Ian Ads j mid Cut Deeper Difficulty An ticipated In 1 toad work Kule County Cannot Render Flnandul AtwlHtunee Pcrsonul Items (Special Correspondence.) Holdman, Oro., Jan. 20. The peo ple of Holdman are becoming so ac untomcd to high water that the re. at freshet did not . even creato aough Interest for people to bo out o watch for timbers and fencing to sja floating post. The water here at oldman did very little damage ex cept to wash out a few culberts and aecpen the channel In a few places taking steep banks that will have to be worked down, but as they get worked down about every spring the banks are supposed to be getting used t it, likewise the people. Enough work is done In a period f five years that all have to be re newed each spring that the expense tor that length of time would put the roads up out of the bottom of the canyons yhore they would not wash at, and where very little expense wuld be required to keep them In shape. Some difficulty is anticipated In setting teams to do road work unless the county court allows two dollars a day per team as feed Is so high that one dollar a team will hardly pay for the feed per day. Considerable feed will have to be shipped into this place as there is not enough to do the regu lar spring work and even the usually dwNplKed straw stack would look good to quite a number of people. Uncle Pete Nelson, who makes his home with Frank Brown Is very ill and 1h not expected to live. Mr. Nel tca Is seventy-one years old and has been falling quite a good drul during the past year. John Bishop Is making arrange ments to put In a gasoline engine to pump water for Irrigation purpose In the spring. Miss Flossie Hoyt who has been quite ill for some time Is getting some better. Pome new books have been received for the school library, and will be appreciated by the children. The Farmers Union met at the school house last Saturday, Jan. 15, and made arrangements to meet Sat urday, Jan. 22, have their regular meeting, followed by a banquet at the hall In the evening to which each member Iselo Invite their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Patchen and Will Deal returned from Wallula Sunday after a few days visit with the family If Newton Miller, who formerly re sided here. J. T. Thorno had quite a difficult time getting home from Pendleton Tuesday, having to leave his buggy and come on horse back across the ridges on account of the high water. W. S. Gerruant and J. T.' Thome made a road Inspection trip on Thursday and report that consider able work will be necessary t get the road in shape so that the stage can make Its regular trips on schedule time. No session of school was held Tuocday or Wednesday, as It was not possible for the children to cross the water. THE SKIPPER'S WHITE LIE. What Happened at Night and What the Passenger Waa Told.

Said the Keloid i.t who had been col lecting Sieclinens oil a eoral reef; "I'c often heard men ami women say tlicv fell so .-ale with Ciiluin So ani and I've wondered, too. wheth er their sense of seeiit'il.v would still be retained if these favored travelers knew exactly what happened on ship board during a voyage, i'or my own part. I have more coinidonee than ever in a captain of my acquaintance since I learned that he could tell a while lie When it was necessary to calm t!ic fears of a nervous traveler.

We do it at night so ns to create no exeileiuetit.' Then he got the woman to describe what he had heard mid nsked her. Did you llnd much time between the topping nnd reversing?' " 'No,' she replied. "Then,' said the skipper, 'that show ed bow well everything was working, did It not?' "When I got the skipper's enr I told him confidentially that I didn't think the schooner's engines bnd worked as well as ours, and he remarked thnt it might have been worse. Whether he meant the lie or the Incident 1 didn't Inquire, but I suspect It wasn't the lle."-New York Post. LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED. Conditions Under Which Water Ac tually Flows Upward.

The crows come In thous ands, many fiylng from the Ohio river where they feed In the daytime. About 3 o'clock they begin to fly over the town nnd they keep up in a steady stream until the night comes on. The farmers have tried to scare them away by shooting, but It seems to have no effect on- the number. A few nights ago several men shot Into thu roosts nnd hundreds were killed, but the hunters were forced to run, ns they were attacked by the birds, which flew nt their hn. They feed In the corn In the fields and are regarded here as a. nulsnnce.
