Items of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors Hereabouts

We may get tired of these spring
winds which Tim Farney says elbows
the milk just out of the cows" But
when we see what other localities
have we are reminded anew that we
are living in the garden spot of the
Northwest The hills all around US
are still frozen and the wheat farmers
are impatiently waiting a time to seed.
On the Sound and in the Willamette
Valley farmers are being held up by
mud. In Spokane they are still sleigh
ing and around Baker and LeGrande
everything is frozen up tight. Here,
we are we'll up with our spring work,
our pastures are greening up, our
chickens are at the height of their
spring laying, our blowing is done and
our early garden stuff is all in. We are
planting our early potatoes where all
around us they have not opened up
their potato pits yet. In fact we are
a full month ahead of the rest of the
Northwest, and we are well satisfied.

we don't say that just because Bob

live up that way, but we mean real
chickens White Leghorns, Plymouth

flock of Partridge Rocks. s. A. Purdy
and sons have purchased eight acres
Of land near the depot and are going
to raise chickens. F. E. Masters is
nursing along an incubator, day and

devote his time to chickens instead Of
baling hay. Billy certainly has a
novel idea. He has burrowed hole
out of his hay stack and has set his
incubator in there.

able to teach Old Dan (nee Lands

recently hit upon the plan Of purchas-

double, so he bought a fine single
driver from Mr.. Johnson. As he drove
home he was half tickled to death
with the speed his new purchase devel-

when he came to hook up the two

bring her home a thing. s.@

NEW YORK. June /. - Unaware
that the time had been extended to
June g., several hundred Germans
formed in line in the federal building
early today anxious to make applica-
ton for permission to live or travel

line until their cases could be heard
by Marshal Mccarthy and his assist
ants Investigation of the applica-
tons already filed began today.
In Hoboken, N. J., where third of
the population of $4,000 is German,

besieged all day yesterday by appli-
cants for permits. 1t was estimated
that 1900 applications were made up
to the time the Office closed
In Brooklyn last night more than
! 900 Germans were in line when Mar
shall Power closed his office after
registering 5000 applicants. AS in

for the position. This recommends

UNLIMITED BALLOT
FOR HUNGARY IS
FAVORED BY KING

COPENHAGEN. Via London, June /
Austrian dispatches to the German
papers give the impression that the
Hungarian crisis is gradually work
ing In the direction Of dissolution of
parliament and new elections.
In the interim a minority ministry
would hold office and Count Andras-
sy is mentioned as possible head for
such a cabinet. Unless the Hungarian
electoral practices are changed the
cabinet in power during the elections
would probably emerge with major
ity.
The address Of the Budapest mu-
nicipality to the king. thanking him
for his stand on the franchise Ques-
ton. reveals the fact that King
Charles desires universal secret bal
lot. Count Tisza advocates a restrict
ed and involved suffrage.
Under Royal Pressure. however he
has dropped from his program some
of the limitations on the labor vote.
such as requiring the qualification Of
a years residence and the retention Of
the same employment.
Count Tisza processes to be weary
OF the parliamentary struggle and
tells his friends that he wants to 60
to the front and fight. However, it
is safe to assume that when parlia-
ment opens the former premier will
be vigorously leading the opposition.

seriauIt Gets Credit.
Much credit for the success Is due
to the coach, Arthus j. Beriault.
One of the biggest surprises was
given by Lester Letter, as David Quix-
ano, a temperamental young Jewish
musician, who, through his musical
composition, the American Sym
phony." hopes to bring the real mean
ing of America to the thousands of
aliens who have come to this country
TO escape the oppression Of European
autocracies.
Camilla Haner, in the role Of Vera
Rendeval, Russian noblewoman, who
through revolutionary act, was
forced to flee to America, with Letter
in The many long scenes and speeches
between the two, acted in a manner
that brought much applause.
Harris Is Clever.
The part of Herr Pappelmeister, the
German orchestra conductor. was we'll
presented by Benjamin Harris. Har-
ris' action when he first read the
american symphony" was one of the
cleverest parts of the play.
Two Jewish parts, taken by Brad
ford Meyers, as Mendel Quixano, and
Irene Utter, as his aged mother. gave
an interesting color to the production.
Talbert Jessup, as Baron Rendeval,
q Russian nobleman, devoted to his
religion and the Gar, and Miss June
Robinson. as his autocratic wife, pre-.
scented a clever bit of acting. Harold
Krick, as Quincy Davenport, an Ameri-
can multi-millionaire. Mildred Nus
baum, as an Irish servant in Jewish
home. and Elizabeth Tarkelson, as a
servant played their parts well.

Owners or renters of retail stores should look out for the side of the street on which the property Is located. Illustrative of this is the testimony of real estate expert in ease some time ago that ground floors on the west side If Broadway, New York, should lease for $lJO front foot more than similar property across the street. The value of a retail business depends on the number of passersby, and the difference in this respect may result in a booming trade on one side of a street and only moderate success on the other. Some men are able to acquire such a reputa tion for their goods that the people go to them even when they are incOnven- iently located. but 1t Is a good deal eas fer in building up trade to put your, self on the route traversed by the crOwds.-Leslie's
