A LAND OF
 HISTORIC MEMORIES

Surely nowhere in the world is there an arm of the sea so fraught with historic memories as that which guards the approach to Persia on the south. Quitting India at Karachi, one sails traight out into another world. a world of Oriental despotism and old romance, F. B. BradleyBirt writes in Through Persia"
 "Even at the outset, as one crosses the Arabian Sea, historic memories crowd thick upon one. This way from the Indus, at whose mouth lies Karachi, sailed Nearchus, admiral of the great Alexander, in the fourth century before Christ, leaving so careful record of his voyage that its course along the northern shores can still be traced today. From the op- posite end of the gulf, from Busrah in Arabia, 12 centuries later came Sinbad the Sailor, of wide reknown, on his seven voyages of far-famed ad- ventures to furnish nursery tales for all time to come. Early in the six teenth century there suddenly appear ed upon the scene the 1ign-pooped vessels of the Portuguese, first of European nations her3 as elsewhere | in the rush for empire in the new l worlds east and west. For wellnigh century they rode the seas, their possession undisputed from the west, | contested only by the Turk and Arab seanen of the coasts, who proved 1 themselves no unworthy rivals in naval warfare even for the greatest 1 maritime power of the age. Then at the beginning of the seventeenth cen- tury there followed in their wake the English and the Dutch, eager to rob l the earliest pioneers of their hard i won laurels and wrest from them the empire of the seas. From time to time the French appeared like meteors amidst the clash of warning elements, making spasmodic efforts to share the: spoil and plumber of this new world of wealth, the fame of which, magnif1ed a hundredfold in oriental flower of speech, had spread far and wide over the west.
 "Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries this coveted arm
 of the sea was the constant scene o1
 strife from end to end. With the
 varying fortunes, the Portuguese clinging with dIogged tenacity to the
 first footholds they had won, helt
 their own for 150 years Fol
 time the Dutchmen swept the seas.
 Then the English succeeded to the su
 premacy of the Gulf.

Sold Some Fine Stock.

w. o. Minor returned last week
from Portland where he attended the
annual Minor, Brown & Dunn short
horn sale. Mr.. Minor sold six head
of blooded stock at this sale, all of
them bringing fancy prices. He says
the sale was big success. Minor,
Brown & Dunn were the original
shorthorn dealers of the Northwest,
but the game has grown to such an
extent and the breeders have increas-
ed In such numbers, that the sales are
pulled off on much larger scale than
in former years. Mr.. Minor is grad
ually closing out his fine herd. He is
the pioneer shorthorn breeder of this
section and is accredited with having
done more to foster and build up the
industry than any other man. His
herds have taken first prizes at all
the big stock shows and livestock ex-
positions in all parts of the United
States.

properly educating the peoples of the
various nationalities that have come
to Americas shores. The work he
represents was originally begun in
Minneapolis in the interests of the
Scandinavian population but is now
broadened out to take in all nation

and while looking after their relig-

after their proper education along
other lines and sees to 1t that these
people are made to absorb the great
American idea of democracy which

MAN IS HELD
AS STACKER

George Carter, who was registered
for the selective service at The Dalles
has been taken in charge by Sheriff
McDuffee and is now held in the
county jail for having failed to re.
turn his QUESTIONABLE.
Carter will be taken in charge by
federal officials.
The man gives as his excuse for
failing to return his QUESTIONABLE
that he lost his draft registration
card and that his friends advised him
not to mention it.
When being questioned by Sheriff
McDuffee and asked If he was ready
to go to France, the young man re-
piled that he didn't know whether
he was or not. About that time w.
F. Rogers stepped into the Jail and
asked Carter if he knew the manual
of arms, Carter scratched his head
and replied, II don't know, where
does he live?"
From all appearances Carter ap-
pears to be a man with but little ed
ucation and his actions in connection
with the draft bears this out.
