A HAPPY FARMER

A certain class of newspaper men
assert that a farmer is the most in
dependent man on earth and that
he has nothing to do but enjoy life.
That when winter comes and the
blizzard's on the wing he toasts his
feet in the oven and reads the local
newspaper and the only thing that
disturbs him is a call three times a
day to banquet on mince pies and
other luxuries.
It is a mistake. The industrious
farmer begins work long before the
sun thinks of getting up. With his
soul shroulded in gloom he proceeds
to build a fire and softens his boots
with a sledge hammer He then
takes a lantern and shovels his way
to the barn and feeds the hogs. 1t
is then time to feed the newly arrived
calf, which seems to delight in butt
ing a pail of milk over the tiller Of
the soil until he only needs to be
stamped to pass for package of ole
omargarine He crawls thorugh a
barb wire fence and digs the hay
out of the snow, gathers up the
frozen chicks, chases a stray pig,
worth 25 cents, four miles, and does
not catch it, doctors a sick horse,
freezes his fingers, gets kicked by
One-eyed mule. and when the gloam-
ing comes and quietness broods over
all the earth, he has a single half
hour to mediate and wonder how
he will pay his taxes.

Shown at the leading theatres

the machines was large centrifugal
pump, at that time considered the
largest of its kind in the world. High
water took out part of the dam and
the pump with it. The pump now
lies at the bottom Of the river and
much money and time have been ex-
pended in trying to locate it to raise
it from the water. After this nothing
more was done except to keep day
and night watchman at the dam.
For years this Ament dam has been
an eyesore. The timbers are decayed
and ready to fall to pieces. There is
one place in the concrete construction
where leak has started. There are
two fish ladders, one a dark under
ground passage into which few fish
will enter, the other a wooden struc-
ture, part of which goes out with the
high water and has to be replaced
each year. At that 1t is inadequate,
for at low water the fish can barely
get through, and it affords a splendid
opportunity for the fish hogs" to
gaff what fish that do get into it.
Upon inspecting this dam we found
nothing but decayed timbers and
rusty and broken machinery, most Of
which has been removed by sheriff's

THE DIARY HABIT.

One of the most prominent features
of the early part of January used to
be the keeping Of diaries. Little
black and red covered books neatly
ruled and dated we're very favorite
Christmas present. Some Of them
were large sized volumes with room
for very extended daily history of
ones doings.
Most young people at some time or
other tried keeping those books. The
entries for the first week or two
would be very detailed and complete.
Not merely would personal events be
chronicled, but the weather and local
events were described. Many emo
tional young people detailed their
state Of feelings and mental reactions.
BY about January 8 it became an old
story. Entries became meager and
scattered, and few diary keepers
could keep it up much beyond Febru-
airy.
Occasionally one finds among
household treasures, however, we'll
kept diary of some Of our ancestors.
In the old days when life was quiet
and there were few distractions, peo-
pie of literary and contemplative turn
found journel keeping a very inter-
esting diversion.
They enjoyed reviewing the events
of the day, and in after years it was
a great pleasure to renew the expert
ences of former times. Also it was
an exceedingly convenient thing to
have these personal records and many
business disputes were settled by
them. Some of these old diaries give
a wonderfully accurate picture of the
life of former generations.
The modern age is too swift to
spend time in this way. 1t is all we
can do to perform the duties and en-
gage in the pleasures of the day, with
out stopping to record them. Few
people spend hours in the contempla-
tion of the past, and there is little
reviewing of former experiences.
Rather the mind is concentrated on
the future. So the old-time dairy
seems to have gone out, and our past
history lapses into oblivion, with only
the great landmarks of experience
standing out.

Says Ament Dam
Menace toIFish

Rogue River Argus: In 1902 some
men conceived the idea of building
concrete dam across the Rogue river,
about three miles above Grants Pass,
for the purpose Of mining. This dam
was at that time known as the Ament
dam. After short period, during
which it was used for mining, it was
given up as failure. An irrigation
plan was then put forth, but before
the water was ever turned into the
canal this was given up. Next came
the idea of utilizing the power. Ma
chinery was installed and the dam
harnessed to furnish power. Among

THE RESULTS OF PROSPERITY.

Much is being said, and we'll said,
as to the obligations our new million
aires incur in spending the new
money made out of war munitions
and 1916 prosperity. But that doesn't
hit most of US. The average man
also may we'll ask what he is doing
to make the present prosperity some
thing more than a mere ephemeral
wave Of high prices and free spend
ing.
A period of good business should
be one Of building on stronger and
deeper foundations. 1t should be a
time when our people should estab-
hsh new and better civic institutions.
There should be a more liberal feel
ing toward educational advance and
civic and social institutions.
In spite Of general prosperity, It Is
still very hard to get money for the
best causes Of philanthropy and civic
betterment. There should in particu.
lar be better scholastic opportunities
for capable young people. The boy
or girl with brains and without mon.
ey should not find 80 many obstacles
in the way Of a thorough education
The average taxpayer should bt
more friendly toward these enter
prises. He should realize that a high.

and to secure that efficiency we must

Movie Matters
Enid Bennett as a Peace-Maker.

