The contract for the paving of Cot

he had a telephone communication
with his company at noon to the ef-
feet that two big rock crushers at La

were ready for shipment here and
that the pitulithic plant at Baker
would be brought here at once.
When the work is once begun it

Warren representative and he hopes
that before the work is completed the
citizens will decide upon paving other
streets. Mr.. Mahoney declares the

DUCKS THINK GREEN
PAINT WATER, DIE

Deceived by the new green paint
coating on the roofs of two new build
iugs in Pilot Rock eight wild ducks
dashed headforemost into the solid
wood and broke their ne,ks the 9TH
err day. Al least this is the story that
emauaJes from the sheep town and a
number of natives of that bur. are
ready TO swear on their beuled knee
with their right hand raised to heav-
en- ,hlt it is authentic.
According to the story the ducks
were winging their way through the
high attitudes when they suddenly
esp,ed patches of green I'm the midst
of barren hills and fields. Like
parched ana weary Arabs on the
the great sahara suddenly sighting
the cooling oasis, the whole flock of
untamed water fowl dashed for the
color spots. Whether they mistook
the roofs for pools of deep water or
for spots of verdaut vegetation, the
witnesses will not declare. but they
assert in all solemnity that an awful
head-ou collision took place and that
eight of the deluded birds rolled from
the roof to the ground whore they lay
in little fcathered heaps until persons
whose palates have naffiuity for
wild duck meat gathered them up and
transferred them to the frying pan.
