must not be shaken SO early in
life, collects it's meagre resources
and invests in the toys and sweet
things so essential to a child's
happiness.
Tonight at the armory when the
huge tree is lit, there will be ap-
proximately 400 children there to
receive the gifts that the kindly
soldiers of the Army have obtained
for them. No little one in the en-
tire city need be without a real
Christmas, for generous prepara-
tions have been made that will in
clude all who care to be present.
An invitation has been issued by
ensign Roe to the public to attend
.and witness the program and

Orionis is briefly described as fol-

Unstable in width and distance

image of star there appears a

ranged at equal distances apart and
parallel to the two slits. When the
slits are properly adjusted dis
tance is finally attained between
them at which the fringes disap-
pear.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Ashurst, democrat. Arizona. went
to the White House today for the
purpose of getting what he de-
scribed as a frank and manly" an
nouncement from President Wilson
as to whether the executive would
sign the bill extending for six
months the provision of the law
requiring 500 worth of work on
mining claims before midnight
December 81.
The senator went first to the ex-
ecutive offices where he was told
that the president had the bill. He
then went to the White House and
said he was told there that the
bill was at the executive offices. n.
Returning to the executive Of

the announced purpose of remain
ing until he got some sort of a
statement as to what the president

proposed to do with the bill.
Senator Ashurst and many other

been flooded with kilograms of in
quiry as to the status of the newly
enacted bill. The Arizona senator
said claim jumpers were sitting
like blackbirds on a fence" waiting
to jump the claims at midnight
Friday night if the new bill was
vetoed by the president.
Senator Ashurst said if the presi-
dent vetoed the bill at the last min
ute, holders of mining claims
would lose their property, as the
law requires that the assessment
work be done before midnight

then "claim jumpers" could take

Property Not
AS Represented
Broker Is Sued

Dallas, Or, Dec. 29.-rhe first
suit filed in Polk county court
against a real estate broker and his
bondsmen for misrepresentation or
sale of land fraudulently was filed
by Edward Diewart against Rich
Reiman and the National Surety
company.
Mr.. Diewart alleges that in the
month OF May, he made his inten-
tions known to Mr.. Reiman that he
wanted to buy a piece OF land. Mr..
Reiman sold him a piece OF land
containing so acres stating that the
land had produced in the year 1919
S270O worth of prunes, was en-
closed with a new wire fence and
that the prune trees were 4 or 5
years of age and that the land was
worth $4,000.
The plaintiff states that he is a
stranger in the county and that he
relied upon the statement Of the
defendan. Mr.. Reimann, but he has
since learned that the statements
were false. That the farm did not
produce more than S50O.35 worth
Of prune in 1919 and that the land
was only partially enclosed with a
new wire fence, and that the re-
mainder Of il was enclosed with an
old rail or board fence, that part
Of the prune trees were IL years Of
age but OF small growth and that
they were not young trees as 80
stated. and that the land was only
Of the value Of $4,000.
Mr.. Dlewart entered into the con-
tract for the purchase OF the land
and paid on the contract the sum
Of $1,000 and when he discovered
that the represe ntatiOns were FALSE
he surrendered his contract or pur-
chase and It was rescinded by an
agreement with the OWF<-r OF the
land. He therefore asks damages
