Reg slating the dance halls of the city, providing for their I'censlng, placing a ban on the "Turkey Trot," "The Back Walk." the "Frisco Glide." "and other dances of like character, or of suggestive. Indecent or Immoral char acter," an ordinance haa been pre pared by Mayor A. J. Gillis to be pre sented for passage at the next meet ing of the city commissioners. A similar ordinance was Introduced by Mayor Gillis early In the spring, but was never finally passed, having been placed on file. Tho proposed ordinance provides that owners or managers of all dance halls shall pay the city a quarterly license fee, the amount of which has not yet been determined. This will probably mean that air halls in the city In which dances are held will have to be licensed and that societies, clubs or private individuals giving dances in these halls will not have to pay a license fee. Provision is made that licenses shall be transferable, that written application, stating location, ownership and management of dance halls shall be made for licenses, that dances shall nu be kept open later than 1 a. m.; that no sale of liquor will be permitted and that no person under the age of IS years will be al lowed to attend dances unless accom panied by parent or legal guardian.

With one exception this Is still as high as any levy in the history of La Orande. The municipal tax levy will aggre gate 16 mills for the year 1913.

WHY RFJIXAItl) SHAW WEARS HOMESPUN'S Gift of Two IHn-k SIknmj by Irish Friend Some Years Ago Rl Ilea Hon. London. The cause of George Ber nard Shaw's partiality for suits made of homespun cloth is given by a writer in the "Express." It all came about, says the writer, from G. B. S.'s admiration, or that of hia wife, for two black sheep. The owner was so elated that he insist ed on making them a present of the sheep. Being vegetarians, they did not know what to do with them, so they put the twin sheep out to board on a desolate farm in the north of Ire land, while they returned to civil ization. Within a few months a couple of bales of wool were sent, and speed ily turned into homespuns for Shaw and his wife. When the next shear ing came they had more wool than they knew what to do with, so they sent it to their relatives. Time passed, and Shaw's prosperity increased so did the wool. After his relatives, he tried It on his neighbors. In fact, so much cloth arrived that all friends except critics were wear ing clothes from the Schwlan sheep. He Is said to have clothed many an ambitious actor appearing in his plays, but with the Increase of the wool came a politle intimation from the farmer that he could no longer afford to board and lodge the sheep at the same rate as previously. Then the truth leaked out the black Bheep had lost 'no time In following their owner's teachings against race sul clde. Shaw wrote more plays, in the hope of getting Into touch with ac tors who were not vegetarians and actresses who liked homespun; but even his versatility was not equal to the sheep, which multiplied exceed ingly. So Shaw can say with Shylock, when asked If his money Is so much sheep and lambs, "I cannot tell; I make It breed. as fast!" Hard Colds People whose blood Is pure are not nearly so likely to take hard colds as are others. Hood's Sar eaparllla makes the blood pure; and this great medicine recovers the sys tem after a cold as no other medi cine does. Take Hood's. Ill LL HODGEHS HUNTING IN DESCHUTES COUNTRY La Pine, Or., Dec. 5. W. K. Rod gers, captain of the Portland Coast league club, and W. K. Shangle, who was once the world's champion foot racer, are camped at the "Wickiups." a few miles northwest of La Pine, on the west fork of the Deschutes river, for a few months' outing; shooting ducks and trapping. They say they find the La Pine country abounding in natural scenic wonders. Shangle, who had visited the world's most famous scenic regions, says he has nowhere found anything to surpass the beauties of Cran prair ie, which lies up In the Cascades a few miles from where they are camp ing. From the highest peak of Cult us mountain, which rises sheer from tho northern edge of Crane prairie, 19 mountain lakes and 11 snow peaks are visible. The sky is clear in this part of Oregon for the greater por tion of the year, so the view may be had most any time. ttF.rtVHARDT IS IN AMERICA FOR. TOUR New York, Dec. 6. Mme.
