WIVES, "yOLLY" YOUR HUBS.
Advice Given to Women as Means of
Retaining Felicity.

Chicago, March Women ought
to Jolly" their husbands. thinks
Judge C. N. Goodrow, of the Chicago
Court Of Domestic Relations.
In addressing the Women's Aid
and Loan Society last night, Judge
Goodrow said:
''The trouble is that men and wo-
men, after they are married, forget
the nice little things which count Sc
much. They no longer pat each
other on the cheek. Jolly each other
and take moonlight strolls together.
They become too matter-of-fact and
soon one of them comes to believe
the other doesn't care enough. This
leads to quarrels and separation.
One woman interrupted the judge
to raise the question of woman suf-
frage.
Il don't believe in women voting,
responded the speaker, and continu-
ed his address.

CRUSHED HIS HIP.
f. F. blanche Crushed Between Wag-
ON and Wharf at River Landing.

Mr.. F. F. blanche met with a
very painful accident Monday morn
ing at the wharf at the foot of Co
lumbia street. While attending to
the unloading Of resin at the wharf
he got damned between the wagon
and the wharf and had his hip quite
badly crushed. His brother, Mr..
Aug. blanche was notified of the &C
cident and fastened to him. Mr.. E.
J. Frederick had already reached
there and notified Mr.. Poole to rush
his automobile to the scene of the
accident. Mr.. blanche was lifted
carefully to the seat and laid upon
it. He seemed to have no use for
his lower limbs, but was strong
enough to help himself with arms.
He was taken home where he re-
ceived immediate medical attention.
He is getting along nicely. but will
not be able to be out for while.

WILL BE READY FOR EASTER.

The Stern Dry Goods Co. has NOV
ed into its new quarters ON Column
bia street, in the H. H. Smith build
ing. This building is on the site OF
the building that was destroyed by
the late fire, in which the Stern Co.
was then situated, so that it is now
virtually in their old stand. This
company conducts an up-to-date dry
goods establishment, and at the time
of the fire was a pride to the town,
both in interior and show window
decoration, and always carried a
large stock of goods. Entering its
new quarters at this time will nc
doubt give it ample opportunity to
prepare for the Easter trade, and the
show window will be watched for
the latest novelties of Easter time.

down on their poor unfed and skele-
ton like bodies; shelter would do
more good than food. Think Of q
poor little calf born on a cold and
rainy night, of which we have had
SO many this last winter, without
shelter over it, and wet and cold
ground to lay on. Think of the ago
ny of that mother COW and then you
can form some idea of the suffer-
|ings of those animals. Very often
that calf never gets up because of
exhaustion. The same, or even
worse, with sheep. Last year the
police jury of this parish passed an
ordinance compelling people to pay
81 tax for every dog in this parish
1t is bad enough to pay dog taxes in
the towns, where dogs are more of
Ia luxury, but to put tax on the
farmers dog, especially in the in
terror where dog is necessity,
lis an outrage Quitting it in q mild
'way), and step backwards. It is
q one-sided tax and seems to be di-
rected against the people living in
the interior. Now to retract the
backward step 1t would be in order
to make a big stride forward and
pass an ordinance compelling those
stockmen, in whose interest the dog
tax was enacted, to erect sheds for
their animals on different and con-
venient places. Those sheds would
not only serve as shelter for the ami
mails against cold and rain in win
ter but it would also relieve them
from the sufferings of flies and other
insects in summer, and at the same
time, it would prove material ben
eft for the stockmen themselves.

Twenty Car Loads Of Seed Tubers
Sold to Farmers of That
Section.

Oscar, La, March 6.-Those in po-
sition to know estimate 20 cars of
seed potatoes were sold in the parish

least $4,000 should this seed pro-
duce what is generally realized.
Point Coupee will this year produce
not less than $4,000 bushels of po-
tatoes. Even at so cents !. bushel
the crop would be worth $4,000.
The lands of this parish in some
places have been known to produce
as high as 80 bushels of potatoes
an acre. Many of the farmers have
engaged in the culture Of potatoes
this year and will endeavor TO supply
the market. The few acres of spring
oats planted in this vicinity were al
most a complete failure, and as it is
too late now to plant another crop
there will not be any spring crop.

Convention.
DECLARES 1T is HIS DUTY
Acting Governor of California Says
Strenuous One Is salvation Of Pro-

ton to Endorse Third Term.

