flies held between the forefinger and
thumb. and would also ring a little
bell when they required food. They
would also leap over little bars of
wood placed about two inches above
the surface of the water.
1t was very simple matter to
teach the fish these tricks. At first
a little tower containing tiny, sweet
toned silver bell was fastened to the
iron work of the aquarium with a
piece of string attached to the tongue
of the bell extending into the water
where the trout were. On the loose
end of the string an insect or other
tempting morsel was placed. which
the fish would at once seize and,
pulling the cord, the bell in the tower
would naturally tinkle. :.
After this had been repeated sew
eral days, the fish were left without
food for some little time until they
found they could obtain it by pulling
the string to which the delicacies had
been attached.
This they never failed to do ever
afterward when they were hungry
! and as that was nearly all the time
the little bell was constantly tinkling
as the fish were continually pulling
the cord and it was quite a pretty and
novel sight. :. :.

WHAT WILL OREGON DO?

From all over the country comes
continued reports of progressive VIC
tories. In Wisconsin Senator La
Toilette. original insurgent, has been
renominated for senator by four to
one vote. He has lead of 100000
over his opponent Thus has the
"old guard" of Wisconsin downed
Little Bob and the principles for
which he stands.
In Michigan Senator Burrows, one
OF the most tried and trusty senators
of the Aldrich-Cannon machine. has
been turned down by the people. II
the Michigan legislature obeys the
will of the people as expressed in the
primary election Burrows seat will be
filled by progressive.
Even to conservative old New Eng
land has the progressive spirit ex-
tended. New Hampshire republicans
have named a progressive candidate
for governor.
In view of what is going on else
where in the union what may we ex-
pect of Oregon. This is naturally a
progressive state. oregon was one of
the very first states to break away
from the old system of machine rule
which always means rule in behalf
of special interests. Now that Ore
gon has come out of the damp and
sinking hole of political corruption
is it to go back? The answer will be
given on the cath day of this month
and it is the prediction of the East
Oregonian that when the returns are
in from the primary election the
news will be sad reading for the re-
dictionaries of this state who are just
now more specifically designated by
the term assemblyites.

HOPE FOR THE EXTENSION.

According to the declaration of Col.
Langfitt, made at the banquet at
Hermiston last evening. the chief
question in connection with the pro-
ject is one that must be answered by
the people of this section. The ques-
ton has to do with the price per acre
settlers will be able to pay for the
land under the extension. 1t is a
question that must be considered in
determining the practicability of the
extension.
In extemporaneous talks last eve
ming many local men told the engi-
neers, in effect, that they need have
no fear upon this score. The land
will be worth reclaiming even should
the cost of reclamation run as high
as $3.50 per acre, which it is safe to
say it will not do.
Such are the natural conditions up
on the extension that a rather high
cost of reclamation may be borne.
The land is admirably located as to
markets and it has excellent trans
portation facilities. The altitude and
climate are such that early fruits and
vegetables may be raised and the
growing season is long. The soil is
good and the contour Of the land Is
such as to make the cost Of levelling
mparatively low.
Then under the terms of the recla-
ton act the settlers are allowed ten
years in which to make their payments
t. the government and they do not
pay interest. Under this arrangement
they have time to get their land to
producing long before they are re-
quired to have it paid for. BY the
time the final payment is due the land
should be worth ten times as much
as the governmental charge for re-
ciamation.
II the situation with reference to
the extension is as Col. Langfitt indi-
Gated then surely the hope for the
extension is bright indeed. We may
reasonably hope to see the Umatilla
project extended so as to include the
10000 acres lying west OF the river.

SCIENCE NOTES.

