The Bsar He Missed,

Telling in hts book Of some hunting
experiences near the north pole, Cap
tain Sverdrup wrote: "Walruses and
seals were h%arpooned and shot and
also the large arctic hare, which seems
to have contracted the peculiar habit
OF frequently running long distances
on its hind legs. Hunting was not al
ways easy, the atmosphere playing
strange tricks with the eyeslght, as

stalking Of a bear: With the utmost

FIGHT SHY OF A RAT.

Run the Risk of a Bite.
Never attack q rat In a closed
ROOM" says an old warehouseman who
has had a world of experience In deal
ing with rodents. "Open a door or
window and give 1t a chance to get
away. Even II you've got a dog to
help you. you may be bitten If you
don't. Rat bites are very dangerous.
A rat eats all sorts of carrion and

into anything else he wants to sample,
Here's another idiosyncrasy Of
rats. They logically carry out the
principle Of the survival of the dttest.
And they are not merely suffragettes
or s%uffragists, but the females abso-
lutely boss the rat tribe. The slight
est token Of physical weakness In the
baby rat Is the signal for death at the
teeth Of Its mother. About FIVE rats
survive from q nest of ten OF fifteen.
The male rat will fight to save the
little ones, but Is invariably driven of
by the ferocity of the mother. You
never say u rat yet that wasn't q per-
feet specimen, If the mothers did not
have this trait the earth would be
overrun with rats.

a suburbsnite but lately married

lamps had not been lit IN the road In

see his way. A short distance up the
road he met, as he thought, his wife,
who had been out to tea, and as he
went past he just whispered:
"All right, my dear; l shall be with
you IN a minute"
Immediately after be had said these
words he saw the lady turn a startled
look upon him and then hurry away.
and the horrible idea occurred to him
that It was not his wife at all and that
In the darkness he had made a mis-
take. He decided to say nothing about
the matter and quickly disappeared,
When he returned home he found his
wife waiting for him. and she at once
greeted him with the words;
"Oh, George, l have had such a
frightful experienced / was just COM

stop me and said, All right, dear; l

when an idea came to him.

asked.

that he would not mo,est her any

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

Any claim that this paper has been
at any time lacking in zeal for the
waterusers' in this vicinity is based
on utter fasehood. 1t was asserted
time and again by this paper that the
welfare of the upper river users should
be thoroughly looked after. 1t was
the purpose of all right minded local
people TO guard those rights and the
Commercial club did so on the night
it passed the resolution endorsing the
West Extension.
The third resolution passed on thai
occasion asked the United States gov.
ernment to protect the rights and vel
fare of the old settlers and to allow
them to irrigate their lands on tn,
theory that irrigation in this vicinit!

will aid irrigation enterprises farther
down the river.
That resolution though brief cover
ed the subject fully and embodies the
same sentiments as are expressed in
| Judge Lowel's peace" resolution.
/ The only difference is that JuIse
1 Lowers resolution goes NOR. into He-
tail and makes a request of tAe state
water board also--a request which
would have been needless in a COM
munication that was tn be wired the
president as was the first resolution
l, cost enough as it was
The main purpose of Judge Lowell's
resolution was to furnish a soft spot
for senator Burgess to light upon. Mr.
Burgess started an improper attack
upon the Commercial clubs action
and he quickly found himself in a bad
plight. He wanted to quit but did not
want to strike too hard when he came
down. He knew the Steiwer resolu.
ton would not go ana that his gueril-
Ia attack had failed He was up
against it until Judge Lowell came to
his rescue with his peace" resolution

ian Joined in making the soft spot

Monday night when the Commercial
club, on motion made by the editor
Of this paper, adopted the Lowell res,
o!ution.
The, East Oregonian is thoroughly
satisfied with what has been done. 1t
would be hard to improve upon the
course taken by local people, through
their Commercial club. But this pa
per does resent having pettifoggers as
sert that this paper was or that the
Commercial club was at any time re.

PLAYING WITH DEATH.

The dangerous folly of pointing an
"unloaded" gun at a person has been
brought close home to people in this
section by the tragedy at Myrick sta
ton Tuesday evening. A fine young
man is dead because he thoughtlessly
pointed a pistol at his friend and his
friend retaliated with rifle he did
not know was ready for use.
On the present case it is needless
t. dwell. Arp is dead and young
Breeding win carry a sorrow through
life. But the accident should serve
as a stern warning to others not to
point guns at people Loaded or un-
loaded a gun should never be used in
this manner. A gun is a deadly weap-
on and is intended for serious pur-
poses only. 1t is a noticeable fact that
experienced hunters and officers who
carry guns are extremely careful not
to point them at people in fun. Other:
should follow their example.
Never point gun at a person il
jest. 1t is playing with Death.
