FACTS AND FISHES.

There have been many stories related,
Since Jonah of old set bis sail,
And landed alone on Ninaveh's shores
From the hurricane deck of a whale
And often I've thought and wondered {:
When they don't use elastic to hsh.
How can they stretch size and mum bsr
Without one to show on the dish?
When the first day of April is nearing
And my friends rig their tackle and
flies,
1t is then that commence preparing
To listen to numerous lies;
For chuh they will change to 6 white
fish,
And sucker they change to a pike;
And they always find some little
streamlet
Where the trout never ceases to bite,
I've wondeIed-yes. otttimes have
wondered
At the Stories NY friends often tell,
Atts. catching few thIee-inch sinners
Eow ttsv cause them TO large trout
10 swell.
BIT l'gs toaud ont it's all done by
talking;
Ycu can fish with 8 pin hook and
switch.
And If you're a champion at 6bbiug,
You surely will get the Big fish.
For my friends ofttimes 60 out a.1sh-
ing;
On the river few days are spent.
On returning, you look in their baskets
You would never have known that
they went
But the spell they put up to the paper,
And the fish yarns they spin on the
street,
Would astonlsh and wake Annanias,
And cause poor Sapphira to weep.

Pendleton proposes to get more day
light by turning the hands of her
clocks ahead on May /. Thus. Noun.
tain time will be given the city. The
idea is unique in its conception, and
it is to be hoped that the people down
there will not get added in the new
departure to the extent that they did
when they undertook to revolutionize
the English language through phonet-
ic spelling. Let 'er luck Twill be
a good ad, anyway, and the fellow
whe goes to work at six O'Clock and
the fellow who goes to his labor at
seven, needn't quarrel over the hours
and get things at skies and sevens. for
it's only saying it's seven when it's
six. See?

One by one the old pioneers are

One by one the old pioneers are
dropping away. The last to cross the
great divide, F. M. Mansfield, was of
that sturdy stock that came over the
Oregon trail in the early '50's and
found the country in vast stage of
wilderness. He set about to do bis
share of reclaiming it, and did his
share by persevering toll. At one
time we find him facing the terrors
of Indian war. Next in the mines
at Florence, he mined virgin gold,
then freighted into the Boise Basin
with pack train from The Dalles and
old Umatilla Landing. Later he gave
up the trail for the more peaceful
pursuit of farming, and it was in this
role that we of later generation
knew the man for what be was. And
in the knowing him, there is not one
of US but who was made better by his
acquaintance. for Frank Mansfield
was a man whose influence was for
good. The departure of this kindly
old pioneer is keenly felt by all.

No less a financial authority than
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the

formerly an assistant to the Secretary
of the Treasury. has handed out good
advice to Oregonians this past week.
He says every man should get a piece
Of land and be urges that now is the
time to get it. Mr.. Vanderlip was en-
tertained during the past week by the
Portland Commercial club. He ex-
pressed great confidence in the future
of Oregon and says the very attractive
appearance Of the state impresses him
with the wisdom of every man secur-
ing for himself and family a piece Of
land, for it will not be a great while
until poor man will be unable to get
land. In discussing the financial sit
uation, Mr.. Vanderlip expresses the
belief that business conditions in the
country at large are taking a hopeful
turn. He hnds banks are sound, crop
prospects are good and there is gen.
eral confidence in the future.
