LinkviIle.
Time was when Linkvile was one
of the principal towns OF Oregon. Dan
remembered the place because some
Of the time-yelowed letters his grand
father had sent him had been mailed
at town that bore this name. But
he couldn't find Linkyille ON the map.
Later he was to know the reason
that the town, halfway between the
sage plains and the mountains. had
prOspered and changed its name He
remembered that 1t was located on
one of those great fresh-water lakes
of southern Oregon so, giving up that
search, he began to look for lakes. He
found them In plenty--vast, unmeas,
ured lakes that seemed TO be dlstrib-
uted without reason or sense over the
whole southern end of the state. Near
the Klamath lakes. seemingly the
most imposing of all the fresh-water
lakes that the map revealed. he found
city named Klamath Falls. He put
the name down In his notebook
The map showed a particularly
high, far-spreading range OF noun
tains due west Of the city. OF course
they were the Cascades; the map said
so very plainly. Then Dan knew he
was getting home. His grandfather
had lived and trapped and died in
these same wooded hills. Finally he
located and recorded the name of the
largest city on the main railroad line
that was adjacent to the Cascades.
The preparation FOR his departure
took many days. He read many books
on flora and fauna. He bought sport
ing equipment. Knowing the usual
ratio between the respective pleasures
of anticipation and realization, he did
not hurry himself at all. And one
midnight he boarded west-bWnd
train.
He sat for long time In the vestl-
bule of the sleeping car, thinking In
anticipation OF this final adventure of

exultant as he sank down into his

He saw to IL that at least a meas

out to the Chamber OF Commerce of
one OF the larger southern Oregon
cities. In II. he told the date of his

mountain rancher where possibly he

century Hayslope was pleas

was far enough away from the noise
of "Boney's" battles to sleep in peace.
Men chatted of crops and rents, and
listened to the gossip Of women folk
regarding Dinah Morris of Snowfeld,
Mrs. Poyser's own niece, who had
turned "Methody" preacher and would
stand right before men on the village
green, talking to them of the comfort
they could find In their friend, Jesus
Christ.
And, worse still, Dinah was so at
tractive and so gravely loving that the
men, and women too, gladly listened
to her. Big Adam Bede, the carpen-
ter, would have liked to see more of
her, had he eyes for any one except
old Poysers niece. Hetty Sorrei. AS
for Hetty, she had no thought for
Adam; Captain Arthur Donnithorne,
heir of the estate, had whispered too
many things In her pretty ear.
It was natural enough. There, In
her aunt's white dairy, rounding her
dimpled arm to lift a pound Of butter
out of the scale, Hetty had the beauty
Of fluffy kitten. Her large dark eyes
had q soft ROBUSTNESS, and her curly
hair, pushed away under her cap, stole
back In delicate rings on her forehead.
OF course, the dashing captain had no
foolish ideas about marriage, but then
as he bent over her shoulder, he was
soldier enough to feel his head turn
very fast. He had no wish to harm
her, you may be sure Of that, for he
had great pride In the Donnithorne
estate. and It Is pleasant for a rich
young man to be liked and admired.
One August evening Adam walked
homeward through grove O. grand
beeches, the glory Of the estate. AS
carpenter and woodsman, he delighted
In fine trees, and paused to look at a
huge beech which stood at the turn
Ing before the grove ended In an arch
way Of boughs.
All his life he remembered that
moment, for there, not twenty yards
away, stood two figures, close. with
clasped hands. They started. The
girl hurried away, while Arthur DON
nithorne walked slowly forward. He
was flushed and excited. but treasured
himself by remembering that Adam
was q sensible person, not likely to
babbie. That the big sober carpenter
loved Hefty, Arthur had no idea.

The Housing Committee of the Martinsburg
Chamber of Commerce is considering plans for
building new houses in Martinsburg to relieve the
existing shortage. In order that it may plan intel
Igently and know who would be interested and what
size house they would need it is necessary to discuss
the matter with them. Of course, this discussion
obgates neither the Chamber of Commerce nor any,
one else. 1t is merely to find out what this city
really needs
The Chamber of Commerce will not make
pennys profit out of this work and all houses will be
turned over to the purchaser exactly at cost.
1t is believed by the Housing Committee that
with the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce.
many houses can be built for people who either do
not have enough money to go ahead and build for
themselves or who feel that the building of house
is too much of an undertaking for them. 1t is be-
ieved that through building many houses at once,
the very lowest cost can be reached.
But to do this, it is necessary to have certain IN
