Oyster Can Change Its SEX.

At the Academy of Science in Paris
recently Edmund Perrier, director Of
the Museum of Natural History, sub
mitted a series of singular research
es by NJ. Danton, who has discovered
that the sex Of an oyster often varies
in the same subject without apparen,
cause.
Another fact ascertained by M. Dan
ton is the triumph of fenininity
among oysters, the male being the In
ferior and weaker sex, and as food
conditions change for the better or
worse, they transform themselves
from one sex to the other.

CITY HAS LARGE
BALANCE ON HAND

With a cash balance on hand of
$49,621.2S. the municipality of Pen
dleton emerged from the year of
1911. a year in which a great many
public improvements had been made
at a considerable cost. A survey of
the books of the city recorder and city
treaturer shows the balance to be as
above and also shows a few other in
teresting figures.
The total receipts of the year, as
revealed, amount to $120,202 OF,
while the total expenditures aggregate
$101, ,4S3.01.
The chief sources of revenue of the
city for the past year have been the
taxes, fines and licenses. The largest
amount was secured from taxes, the
property owners having paid in $41,-
1868. From licenses s1S,252.15 was
derived, while the fines of offenders
made the city richer by s7,432.65. The
remainder of the receipts was divid-
ed among a number of lesser revenue
sources.
OF the sum expended. more than
half was for improvements, the bet
terment fund showing a total of $685.

LAUNDRY STRIKE SPREADS
$4,000 Workers Are Out ard 1000
VIII BE Tomorrow.

New York, Jan 3.-With $4,000
laundry workers out, and another 10,-
900 ready to strike tonight New
York is facing one of the most serious
laundry famines in her history. To-
morrow it is expected that $4,000
workers will be out. necessitating the
closing of six hundred steam and fif-
teen hand laundries here.
William Armour, who is conduct ng
the strike, said today that the strike
would spread to the laundries of 9TH
er nearby cities.
1t will be hard to put on unskilled
laborers, as the claims for torn clothes
would make the expenses too high.
Margaret Hinchay, speaking for the
strikers, sad the conditions are
wretched: that the child labor laws
are persistently violated; that the low
wages of four or five dollars weekly
forced the girls into lives of immor-
ality; that the rooms are unsanitary
and tuberculosis is common among
the workers.
They demand the reduction of the
working day to ten hours, the safe
guarding Of machines and increase OF
wages.

Birch and Mckay Folk to
Use Flood Waters if Gov
ernment ReIinquishes.
WILL GREATLY AID CROPS
State Engineer Permits Action With
Payment of Filing Fees Only-Ffve
Thousand Acres Are Involved In
latest Move.

Upon the advice of their attorneys
and following the consent of the state
engineer to make their filings with
out the customary fees, many of the
land owners along Birch and Mckay
creeks have forwarded filings upon
the flood waters of those streams
subject to the REIMBURSEMENT of the
government filings. Today many of
these filings are being entered with
Engineer Lewis, the papers having
been forwarded Monday.
1t is estimated that filings will be
made upon at least enough water to
irrigate 5000 acres, attorney Frederick
Steiwer himself having forwarded fill
ings for PASS acres lying in a strip of
bench land along Birch creek this side
of Pilot Rock and extending for a
distance of five or six miles. The
land owners who have made the fill
ings are Frank Sherman, George Male,
]. A. Guderain, G. w. Bush, Amos
Owing, Carl Hemphill. ]. NJ Hemp
hill, Mrs. Carrie Sparks, John Sparks,
George W. Runyan, Jessie V. Muir,
John Balm.
All of this land is at present under
cultivation and the owners believe
that with one irrigation in the spring,
they can produce three crops of al
falfa on it.
In March, 1909, the government fill
ed upon all of the flood waters of
the streams and, inasmuch as there
is no summer flow, this action prac-
tically prevented irrigation by the
farmers along the courses. The gov
ernment has never used the water
and it is believed may abandon its
rights to it. In this case it will be
available for use by the farmers
whose filings are now being made.
BY special permission frob Engi-
neer Lewis, these farmers are enabled
to enter their filings by paying only
the filing fees and without going to
the expense of making surveys and
sending in maps. If, however, the
water should become available for
them, they will be required to COM
plete their filings for fulfilling all of
the specifications of the law.

that relatives of the men residing here

DID REV. MILNES
FEAR LOSS OF SCALP?
Keeps Gun Close BY at In
dian Feast; Forgets
To Eat

Rev. ]. NJ. Cornelison, Presbyterian
missionary at the Tutuilla mission, is
responsible for good story on his
brother minister, Rev. Frank ].
Mines, pastor of the local Presbyte-
rian church. The Indians who are
under the spiritual guidance of the
missionary. had planned a gigantic
New Years feast and had invited all
of their friends, both red and white
to join with them in partaking of the
viands.
Rev. Mines was among those in
vited and, never having attended such
an occasion, he promptly responded.
Now it seems that the local minister
mas a Krag-Jorgenson rifle OF which
he is very proud and with which he
has become quite marksman. Wish
Ing to test his eye and nerves while
in the country, he took his trusty
weapon with him and, when he seat
ed himself at the table. laid the young
cannon by his side.
Now, according to Rev. Cornelison,
the novelty of sitting among 200 or
more native Americans quite delight
ed the minister from the east, so much
so in fact that he forgot to eat, and.
while all others were busily engaged
in devouring the good things spread
before them, he was looking from left
to right in his enjoyment of the
unique experience.
His actions, it seems, were misinter-
rupted by one of the braves whose
business it was to see that every one
was supplied with enough to eat. See
Ing the minister with his rifle beside
him and glancing. as he thought, un-
easily about him, he made a sign to
Rev. Cornelison and asked him to in
terpret the following message to the
stranger. Tell the visitor to help
himself and not to be afraid of u.s."
The feast itself, according to the
we'll known missionary, was one of the
best ever prepared by the local red
men. A great abundance of fresh
salmon, a barbacued steer and $50
worth of cakes and dainties from the
city furnished a New Years dinner
to more than 200 people. 1t was
served at the Tutuilla mission and
following the feast, exercises appro-
pros of the beginning of a new year
were held, the Indian ministers and
deacons taking a prominent part.
