BIendina ths Odors.

It has been proved that two odors which do not seem to have anything in common. that of putrefied cheese and that of pineapple. are so closely allied from the chemical standpoint that 1t takes but few minutes to transform an intense stench Into sweet fragrance. This curious experi- ment is easily made and requires but small amount of three chemicals --valerianic acid. sulphuric acid and amylic alcohol Care must be taken not to spill over the fingers or dress any drop of the first two named liq- uids Sulphuric acid is exceedingly cauRtic. and the stench of valerianic acid. besides being unendurable, iB very difficult to get rid of.-London Family Herald.

The Indianant MandriII.

The blue faced mandrill which, or
 who, has ended an unhappy life in his solitary cage at the zoo was a victim to the human sense of humor. He had 6 long, broad. light blue nose with pink stripe down the middle. The nose always caused laugh. And when, in acute irritation, he turned his back upon the inevitable guffaw the bright blue thighs, edged with rose color, raised a new shout of delight. He knew perfectly well that the laugh was the laugh of derislon, the third and lowest of the forms of human fun. He VisibIy hated his visitors. Nature had 80 colored him to enchant the eyes Of a mate, but men have other eyes than hers Swift In his days of failure and despair might have looked with the look of the indignant man. drilL-London Chronicle.

COMMERCIAL CLUB PRESIDENT URGES A
GENERAL ROAD STRAW|NC DAY FOR COUNTY

The soil has been changed so it does
not so readily reduce to dust.
1t is out of the question for the
County Court to have the work done
as it should be done, but if everyone
would help little, there would be an
enormous saving upon horses, wa
gons, and men, and the future ex-
pense OF repairing roads would be
made lighter. If this work could be
done before the roads cut up so as to
be almost all chuckholes, it would be
a fine thing. If every farmer who is
now hauling wheat would do as some
of them do, rake up the straw around
their wagons in the morning before
leaving town and throw it into some
bad place on the road, that would
have a tendency to keep the bad plac-
es from getting worse.
If you are in favor of a straw day,
call up the County Judge and tell him
so. You are busy, and all your
neighbors are busy, but you will save
time by putting in day or two at
this work. What say you?
S. E. NOTSON.

Editor, Gazette Times: At a re-
cent meeting of the Heppner Com
mercial Club, held Oct. 8, the under
signed was requested to write brief
appeal to the people interested to
make an effort to cover the roads with
straw in order to keep the roads from
being cut into deep ruts and chuck
holes.
If sort of straw-day could be de-
signated by the County Court for a
bout two days before the end of the
present month and everybody would
assist, the roads could be strawed.
This plan was used for many years in
the Walla Walla country. Every
ody turned out the farmers, the bust
ness men, and even the ladies'. The
ladies served lunches for the men.
The straw was usually donated so
there was no expense except the haul
ing and placing. The roads in the vi
cinity Of Walla Walla to this day
show the good effects of this work.

OPPOSED To SIN.
GLE TAX MEASURE
G. Il. Spence, Master O. State Grange,
Calls 1t COnfiscat:3n.

A few days ago Portland paper
published an interview of C. E..
Spence, Master of State Grange, in
which he was quoted as being unal-
terably opposed to the Full Rental
Value Land Tax & Homemakers'
Loan Amendment (single taxi, which
is to be submitted to the Oregon vo-
ters on next election day, November
7th. He was quoted as saying that
this bill provides for the confiscation
of private ownership in land, and, as
most farmers property consists prin-
cipally of land, naturally they are op-
posed to it.
The Tax Liberator for October con-
tains an excellent article on the sub
ject by Mr.. Spence. 1t is strong and
unanswerable argument against the
measure. He closes his article by say
ing: 81 believe that the Full Rental
Value Land Tax will take the land
and with it will 60 the improvements,
and with the improvements will go
the toll, the savings, and capital of
thousands Of honest, industrious peo-
pie who are living on and using the
land, and who are not monopolizing
nor speculating in it."
"If am correct in my conclusions,
this measure will injure the home
owner and home builder more than it
will the speculator and l shall vote
307 X No."

Bazaar and Fancy Fair.

