The cod fishing fleet operating in Boring Sea has been cut this year from it's normal number of fifteen vessels to three ships, according to information received at the Cover nor's office from the Alaska Cod Fishing Company.

TO GROW OLD GRACEFULLY
Desirable Condition That Greatly De-
Ponds on Ones Habits Of Mind
Formed in Youth.

The most inevItable-and one OF the
easiest-of the things we do is to grow
old. Yet what a difference there Is In
the way different people DO IL!
You probably know. for instance.
some little old lady who although she
may not be beautiful or brilliant. Is
just 'nice"-which is apt to mean
that instead of bosslng or scoldlng, she
tries not to be troublesome or unrea-
sOnable to those around her. Or rath-
er. she does not have to try, for Il is
characteristic of elderly human beings
that they seldom try very hard to form
new habits. Youth is the period Of
endeavor, and old age Of results. This
is the reason for the futillty of young
folks displeasure at their parents
"old-fashioned" ideas. Such ideas are
fixed; they will not change.
Yet not all elderly people are age
hound In their thoughts; many can be
tolerant Of Innovations, and a few can
even adopt them. Such flexible con-
ditiOn of the elderly mind Is, like the
rigid, lntolerant sort, a product Of
earlier life and habits; II is not likely
TO indicate any particular good or
evil trait In the person possessing 1t.
If the young man or woman who
feels impatient at the old folks no
lions will cease to shrug a shoulder
and exclaim: II hope I'm not like
that when I'm DID," and will turn his
attention to the younger generation,
starting with himself, he is likely to
do much more for human progress.
When he himself has reached the age
OF fixed ideas his character will de-
pend on his previous habits of mind;
If he has kept himself free from pref
udice and cOcksuredness and has been
always willing to learn better ways Of
thinking and doing, he will be likely
to remain CORRESPONDENCE more ration
al with advancing years, and will. in
truth not be 'like that" when he Is
old.-Pendleton East Oregonian.

LAUGHED AT SEAL
"HeI!- Diver" Refused to Figure
on PurSuer'S Menu.
Curious Speed Contest Reported by
Nature Student, Who Witnessed
the incident, on Maine Coast.

Seals are quick of movement, and
feeding cannot but marvel at the speed
with which they dart about in the
water and the apparent ease with
which they are able to overtake their
prey, says a Bulletin of the American
Game Protective association, and like
wise there are few duck hunters who
have not had the opportunity Of wit

monty known as the hell-dlver. He
can easily protect himself by diving
ming is slow as compared with the
speed with which a hell-diver sub
merges when he sees the fash of a gun
headed in his direction"
Which of the two Is quicker In the
water becomes n nice question, to the
discussion of which Arthur L. Penni-
man contributes the story of a con-
test he witnessed on the Maine coast.
In the Penobscot bay region, between
a seal and pied-billed grebe, when
his best. "the seal looking for his
supper and the hell-dlver intent on
seeing that he didn't make up the
menu"
"Whlle we were engaged In studying
the habits of a fish hawk" Mr.. Penni-
man writes, "our attention was at
tracted by great commotion In the
water off shore. From our blind we
could see that the splashing was
caused by seal performing the most
curious antics in his attempts to catch
bird which we later identified as
pied-billed grebe.
1.-THE seal made rapid progress pOr-
posing in and out of the water In
quick diving leaps and was fast over
hauling the bird, which was swimming
frantically to escape his pursuer, but.
however, made no attempt to fly. AZ
ter straight-away race of some fifty
yards or more 1t seemed as If the
chase was over, as both bird and seal
disappeared in the same splash as the
seal struck the water When the
splash subsidized we saw that the grebe
had cleverly lodged to one side and,
after twisting and turning quickly
around a very small circuit to elude
the seal, he headed straight for shore.
"The bird now began to use its
wings, and, Suffering rapidly over the
water, soon distanced the seal, which
continued the chase until within 80
feet of the beach, where the water
was no more than knee deep.
There he sat with his shoulders out
of the water, watching the grebe as
the latter ran along the edge of the
shore. Then, as though he hated to
give up his meal, he slowly pursued
the bird on a parallel course in the
water, paying not the slightest atten-
ton to the men on the beach until he
was frightened off by our intervention
In the contest"

Developlnn Guatemala.

President Herrera of Guatemala, has
undertaken to interest foreign capital
In the development of some $4,000
square miles of unexpected territory
In Guatemala which still awaits the
hand of the pioneer and the invader
to transform 1t into productive fields
AS the first step he has created a new
department of agriculture with a min
lister in his cabinet and has appointed
as head of this department Antonio
BOuscayol.
Both the president and the new min
lister have devoted the main part Of
their lives to agricultural development
and are therefore keenly interested in
providing encouragement to the farm
ers and planters. Both realize foreign
investment must be encouraged to ac-
complish this end and believe that
such aid must be expected as a re-
suit Of diffusion of the knowledge that
Guatemala has a safe and sane govern
ment, is fit place to live in and has
much territory as yet undeveloped.

tumult Of baggage wagons, attends

crowned with more than imperial au-

be among its ministering servants; 1t
will rule not over but In their heads,
and with these Its solitary combina-
lions of ideas, as with magic formu-
las, bend the world to its will. The

Pointer for the Housewife.

The woman who reduces herself to a frazzle and her family to nervous wrecks does it by trying to do each separate piece of work to perfection. We all like perfectly appointed household, but it is vastly more impOr- tant that a home should be comfort able, where the family likes to gather, than that no grain of dust should ever be seen. Housework, done right, is more healthful than almost any other work.

Cave Has Natural Heat.

A naturally heated cave has been discovered at Horse Butte, nsar Bend. Ore, which apparently draws it's warmth from subterranean volcanic source. The discovery was made by c. A. Yarnell and H. D, Eide, local fuel dealers The cave Is located near the top of the butte and first attract ed attention when a wave of heat was felt issuing from the mouth. The cin- der bottom and rock walls of the tun- nel are unhearably hot to the touch, the heat increasing as far back as could be explored. That the phe- nomenon is recent manifestation was indicated by the smoldering of grass and twigs near the opening. To test the natural oven MT. Yarnell cooked light breakfast by introduc- ing raw articles of food into the aper- ture and closing the oriflce for . few moments.