New York, Feb. 12.-That Col.
Roosevelt will outline his policies in
his speech at Columbus when he ad-
dresses the constitutional convention
February 21st is the belief of poll
ticians. 1t is expected he will outline
the lines upon which he will make the
presidential race, in the event he is
nominated.
Colonel Roosevelt will address mem
bers of the convention in the fore
noon and then return to New York
in the afternoon.
In writing to Secretary Galbraith,
Colonel Roosevelt said:
II have been declining invitations
to speak, but this seems not so much
an invitation to speak as request to
help the representatives of a great
state that is engaged in a great fun
damental piece of governmental
work, in behalf of the citizens OF the
state. Under such circumstances it is
both a pleasure and my duty to ac-
cept"

GRANTS PASS AFTER
LOWER LIGHT RATES

Grants Pass, Or, Feb. 12.-At an
adjourned meeting or the city coun-
Gil Saturday evening an ordinance
was introduced which, is passed, will
greatly reduce the present high rate
charged for electricity. The COM
pany sells electricity to Ashland at a
greatly reduced price. The ordi-
nance, if passed. will practically cut
the present water rate in half. A
resolution was adopted by the city
council which will annul the present
contract between the Rogue River
Electric company and city of Grants
Pass for lighting the city.
An amendment to the city charter
was introduced which will provide for
the issuance of bonds by the city up to
100000 for the purpose of construct
ing water and electric power plants,
also for lighting purposes. The
thought is prevalent throughout the
city that both the water and electric
light rates are grossly excessive and
there is an active interest in the de-
mand for municipal plants, both for
lighting and water purposes.

REPORT OF RECLAMATION ENGINEERS ON WEST
EXTENSION OF UMAT|LLA PROJECT IS READY

conduct hearings in order to ascer-
tain the actual conditions and more
particularly the feasibility of the un-
dertaking.
The engineers went to Hermiston
January 20 and devoted the greater
part of II days to the investigation,
which consisted of formal hearings
at Hermiston, Pendleton, Arlington
and Stanfield. At the Pendleton
hearing settlers on the Birch and
Mckay creeks, who desire to make
further diversions from those trihr-
taries of the Umatilla, presented their
case. On another day the engineers
visited these streams and made a de-
tailed examination as to their flow
and whether or not the additional ap-
preparation should be permitted. At
Arlington the engineers interviewed
settlers regarding the proposed John
Day project.
Until the report of the board
reaches the director of the reclama-
tion service at Washington, 1 am not
permitted to disclose its contents,
particularly the recommendations we
have made to the department" said
Mr.. Davis, yesterday. "I will say,
however, that although the proposed
west extension of the Umatilla pro-
ject is opposed by a great many peo-
pie, majority of those attending the
hearings conducted by the board were
in favor of the extension.
81 was particularly impressed with
the broad-minded attitude taken of
the situation by a great many PEN
dleton people, particularly by the
members of the Commercial club of
that city. They We're strongly in IA
vor of the extension, although the
project if carried out, would sub
merge a considerable acreage imme-
diately tributary to Pendleton before
the water could be diverted for the
irrigation of acreage many miles re-
moved from Pendleton, and much of
it in another county altogether.
"Those who appeared before the
/ board in advocacy of the extension
disclaimed any desire to urge upon
the government the expenditure OF
any money in this or any other pro-
ject in which from an engineering
and business standpoint the scheme
was not deemed entirely wise and
feasible"

Continue to give close personal at

equipped by long training and wide
experience as public accountant.
Continue active and harmonious
cooperation with other members of

ceeded in placing our state institutions
on more economical basis and
higher plane of efficiency.
Since taxpayers pocketbooks are
vitally affected by the conduct of this
office, which disburses $2,500, 900
yearly, I shall continue to apply the
acid test to all claims against the
public funls.
I request that the following words
be placed after my name on the Of

The state is now ready to proceed
with the letting of a contract for lay
ing the sewer line for the branch hos
pital and Superintendent C. A. Muir

plumbing contract. The plumbing
contract was let some time ago to the

GOODWIN Is NAME
OF ASYLUM STATION

Goodwin is to be the name by
which the station at the branch asy-
lum site is to be known in railroad
circles, the name having been chosen
by the officials in honor of NJ. E.
Goodwin. the father of Pendleton.
Recently Jack O'Neil, travelling
passenger agent of the O,-W. R. &
n. company was in the city and asked
Secretary Keefe of the Commercial
association for suggestions for
name to be used by the railroad for
the asylum station, and Secrtary
Kefe. after confering with business
people of the city, submitted the
names. Goodwin" and Chinook"
Mr.. O'Neil in turn sent the names to
headquarters and the former was Of
ficially chosen.
Because of the significant part
which NJ. f. Goodwin plays in the
history of this city and because
practically nothing has been done to
honor and perpetuate his name, the
choice is meeting with general ap-
proval by the townspeople.
1t was in 1869, according to history.
| that Goodwin and his wife, who is
row Mrs. Aura Raley, donated part
of their homestead as a townsite for
a new county seat when a widespread
| dissatisfaction with the location of
the county offices at Umatilla de-
manded a change. The Goodwins at
that time owned and conducted
roadhouse where now stands the Ho-
tel Pendleton and also a toll bridge
where now the new $4,000 steel
structure connects the north and south
side of the city.
The name is made more appropri-
ate too by reason of the fact that the
asylum site was formerly known as
Swifts station and as such played a
part in the history of the county.
having for few short months served
as the county seat
