.HISTl TWAS ONLY MR..
PULITZER AT LUNCHEON

Travellers In Mill Valley last Sunday
saw a strange new peak athwart the
zenith above the right shoulder OF
Mount Tamalpais, with it's base on
West Point inn. The apparition arose
with splendid solemnity and grandeur
of the ridge. Later q smaller peak
appeared as mysteriously held it's
ascendency for short time and in turn
dropped and sunk.
Parties of curious geologists and
mountaineers Immediately undertook
expeditions to discover what was re-
sponsible for the phenomenon. They
learned that Albert Pulitzer, the hero
of the culinary conquest of the Fair
mont hotel, had been having his simple
afternoon luncheons and the sudden
peaks and pinnacles which had reared
their majestic heights ovep the shoul-
der of Tamalpais, topping the peak
itself, were merely the piles of food
which had been spread for the .delecta-
tion of the New York millionaire jour
nalist, author and good liver
Albert Pulitzer Is a guest at the
tavern on the top OF Tamalpais and as
a consequence the price of chickens
and water cress has risen to magnifi-
cent proportions. So acute is the de-
mand for broilers and garnishments in
Mill Valley on account of the presence
there of the inventor of the New York
Journal that the farmers for miles
around are bringing their fiocks to
that favored market and in the dawn

Austria's ambition in this quarter
was never deemed possible. and the
first intimation was the annexation OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina. When the
archduke visited Herzegovina in 1906
he was greeted at Trebinje with ex-
travagant demonstrations. He was told
by it's people of their hatred for Turk
ish rule, and that fear alone prevented
them from forsakIng the bloody re-

The archduke returned to Vienna

oppressive rule of the Turk, which he
has done in high handed manner

plete ascendency over his uncle, the
emperor-king, and at his door is laid
the charge of having prompted the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
which were torn from the grasp of the
Turk with no other excuse except

This bold and entirely unlocked for
action on the part of Austria filled the
world with wonder. 1t was so entirely
at variance with the policy OF Emperor
Franz Josef, whose precept is peace

traitor OF this astonishing rape was

nance of Emperor William and had
the temerity TO brave HIS displeasure.
For it must be conceded that this could
not have been pleasing to Emperor
William.
This seizure of Turkish provinces
bears a startling likeness to the theft
of Silesia perpetrated by the great
Frederick when Austria was ruled by
Maria Theresa.
AT the time of Austria's annexation
of Turkish territory fears were ex-
pressed that the dual power had whet-
ted her appetite for future conquest.
and some went so far as to assert
that there lurked in the mind Of the
ambitious archduke ideas of extending
Austrian power over all the Balkan
provinces and substituting the religion
of the cross for the faith Of the cres-

and will manure them.
Do not forget that taking your crop
off on four legs is one of the best
ways to make clear money off Of
your farm, besides improving its fer
tility by keeping all manure on your
land. This method of farming, if
carried out properly, makes your
land of greater value year by year,
and you will have larger returns
from your work. In other words,
feed your crops to those animals
which you like best, be they cattle,
sheep or hogs.
Do not forget that to raise crops,
and feed them successfully, requires
brains as well as muscle
Do not forget that farmers are re-
alizing that there is much more in
being up-to-date farmers than most
of us used to think.
Keep in touch with your agricul-

for their bulletins and recollect that
the professors are experts in their
different lines, and that they will al
ways be glad TO assist and advise if
you will only show yonr interest in

which, as we view IT, involves the sehi-
GUS misconduct of a member of the
bar of Umatilla county. We have not
seen fit to return an indictment be-
cause we think the matter can be
more effectively handled by the bar
association of Umatilla county and

commend that the matter be at once
taken up by such association to be
dealt with as the facts may warrant,
and we have requested the district at

attention of he proper Officers Of
such association.
We thank the court and the Off
GERS thereof for courteous treatment
extended during the time we have
