Prof. Barton Hetllwell made a business trip to Cottage Grove the first of the week. Frank Finney and son. Georpe, were visitors at Cottage Grove last week. Mr. and Mis. A. Caley and Mise Ruth Swinney have returned from .their visit at Centrul Point. Roscoe Andrews visited with rel atives at this place a few days this week. Wru. Johnson and wife, who hnvo been at Springfield for several nionths, have returned to their home at this piace. Mrs. J. J. nrown and son, Ernest, have returned from their visit at Albany. Miss Emma Gross, of Albany, Is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. "Win. Gross, of this place. Miss Delia Ohlsen having finish ed her school near Grunts Pass, has ret'irned to her home near this place. Mr. Audley Applegato has returned o Portland after quite an extended visit with relatives at this place. Rudolph . Harness, of Roseburg, was a business visitor to this .city the first of the week. Dr. and Mrs. Knott have returned from their visit at Ashland. Marshal G. B. Banyan is on the sick list and as it is a risky Jilece of business to allow the city to go nnpatrolled the council has seen fit to appoint a deputy and as a result Phil. Huntington Is now wearing a Btar. It Is to be hoped that the, old policy will not be pursued. A. L. Lee, residing near this city, claims the distinction of being the first man in the United States to thresh in 1910, he having stacked his last year's crop in a shed and did not get it threshed until Jan. 3, 1910, when he rigged up his thresh er and reduced the stock to a pile of straw and about 200 bushels of sack ed rrain The passing of the old year and the birth of the new were duly ob served at this place, watch services being held at the M. E. church. Af ter the watch services had been dis-. missed, some person, or persons, ap parently not satisfied as to the extent if festivities took it upon themselves o toll all the bells in the city to helr hearts' content, apparently ob Mvlous to the feelings and rights of the remainder of the citizens. A cer ain amount of gesticulating and pro claiming Is always appreciated but nls is no call for anyone taxing themselves by remaining up and pull ing bell ropes to the extent of an hour or longer, simply .- to benent someone else. The sooner such sen timent as that expressed by: the New ""car's exploiters is eliminated the 'etter off will those harboring It be. for If persisted in It will eventually 'ead to desperation and some one will certainly be left to a lamentable fate. MRS. McGIIS i. GRATIS ADVICE TO DAMSKLS. Somo Poetry anil n Lot of Whole some Truth. When a damsel has a steady, who's a pretty decent man, and who shows a disposition to perform the best he can; -who Is shy of sinful habits, and w hose bosom holds no guile, and who lnbors In the vineyard with a gay tnd cheerful smile, then she should n't make him promise that he'll do a seraph stunt, when they've stood up at the altar with a preacher man In front; and she shouldn't spring a lecture when he comes around to court, for a man is only human, and his wings are pretty short. When a nmlden has a lover who Is surely making good, who Is winning admir ation, who is sawing lots of wood, then she shouldn't make hiin prom ise that he'll bo an angel boy when the wedding ceremony ushers in a life of joy; she Bhould murmur; "IIc'b a daisy and we'i tjke things as they come; for a man is only hu man, and his halo's on the bum.

THE CHAXCHS OP DIVORCE If you are married or about to be married, the government's latest sta tistics showing the probability of di vorce, may be of interest. During the 21 year period from 1SS7 to 1900. the records of all registered marri ages In the United States totaled 12, 832.044 and the courts granted free HiiH It is plain to be seen that your dom 820,264 unhappy couples. From chances for divorce are about one iiv fifteen. So the odds are fairly long that If you are already married or later Intend to be married, death and not the divorce courts will sever your bonds. Wives who seek freedom will be Interested to know that 68.6 per cent of all decrees have been granted to wives, and that alimony has also been allowed in two cases out of every twenty-two. Divorce is most frequent in fourth and fifth years of married life. Actors and showmen nre the most frequent divorced classes and commercial travnlors come next on the list of guilty. Agricultural laborers are the prize winners for the matrimonial constancy. Clergymen aro next desirable. . About one-third of those divorced re-marry, and di vorcees enjoy an advantage over wid ows In this respect, due, as the un feeling government ungallantly re marks, to the fact that those who get rid of their husbands by law are us ually younger than those who leave his removal to Providence. Three out of .four applications for divorce are upheld by the courts. All of which Indicates that, that while mat rlmonal chances In this land of the free are varied, marriage is no uncer tain lottery, but a percentage system based on actual records. Chicago Journal.

