attached To precinct No. IL will be sep
arated and added To precinct No. II,
in the southern end of the village. II
is believed this will bring about big
Improvement.

A BAD PEST.

Mr.. Grant of the Virginia Val
ley section came in today and
was displaying n plant of the
dreaded Russian thistle which he
gathered along the road near the
Foley slough. He states this is
one Of the worst pests ever af-
tlicted on any farming community
and hopes the people will wage
destruction to it ere it gets a
start in the Harney county.
This is rather harmless look
ing plant and has no doubt been
brought in with alfalfa or other
grass seed. The plant will be
placed on exhibition at some pub
lie place in this city where people
may see it and be ready for its
destruction whenever found.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY MUST
BECOME A LAW, SAYS
PRESIDENT.
SPECIAL SESSION is EXPECTED
TAFT Hopes to Get Lodge to Support

Amendments to offer.

Washington. Feb 17.-Senators de-
clare that slowly but surely the reclp-
rocity agreement with Canada IS
gathering momentum that VIII carry
Ii through the senate and on its way
to the White house for executive APP
prevail
The important word was quietly
passed around the senate chamber
that Senator Aldrich. chairman OF the
finance committee and the undisputed
leader Of the Republican forces, mad
written from his southern home, urg-
ing the senate TO support the president
and ratify the agreement without
amendment
The president is also credited with
a plan to enlist the support OF Senator
Lodge by designating him as the lead
err to take charge of the administra-
tions interests during the fight over
reciprocity.
President in Earnest.
Added to these influences is the. be
lief gradually becoming apparently
fixed conviction In minds of senators,
that the president is in earnest ana
will call an extra session unless this
pact with Canada receives definite ac-
ton before adjournment. Neither
Democratic nor Republican leaders
want an extra session and such a
threat would undoubtedly force an
early vote on the agreement.
That 1t will then be adopted Is as
sured for not less than As votes will
be cast for the pact If the senate
comes face to face with the vote.
The house bill was received in the
senate and referred to the committee
on finance.
Not single Republican member Of
the committee is at heart friendly to
the reciprocity agreement.
Stone of Missouri and Money of Mis-
sissippi are probably the only genuine
friends of the agreement on the entire
committee.
Unless the big stick" is swung
with more vigor than President Taft
has yet swung it is questionable If
the Mccall bill can get out of the
finance committee with a favorable
report.
Progressive senators had confer
ence at which it was decided that Mr..
Cummins shall prepare amendments
providing for the free entry into the
United States Of iron ore, dressed
meats and other manufactured prod
ucts that will compensate for the ad-
mission of those products which, he

Louis Agasslx Learned Enough Eng

The death OF Prof. Alexander Agas.
siz last spring called to mind many Of
the Incidents connected with the life
OF his famous father. The career OF
the great naturalist was one of victory
through endeavor When he first Wis

the English language threatened to
stand In the way of mis- advancement
How he met the difficulty Is told b,
Prof Jules Marcou In life, Letters
and Works OF Louis Agassiz."
The FIRE. thing necessary In coming
to the United States was to master
English sufficiently to speak in pub
lie He had been accustomed to trans
late for some years. but he spoke Ii
so little that h. was very hard TO un
derstand- Professor Lyell told him
when Agassiz was in England, that ii
would be useless TO lecture In America
In either French or German. as both
languages were used in narrow limits
He must speak good English If he was
TO make good impression.
D'r ing the long Journey across the
Atlantic in 1916 Agassiz went to work
In earnest to master the new Ian.

speaking and committing to memory
words and sentences. and reneat,ng
them aloud to anyone who had the
patience to hear The captain re-
marked. Il never had a passensar
like you. Professor Agassis.' He a.

Swiss naturalist.
His great memory helped him. soon

and sentences to allow him to sneak

AvlHIon 400 Years 400.

The proposed Scottish aviation meet
ing will not be quite the first gather.
Ing of the kind In this country. At
feast one of the French favorites Of
James. w.. the luckless hero OF F1od-
den. summoned the Scottish court to
an exhibition at Stirling. where he
proposed to fly by means of pair OF
mechanical wings from the wall of the
castle. This was exactly 400 years ago.
The rash inventor sprang boldly
forth from the wall with his two great
wings upon his back. But they proved
quite insufficient for the contest with
the force of gravity, and the inventor
was lucky 10 get Off with no worse
hurt than broken thigh. He ascribed
his failure to the unuwary use of the
feathers Of domestic poultry in the
construction OF his pinlons rather than
the feathers of some of the nobler
birds History does not record, how
ever, that he made any second attempt
