A new year is here. 1t is time
for invoice. Business men take an
invoice of their stock. Wouldn't it
be business for you to take one of
yourself. Life, each life, is a business
Have you gained or lost last year?
Have you used the talents that have
been given you so as to gain other
talents. Is there any prospect of your
being placed over ten cities or five
cities or one city? Have you declared
any dividends in che way of loving
and helping others, and have you ad-
ded anything to the capital stock of
your character? These are pertinent
questions that press us all for an an
swer. Let the result of the self invoice
be spur to us in living the coming
year, or cause for great congratu-
lations as we review the past and go
forth to build more stately mansions
for the future. =

Though times aud seasons are not
as important as many would have us
think, still nearly every thoughtful
person at the coming year remembers
how old he is and wishes he were not
quite so old. Let us turn our minds
away from the tabernacle of flesh,
the least real things in our lives, and
think little of the inward growing
old. For the body every added growth
is almost incalculable gain. How old
are we? How much oil er than a year
two years, ten years ago? How much
quicker to recognize the divine voice?
How much stronger our hand and
clearer our voice against evil? HOW
much swifter our feet to bear the
message of good will to men? How.
much gain has there been in power
and willingness to serve? How much
more faithful are we in the chaos of
small and common duties and cares?
How much truer are we in friendship
warmer IN the home loves, more pa
tent with the mistaken and the bad.
The peSSimist delights in deriSion
of the good resolutions which mark
the celebration of New Year in the
minds of many people. Shame upon
the man or woman who would dull
the bright ambitions and desires of
the better of any human beingl But
there is little time to give to habitual
mourners and augurs of evil. The
new year will be what we make it, SO
Tar as our individual lives are concer
ned, and the man or woman who re-
solves to be happy in heaIthful, I'M
selfish way, is taking the first road
to happiness.
We are all after happiness, in one
way or another. Even the recluse, e.
ven the martyrs of old, were on the
endless search for happiness, though
The JOY of heaven rather than that of
earth was the goal hxed upon in the
eyes of those who sacrificed the pres
mt for the future. Eternal happiness
vas what they desired Unselfish
happiness is always waiting right a.
'Ound the corner if we will only take /
,ur eyes off the far distant and look
nearer home. The resolve to make
lext year happy one for those near
st us will br ng good deal of real
oy and satisfaction to the maker of
he resolution, if he holds out well. ]
The first of January is the initial
lay of the year, and as such is hon.
red by multitude of observances,
hiel among which are the New Year

How Prize Fights Pay.

New York, March 22.-The arrival
OF Hugh Mcintosh, who handled the
Jack Johnson-Tommy Burns fight in
Australia, has given some interesting
facts regarding the prize fighting bus
mess and has stirred up the gossip
about Jim Jeffries taking the field
once again. Mcintosh says he took
in $132.500 in the Burns-Johnson
fight, of which Burns, the beaten man,
got six times the amount that John
son got, or $4,000 for the former and
$4,000 for the latter. He also cleared
$4,000 for the moving pictures, with
out what was realized for them in
England. He is watching Jeffries
very closely, and doesn't feet certain
that the ex-champion can get in con-
diton.

is a month later and shows the wife
is false, she having been detected by
a hired man, who in the third scene
gives the warning to her hus-
band. He refuses to believe the story
but is finally prevailed upon to go
back to the house and the fourth
scene shows the wife and her lover
have been trapped. The fifth picture
shows the attempt to escape and
the death Of the husband, while the
sixth shows the formation of the
pursuit. Scenes seven, eight and nine
depict the pursuit. the many close
quarters into which the fleeing pair
find themselves, the thrilling escapes
and the final death Of the faithless
wife and the capture Of her lover.

WILL PENO[ET0N
HAVE A BAND I?
SOMEBODY MUST PAY
FOR 1T IF 1T DOES
Leaders Says Members Can't Be Ex-
pected to Practice and Buy Music
Merely for the Fun of It-Eugene
Pays the Leader of her Band; Also
Pays Members for Each Concert
Baker City Will Have a Band This
Summer.

