REV. A. J. IRWIN RESIGNS.

The many warm friends of
Rev. A. j. Irwin regret TO learn
that he has resigned as pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church OF
this place and accepted n call as
Sunday School Missionary and
Pastor Evangelist in the south
western part of this state. This
is n position Of great responsible
ty and covers a territory of eight
counties. II comes to him unsoli.
cited and with such urgency that
he felt it his duty to accept.
Covering such a territory Mr..
Irwin will be deprived Of the
close personal relation and friend
ships that have brought him SC
close to q wide circle Of friends
and church workers during his
long residence here as pastor.
He is particularly fitted for the
work he has been called upon tC
assume and while we reluctantly
consent to his transfer we GER
tainly congratulate the church
people in the new field.
Mr.. Irwin has been pastor OF
the Presbyterian church of Burns
for over eleven years and during
that period he and his estimable
wife have endeared themselves
to not only the church but a wide
circle of friends all over the en-
tire county. IL will be a hard
matter to find n pastor to supply
this church after he has gone.
He will leave here March q SC
as to be on the new field the first
of April. Mrs. Irwin and the
boys will not leave until June
when they will go to Albany
where they have a nice little
farm.

A little girl wrote this compo-
sition on man. Men are what
women marry. They drink and
smoke and swear, but don't go
to church. Perhaps If they wore
bonnets they would. They are
more logical than women, anG
also more geological. Both men
and women sprung from mon
keys, but the woman sprung fur
ther than the men. "-Ex.

THE MOON AND POTATOES

After exhaustive experiment.
in potato planting. the UniteC
States Department of Agricultur,
has to say thatin season one tim,
is as good as another TO put pota
toes in the ground.
Almost every one, even if hC
were not reared in the country
has heard Of the idea about plant
ing potatoes in the dark of the
moon. The field workers of the
department of agriculture have
been investigating the matter and
have found that rs per cent OF
the farmers of this alleged en-.
lightened country put in thiel
crops and do a good many other
things about the farm governed
solely by the moons phases.
Many farmers tell you that il
you plant potatoes in the dark OF
the moon they will run to tubers,
and if in the light of the moon
they will run to tops, and crops
are planted accordingly.
There is usually a basis in fact
for any superstition, and the
moon superstition is so deeply
rooted that a number of experts
from the department of agricul-
ture, while going up and down
and across the land, have made
it their business TO study the
question and see whether there
might not be q germ Of truth or,
at least, some reason for the
general belief that the moons
phases have an effect on animal
and vegetable life. They have
concluded after patient investiga-
ton that the moon myth is one
of the comparatively few myths
that date back to pure savagery
and has absolutely not an atom
Of scientific foundation on which
to stand. The agricultural ex-
pertinent stations all over the
country have been defying this
for years and raising
just as good crops when the moon
was one way as when it was the
other. Therefore, once and for
all, it is conclusively decided that
there is nothing to the theory
that potatoes should be planted
in the dark of the moon.
All of this may not seem very
serious investigation for a great
government to undertake, but
The work nevertheless has been
interesting to the scientists, and
4 they have succeeded in wean-
ng a few from the old supersti-
ions about planting potatoes,

The Chewaucan Press says
there are mad coyotes in the vic
unity of Alkali Lake in Lake
county and sheep men are arm
ing their men and keeping a close
watch. We have been under the
impression that this mad coyote"
business was a farce and more
newspaper talk than anything
else. However it might be well
to look out for such things.

BUCKAR0OES MEET
ECHO TOMORROW

Confident of boosting themselves
one more notch upon the percentage
column, the Buckarooes will journey
to Echo on the local in the morning
to meet the Lizards in the third and
last game between these two teams.
Already the local boys have taken two
from Manager Stanfield's men and, as
they are stronger now than ever be-
fore, there is no reason why they
should not win tomorrow's game
However, Stanfield is a resourceful
manager and may slip a surprise lem
on to the Pendleton bunch.
Tomorrow's games mark the be-
ginning Of the third round and Pen
dleton's chances loom much bright
er than they did at the beginning of
either of the other rounds. The team
which will represent this city tomor-
row is. of the pennant winning cali
bre and Manager Nelson believes he
will stow away the remainder of the
games of the season.
Quite a number of fans will make
the trip to Echo tomorrow and the
game will be called so that they can
catch the local back.

Bounty Law Working Successfully and

Dan p. Smythe, secretary of the
Oregon woolgrowers' association and
who drafted the coyote bounty law
now in force, is aroused over the in
timation from the county clerks Of
flee that the bounty law is being
abused by men who are raising coy
otes so as to collect the bounty.
''It is all bosh about men running
coyote farms,' says Smythe. Under
the law a fine of $1,000 may be i'm
posed upon anyone who even keeps
coyote in captivity outside a me-
nagerie. If County Clerk Sailing
knows OF anyone who is raising coy

or the prosecuting attorney. If he

Smythe has never been a friend OF
the coyote bounty law but instead
has always fought it. Other county

the law and have had deputies named
