That the play of week ago called
Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush" as given
by the Orpheum Players at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, gave evil
dence of the remarkable ability of this
organization, is accentuated by the multi
tudes who attended the performances, and
will long be remembered. Following with
the adaptation of Henry c. DeMille, of
Ludwig Fulga's fascinating play called
THE Lost Paradise" again signifies the
remarkable versatility and art of the
players. The announcement for the week
of February 10th of big revival of the
famous play "The Deep Purple" will no
doubt be a welcome, being the best work
of the popular author, Paul Armstrong.
As will be recalled, the play deals with
life in the underworld, familiar to many
only from hearsay. The action is quick,
the climaxes strong, while the scenes per-
NIT of handsome stage settings, beside an
excellent cast, which will include all the
favorites of the Orpheum Players
In the early future for production at
this theatre, there is doctor Bill one
of the most brilliant of farce comedies:

drama, and i.Barbara's Millions with
many other notable successes by our best

them the following: The Man From

English Bakers Had to Be Careful In
the Old Days.

In the time of Edward l. of England
innkeepers were not permitted to make
either bread or beer The former they
were obliged by law to buy from the
baker and the latter from the brewer
In "Customs of Old England f. j.
Smell declares that If the law defended
what was considered the legitimate
claim of the baker to a proper liveli
hood it was equally solicitous for the
welfare of his customers and was most
severe upon the baker who sold bread
deficient in weight or quality.
For the first offense he was ORA wn
on a hurdle through the prime ipal
streets, which would be thronged with
people and foul with traffic, with tie
offending loaf suspended from his neck
From pen and ink sketch of this cere-
mony 1t appears that the unhappy
tradesman wore neither shoes nor
stockings and had his arms strapped
to his sides. 1t seems also that two
horses drew the hurdle, which suggests
that it ratified along at pretty lively
pace
For the second offense the baker en-
joyed another ride upon the hurdle and
then underwent an hours exposure in
the pillory. If he proved SO incorrigi-
BILE as to commit the offense a third
time his oven was demolished and he
was forbidden to follow his trade.

The Monteneqrins.

1t is only in recent years that Monte.
negrins have begun to appreciate the
services of the hospital Hume Bea-
man, after visiting the country in 1899
wrote that the people take very little
care of their children, and only the
sound and strong grow up In after
life, too, they are extremely averse to
sanitary precautions or medical treat
ment, and sick Montenegrin is almost
synonymous with dead man. At least
he at once gives himself up and, If he
RECEIVERS, looks upon it as a curious
freak in natures laws. The few who
reluctantly submit to losing an arm or
leg invariably refuse anaesthetics
and converse with their friends, smok-
ing a cigarette while the knife and
saw are at work"

Victor Hugo's Views on the lmmor-
tality of the Soul.


Victor Hugo's opinion on the question
OF life beyond the grave was a remark
able one. The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends In a future world. He
was equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluvian times
when the Creator placed him on earth.
He believed that he would exist for.
ever, inasmuch as he felt in his soul
thousands of hymns, dramas and po-
ems that had never found expression
When the atheists would say to him,
"The proof that you will not exist in
the future is that you did not exist in
the past" Hugo would answer:
"Who told you did not exist in the
past centuries? You will say that is
the legend of the ages. The poet has
written, Life is fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said thousand
times written. You do not believe in
the doctrine of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not reeollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re.
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember a thousand and
one scenes and events Of your present
life? Since 1902 there have been ten
Victor Hugos in me. Do you think
that l can recall all their actions and
all their thoughts?
''The tomb is dark, and when l shall
have passed the tomb to emerge into
light once more all these Victor Hugos
will be almost wholly strangers to me,
but 1t will always be the same soul"

Frederick c. Penfield was walking
along a New Jersey road while his
chauffeur fixed broken tire. He no

Enthusiastically French and seem to
me delightful in spirit. Over the road

Distance of Planets.

