THE VERMONT HUNTING SEASON

What licensed hunters can do when the protection is taken from deer has been demonstrated by a weeks sport in Vermont. with record of 1000 a day. The estimates of the number killed vary from 5000 to 1000 for the week.
 The Rutland News referring to the open season and the result says:
 However, the 'back-hills farmers and those who wish to kill regardless of any notions of sportsmanship, ought to be well satisfied with the terrific slaughter. It goes without saying that the deer-hunting law will be radically amended by the next Vermont legisla- ture"
 The conduct of the gunners has left no question that they need to be re- stricted in many ways If the state Is to profit by an annual open season for big game shooting.

Good Advice for MiII Men.

The experience of recent years has pretty effectually demonstrated to the textile manufacturers of this country the danger of getting into rut. The past fifteen years have been a very try ing time for many of the cotton mills of this country. especially those which had been accustomed to doing only cer- tain things and in only certain ways which might have sufficed for a gener- ation ago, but which are utterly in- adequate and inefficient for the present period of industrial activity.
 Several concerns received a pretty severe shaking-up, but their troubles, from one viewpoint, at any rate, were blessing in disguise, for they were the means of revolutionizing antiquat- ed methods of doing business and of date and enterprising management in place of that which was lackadaisical, unprogressive and sleepy. Many a concern which was going to seed' needed the quickening influence thus imparted. It was found necessary to reorganlze many concerns, but the lat ter, profiting by past experience, and at last aroused to realizing sense of what it was necessary to do to keep up with the procession, have more than made good, returning to their shareholders liberal payments in the form of dividends and extras"
 But they never should have allowed themselves to work into such a rut in the beginning. The longer a concern remains in a rut the more difficult it Is to get out of it; and the escape is never effected in a number of cases except by the means of some serious and unwelcome upheaval.
 Keep out of the rut therefore. is pretty good advice. It would have beer better for some of the manufae- turers of wool goods, as well as cotton goods, if they had acted on it some time ago. instead of ignoring the trend of the times and continuing to pro- duce lines of fabrics which have not been given popular preference for years.-Fiber and Fabric.

THE PROBLEM OF GLORIANA

that front seat and work the arithme- tic lesson on the board
 Glorianna took the seat. When the half hour was up the monitors col lected the children's papers and re- ported that the new pupil had none.
 "Glorianna,' said the teacher. se- verely where is your arithmetic pa- per?"
 "Ah ain't got none, teachah,'' ex- plained the child. "Ah nevah does no numbahs An don't like numbahs- nevah did. So when the oddahs does theih numbahs An composes po'try. Ah'll recite you the po'try An com posed when the children wuz doln' theih numbahs. Hits bout you s eyes" beguilingly to the teacher.
 "No, thank you, Glorianna. Here the rest do if you intend to stay in this room. All children must be in- dustrious here. What would you do if you grew to be big girl and couldn't do any numbers? Wouldn't you be ashamed?"
 Nom. Ah ain't nevah gon to be a big girl. Ah'm goin' to be refined an delicate when An grows up, yes, ma'am. An nah muthah says ez long ez Ah'm aristocratic an artistic an hez 'complishments An don't need no 'rithmetic an sech things. An kin sing, too. Ah've sung at the nickel theatah lots uv times. Once An got 50 cents. Now I'll sing fo' you all.'
 Fortunately the dismissal bell rang before Glorianna had time to mention any more accomplishments, for the other pupils were spellbound by her eloquence.
 However, in the following week the budding poetess was compelled to do her "nIlrnhersp three times much tO her disgust. She coaxed, pleaded, scolded, fiattered, sulked to no avail. The teacher was callous to her wiles. Still that capable young person found she could not curb Glorianna's flow of speech. Glorianna talked almost un- ceasingly. Her leadership stirred the gentle little ones to disobedience more than once They all decided that numbers" were unnecessary and their once idolized teacher was nearly dis tracted by their disobedience.

