Carriers to Report Forest Fires

The official Postal Guide for MAY
calls the attention of postmasters and
rural carries to an order of the Post
Office Department that the carriers
report to the proper authorizes all for
est fires detected along their routes.
This order was issued at the, request of
the secretary Of agriculture.
For several years in some sections
of the country sort of informal un-
derstanding has existed between ma
tional forest rangers and mail carriers
with the idea of securing increased fire
protection. The marked effectiveness
of this cooperation was a strong argu-
ment in favor of its extension and ofii-
cal sanction. and was in part RESPONSE
bled for the request of the secretary of
agriculture which resulted in the order
by the Post Office Department.
The plan is for the carrier to report
a fire to the nearest forest officer on
his route, or, if no officer lives on the
route, to have him notified by some re-
sponsible citizen. State and national
foresters are supplied with post road
maps and with postal guides containing
addresses of the different postmasters.
The postmasters in turn are supplied
10y the foresters with the names, ad-
dresses and telephone call numbers of
forest officers residing on or near the
carriers routes.

West African Ssvages Have q Queer
Way Of lnsusuratino . King.
In "The Fetish Folk of West Africa"
Mr.. Robert II Milllgan describes the
grotesque ceremony of inaugurating
native king
The king was chosen from among the
people by the elders, and he was select
ed for his wisdom. The ceremonies OF
his enthronement were such that he re
quired not only wisdom, but also cour
age, physical strength and superb dl
gestion. The mans first intimation
that he had been chosen by the elders
was an onrush of the entire tribe-not
to do him honor, but to abuse and In.
suit him In every possible way.
They would hurl opprobrious epithets
at him, curse him, spit upon him, pelt
him with mud and beat him, for, they
said, from this time on he could do all
these things to them, and they would
be powerless to retaliate. II was their
last chance!
They also reminded him of all his
failings In graphic and minute particu-
lars II the king survived this treat.
ment he was then taken to the former
kings house, where be was solemnly
Invested with the insignia Of the king
ly office in the shape of silk hat No
one except the king was permitted to
wear silk hat
Following the Inauguration ceremony
the people came and bowed before the
new king In humble submission, while
they praised him as enthusiastically as
they had before reviled him. Then he
was fed and feted for week; daring
which time he was not permitted to
leave his house, but had to receive
guests from all parts of his dominion
and eat with them all. These ceremu

many others, has passed away under

The GERMAN SOFA.
1, 10 the Seat Of Honor For the Visitor
With the Biggest Title.

The stranger in Germany is always
impressed by the Importance OF Tue
sofa in marking social distinctions In
deed among Germans Of the more
comfortable class. those who live from
generation 10 generation In the same
house, every piece Of furniture has us
own history and makes its own assoefa-
tlons. but Il is always the sofa that is
given the prominent place In a room.
Before It usually stands a round or
oval table.
Should there be callers at the average
German house there ensues a certain
dignified commotiOn. Should caller, a
woman Of lower social standing than
the mistress Of the house, arrive she
must take a chair, while the hostess
SITS alone on the sofa. Should the Wis
itor be OF higher degree, however, the
matter will be otherwise decided.
This method Of distinction reaches its
highest point when there is tea party
or kaffeeklatsch coffee gossip, for
then the oldest woman with the big
gest title must SIT on the sofa, and the
next in rank occupies the place nearest
her.
As the proudest usually arrives lat
est, a general stir is likely to take
place, for II the Frau Doktorin, the
wife OF physician or scholar, Is sit
ting on the sofa she must vacate her
position should a Frau Professorin ap-
pear. The Frau Majorin, or wife OF
major. may be thoroughly enjoying the
seat Of honor. but she must yield 1t
without hesitation when the Frau Gen
eralin comes in. The whole company
rise In such an event to do honor to the
distinguished guest, and there must
necessarily follow a general readJust-
ment OF places.
Neither unmarried men nor very
young women can expect to enjoy the
privilege OF sitting on German sofa.
The piece Of furniture that stands
next in honor TO the sofa is the easy
cnalf, WHICH Is soLneulheS Cuheu eVi
genstuhl, or chair Of cares, Should
German sit down to worry he must
have comfortable seat, that so i'm
portant a mood may be endured with
dignity. A common chair would not
serve his purpose in the least But the
sorgenstuhl is, so TO speak, for domes-
tic and personal use only, The sofa
Is the part Of the entire social frame
work never to be carelessly regarded.

COMMODORE DEAN
OLDEST FERRYMAN

Commodore o. c. Dean. who has
been q resident Of the community Tor
the last II years. while he will not
allow one to call him q pioneer OF the
district, is the Oldest riyerman al HOOD
River. For eleven years the Commo-
dore has been operating his ferry sys-
tenn between this city and White Sal
mon. However, be has since trans
ferred an interest in the system TO his
adopted son, Ollie S. Sheplsr.
Commodore Dean is a native Of Ohio,
the city of Cincinnati. He came 10
Oregon City from Iowa. lie has been
working on river boats since he was a
small boy and has become a master
with small river craft.
One of the COmmodore's hrst
thoughts is for his passengers safety
and comfort, and one can always rest
assured of the best accommodations
possible, when travelling across the
river with him.
The "Dean" of local ferrymen, not
only in name but in fact, is one OF
Hood Rivers most enthuslastlc boost
ers. No traveller that crosses the river
with him ever fails to carry Daek
memory Of his picturesque figure as he
twirls the wheel of his launch and
laughingly tells some story of local ex-
peiience and he always thinks: Il
would like to live in a land where there
are lots of men like the Commodore.)
Few men have ever seen the Commo-
dore angry, and no man could ever be
angry with the Commodore; for he
would soon be disarmed with one Of
those full, characteristic smiles.
Commodore Dean is owner Of the
Ollie S., a large power launch that is
now engaged in fishing for Halibut off
the Newport coast. If the fish con-
tinue to be found in as large numbers
as the Commodore's associates have
recently been taking, he bids fair to
become wealthy from this source OF in

