waltz, but a step known as
Straight Texas Its a peculiar
little jig-step, which is kept up
throughout by the figures.
The first figure quickly changes
to the Texas Turn" in which the
partners Turn the Dishrag and
wind up at arms length facing
each other. Then they jig toward
one another slowly for the Tex
as Dip" which is the prettiest fig
ure in the dance. 1t resembles
somewhat the ''Schottische Dip"
but is a little more extreme. Both
dancers, close together and facing
each other, dip nearly to the floor
in perfect time to the music.
The Dip leads into the Texas
reverse swing" where the dane
ers turn quickly and slide to arms
length in opposite directions.
These figures, the principal ones
of the dance, have many elaborate
variations, according to the abil-
ity of the dancers.
The effect of staging the Texas
Tommy has been to elevate it
from a common beer-hall gambol
to a dance of refinement, grace
and beauty. 1t doesn't need the
whitewash brush. 1t is clearly
entitled to a clean bill of health.

The Pacific Northwest Land Prod
November 1928, inclusive, promises
to be one of the biggest displays that

fruits and vegetables forming a por-
tion of the main exhibits from the

The Southern Pacific Company is
not only offering a handsome silver
cup for the district making the best

grown along the lines of it's system,
but is also affording other incentives
which will spur competition. Gen
erous cash prizes are offered by the
land show management, and Superin-
tendent Low declares that the Ash
land district is going after some of
them.
The Commercial Club has gotten
out a small folder relative to dry
farming conditions he>eabouts, EMU

methods under actual experimental
tion on various tracts in this vicin-
ity. This literature will not only be
distributed at Portland under the
auspices of the land show, but copies
are available for general circulation,
the folder having been arranged in
convenient form as an ordinary let
ter enclosure.

SHORT IS LONG CHANCE
Bus Driver Finds Boss Is Short On
Name Instead of Change, Says
Portland Paper.

Oregonian His name was short
and to this circumstance is appended
a short story.
He came in on a delayed train
from Seattle yesterday morning and,
without the slightest hesitancy or in
quiry, took a seat in the automobile
bus of the Hotel Oregon.
The bus runner came in to collect
the fares. The man from Seattle
made no move that indicated an in
tention of paying.
Fare, please" said the runner.
I'm from Seattle. I'm Short,
answered the stranger.
We'll if your short, perhaps some
of your friends will help you out"
Whereupon several passengers sig
nified their willingness to help out
fellow traveller, declaring they had
been there themselves.
You don't understand" said the
man, flushing. I'm from the Seat
tie Hotel I'm Short"
No wonder you're short if you
stopped in Seattle for any length of
time" said one of the passengers.
1--WE been there"
WELL" said the runner, "if you
haven't got the quarter, l can have
it charged on your bill at the hotel"
When the Oregon was reached the
runner told the clerk he was short
one fare.
The man registered as "Al d.
Short, Seattle" and was warmly wei
coined by the clerk. He is manager
of the Hotel Seattle, owned by
Wright & Dickinson, who own the
Oregon and Bowers hotels in Port
land.
The bus runner is still short one

of his experiences on his last trip
from Yreka to Medford the last part
of last month. He and Mrs. Walth-
ers were just "a hours making the
trip. They found themselves two
miles from Colestin at dark. Leav-
ing their machine by the roadside,
they walked to Colestin, only to find
the hotel closed and no one there.
They finally found the man who
lived near there and watched the ho-
tel and induced him to unlock the
building. They built a fire, then
rummaged the hotel commissary and
succeeded in appeasing the pangs OF
hunger Next day they secured a
team to pull them down into the val
ley. They finally arrived home and

REFUGE FOR
GAME BIRDS
NJ. j. McALMSTER FARM ON NEIL
CREEK so DEDICATED.
PHEASANTS ARE TURNED LOOSE
Game Warden Hubbard Received
Shipment of These Beautiful Birds
Wednesday for the McAllister
Game Bird Preserves.

NJ. j. McAllister, who owns GAO
acre farm on Neil creek, has dedi-
Gated it 10 the state as game bird
preserve. Under the terms of the
agreement Mr.. McAllister binds him
self to the state to neither hunt nor
permit others to hunt on the place
for the next five years. In consider
alton of this promise the state will
stock the place with game birds, es-
pecially Chinese pheasants. Two
dozen of these birds were received
Wednesday from the state game
warden and were met by Deputy
Game Warden Hubbard, who took
them at once to the McAllister farm
and released them. There were also
several of the same kind of birds
released upon that place a few years
ago.
The penalty for killing Chinese
pheasants at any time of year is not
less than $25 for each bird killed,
and may be more at the discretion
of the court Anyone shooting on
the McAllister place will also be
liable to the regular penalty for tres
passing upon the property.
There are other places along Neil
creek which it is expected will be
dedicated as game bird refugees, and
they will be stocked with quail and
grouse, according to advices received
from headquarters by Deputy Game
Warden Hubbard. The pheasants
received were raised upon the state
game farm at Corvallis, Ore.

Clara Morris Becomes Blind.

New York, Nov. 11.-Clara Nor
ris, in her day the greatest emotion
al acturess on the American stage,
is totally and permanently blind,
Such was the admission made last
night at The Pines, 537 Riverside
avenue, Yonkers, by the former stage
favorites husband, Frederick c. Har-
riott.
The specialists, who for more than
a year have employed every resource
of their craft to sustain her failing
sight, said her power of vision had
left her forever and was beyond hope
of restoration. She is in her 66th
year.
The condition of her health has
made her virtual invalid for several
years. Her activities during this
period have ben entirely literary, and
her unsparing use of her eyes in con-
nection with the memoirs, novels and
short stories she prepared for publ
cation undoubtedly hastened the COM
ing of the darkness she and her
friends dreaded.
