Slim Jim Sees Some Hills.

Ada, La, Oct. 20, 1909.
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
If you will allow me small por-
tion of your valuable space | will
give you few happenings in this
vicinity.
The health is fairly good. There
is some little sickness, but none
serious.
The school Mt Oak Grove is pro-
crossing nicely with Prof. r. B. Fer.
guson as principal and Miss Ethel
Baltic as assistant. Miss Ethel is
doing some fine work among the lit
tie ones. She was raised and educat.
ed right here, and has many friends
must tell you about my trip to
Catahoula last Wednesday evening,
We left home and went to Pollock
and there We Joined "a party of three,
We went by way of Thompson's ferry
on Little River, and from there to
White Sulphur Springs, next to Eden
then to Good Pine, and from there
to Jena, which is very pretty little
town beside a clear running stream.
From there to Pritchard, and from
there to Manifest, which is Dear
Brusley. Right in the midst of that
little town is the finest spring oi
water We ever saw. From there We
went to Harrisonburg and crossed
the Ouachita river. Turning north
we came to the Sicily Island country,
where there is some very fine farming
land. We journeyed on until We
came to Pine Hill NJ. E. church, and
there we struck camp. Then We went
out among the big hills seeking for
tune, but when We found it it hap
pened to be a misfortune, and We
were glad to get home alive. In that
country we found some of the high
est hills we ever saw, some of then
near 200 feet high.
If we see this 10 print we will come
again.
Success to the dear old Chronicle
and its many readers. SLIM JIM.

The Family Reading Problem.

To find reading that satisfies ones
craving for the bright and attract
i've. and Is at the same time perfectly
suitable for impressionable young
people. Is at times difficult. The
best magazines are admittedly pub
lished for mature readers only. The
Youths Companion alone is for all
the family. While the editors keep
in mind the eager desire of the young
for tales OF action, enterprise and
adventure. these stories In The Com
panion are SO well written as to faci-
nate men and women In all stages
OF life's journey. And this il true not
only OF the fiction In The Companion
but of the entire contents. The ar
ticles, by famous writer's. convey
knowledge that il useful to the wis
est and most experienced as well as
to the immature. In short, The Com
panion solves the reading problem
for the entire family. It's entertain
ing and 1t Is worth while"

burn, that is a sign of indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take a little just as soon as you can.

HELD RESPONSIBLE
IF OREGON GOES WET
(Florence West.l

Some of the newspapers of the
state have been giving Col. Hofer, of
the Salem Capital Journal credit for
producing the rain which fell in
abundance during the latter part of
October and early in November. 1t
is said that Hofer prayed for rain
Whether it is such a rare thing for
Hofer to indulge in prayer, or wheth
er his prayers are so eficacious it
not stated, but the fact has been fire.
quently mentioned, and it is certain
that rain came. Now it occasionally
hapepns that there is too much of
even a good thing, and some people
began to think that this was the
cas- ewith the rain. Just at this time
r. II. Glow, of Mapleton, bethought
himself that it was a good time to go
out duck hunting; when, To- and be-
hold the clouds vanished and not a
drop of rain fell for several days,
Mr.. Glow states that it always turns
out that way when he goes hunting.
Now if these men can just be induced
to work together, this county would
certainly have a cinch on the rain
fall. If Hofer will produce the rain
when necessary, it is quite probable
that Mr.. Glow can be persuaded to
take a hunting trip occasionally, il
he thinks the ground is becoming too
moist, and in this way maintain a
happy medium to suit all parties.

As the list from all but one of the departments had to be se- cured this morning, there are probably some inaccuracies due to the neces- sary haste in copying them, but these mistakes, if any, will be corrected when our attention is called to them.