FRIDAY ON UNIVER-
SITY AMALGAMATION

Hood River, Ore, June A.. Ito the
Editor. There has been so much SAID
lately about the referendum on the
Sl75. 600 appropriation for new build
ings for the State University that is
logically wrong, that ! wish TO state
the situation from the point of view Of
those who are opposed to the appropri-
alton.
II it is economy 10 have the Agrieul-
tural College separate from the Uni
versity, then let US go step further
and separate the domestic science
course from these two institutions and
have a school Of dOmetsic science sup
ported by the state at Roseburg. Let
Us separate the course in electrical en-
gineering and establish a school OF
electrical engineering at Hood River,
and go deal out all the separate courses
around the state to the hungry towns
for them to fight and quarrel over at
each session of the legislature.
This would start a new growth OF
business in each one Of these towns,
and would give them something real TO
lobby for at each session Of the legis-
lature. II would afford fine positions
for more professors, and quite few
would be promoted to presidencies at
higher salaries. Think of the real es-
tate deals that might be made in con
sequence of all this. And what a nice
thing for each of these towns to have
we'll designed buildings in them sup.
ported from the state treasury. OF
course. we all know that only two and
one-half per cent of our school children
ever get into our schools Of higher edu-
cation and we know also that 92 35-lOO
never get into the high school, but that
makes no difference, they can scratch
for themselves. What we want is
these new buildings built by the states
money, and it is none of our concern
how the state gets this money. That
is a matter for the taxpayers to solve.
We will create a new maxim, ID.
vided we stand, united we fall, and
separation is better than concentra-
tion," "union never, universities for
ALL" F. =. Friday.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS


W. f. Hines, a fancier of fine fox
hounds and who has number of
thoroughbred dogs. while coming from
Moser recently had the pleasure of
watching his pack chase a big coyote
out of copse on the road east of the
summit. The animals were giving the
beast such a race as he had never be-
fore participated in, when Mr.. Hines,
who was in hurry to reach Hood
River, shot the coyote.
Fishing isn't luck, it is a science, "
says A. W. Bishop, who has caught
more large chinooks and steelheads
during the past spring months than
any other two men in Hood River
county. When something happens
to a man through luck it is unexpected,
and no one ever went fishing without
expecting to catch few fish, at least
''The man that catches thesbig fish
is the fellow that knows just where to
drop his hook and just ihow to let it
float off down the stream, and when
he gets him, he knows just how TO reel
him in and allow him to play until he
is tired. You can't make me believe
there is any luck in fishing" And Mr..
Bishop, judging from the numbers he
has caught, is an authority on fishing.
William Baker, Ivan Dakin, Cecil
Holman and Edgar Wright spent the
first of the week on the'White Salmon
river fishing They caught a fine lot
of fish on the Washington stream.
J. M. Culbertson tells of a canary
bird that is truly rara avis. The lit |
tie songster recently saw Japanese
houseboy for the first time. 1t imme-
diately tumbled over in dead faint. /
The bird was brought from Texas to .
the northwest. While its owners lived
there its health was kept in a constant
y unassuring state because of the
many negroes passing by the house.
Every time it saw an Ethiopian, the
little bird would faint away.

BASE BALL

The game Sunday was good, slow
and sure. The wind whistlng down
from Mount Defiance kept the crowd
gingered up and they managed to
keep from doing until the first of the
eighth inning, when The Dalles heavy
hitters found themselves and Stockton
lost himself for the moment. The
game had stood since the early part of
the contest five to one in favor of the
locals. But four runs, started by
Grandfather" Castner for the Elks,
tied the score, and Hood River had to
work hard to make the score in the
ninth. Mclnnes, the syouthful'pitcher
for the Elks, as heswarmed up, tossed
over quality that became harder and
harder for the locals to find, although
they knocked him at lively pace in
the earlier game. The final score was
6 to in Hood Rivers favor.
The Elks players were: Mclnerney,
Melnnes. littin and Castner, Knight,
Murray, Castner and Polhemus, Bolton
and Glasscock.

Nothing of a similar kind has ere

vehicle, if one may be permitted to
call it a vehicle, than the Lambert
orchard tractor, which is being oper-

the local representatives of the manu-
featuring company. The little three
wheeled concern travels with great
speed on the highways and pulls very
heavy loads. 1t is so low that it can
be run beneath the branches of an ap-
pie tree, and will undoubtedly become
popular with orchardists is it becomes
better known and more widely used.

was deposited within the immense
porphyry dyke that extcndedhround
the vast has, of Gothic mouutain.
The gradual wearing away of these
gold bearing porphyry rocks forming
a portion of these mountains, has
liberated the gold contents which
by gravity has been taken into the
gulch and there has been found and
washed out of the gravel by the
placer miners,
The Washington gvlch gold is
sometimes found in very course mug
gets but the most of it has been
smaller than grains Of wheat and
some 80 small that it will float on
the water surface when being washed
in sluiced boxs. This gold is alloy
ed with silver to Il certain per cent
and from this fact it is much winter
than pure gold aud consequently
Washington gulch gold is only worth
about twelve dollars per ounce while
pure gold is sold for twenty dollars
1t is Il simple matter to determine
the percentage of silver in gold mug
gets, The method used is to first
weigh the nugget and then boil i'll
strong nitric acid which eats out the
silver, after which the remaining
gold is washed, annealed and weigh
ed up as puregold. The differcnceo OF
the first and last weight represents
the percentage of silver in the
nugget.
