MIR. Clark Sends Poem

Mr.. Fredricy's beautiful tribute to
Natures handiwork and the great out
doors, touches a responsive chord in
the hearts of all lovers of the beauti-
| full in nature. The writer took an out
ing last summer, and one Of the most
beautiful scenes | ever saw, or expect
to see this side of the Pearly Gates,
was Crater Lake whose depths of blue.
outriValed Italy's skies, a mammoth
ring with setting rare, like a gem
from paradise.
So, when summer days are hot and long
And I'm restless as child,
'Tis then | don my hiking duds,
And plunge INTO the wild
To glimpse a view of Heavens blue,
Through emerald-splred trees,
/ To sense how cool the woodland air,
How pure the mountain breeze.
| 'Tis not where commerce ebbs and flows
Nor in the crowded mart,
/ That nature sings her sweetest songs,
That echo in the heart.
Lives there one who never heard
The voice of nature call,
/ Wh0 never saw the pictures rare
That hang upon her walls?
/ There's music in the mountain stream,
There's rapture Wild ami free,
/ There's rhythm in its roaring notes
That lures and calls to me.
With rod and line, | whip the stream
For speckled beauties shy,
! From crystal depths and silv'ry foam
They rise to take the fly.
And, oh dear boy, what thrills of JOY
4 Whene 'er big one strikes,
With bending rod and singing reel,
Oh, how the bugger fights.
/ At night how sweet to lie and rest
Meath Oregon's summer skies,
/ My tent, the sparkling walls of night,
Star-arched so grand and high;
/ Across the voids Of boundless blue,
The meteors flash and glow,
! Lost wanderers from the wrecks of time
Seek haven here below.
My fancy peoples other worlds,
That roll in far off space,
With forms that move and live and love.
And hold in life a place.
/ So, when summer days are hot and long
And you're weary Of the grind,
Just dig hole and bury care,
And the mountain fastness find.

MAN SAYS HANDCUFFS
CAUSE OF INJURY

An Italian, aged about 35, who APP
peared here several weeks ago, taking
up a domicile in a crevice between two
cottonwood trees on the Columbia low
| lands Just north of the city, is puzzle
! to officers and citizens who have seen
him. The human derelict is reticent
and declines conversation but bit by
bit employees of the O-W. r & N. Co.,
who have been observing his actions,
have gathered a sensational story from
| him. The man says he escaped from
Canada five years ago wearing a pair
of haudcuffs. The condition Of both
his wrists indicate that his story lnsO-
far as the handouts are concerned is
true.
The Italian declares that he doesn't
know why he was taken prisoner.
He claims that men captured h'm and
handcuffed him while he was at work
on a Canadian railroad. He>was placed
in a house from which he escaped,
fastening across the border. The man
saws he wore the handouts for II
months. He says they were removed
by three doctors, the flesh having
swollen over the metal rings. Sears
show that incisions were made. In
deed, the right hand was so injured
that it is useless.
A number of years ago the late Til
Taylor. sheriff of Umatilla county,
found a man in frightful condition
from the effects Of handouts. He had
physicians remove them. Local Off
GERS are investigating, thinking the
Italian is the same man. Inquiries,
too. have been made of Canadian
authorities.
The Italian, according to M. B. Web
ster deputy city marshal, is thriving
from food secured from a garbage
dump on the Iowlands. He has been
seen driving rats away from scraps Of
bread, cabbage and potatoes. Mr..
Wedbster says the man has gained per-
ceptibly in weight since he came here.
He is now living in a small shack just
north Of the O-W. r. & N. station.
During the recent stormy weather,
however, his sole covering consisted of
some scraps of tin and tarred paper,
over the niche between the two trees.
He slept crouched in, this like some
wild animal. A fire at his feet warmed
him on the coidest nights.

The Progressive Farmer states that
eighty-four farmers have written for
publication Of their experiences in
spacing cotton. Of these seventy-sev-

creased their yield, one is still ex-

without experimenting, that thin
spacing is best, and five report better
results with thin spacing. These far

Thick Spacing of Cotton.

interest is being shown this season,

ing of cotton for boil weevil condi-
tions. Many inquiries are being re-
ceived by the agronomy division as
to the best spacing of cotton. Prof.
Blackwell's answer to such inquiries
are that the observation and expert
ment of our agrononists are in har-
mony with the experiments from
Mississippi and other states to the
effect that thick spacing is best.
"We have gotten larger yields
from thick spacing, and we believe
that it is quite universally true
throughout the country that thick
spacing is best. e'believe that far

The English language is indeed a

how many chicks that means we do

is, to see them get large enough for
the flock to become minus one by