Enid Bennett as Peace-Maker,
"Mikey" met Leo II" at the Tri-
angle-Kay Bee studios-in the man
ner characteristic of cat and dog.
Leo II" is a scraggly little pup of
mongrel breed with a predominance
of Scotch terrier blood in his veins,
while "Mikey" is a pleasant-faced,
backyard brand, common or garden
variety of cat.
Both of these are strays, and with
feryor not unmixed with hatred they
spat and barked at one another on
first introduction-each of them hav-
ing come to the studio unlimited and
without any apparent reason other
than that there was shelter there.
But both of them fell in love-and,
strangely enough, with the same girl
Enid Bennett, the new Triangle
star.
They met her in one of her scenes
in a new play she is making, and with
one accord they attached themselves
to her.
Then a strange thing happneed.
Love worked a miracle.
In their affection for Miss Bennett
they forgot their own differences and
grew fond of one another.
Now they have been acclaimed stu
dio mascots and they may be found
safely ensconced in one another's
paws on an improvised bed at night,
while the days go pleasantly by for
them as they play together, romp to-
gether, eat together and are petted
together by their favorite.
"Mikey" and Leo II" were recent
ly christened by Miss Bennett, who
considered long before deciding on
the proper cognomen for her pets.

New SiskiyOu
Town FlOuriSheS

The town of Grenada, ten miles
southeast of Yreka, is not yet a year
old, but is recognized as one of the
future progressive towns of Siskiyou
county. The strides it has taken in
the last few months are astonishing.
The town is being built for the bene-
fit of the settlers arriving in Shasta
valley and about the Big Springs.
The new hotel, modern and up to
date, was opened on Tuesday for the
use of the public. Large warehouses
are not only completed but are filled
with merchandise. The planning mill
is also finished and is expected to be
in operation as soon as the power
lines are connected at that place.
New houses have already been built
and sold, while eight more have been
contracted for and sold before work
has started on them. They are to
be completed within sixty days.
In addition a contract has been
let and work will start at once on a
good bank building. This banking
concern will start with capital Of
$50, 900, the stock of which has al
ready been subscribed. Contracts
have been let also for the construc-
ton of buildings to be occupied by
hardware store, the postoffice, the
express office, and large general
store. All of these buildings are to
be completed within the next sixty
days. A $4,000 hardware stock has
already arrived and will be moved to
the building as soon as completed.
The water and sewage systems are
completed and ready for use.
All of these things are being done
by A. L. Harlow, who represents his
own and eastern capital. Mr.. Har-
low is demonstrating that great
things can be done in Siskiyou county
with its splendid agricultural and
horticultural resources. He is meet
ing with much success in developing
and improving this section of Siski-
you, and he has such confidence in
the future of the valley that at least
s150,O00 will be invested in the
townsite and improvements.-Yreka

fond has she become Of the bird that
she is teaching 1t 70 sing like a ca

Her greatest disappointment is that
she can not keep the bird at her hotel

Dolls Represent Triangle Stars at
Charity Bazaar.

NN-~'
Strange news comes from Chicago,
to wit, that "Bill Hart was RESPONSE
BILE for a doll sold at a holiday bazaar
for the benefit of the poor children
there. Hart was first reported as
claiming that he produced this doll
which is dressed in one of his famous
cow-punchcr costumes-with his own
fair hands, but when cornered he de-
clared that at least he had directed
the wardrobe mistress in its actual
manufacture.
Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish and Bes-
sic Love also sent dolls to this same
bazaar, as did Louise Glaum, Doro-
thy Dalton and Mabel Normand; and
the claims of these latter that they
really constructed the dolls may be
regarded as having the basis of abso-
Lutte competency and natural gifts,
and therefore deserving of respect.
Hart's claims to fame as a seam
stress find warm defender in
George Stone, the six-year-old Trian-
gle actor.
"I'll bet Mr.. Hart could sew that
doll, all right" said George, because
when I was down there with him at
Inceville he sewed up a baseball for
me-"
Be this as it may, all the dolls
were masterpieces of doll culture.
Lillian Gish's was a duplicate of her
striking black velvet and ermine
gown worn as the heroine of Diane
of the Follies;" Dorothy Gish's was a
duplicate of her play, "The Little
Yank," and was quaint in crinoline
and pantalettes of sixty years ago;
Bessie Love dressed hers to corre-
spond with her costume in "Nina, the
Flower Girl" blue dress with
gaily embroidered scarf over her
shoulders; Louise Glaum sent the
most vampirish kind of a vampire
doll, which it was necessary to en-
case in a separate package in order
to prevent 1t casting its dangerous
spell over William S. Hart's mascu-
line creation-the only gentleman
doll in the lot; Dorothy Dalton sent
an elaborate doll representing the
character she plays in "The Weaker
Sex" in which her forensic skill was
displayed in conjunction with ele-
gance of apparel.

mother and daughter are all ap-

is Herbert Standing, the silver haired

work of Wyndham Standing, his son,
the heavy" who is a new acquisi-

Helen Jerome Eddy, the talented
young acress, plays the daughter to
