The Business of Life.

Life is business we are all apt to
mismanage, either living recklessly
from day to day or suffering ourselves
to be guided out of our moments by the
inanities of custom. We should de-
spise man who gave as little activity
and forethought to the conduct of any
other business. But in this, which is
the one thing of all others, since 1t con-
tains them all, we cannot see the forest
for the trees. One brief impression OBJ
literates another There is something
Supplying in the recurrence of unim-
portant things, and it is only on rare
provocations that we can rise to take
an outlook beyond daily concerns and
comprehend the narrow limits and
great possibilities of our existence

Wrapping the
Gifts

Are you among the fortu-
nate number who have COM
pleted their Christmas pur-
chases and have them all
neatly and daintily wrap
ped and labeled and placed
i'll a large box or a drawer to
await the proper moment
when they are to be started
on their way by mail, mes
senger or, perchance, person
al delivery? If you are not.
what are you doing with the
little gift which you pur-
chase or complete each day
and add to the growing pile?
Are you carefully wrapping
each one after inclOSing a
pretty Christmas greeting
card with soft white or gay
" decorated Christmas pa
per? One cannot help but
feel that those little remem-
brances which are received,
all thoughtfully and artist
cally wrapped with a bit OF
holly or poinsettia paper and
bound with red, green, white
or holly ribbon and choicely
labeled and sealed with the
numerous attractive little
stickers which come for this
purpose, mean more in their
detail of taste and care than
all the handsome and Won
derful gifts which time and
money can produce without
these final touches. Then
make the offering as SIM
pie and inexpensive as you
choose, but If you would con-
vey to your friend an atmos-
phere of thought and remem-
brance take a little time each
day to complete the arrange
ment for each friend before
laying it aside with the other
gifts. Not only will the prep
aration of the gifts take on
additional interest to you,
but it will make the last
days of hustle and excite
ment less arduous, and then,
too, you will not be piling
into the postofice or the ex-
press Office all your various
bundles at one time, but will
be prepared to start many
of them on their way in adj
vance Of the last rush and
thus avoid the often inevita-
BILE delay which means belat-
ed greetings and, worse than
all, packages which give the
appearance of hasty arrange
ment and lack Of thought.

Krushar was reading in his cabin when he heard the dogs fighting with something outside the door. Suddenly they chased the great otter into the cabin and Pandcmonium roigned for a time.

RUSSIAN GAINS BIG

LONDON, July 7.-OAfcial dispatches from BerIln Vienna, Petograd and other capitals confirm the reports of the Russian conquests of not only all of Bukowna but also of the southern half of east Gaica south ot the ne connecting Stanislaw and TamopoL Perograd announces today the cutting of the main line ot comilucauon tween Lemberg and Budapesth by the capture o1 NN" czn which is half way between Delayn and horOSne|o If is within four miles of the crest of the Carpatna" mountains, the boundary line between Gacia and Hun gary. While this gain is tremendous it is admitted Oy military experts that too much must not be hoped from if a the Russians would have to move four hundred neS
 further before reaching the place occupied by them oelofe their defeat by the Teutons last year It IS also poe0 out that the further they now advance on the south the more will they expose their Hanks to the Germans Ill the North Tn the earlier Russian advance into Austrian ter
 ory the Russians had possession of Poland and so pro- tected the flank of their southern advance The che1 value of the present drive is that is sure to have very great effect on the attitude of ROumania.

BEAR CAME AND ATE
 OUT OF MAYS HAND
Most Extraordinary Occurrence Takes
 Place Over at Virgin Creek.

