sented at Ferguson's store Wednes-

portion of Ashland's population, and
each day the store proved a Mecca
to shoppers who came to inspect the
new ideas brought before them from
the eastern markets. The patrons
of the store showed great apprecia'
tion of the advantages given them in
this line, and the store did a good
business both days Of the sale. 1t
is Mr.. Ferguson's intention to re-
peat this sale at opportune intervals

MALHEUR LAKE REMAINS
I. PROPERTY OF THE STATE

Indefinite postponement was the
senates action last week on the Nc.
Farland bill to relinqqlsh TO the
United States government the rights
of the state to Malheur lake, rela-
tive to migratory birds. This bill
was indefinitely postponed upon mo-
tion of Senator Gill. chairman of the
committee on game, after consider
able time had been consumed in ar.
gument.
Senator Hurley called the bill fool
ish He said the lake is fed by three
rivers and cannot be completely
drained, and that consequently the
bird life will remain, but that by be-
ing partially drained thousands Of
acres can be placed under cultiva-
tion. Asked by Senator Huston what
effect the passage of the bill would
have. Hurley replied that 1t would
require Legislative enactment before
any of the water could be drained
from the lake.

script The little fellow made himself
at home among our house plants and
kept them clean of bugs; he became
tame and answered to the name of
Mickey. The tiny lizard would come
when we called him; and he kept the
plants free from bugs and the house
clear of flies. On warm days Mickey
would crawl out onto the piazza and
sun himself. One day my neighbor's
flock of guinea hens wandered around

Nature plays cruel Joke In the diff

Had they been reversed one would
have said that IL was a. providential
arrangement The traveller who crosses
the Himalayas from Cashmere has to
climb nearly twice as much as the tray
eler who comes from the north, be-
cause while India averages only per
haps 100 feet above sea level, Tibet
averages $4,000 feet, and for this rea-
son is called the Roof of the World.
Now, had India had this elevation,
south of the mighty range of the Him
alayas, and thus shielded from the
north, as well as nearer to the equa-
tor, her climate would probably have
been as temperate as Britain, and one
of the healthiest in the world. While
had Tibet lain as low as India, In
stead of being the drearlest, most In
hospitable of lands, it would, by rea-
son of its latitude, be one of the most

LEGENDS OF THE ELEPHANT
Many and Wonderful Are the Tales
Told Concerning Its Virtues
and Its Wisdom.

Naturally we talked first about ele-
plants, of which he was almost as
chlldishly fond as l. But In contrast
to my poor knowledge, he possessed
the rich lore of man who had not
only observed hath for many years
with loving interest, but had also lis
tened to the tales of mahout and shi-
kari from Siam to Ceylon. He poured
out hundred gifts from an apparent.
ly inexhaustible store. He told of
"round-ups" In Burma, when the wild
herds are driven into gigantic corrals
to be tanned for the service of puny
man. Then, turning to the names be-
slowed by doting mahouts on these
colossal darlings, he pointed out that
In this nomenclature of affection Lo-
tus, or Lily or Pearl was only COM
monplace, while even Silver Star and
Golden Joy seemed inadequate. Folk
tales, too, he repeated, among them
the narrative of the wise elephant
that used to be sent out from GER
tain city the morning after the kings
death to bring back in its bejeweled
hOwdah the man 1t had chosen as sue
cessor to the throne Finally, just
as we were leaving the bank of the
stream, he spoke of the part played by
the elephant In the story of him who
became the Light Of Asia. Before the
birth of Gautama, destined to be the
savior of mankind, his mother dream
ed that a six-rayed star from heaven
entered her right side, and of this
star the token was white elephant
with six perfect tusks. Again, in the
prophetic vision of his father, the sec
ond Fear was ten huge silyer-tusked
elephants, signifying the ten great
gifts Of wisdom, in strength whereof
the prince should shake the world. In
Buddha's middle years an enemy
sought to take his life by sending
against him raging elephant, but
the animal recognized the good head
of the Venerable Omniscient One"
and stood in peaceful alteration before
the divine person.-Asin Magazine.

the layout or pattern, B shows side
view, and @ an end view. Sheet brass
or copper should be used. The end of
the shaft should be smoothed slightly,
and then the scupper riveted or
brazed in place. The crank-shafts are
carefully balanced in high-speed
motors, so care should be used not to
change the balance any more than
necessary.
Before installing such a system a
careful inspection should be made, to
make sure that there is room for the
scuppers at all places as the shaft re-

cised In laying out this work, as the

There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner In the field of rural mo-

tors are: ~ The volume of farm
products produced along the contem.
plated route; (2) the volume of mis-.

competition from other carriers which
would be encountered; (4) the charac.
ter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. 1t may safely be

COOPERATION
TRAVELLERS WORRIED FOR GOOD
SERVICE.

AS result of continued efforts of
the railroad committee of Post ID.
Travellers Protective Association, of
which Gilbert w. Clark is chairman,
the officials of the United States
Railroad Administration have ordered
the regular stopping Of northbound
passenger train No. 36 upon signal in
High Point to take on passengers for
northern points. For the past two
months the travellers have been work
ing to secure this concession from the
railway officials and Mr.. Clark was
recently in receipt of a letter announc-
ing that stops would become the regu-
lar order of the day on and after
June 1.
For several months No. SO was not
scheduled to make a stop here, regard
less of whether one or 20 passengers
wished to ride on it. On many days,
howevertthe train was stopped for the
discharge of passengers from southern
points. This fact. was stressed in the
contentious made by Mr.. Clark and
the railroad officials saw the point.

ENTERTAINMENT is GIVEN BY
TABLE COMPANY.

The Ideal Table Company, south of
the city, was the scene of a novel en-
tertainment Thursday evening in cele-
bration of the completion of new
building for the company, the enter
tainment being in the new building by
j. NE. s.. Salisbury the secretary and
treasurer of the company.
Practically every person in any way
connected with the Ideal Table Com
pany was present and participated i'm
the entertainment, the chief pastime
being dancing. The music was fur
nished by a string band, also the\ ena-
ployes of the Ideal Table Company.
J. J. Farriss made a short talk to
those present on the spirit of democ-
racy and equality that prevails in High
Point, At the conclusion of his re-
marks refreshments consisting of ice
cream and cake were served, after
which the company reverted to dane
ing until the hour was passing late.
The new building which was the oc-
casion of the celebration is a substan-
tai two story corrugated iron building
about IS by $50 feet, or possibly larg'
er. New machinery will be installed
and the output of the table manutac-
turing plant is expected to be consid-
erably augmented by these additions.

NO ADVANCE
DID NOT RAISE THE POLL TAX.
Only Regulated a Special License Tax
So as to EquaIize Things.

Only Regulated Special License Tax
So as to EquaIize Things.
In Saturdays Enterprise it was er-
roneously stated that the poll tax of
the city had been raised to $5. The
facts in the matter are the poll tax
was not raised at all but are the same
as last year, before the present board
took charge. Neither has any other
tax been raised except the special
license tax in some instances, and this
does not place burden on any one,
but rather equalizes the tax so that
the burden will not fall on the man
unable to bear it. AS it now stands
the man doing a small business pays
only a small tax while the man doing
large business pays larger tax.
This is democracy pure and simple
and should meet with the approval OF
every fair minded citizen. Heretofore
there was no difference in most cases,
the fellow doing $1,000 business was
paying the same tax as the fellow do
ing a $4,000 business. In other words
it is now fair and equitable to all.
Then again there we're many, bust
nesses subject to taxes which were not
paying any tax at all but who now
come in for their share.
