Harlan
Harlan is still on the map.

marian Is SLlll On the map.
Road work is wound up for the
year.
Farmers have most of their Fall
grain sown, potatoes dug, apples
picked. their Fall hauling done.
their hogs in the pen, and now the
next thing is to get them fat. We
have had an ideal Fail. The grass
is almost like Spring time. Stock
is lJoking fine for this time of
year.
The goats and sheep are getting
d little rest the last few days since
the people have a little time to
hunt. Asa Brown killed two wild
cats, three coons and bear
Clines, Youngs and Grants have
killed three wild cats, two coyotes
and crippled another one. They
didn't get the crippled one as the
dogs lost it in the river-and il
wasn't forked-toed coyote either
it was the genuine stuff. Ben
Young will vouch for this for the
coyotes have killed between seventy
five and hundred kids for him.
Mr.. Lawndon has also lost all of
this years crop of kinds. We ex.
pect to clean the varmints out now
if our dogs hold out. We have
fifteen old dogs and twelve pups,
not counting what comes in from
Little Elk.
MIR. Darting, Sr., had the misfor-
tune to get his shoulder broken by
falling from horse. He was TAX
en- to P. H. Martins and DR.. Smith
was called from Philomath. He
arrived at Harlan in about four
hours and set the shoulder, and he
must have done a good job for the
gentleman walked home, about two
miles, the next day. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hearnden Of Fossil, brother in law
and sister Of B. F. Grant, who lived
on Big Elk thirty years ago, have
been visiting here this week. They
say that the country has improved
so much and 50 many changes
taken place that they hardly recog-
nize the place. Mr.. Hearnden is
suffering from a cancer on his lip
and came to Portland for treat
ment, and concluded, as he was
SO near, that they would make
visit back to their old home and
relatives.
Our rustling storekeeper is MAX
ing his regular trips with his
freight team. 1t is surprising how
much freight comes to Harlan COM
pared with forty years ago. The
mailcarrier goes and comes as re-
gular as clock work. He is very
patient and seldom says anything
about bad roads. All right, Ed,
they will be better some time.

Mr.. Whitten was AZ years. 8 months
and "a days old. He is survived
by his father and mother, who live

Bryon. The governor had given
orders that all d putty sheriffs going

The Ladies' Civic Improvement
Club gave clam bake in the BAN
quet room of the Oddfellow Hall
November 18th. The clans. sal
mon. crabs and sweet potatoes
were baked to the Queens taste"
This with fine sauce and delicious
cup of coffee was all that could be
desired. The tables were decorated
with seaweed and shells. About
one hundred persons partook of the
bake and the receipts were $40,
which amount will be used to i'm
prove ard beautify the city. If
you want anything in a social way
to 90 in Newport just get the
ladies to take hold of it.

The Parcel Post
And The Farmer

After Jan. /, parcel post
packages weighing so pounds
can be carried within the first
two zones. The change is made
on the theory that it will help
the farmers and merchants to
make q much wider use of the
new service.
1t has certainly seemed stran-
ge that more farmers have not
made an effort to use the par
Gel post. Next summer, when
so pounds can be carried, it
would seem certain that mar
ket gardeners could get higher
prices, and sell to the consumer
tor less than retail prices.
All that it needs is a little
personal soliciting or newspaper
advertising, to get the business
What is the matter with the
farmers boy that he does not
build up q trade for the neces-
saries Of life for which in-town
people are now paying high
prices? There must be a great
many people who would order
produce direct from the farm

could they but know where to
send for it.

Christmas Shopping

At no time in the year does
the merchant have so much
capital locked up in his stock
as just before the holidays.
Probably If the truth was
known the great majority have
to borrow to tide over this per-
iod.
Under modern systems Of eff.
ficiency, the cost Of advertis-
ing is reckoned as q necessary
part of the expense Of selling
goods. The merchant no more
thinks Of stopping it than he
does Of turning off his sales
people.
Hence at Christmas, the
stock being bigger than ever,
it is felt that more than ever
can and must be spent in ad.
vertising, without exceeding
the normal proportion for tbil
form Of sales expense. Hence
it is that all the newspapers
are crowded with Christmas
sale notices.
No class Of goods is so tran.
sient and tickle as holiday ma.
terial. II stock is carried ovel
until another December, style
changes may make q big sacri.
flee necessary.