A great collection of useful as
well as fancy articles will be dis
played at the Bazaar and Fancy Fair
which will be held in the Masonic
building on November 16, II and IS.
The apron booth will contain aprons
of all kinds and descriptions; large
aprons, small aprons, useful aprons,
ornamental aprons. In the towel
booth will be found everything to
please even the taste of the most
fastidious in toweling. The fancy
work booth will have every variety
of fancy work, in the baby booth
work articles for baby wear, dolls,
and toys may be purchased. In the
Irish booth, articles of Irish make
and manufacture will be displayed
Irish eorchet, Irish lace, Irish pipes
and postcards, books dealing with
Ireland's history, tales of love and
sorrow. In the candy booth, fresh
pleasant tasting home made candy
Will 81 sarted with in exchange for
1 legal tender. The country store
will have a vast conglomeration of
articles to sell. You will find in it
apples, potatoes, fat sheep, second
hand books, used masizines and many
other articles to numerous to men
ton. The fish pond will provide a.
musement for many others than the
diciples of Isaac Walton, and you
stand a chance of catching sucker
on your line as salmon. The parcel
post will have a sale at a uniform
rate, parcels from all parts of the U.
S., and perhaps the colonies, and if
the war was not raging in Europe
doubtless there would be many par
GELS from across the water. But in
any case there will be many and
various articles sold in the parcel
post. A booth where religious artic-
les such as prayer books, rosaries,
etc, may be had, is another fea-
ture of the fair. The basement of
the Masonic building will be put into
use for amusement features for the
men, and as Thanksgiving will be
close on hand, many will be able to
pick up material for a Thanksgiving
dinner. Sandwiches and coffeee will
also be served in the basement. The
fair will be held three days, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday November,
Is, II and IS.

Tax Limitation Means Lower Taxes.

Tax Limitation Means Lower Taxes.
If there has been doubt in the mind
of any voter about the wisdom of the
Tax-Limitation amendment, it should
have been removed by the events of
the past few days.
The budget of proposed expendi-
lures for next year have been made
up by the State and by the City Of
Portland. The budgets call for ex-
penditures way in excess of anything
which has been attempted before.
Every State Institution has asked for
big increase in appropriations, ex-
cept one. The one institution which
does not ask for an increase is the
East Oregon Insane Asylum, located
at Pendleton. Every other institu-
ton asks for big increases. Do our
public officials feel that the tax-pay-
ers can afford to pay unlimited taxesg
What is to become of the state If
this annual increase does not stop?
How can anyone afford to pay the tax
bills. 1t is an outrage to ask the
taxpayers for big increases in ap-
preparations when it is so hard to
get money. Taxes should be decreas-
ing these times, not increasing.
But there is one big consolation for
the taxpayer. 1t is unanimously ag-
reed that tax-limitation will carry by
an overwhelming majority. Every
one admits it, This simply means
that regardless of how high the state
institutions or the legislature try to
increase our taxes they will fail.
There is a highwater mark above
which they can not go. They can
not make our taxes for next year
more than six per cent over this
years taxes. The same is true of
the city of Portland. If the Tax-Li-
initiation Amendment carries, and it
surely will carry, then the commits
sioners of the city of Portland will
have to reduce their proposed ex-
penditures 10 per cent.
Tax Limitation is a measure which
has been initiated by the State Tax
payers League for the protection of
the Taxpayers. 1t will carry by
big majority.

Marie Corelli's Masterpiece AT Star
Theatre Next Week.

The Richardson G. Talbert Com
pany of Chicago will present Marie
Corelli's, masterpiece, "Thelma" at
the Opera house in this city next
Tuesday evening Their first per-
formance will be given on Monday
night when they will present ken
tucky Sue Richardson G. Talbert
and their company of nine people are
real live, walking, talking actors.
In "Thelma" the players in their or
der of appearance are:
Sir Philip Errington- Harlin Talbert
Thelma Guldmar- Halle Mitchell
Segurd- Frank T. Rice
George Lorrimer- Berry
Olaf Guldmar w. Lowe
Lovisa- Nan Grimes
Lord Francis Lenox Howard B. Lam
bert
Clara Winsleigh Emily Driscoll
Valdemer Willard Prather
"Thelma" Is a Norwegian tale,
with dash of the weird mysticism
of the old Vikings, the Gods of Odin
and Thor.
Sir Philip Errington arrives in his
yacht near Thelma's home in the Al
ten Fjord. He is accompanied by
George Lorimer. On meeting Thel-
ma he falls in love with her and he
soon returns to England with her as
his wife.
Clara Winsleigh becomes jealous of
Thelma and with the assistance of
Sir Francis Lennox and letter that
Errington has whitten to his private
secretary's wife, Violet We're, at the
Brilliant Theatre, begging her to re-
turn to her husband, she makes Thel-
ma believe he cares for her no long
er, so Thelma returns broken heart
ed to her former home in Norway.
When Errington learns of Thelma' s
departure he follows her to Norway
and they are soon reconciled.
A powerful side story embraces the
characters Of Thelma's father, Olaf
Guldmar, a descendant of the Viking
Norseman, and Segund, the cripple
who is desperately in love with Thel-
ma. Louisa, witch, is madly in love
with Olaf Gulmar and finally stabs
him, then herself, and he goes aboard
his viking boat and drifts out into the
Alien Fjord amid the crimson shroud
of fame. ~
