been successful by using the manu-

With each poison or method however
there are some who have met with no

dreds of rabbits with strychnined salt,
but will have no success by using the
poisoned grains. Another man in the
same neighborhood seems to have
had no results from the use of pois-

large number of the pests with
poisoned grains or manufactured
poisons.
Whenever a man has worked dill

Our Unseen COMPANIONS

Real men and women are not the
only people. Our minds are inhabited
as truly as any other country. Every
child has his invisible playmate, to
whom he talks more freely than to his
parents, ami with whom he goes upon
strange adventures-a tiny Columbus
with whom he embarks upon the wat
ers Of the bath tub to discover new
land, or a rowing DeSoto with whom
he slips through the garden gate, un-
attended and unafraid, always before
he is three years old, bent upon an
excursion into the wilderness which
lies across the brook in the field or
in the woods. If you are the father
or mother of this child you never can
understand that-how the timid baby
who was never before out of your
sight could have gone so far alone.
Why, when you found him, stained
with his travels, very tired, almost
nodding, he was still confident, pre-
occupied, and bent upon a farther pill
grimage into the unkonwn. 1t is be-
cause he was not alone. He was ac-
companied by another who he knows
better than he will ever know father
or mother-one of those companions
of his own fancy about whom he never
tells you or anyone else.
These people grow up like other peo'
pie. The little child has his familiar
and the young man his ''ideal,' always
a woman-not the one he marries, nor
even the one he might have married
but one whom he never saw in the
fesh-a yelled and inscrutable pres
ence who never forsakes him. And
when he grows old, and the wife he
did marry grows old, she remains
young, fairer than the lilies, sweetel
than honey dew upon the leaves il

BURIAL OF HAWAIIAN KING
Bones Were Carried BY Chiefs To q
Subterranean Cavern.

The discovery of rare relics of old
Hawaii in a burial cave in Waipio
Gulch, Hawaii, recalls to Hawaiians
advanced in years many Of the tradi-
tions concerning burials in ancient
times, says the Honolulu Commercial
Advertiser. "One story which was
handed down through a family is to
the effect that long before the mis-
sionaries arrived in the Hawaiian Is
lands two native farmers went near

look after their potatoes. Darkness

Suddenly a light appeared on the

until finally the summit and the slope
were a bobbing mass of lights. The
natives knew that a burial was about
to take place. If discovered, they, ac-
cording to law of the times, would be
killed. They threw themselves down
in the weeds and remained quiet. The
procession came close to them and
stopped.

account of Ahab's search for Elijah
and of the prophets meeting with
Obadiah. Verses and 6 suggest the
severity of the drought in the land.
Ahab's accusation, "Art thou he that
troubleth Israel" is replied to by Eli

26-29). The place of this dramatic
contest was Mt Carmel (see map)

was young girl apparently in the last
throes of death. Wailing and the
chanting Of meles was heard and then
the girl apparently died. Retainers
left the main body and went toward
the stream, which they damned up,
thereby diverting the stream. In the
old bed of the stream the retainers
worked until they uncovered the
mouth of a cave. The body of the
girl, together with many calabasnes,
tapas. etc, was carried in, the cave
was sealed up again, and the stream
was once more allowed to run it's usual
course.
AS to Kamehameha the Great, whose
remains, according to rumor may have
been discovered by Mr.. Forbes in Wal
pio Gulch, his body was taken by
Prince Hoapili aud his half-0rother,
the high chief Ho'olulu, and hidden
in submarine cave, the secret of the
location perishing at the death of
Ho'olulu. KameriLmeha's body lay in
state at Kamakahonu, Kaiiua, Kona,
Hawaii. His temporary grave there
was named Ahuena and the spot is
known at the present day as Kamaia-
honu-i-Ahuena.
Hoapili and Ho-olulu watched the
grave, waiting for a time when the
high chiefs, who were waving kahilis,
and the groups of natives would fall
asleep. When the time was opportune
the two high chiefs snatched up the
bundle of Kamehameha the Greats
bones, which had been woven into a
net and enveloped in an Ahuula cloak
(yellow feather cloak.
Prince Hoapili had given his brother
pistol, once the property Of John
Young, and commanded him to shoot
down any person whom they met. They
ran along the sea coast with their roy
al burden until half way between Ke-
haha and Waimen. There they met a
youth.
When Prince Hoapili saw him he
stood perfectly still so as not to at
tract the youths attention. Ho-olulu
came right on and met the man, but
fearing the report of the pistol if dis
charged woull alarm others he gave
the man blow with the butt end, in
tending to kill him. The chiefs re-
sumed their flight until they reached
a place on the shore where canoe
was drawn up. They sailed along the
coast, it is said, until they came to
a place which natives assert was Kam-
ehameha's last resting place. Ho-olulu
dived into the water and swan
through am entrance into a large cave
and there reposited the royal remains.
This must have been about May IL,
1919, for according to tradition the
oldtime Hawaiians removed human
flesh from the bones of their dead on
the third or fourth day after death.
According to the Kehaweaumoku
who resided at Laie, in 1870, the two
high chiefs did enter a canoe with the
remains of Kamehameha, for he
claims that it was his father whom
Hc-olulu knocked down on the beach
After the assaulted man realized what
was taking place he followed the
chiefs steaithily until he saw them gel
into the canoe at kekaha.

OREGON HORSEMEN
WOULD MAKE SHOW
A SOCIETY EVENT
Erection Of Livestock Judging
Pavilion Favored for
Night Shows

BY Unanimous resolution the Oregon
horse breeders association at a special
meeting, at the state fair grounds last
night, went on record as favOring the
erection of livestock Judging pavilion
at the fair grounds before another two
year period expires and pledged them
selves to urge upon the state fair board
the necessity for this, as the most eff
fectual means of fostering the live
stock industry of the state, and to use
all the influen at their command with
the members of the next Legislature to
secure an appropriation.
The motion was made by A. J. Sim
eral, of Macleay, following the sug.
gestion offered in an address by Prof.
f. l.. Potter, of the o. A. c., indorsed
by all speakers who followed him and
Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian,
not only indorsed the plan for per-
manent livestock pavilion at the fair
grounds but proposed, as an immediate
relief of the situation, the securing of
canvas for the erection of an immense
tent in which to hold night horse and
livestock shows at the fair next year
and at other places in the valley during
the year. The proposition was received
with aeclamation and Mr.. Simeral s
motion was adopted without a dissent
ing vote.
The horse breeders also went on rec
ord in favor of the wiping out of the
grade stallion entirely from the state
of Oregon, as the most serious menace
to the future of the horse business in
the state and the northwest, and also
the total elimination of the defective
stock in the pure-bred class of horses
which is responsible for the great num-
Der of inferior horses now on the mar
ket to the great detriment of the in
dustry and the farmer.
The morse breeders held an enthusias-
tie get-together meeting and numerous
prominent horse breeders made rousing
addresses of encouragement to the
horsemen present and the best of spir-
it prevailed throughout. Prof. /. ].
lddings, of Lewiston. Idaho, who is
Judging the draft class of horses at
the state fair, gave a very optimistic
address upon the outlook for the horse
business for the future, pronouncing
the Oregon show of horses, especially
IN the Percheron class, the best that
he had ever seen in the northwestern
superior to the show of Spokane and
North Yakima-and predicted success
to the industry if the stockmen would
only stand together and fight for pure.