SPLENDID PROMISE
OF GROWING CROPS
ACREAGE DOUBLED AND CoNDl
TioNS NEVER BETTER IN
wALLoWA COUNTY.

There was never a better crop out
look in Wallowa county. That state
ment is based on first hand talks
during the last 10 days with over
a score of farmers from all parts Of
the county-Prairie Creek, Imnaha,
The Buttes, Chico, Trout Creek, Leap
Flora, Promise, Day Ridge and all up
and down the valley.
Sellers of seed grain say there has
been over three times as much sold
as ever before and it is conserva-
tive estimate to say the acreage in
grain is twice that ever planted in
any former year. There is a fine
stand of both fall and spring sown
grain, color, condition and growth ex-
cellent. There will be immense hay
crops, alfalfa which was little back
ward making up its delay and more
too during the week of splendid
warm, growing weather following the
week OF rain. Everything is getting
another good soaking this week.
Bumper crops and high prices
means even better times in this

HIGHEST CHARGES
ON O. R. & N LINES
NO OTHER 5EcTloN I3 TAXED so
HEAVILY FOR FREIGHT
SHIPMENTS.

Under the rigid questioning OF
State Railroad Commissioner C. b.
Aitchison. First Assistant Freight
Agent w. Il. Conan admitted the
o. r. & N. company was charging
the people OF Wallowa county much
higher freight rate than Is charged
anywhere else On its system. This
Is the only branch on which the
continuous dis .ance tariff on through
shipments. such as to and from Port
land, is not applied. The only excuse
offered was that the extension cost
a lot of money, but oiher branches
cost a lot OF money and these ex-
orbitant charges were never applied
to them.
The foregoing In brief WAS the re-
suit of the rate hearing held by the
state railroad commission In Eater
prise Monday. The hearing was he'd
in the parlor OF Fratenal Hall, by
Commissioners Aitchison and Oswald
West. The complainant, the Enter
prise Commercial club, was ropre
sented by Attorney ID. w. Sheahan.
while Attorney A. c. Spencer and Mr..
Conan appeared for the railroad.
The witnesses for the complainant
were J. H. Dohbln, A. c, Miller X. T.
Stubblefield, w. IL. Baker OF Flora,
g. w. Hyatt, G. Il. Funk. Tho FOL-
lowing testified for the railroad cl.n.

Holmes of Wallowa, s. McKeazle,
n. w. Fitzpatrick and S. p. Grow
of Lostine. and w. B. Conan of the
o. r. & N.
The testimony as to the ex5es'
slvey high and discriminatory rates
was not contradicted. The company
offered no justification excert that
certain men OF Wallowa, Ilostine ald
Joseph, picked by itself, had agreed
TO them. These were the witaes ies
1t summoned. Aside fron that. Spen-
csr, the company's lawyer put In most
of his time trying to get those wilt
nesses to laugh at alleged funny al
lusions and dirty filings at this city
and its witnesses.

plainly evident when the commission

POSTMASTER'S PAY
GIVEN $500 BOOST
BEST BUSINESS INDEX SHOWS
ENTERPRISE IN FRONT RANK
OF OREGON CITIES.

Postmaster Weathers has received
official notice that his salary has
been increased 5000 for the coming
year, from $1,000 to $14OO. No office
in Oregon received a larger increase
and only seven others as much, while
27, including Joseph, received an in,
crease of 800.
The postmaster's salary is based
upon the gross receipts of the office
exclusive of money orders. Receipts
of between $24OO and $270O give the
postmaster salary of $1,000. Enter
prise has jumped from that class to
the $1400 one, with receipts between
$4,000 and $500.
There is no better index of bust
ness than postal receipts, ard these
show that this city is advancing as
rapidly, in proportion to size, as any
city in the state. Last year the
salary was increased from $1100 to
$1,000. The receipts for the year
ending March 81, 1909, were $S1O3.
Enterprise and Joseph are the only
presidential offices in the county,
The boom towns of Eugene, Hood
River and Medford only received
500 increases. Offices that shared
with Enterprise 5000 raise are