If Pendleton is to have any brass
band concerts this summer, someone
will be compelled to pay for them
This was the announcement made this
morning by Ralph Folsom, leader of
the Pendleton band.
Mr.. Folsom declares that it is
simply impossible to persuade the
members of the band to spend their
evenings in practice and purchase
music at their own expense just for
the pleasure of entertaining the gen.
eral public. They feel that they
should be paid enough for their SER
vices to cover their actual expense, at
least.
According to the band leader, the
organization is well supplied with in
struments at the present time and
that it also contains some of the best
musicians which have ever been mem
bers of a local organization. Some of
the members are as good as are to be
found in the northwest and the only
obstacle in the way of plenty of good
band concerts for the summer eve
nings is the providing of some induce
ment for the boys to practice.
1t is pointed out that Eugene pays
the band leader salary of $125 per
month, purchases the music out of
the funds of the city. while the MEM
bers of the band are also paid for
each concert. Baker City has also
taken the subject in hand and will
arrange to have music furnished by
the White Swan band during the sum-
mer months.

Health and Wealth from Within.
(By William Z. Towne, Associate Ed
itOr of Nantilnsl

itor of Nautilus,)
This book is a practical, concise
plainly written elucidation of the
principles and practices of mental
healing which is at present attract
ing such wide attention. Mr.. Towne
is particularly we'll qualified to write
on this subject as he has been a close
student of this work for the past Is
years.
Health and Wealth from Within"
is not always dignified, nor even sci
entific. 1t is rather plain and home
ly in tone and was written" Mr..
Towne says, with the fixed inten-
ton of stating the principles of new
thought so clearly that anyone can
apply them and receive the great
benefits which I have received from
this new way of life"
Mr. Towne's style is facile and his
thought logical, and there is through
out the book certain dry humor
that is infectious. The chapter on
"The Woman and the Man." is es-
pecially good, dealing with marriage
as a means Of developing character
Price of the book is 81. Published by
Elizabeth Towne, Holyoke, Mass.

GOVERNMENT BUYS RIFLE
RANGE FOR NATIONAL GUARD

| Official information was made
known here last night, that the Unit
ed States government has acquired
title to 100 acres of land immediate
ly east of Clakamas station, on the
Southern Pacific line, IL miles south
of Portland, for use as rifle range
by the Oregon National Guard and
troops of the Regular Army station
ed at Vancouver barracks, says the
Telegram. Although formal approv-
al of the transaction by the War de-
partment is still lacking, it is known
that the authorities in Washington,
d. c., have for some time been urg-
ing the purchase of such range, and
1t is not thought there will be any
hitch in the deal, as the tract select
ed is considered by experts to possess
ideal features for the purpose intend
ed. 1t is understood the new range
will be utilized as the place for all fu-
ture state competition and possibly
OF the division competitions of the
regular establishment.
One OF Best Ranges In Z. S.
1t is understood that force of men
will begin work Immediately clearing
the land of timber and brush, and
that regulation ranges will be INSTALL
ed, including targets at 200, 800, 500,
600, 500. 1000 and 1900 yards.
1t is believed the latter range will
be the first on the coast, and one of
the first ranges of that distance in
the country. Heretofore 1000 yards
has been regarded as the maximum
for accurate firing. It is learned au-
that the new range will be
complete in all its appointments. A
rate Of so cents has already been con-
ceded by the Southern Pacific for
of guardsmen and reg
ulars in going from Portland to the
range, and n similar rate will be
made for the return trip.

tai and two resolved on conviction,

Of Patrick Henry, made his first ap-
cnearance in court to answer to the
d large of offering a bribe of $4,000

head trolley franchise for his corpo-
ration.
Not until each juror pronounced
as hopeless the prospect Of verdict
was the order for their dismissal
made by Judge Lawler, prosecution
and defense giving assent to the dis
charge.
The trial ended quietly. The de-
fendant and his attorneys, as well as
the chief officers of the prosecution,
refrained from comment on the dis
agreement.
The attorneys are expected to fix
date for trial on the same indict-
ment tomorrow.