The most remarkable bear story on record is a true one and it is the real truth about an actual occurrence which took place at Virgin creek last saturday week when a bear came out of the woods where seven men were eating lunch and actually ate a Godghnut out of the hand of one of seward Oy D. l.. LoWeu wno went 1o the scene on the day after the hap peninug to get a photograph of Mr. Bruin. On the day named the seven men, including we'll known people like |. c. Starkey, c. F. StahL J. D. Meacham and Al Muir, were finishing their lunch sitting on the ground when they saw the bear, good sized two year old, come out of the woods and watch them. At last one of the men threw bit of bread towards the animal and he came up and ate it after watching them carefully. Then more bits of food were thrown closer and closer to themselves and the bear approached to eat each piece. Fin ally he came to log quite close to them and placed his fore paws on h. Starkey took courage and held out a doughnut and the bear actually bit it out of his hand and, more remarkable still, evidenced every desire not to touch the mans fingers for fear of hurting him. Stahl then held out recklessly his empty hand but the bear saw there was nothing in it and made no attempt to bite. Stahl then touched bruin on the nose but the animal showed little anger at this Later the men decided to get camera to take a photograph but as they moved he took fright and ran into the woods. Mir. Colwell was not forum. ate enough to see the bear next day
 to take a photograph.

WRITES OF NAVAL
 BASES IN THE WEST
By JOHN BARTRAM KELLEY

(Written for the United Prcss)
 PORTLAND, Ore, July 1.-From Montana to the Pacific Ocean there has arisen during recent months a de- mand persistent and serious, that the mouth of the greatest river on the Pacific Coast of America, the entrance to the 25O,OOO square miles of Ameri- can territory known as the Columbia Basin and the Inland Empire, receive governmental recognition by the es- tnb nbFnFsoeia5&oyc,af .a,.npvol- hoao of cations to protect this investment.
 The acorn from which this mighty oak of sentiment has grown is known as the Columbia Naval Committee.
 In January F. c. Harley and Wal lace R. Stuble started this movement in Astoria.
 The necessity for the naval base was an easy matter to prove. The Pacific Coast is so helpless at this moment that our military experts say that in case of an invasion the first  stand American troops could make would be in the Bear River Valley in Utah. That means the evacuation of the Pacific Northwest.
 Our naval base at Bremerton is en- tircly unprotected from a nakd or rear attack so long as there is no adequate defense at the mouth of the Columbia. Furthermore, it is located l@2 miles from the ocean and its entrance is dominated by territory of the greatest sea power in the world.
 Strategically, the mouth of the Columbia is the key to the Northwest. From it to Alaska is open American roadstcad and the shortest route.
 It is the nearest point to Yokohama. It is the entrance to the wheat belt, to three-fourths of our trans-continentaI lines, to a 500 mile nayigable water. way and to the only water grade route to the Northwest.
 These are arguments which the residents of.the basin considered be. fore making their demands.
 Commercial bodies of Eugene Salem, Portland and Astoria have en dorsed the movement. In March the city of Spokane, uniting with tho naval base committee, held prepar edness convention in which five states were represented. This convention was held at the suggestion of P. N Bernard of Kalispell, Mont.
 Six hundred Portland business mel have sent a long omnibus telegram t Washington in six sections, urging tn necessity of the naval base. Tn present status of the campaign i r considered favorable.
 Secretary Daniels is considerin ? the naval report of 1900 in cOnnectio ? with the army report of 1916,

ASHES OF R. E. NIXON
 GIVEN TO ALASKA WATERS

JUNEAU, June 5O.-The ashes of the late R. F. Nixon, pioneer Alaskan and for many years a Seattle hotel proprietor, were cast upon the waters of Alaska by Bernard J. McGee, just after the Alameda crossed the bound av line between British Columbia and Aaska. The ship stopped, lowered her flag half mast and impressive services were said. The services were conducted by the Right Rev. P. T. Rowe Bishop of Alaska, and with barred heads all the passengers and many of the crew witnessed the cere- mony.
 As the ashes were scattered over the water, flowers were thrown with them, and all that was mortal of the well known Alaskan were given to the clements.
 Before his death a few months ago Mr. Nixon asked Mir. McGee to have ! his body cremated and his ashes oas' upon Alaskan waters, and the cere mony on the Alameda was in cOmpli ance with the dying request.-Empir'