The distance of the sun and planets
from the earth may best be perceived
by the following fact: A train of cars
going at a mile a minute would
reach the moon in $50 days, Venus in
fifty years, Mars in seyenty-six years,
Mercury in ITO years. the sun in It's
years, Jupiter in 740 years, Saturn in
1,47O years, Uranus in $3.50 years,
Neptune in 5,055 years. To reach the
nearest fixed star our train, steadily
maintaining its mile a minute speed,
would require about 100000 years

ORE bill that has been introduced In the
Legislature is already being discussed and
the general opinion is that the measure is
a good one. The bill provides that every
deed for the conveyance Of land mast con-
tain in words at length the true and actual
consideration of the conveyance, verified
by the oath or affirmation of the grantors.
Objection has been made to this bill on
the ground that 1t is nobody's business
what person pays for piece of property,
but that argument is met by the answer
that 1t Is very much somebody's business
Now, the wording in nearly every deed is
zone dollar and other valuable consider
alton" and the paper thus goes on record
That 1t Is the affair of the public to know
that the price paid is evidenced by the
fact that the deed must be recorded In a
public Office and be open to public In
spectIon. Under the law the county CLERK
or register Of deeds must send to the
assessor q notice Of the transfer OF all
property. 1t is plain to be seen how valu
able the price may be to aid that official
not only In fixing valuation on that par
ticular plot but to be guide to the value
Of other property in the neighborhood-
The pra,tice of keeping secret the price
paid should be abolished by law.

ONE Of the bills that has passed the
House of Assembly and has had two read
ings In the Senate deals with the retire.
ment Of teachers. 1t provides that a
teacher may retire of her own volition or
be retired by the Board Of Education after
thirty. five years of service. The law pro-
vides that the teacher must be paid dur
Ing life one-half Of the yearly salary
received while In service. The bill differs
from the law already in effect by having
this payment made by the state instead
Of by the township In which the teacher
resides. This Is very wise provision.
The schools are becoming more and more
q state charge and there would seem to be
very good ground for taking the cost OF
this pension from the funds of the state
There Is another bill under consideration
which Is not SO good. 1t provides that
the minimum salary of teacher must be
$500 per year with an increase of $50 per
year until the maximum sum of $500 is
reached. The effect of such law on the
finances of some of the townships la this
state may easily be seen when Burlington
county Ia looked at as an example.

has been recorded and three lives have
been blotted out. The tragedy occurred
at crossing on the Pennsylvania railroad

regarded as dangerous. A iagman is on
duty during certain hours but his time
was up when this accident happened. The

fifteen minutes late but the fiagman had
served his hours and was not compelled to
wait any longer and the crossing was not
protected. Investigation is being con-
Quoted to discover who was to blame. and

eide what methods shall be used to elimin-
ate the deadly grade crossing, who shall
pay the expense. and all that sort of thing.

While the writer has no per-
sonal information, we believe
that on account of hls past con-
nection with the management of
the County Fair the Editor OF
the Times Herald has refrained
from publishing anything relative
to the lack of interest manifest
ed by the Board of Directors in
preparing for the Harney County
Fair this Fall.
This certainly is a most favor
able year to hold a good. old
fashioned agricultural fair. A
fine display of products can be
assembled and much useful in
formation furnished to all visi-
tors. Such displays can always
be passed on and used for other
occasions. This really should be
one step in the Agricultural Col
lege Extension work, as It gives
an excellent opportunity for the
farmers to compare notes and
study the results of the different
varities and methods of cropping.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1913-08-09

proposes to take care of and cor
rect these conditions. There
would be no opposition IL the
matter was rightly considered
and understood. No reasonable
project proposes to take any
water out of Harvey Valley for
use on other lands, 1t can't be
done. The flood waters, how
ever, must be absolutely controll-
ed and wisely distributed, and
the residue Of highly alkaline and
mineral charged seepage water
which naturally seeks the lowest
level must be drained off.
The construction of a compre-
hensive irrigation and drainage
system will directly benefit every
land owner in Harney Valley by
increasing the usefulness and
value of his land; it will indi-
rectly benefit every man, woman
and child in the valley by insur-
ing transportion, settlement, and
increased opportunities in the
business and social life.
