THE WOLF AND THE SHEPHERD
An Up-to-date Fahle.


A wolf finding that the sheep
were so afraid of him that he could
not get near to them. disguised him
self in the dress of a shepherd, which
he hired from customer. and, thus
attired. approached the flock.
AS he came near he found the
shepherd fast asleep. As the sheep
did not run away he resolved to imi-
tate the voice of the shepherd. In
trying to do so he howled so viol-
emily that the shepherd awoke.
The shepherd was very angry, be-
cause he had been out late the night
before and needed sleep, so he fell
upon the wolf and smote him sore
ly.
MORAL-When you see a chance
to get square meal don't get hilar-
ious and wake the entire neighbor-
hood.

THE COUNTY BONDING
LAW.

T N view of the fact a road
program may be submit
ted here under which the
county bonding act will be
brought into use it is timely to
know the exact provisions of
the law. The law was enacted
by the 1913 legislature and its
main provisions are as follows !:
A county bond issue must be
limited to two per cent of the
assessed valuation in the coun-
ty at the time the bonds are is
sued. In Umatilla county at
present the assessment is slight
ly over $49,000,000. Hence
the limit to which this county
may bond for road work is in
round figures S980,000.
The bonds may not draw a
higher rate of interest than six
per cent and bonds may be sold
by the county court as the
money is needed. If a bond is
sue is voted by the people it is
not necessary to sell the entire
issue at once and thus have
money on hand that may not
be Immediately needed.
Beginning. with the fourth
year after the bonds are sold
the county court shall proceed
to set aside for a sinking fund
a sufficient sum of money each
year to retire the bonds when
they mature.
The money with which to
pay the interest on the bonds
and to provide the sinking fund
is raised by a general tax upon
all the taxable property within
the county. This includes
towns that are ordinarily ex-
empt from payment of road
taxes.
If this county should be
bonded to the limit for road
purposes the annual interest
charge at six per cent would
be S58,800 a year to raise
which would require a tax of
one and one-fourth mills. The
tax necessary to provide the
sinking fund would be depend
ent upon the length of time the
bonds were to run and upon
the sum that could be earned
in interest by the sinking fund
money.
The people may submit the
bonding proposition to the vot-
ers under the initiative and if
a requisite petition is presented
to the county court the court
must order a special election
TO be held in not less than 20
nor more than 40 days. To Sc
cure a special election it is ne
cessary to submit a petition
signed by not less than one
fourth the number of votes cast
for any person for judge of the
supreme court at the preceding
election.
Through a petition signed by
one-tenth of the number OF
votes cast for a supreme judge
the county court may be in
structed to submit a bonding
proposition at the next general
election. The county court has
power at any time to submit a
bonding proposition to the peo-

NETIC WAVES" for Treatment of the BODY

The electric current, as employed
heretofore, in medical work, has been
OF very high voltage and low amper-
age, the human body being used as a
conductor. while the Bachelet idea
is to use magnetic lines of force to
set up, by induction, a powerful cir
rent of low voltage and high amper-
age, which uses the human organism
as an accumulation.
1t Is claimed that in this form the
application of electricity produces
neither shock nor unpleasant sensa-
ton, the magnetic lines OF force pass
ing, through the body with an even.
undulating motion. asitating all cells
equally. and reaching directly any
affected organ, no matter how deeply
seated.
1t is contended that while electric
fly simply passes over conductor,
whether it BIO wire or body, the mag
netic waves are absorbed and irars-
formed into vital energy. 1t is point
ed out that If disease is accompanied
by or caused by lowered vitality,
an increase in vital force gives
greater power of resistance. This
action and the "normalizing" infiu-
ence of these magnetic waves upon
chemical reactions, circulation and
all physico-chemical functions OF the
body, are said to give this instru-
ment a wide range OF therapeutic
usefulness. Bachelet himself at one
time lived in Brooklyn, N. u, where
the laboratories are now situated
He was regarded as dreamer and
eccentric. ard the furore his inven-
lions occasioned in Europe was a
matter of some establishment to his
old neighbors.
