Why Thunder "Ro'Is."
fHarper's Weekly.1

During electric storms. when the
lightning is very near, the thunder is
heard only once. with sound like
the discharge of artillery. When che
storm is farther away the thunder Is
not a short sound. but series OF close
" connected explosions.
When lightning bursts between two
clouds. or between cloud and the
earth. the different points on the course
followed by the electric discharge are
al different distances from him who
hears them. 80 that the sounds. trav-
cling from different locations. reach
the listening ear one after another.

parentlv increasing as they come from
greater distances.

States. Stations for observing earth
quakes have been established from
Tacna to the South Sea islands, along
a meridian nearly 5000 miles long. and
$50 observers note the shocks at $50
different localities. In six months TAO
different earthquakes have been re-
corded, making Chile a rival of Japan
as the most shaken country. A novel

THE BOOSTER CLUB

to send to them any information
they think interesting or valu-
able, setting forth the resources
of our country. Information
about stock, the different grains
fruits, vegetables, or anything
you think might be used in max
the coming booster pamphlet"
more attractive.
Inasmuch as this is to be the
greatest year in Eastern Oregon,
the Booster Club is endeavoring
to have Gillian County take as
prominent a part as means and
labor will permit. To do this
work intelligently we need the
help of every one in the county.
We expect to prove to you that
consistent advertising will yield
profits and good times to every
one now living here, which you
have thought up to this time inn
possible for this community.
Bringing more people into
Gillian County means bringing
more money, in which everyone
shares directly or Indirectly. 1t
puts a higher value on your land.
If you have been here for many
years and have acquired your
land when it was very cheap,
and feel that if you could get a
buyer for your place you would
gladly spend your declining
years in some less stringent oc-
cupation, the man who wants to
buy your place is easily found.
If you do not want to sell and
you notice your neighbor has
sold at an advance and if your
place equally as good you simply
add this advance to your own
land and you have actually made
so much per acre. AS you feel
able you will then add better
buildings and improvements to
your land which also adds so
much more to its value. You
will gradually find yourself much
better off and much happier if
you will 'get the habit of
boosting the country in which
you are making your home. If
you really do think there are
places which might be more con-
genial for you to live in, remem-
ber that rs per cent of oil the
great wheat growing sections of
the U. S. are worse in many
respects to live in than Gillian
County, Oregon.
Boosting is a habit and after
you once acquire it, you begin
to take more interest in every
thing going on about you, and
looking at things from an opti-
mistic viewpoint. Look on the
bright side of things. The law
of mind over matter will make
you booster in spite of your
self. The work we wish to ac-
complish will put the extra val
ue on your place and it is there
whether you want to sell, hold
your land, or give it to your
children. We want to impress
upon everyone in this County
that we need your help in ac-
complishing the purposes we
have set out to do.
We want more people and
money, smaller farms and bet
ter Improvements, a Govern
ment Appropriation, for irriga-
ton purposes, but first of all the
moral support of the citizens.
Next week after the first Of
fetal meeting of the directors of
the Gillian County Booster Club
we will tell you who the secre-
tary Of the Club will be. Then
we sincerely hope that you will
all send to him some suggestions
or information which you think
will be of value in assisting the
directors in getting out the
Booster Pamphlet, and map
ping out a course for this great
work.
