A FAMOUS STORY.

Every section has it's famous story.
A famous story that is being retold in
Oregon is about a very rich banker
who got his start by doing work for
the government. His bill was $4,000,
and it had to be submitted to congress,
Congress has a habit of cutting its
bills in two. To make allowance for
this he jumped his bill to $4,000. He
sent the bill to the governor for his
approval. The governor, having also
heard that congress generally appro'
priated only half as much as was ask
ed jumped it to $4,000. The bill was
then sent to one of the congressman.
Being friendly to the contractor, he
jumped it to $4,000 and sent it to an
other Oregon congressman for his ap-
proval. The End congressman jumped
it to $4,000. Congress allowed the
whole $4,000, although the contractor
was entitled to only $4,000. This is
told as a fact in Oregon. The man
who got the $4,000 got his start on
it and is now a millionarie.-Atchison

A BIG RAIN STORM.

A heavy rain and electric storm
visited this section of the valley early
on Tuesday morning. 1t began about
three o'clock and continued with hard
ly any abatement until about eight
o'clock, the rain falling in torrents. It
is estimated that from to 10 inches
Of water fell in that time, thus remov-
ing all complaint of lack of moisture
for growing and maturing Of crops.
For the first time in the history Of the
city, the sewers were unable to carry
off the water as fast as it came, hence
some of the streets were flooded for
a short time. AS soon as the rain
ceased, however, the streets dried
rapidly, and later in the day no incon-
venience was experienced on account
of the heavy down pour. The rain
was needed, though less would have
suficed, and farmers say no damage
has been done in the fields.
The 500 railway track between
Viking and Radium was washed out foE
nearly a mile and delayed the west
bound passenger about II hours.
The Snake river rose rapily after
the rain, but was easily confined with
in it's banks. g -
Crops look better than ever.

SILVER MEDAL CONTEST.

a very enjoyable affair, all of the con.

summing up the markings of the judg-

HORSES KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
w. r. LoesIie, Of Radium, Sustains
Heavy Loss of Five Fine Horses
Tuesday Night.

w F.. Loeslie. of Radium, had five
valuable horses killed by lightning on
Tuesday night during the heavy rain
and thunder storm which then visited
this part of the valley. The horses
killed were on one side Of the barn,
while on the opposite side were seven
other horses that were not touched at
all. No damage was done to the barn.
The loss to Mr.. Loeslie is severe
one, as none of the horses killed was
worth less than 5000 each, and good
horses are very scarce at the present
time.

IT o enjoy country life to the full girl
should have her own garden, but to
thoroughly enjoy and obtain the best
results from that garden she must have
knowledge of the science of landscape gar
dening. The mere digging and planting in
the soil is a delightful pastime once she
has become interested and eager to see the
tiny seeds grow up and develop into won
drous, tender or gorgeous colored flowers,
but this pleasure is as nothing compared
to the fascination in being able to make
carefully drawn plan of a garden or park
blossom into living thing of trees. shrubs
and flowers, and it is this pleasure which
comes many, many times each year to the
professional landscape gardener.
Few girls may care to devote the neces-
sary length of time to study to become ex-
pert landscape gardeners, but every girl
who spends her summers on a large or
small country place could not but be glad
to know the rudments of this science and
have sufficient grasp of the subject to be
able to plan and lay out a plot of land OF
her own. even though the larger gardens
on the estate may not be entrusted to her
care
Yet even to be able to plan out small
flower garden requires a certain amount
of knowledge 1t must be known, for
example. Just what flowers will grow in
what kind of soil or climate, or what
may be added to the soil to improve its
quality so that new kind of seed may

Latest in Handbags.

4 ANDBAGS steadily increase in size.
The newest shape has a two inch
wide oblong bottom of stiff leather,
to which are attached sides that mar
row gradually to within three inches of the
top, whence they again flare abruptly, the
narrowest portion, or neck, being defined
with a silver gilt chain set on to form
scallops and from one end of which is
suspended birthday or lucky charm.
The handsomest bags in this novel shape
are developed in dark green, brown or
Pompeiian red suede, lined with dressed
kid. They are equipped with hinged gilt
metal frames, from which swing mirror
fitted vanity cases, while the interiors are
fitted with coin purses swinging from gilt
chains and pockets for powder boxes and
manicure conveniences.
Another large size bag is of dark hued
English morocco mounted on gilt frame
and provided with two strap handles. and
a third bag has an extension bottom that
lets down or rolls up and strap handles to
hold it together at the mouth when being
carried. Also strap handled are the fat,
large and almost square pigskin bags,
with well rounded corners, and those of
patent leather or sealskin, on twelve inch
frames, that are provided with brass
trimmings and extra locks at each end.
Chain bags are larger than ever. In
the newest models the mesh is so woven
as to present check, stripe and other eff
fects at times nroduphd nv com Inning

"a :,oung girl should get several hours OF

she should wake up next morning feeling

uuires at least eight hours of sleep out OF
every twenty-four, but young people need
more than that allowance and when de-
nrived of it they soon begin to lose vitality.
