cleat screwed into a porch pill

ropes tight
Such hammock IS wonderfully
comfortable. for Il gives with every
movement Of the body. and it is safer
than an ordinary hammock. because
the frame prevents it from tipping
over.

modes which hoighten tho charms OF

dumpy women like TO follow tho FASH

tesque IN costumes not at all suited
to their individuality. They realize
this ard resent the prominence given
to their tan rivals. But. although tail
women are the most important ones IN
tho world of fashion. it is provorbial
that short women reign supreme ip
tho affection of mon. man win
openly speak of his preference for tho
little woman. There is something
altogether aluring and fascinating
about her that appeals 10 his nature.
She ia usually light and airy. and she
stimulates the protective qualities OF
man The latter IS old fashioned con-
corning women. He understands the

consciously reveres the dainty little
personality whom he can take IN his
arms and realize that she really be-
longs to him.
The innate sense Of power rs in

little woman Invariably brings forth
his most chivalrous instincts. The
character, too. of a little woman is
usually bewitching. She is fun OF life
and energy. and her bright happy ma

attempt 10 cultivate the languid pose
which IS so often distinctive of the tall
woman. She Is content to be abso-

loves chatter, although she is gem

with tiny screws that can be fastened
quito firmly TO the lobes OF the ears.
and they are even more in demand
than the old fashioned kind.
Artificial pearl buttons are used TO
tho almost complete exclusion Of the

Iced Tea and
How to Make 1t

However the doctors may revile
iced tea, it is bound to stay as long
as our thermometers are so unruly In
summer 1t is surprising. however,
considering the amount of iced tea
Americans consume. how rarely it is
good.
The most scientific and supposedly
healthful way to prepare 1t is. TO pour
freshly brewed hot tea over a large
lump Of ice, then pour into glasses
half filled with shaved ice Unfortu-
nately the ice trust forbids most
housekeepers TO Be lavish. so the re-
suits are decidedly lukewarm.
More economical is 1t to make
small quantity OF rather strong tea

let It cool IN the refrigerator and

feed water just before needed.
