HUMOROUS QU|Ps..
An Overworked Person.

Being the only small child in family
hotell
The married ladies' grab him
For just quick caress;
The transient" persons nab him
And hold him in duress.
The spinster ladies seize him
At play upon the floor;
The maidens young displease him
by kissing him some more.
They smooth his hair and ruffles.
They wipe his mouth and eyes
With practiced hand that muffies
His fierce, indignant cries,
And when they cease to busy
Themselves with such as this
In awful sequence dizzy
They kiss and kiss and kiss!
And thus his day is ended,
And thus his days begun.
All vote him fairly splendid
And quite the best of fun.
But underneath the lightness
One glimpses sudden CLEANS,
In eyes long past their brightness,
OF unforEotten dreams!

WHALE. FIGHTING SHARK,
ARISE CLOSE TO BOAT

NEWPORT, Ore, Aug. ga
school of whales was sighted off New
port and the Ollie S, going out with
a party of hunters and tourists, wit
messed a wonderful sight when a large
whale jumped clear of the water when
it was close enough for those on
board to see the barnacles on it and
also the thrasher shark which was
fighting it.
The Ollie was following the whales
when this large one suddenly jumped
close by with a tremendous splash,
rocking the boat. The thrasher sharks
often attacw the whale and desperate
battles rage before the whale is killed
or escapes. In this instance the shark
was observed to pass under the whale
with lightning speed.
"Old Man" Maurice. in his famous
journey down the coast in a IA foot
iory last year, witnessed at close
range a fight between three sharks
and a whale.

P-IR Is TWICE Welded;
1 CEREMONY NEEDLESS

SALEM, Ore, Aug. 22.-Rev. Geo.
+. Varney, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of Caldwell, Idaho, has
had an unpleasant experience with
Oregon's marriage laws, which has
cost him considerable worry and LA
bility to a $40 fine. He went to Ba
ker August 13 and performed the mar
riage ceremony for his son Royal NJ.
Varney and Miss Jessie Fresh. both
residents of Baker. Rev. Mr.. Varney
and the young couple then went to
Caldwell. The next day he received
a letter from the county clerk of Ba-
ker advising that the marriage was
not legal as the minister had not reg
istered in this state. The couple trav-
eled post haste back to Huntington,
just across the line from Idaho, and
had the nuptial knot tied again, this
time by an Oregon preacher. Rev.
Mr.. Varney then wrote to the attorney
eneral for an opinion, hoping his
ceremony would be held legal. The
attorney general advised that as the
couple had secured a proper license
and the marriage was with their con-
sent the first ceremony was legal, but
that the minister had violated the law
and was subject to fine of $40.

PANAMA DYKE WILL
SOON BE BLOWN UP

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Another
important step toward final compile
tion of the Panama canal will be'ta-
ken next Monday when preparations
will be made to blow up the heavy
earth dyke. now the only barrier be-
tween Miraflores locks and tidewater
on the Pacific side three miles away.
There will be nothing spectacular
about the destruction of the dyke. It's
base will be perforated with holes
heavily charged with dynamite, then
for five days fresh water from the
Rio Grande diversion. one of the riv-
ers in the canal zone, will be turned
into the canal prism and when the
water is near the, level to sea water
on the other side, the charge will be
set off.
Two monster dredges are waiting
to attack the debris and 1t Is expect
ed two or three days will clear
channel through the dyke sufficient to
admit the dredges and vessels of ten
or u feet draught as far as Miraflores
locks. A month later a channel the
full width of the canal prism and deep
enough to pass a battleship will be
completed.
After the destruction of Miraflores
dyke there will remain only two such
distractions along the canal route
one at Gamboa and one third OF the
way through, the dyke holding back
the water from the Culebra cut, and
one over which the railroad crosses
at the Gatun locks.

DYNAMITE PLACED
NEAR MAYOR GAYN0R

NEW YORK, Aug. ga deadly
charge of dynamite-three whole ten
inch sticks and two halves with fuse
and detonator, was discovered yester-
day afternoon near Mayor Gaynor's
office windows in the city hall. The
bureau of combustibles found that the
explosive was forty per cent dyna-
mite, the regulation blasting proper
ton and the amount found would, If
exploded, have wrecked the city hall.
The mayor was in his office when
the dynamite was discovered by cit
izen passing through the city hall
park. Mr.. Gaynor evidenced little in
terest when told of the explosives
proximity and remained apparently
undisturbed at his desk while police
officials hurriedly drew a Gordon
about the dynamite to keep back an
excited crowd.

BUTLER, BURGESS
REFUSE TO SERVE
Will Not Act on Committee to Inyes-
tigate Cello Falls-Malarlley
Is Cause.

SALEM, Ore, Aug. % 1t is no
ticeable that two men appointed by
Senator Dan Malarkey, president of
the senate, on the committee author
lied to spend $4,000 as Oregons
share of the expense of investigating
the power possibilities at Cello Falls,
have refused to serve on the commit
tee. In politics, such refusals usually
mean something Those who are pret-
ty close to the inside workings of the
late legislative assembly declare these
refusals mean that Senator Butler of
Wasco and Senator Burgess of UNA
tilla, the two who have refused the
appointment, won't stand for Presi-
dent Malarkey's broken promise, nor
for the brand of politics being handed
the state in connection with this i'm
portant investigation.
The promise was that if enough of
the law makers who were opposed to
Senator l. n. Days seeming determi-
nation to control and dominate the
whole Cello Falls matter would with
draw their opposition and vote to pass
the Day bill over the governors We
to, President Malarkey would not ap-
point Day on the investigating COM
mittee. But Day was appointed and
there appears to be little difficulty
now in getting some one to serve on
the committee with him.
Malarkey's Relative at That.
While it is declared that this brok-
en- promise is the direct cause of the
refusal of the two men to serve on the
committee. others who are acquainted
with the situation point out that as
Burgess is a brotherin-law of Sena-
tor Malarkey and usually stood with
the organization, there might be other
reasons why he refused the appoint
ment. If there are, they are not
| known here.
The first bill introduced in the leg
islature providing for an investigation
of the Cello falls power possibilities
placed the investigation in the hands
of the state engineer, where Governor
West declared it belonged. But this
did not satisfy the machine at all
Senator Day insisted that a special
committee should be appointed to dc
the work. A committee was sent to
confer with a like committee from
the state of Washington. Senator
Day was a member of that commit
tee. and the course aroused consider
able antagonism.

BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Cooperative Creamery Takes In
Over -Four Tons of Cream

On Saturday, May 81, the Sank
Lake Cooperative Creamery broke all
records for business done on a single
day. On the date mentioned lS2 cans
of cream were received, containing
91S7 pounds or little over four and a
half tons. In addition to this, 1900
pounds of butter were made and pack
ed in tubs, in addition to the usual
business of wrapping and selling but
ter, and selling buttermilk. All this
work was done by the regular butter
maker, MIR. Bull, and his assistant
Mrs. Barnard, except that the secre-
tary, c. ID. Wilcox, assisted n weigh
ing cream about two hours in the
forenoon.
This creamery is one of which the
farmers and the people of Sank Cen
ire are justly proud, for it puts into
circulation regularly large amount
of money. The cash value of the out
put for the past three weeks has been
a little over s325.OO a DAY. All this
money, except the freight on butter,
and the cost of the salt and few
sundry articles, is put into circulation
right here in Sank Centre, instead of
being sent elsewhere to be of benefit
to somebody else. This wealth is all
turned right back to those producing
it and hence is of great value to the
community in more ways than one.