Windsor, Ontario, has decided to
purchase electric power from Nj
agara. The 11ONO0-volt line to Lon
don, Ontario, will be extended the
los miles separating Windsor from
London. Windsor will sell much of
the power it receives to Detroit across
the river. Thus the electricity used
in Detroit will have been conducted
over a distance Of 220 miles.
Four and one-half miles of the
channel at the Pacific entrance to the
Panama canal have been completed
throughout this distance the dredg-
ing has been carried down to depth
of As feet.
Chile has contracted with London
firm for a war vessel of $4,000 tons
to be armed with the heaviest gun in
existence. The cost will be, accord
ing to dispatches, s15.000,O00.

ANIMALS THAT WEEP.

While the act of laughing may be
of weeping which if we are to ac-
cept the testimony of French natu-
ralist, is manifestation of emotion
that is met in divers animals.
1t is said that the creatures that
| weep most easily are the ruminants,
with whom the act is so we'll known
| that it has given rise to the trivial
but accurate expression, "to weep like
calf" All hunters know that the
stag weeps, and We are also told that
the bear sheds tears when it comes to
a consciousness of its last hour. The
giraffe is not less sensitive, and re-
CARDS with fearful eyes the hunter
who has wounded it. This animal al
so weeps through downright nostal
gia. Dogs also are held to be lachry-
nose, and the same holds in the case
of certain monkeys. Sparrman states
the elephant sheds tears when wound
ed or when it perceives that it can not
escape.
Aquatic animals, too, 1t appears, are
able to weep. Thus, many authori-
ties agree. dolphins at the moment of
death draw deep sighs and shed tears
abundantly A young female seal was
observed to weep when teased by
sailor. ST. Hilaire and Cuvier re-
count on the authority of the Malays,
that when a young dungong is cap
tured the mother is sure to be taken
also. The little ones then cry out
and shed tears. These tears are col
lected with great care by the Malays
and are preserved as a charm that is
certain to render a lovers affection
lasting

A WELCOME OFFER.

That is a generous offer that has
been made the Commercial club by
the manager of the Pacific light and
power company. II the commercial
body will construct an illuminated
sign bearing a slogan exploiting the
city the light company will furnish
electricity for the sign free Of cost.
This action on the part of the cleo
tric company is most welcome and
the offer should be accepted with
pleasure. The offer of the company
indicates that the present owners are
anxious to do their part towards
bringing about the further growth
and advancement of this city. In the
past the electric company has done
but little along this line and the
change in policy should be appreci-
ated.
Let us have the big booster sign.

need it,

SELFISH SCHEMES.

The Madras Pioneer, Of Crook
county, regards the various county
division schemes now before the peo-
pie in this wise:
Rob these county division schemes
Of the ambition of some little town
which wants to be a county seat, and
the desire Of a few men to increase
the valSe Of their property, or to
brighten up their political chances,
and what is there left? These mo-
tives are the source of all this county
division turmoil which is disturbing
the state from border to border at
this time Not in a single instance
does investigation Of these move
ments prove this statement to be un-
true.
County organization is a part OF
our government that most directly
affects the welfare of the people. and
this paper believes that such import
ant interests as this ought to be put
where every petty schemer In the
state can't monkey with them. The
time to put these county division
schemes out OF the way for all time
Is now, and the way to do this is to
vote against each and every one Of
them"
Certainly there would be no agita'
ton for the creation Of Orchard

bitions OF a few business men living

Why Christmas Shopping
Should B|gin EARLY

First.-Because you can get
better bargains when the stock
is fresh and full.
Second Because you thus
have time to make proper Sc.
lections instead of buying %jrrs.
anything" to make out your
gift list.
Ihird.-Because you can time
the gifts YOU send away by ex.
press or by mail so that they
viii reach the recipients just be
fore Christmas and not a day
or so late.
Fourth. Because by spread.
ing your shopping over several
weeks instead of doing all of it
in a few hours and in a great
rush you will be able to get
what YOU want when you want
It..
Fifth.-Because you will be
doing your part toward making
things easier for the shopgirIs
and the other clerks, who are
rushed almost to death when
everybody buys everything the
last few days before Christmas.