This Trick Performed and Their Legs Bandaged Together, the Helpless Geeie Are Ready, if Net Willing, Vic tims For the Expert Pickers. "Vos." said a manufacturer and deal er iu bed furnishings, "it is ucccssury that goose feathers should be takuu from the live gouse if we are tu study the health ami comfort of people who think they must have feather beds and pillows. Dead, gouse feathers aro uot much better thau busks to lie ou and have not that great virtuo of busks wholcsomeuess. "They say It doesn't hurt a gooso to pluck It, but It seems to me that one might us well say that It wouldn't hurt a man to have his whiskers yanked out by the buudful. The reason they give for believing a goose doesn't suffer when its feathers are being plucked out of It Is that it never squawks or squeaks or makes a fuss while the plucking is going ou. "Now, I believe It hurts a guuso like the mischief tu have Its feathers pulled out, coming as they do' from the tcn derest Bpots on Its body, nnd the rea sun the fowl doesn't utter any protest prompted by puln Is. according to the way I have sized geese up, because it is such u bltnue fuel. A guose will squawk and clatter and cackle as If It were Buffering more uguny than a horse with tile colic Just at the mere sight of you. but If you comer it up and pelt It with stones It seems to for get that It has a voice and will Uike all the punishment you give It without a further word. 'The Pennsylvania Dutch farmers pluck geese today Just the same as thefr forbears did time out of mind, and I dou't know as there is any other wily. It certainly couldn't be made any" plensanter fur the gooso unless the plucker held chloroform or some thing like that to' Us nuse while the plucking was golug on. The geese to bo bereft of their feathers are llrst got together in an luclosure used for the purpose. The perspicacity of geese may be strikingly made known to you when they nre being rounded up In such an luclosure If there should happen to be a knothole iu one end of it, the door being at the other. That door may be six "feet high and three broad, but goose after goose will Ig nore it nnd try Its best to gel through the kuothole. Induced, though, to try the door, every gooso will bob Its head down as it passes through for fear of knocking it against the top of the door Jamb, six feet above. , "There Is a man or a boy In every neighborhood where geese are plucked who Is an expert In getting the goose ready for the process. Not every one can do that. The wings of the goose have to be locked together by a pecul iar arrangement of the two Ucar the shoulder, and, while they are not tied or fastened lu any other way, the lock Is such that no goose can unlock It The goose's feet are tied together with a broad band of soft muslin. Then it is ready for the plucker.' "The pluckers. who are almost al ways women, go among the geese with their beads and faces entirely covered with hoods fastened around the neck with a shirr string. There aro holes lu the hoods for the eyes and also at the nose to supply fresh air for breathing. From the neck down the pickers are covered with a glased muslin garment to which no fenther or down will cling. The pluckers will sit on low stools around a large and perfectly dry tub. Each takes In -her lap a guoso made helpless by Its Interlocked wings and bound legs nnd with rapid plying of her lingers separates the feathers from it This Is done wltb such skill, though, that the plucker rarely breaks the goose's skin or causes blood to follow the plucking out of a feather. The nlr is constantly filled with the light feath ers during the plucking, but they Bet tie Into the tub at last "But there Isn't as much call for the goose to undergo this raping of Its feathers as there used to be. Not one pound of gooso feathers Is used today where there were fifty pounds twenty five years ago. Odd as It may seem, asthma and hay fever long ago began to have a good donl to do with decreas ing the demand for feather beds and pillows.. It was discovered that asth ma and bay fever had au alllnlty for euch couches and head rests; that nothing would otnrt an asthmatic ou for a cheerful night's wheezing so quickly ns a feather bed. This discov ery spread, nnd the goose owes a great deal of lta later day comfort to the asthma." Detroit Free Press, 8ha Had Enough. As Mrs. May of Ulrchdale Corners was lenvlug the exhibition hall of the county fair a man stepped out of a booth and accosted her.

The announcement : of the hoard's equalization is expect ed to stir up a hornet's nest In more than one county as the valuation t some counties has been nearly doubl ed. Clatsop has been increased from $8,881,221 to $15,089,490. Baker county has been inci eased from $1, 003.600 to $10,284,420. I-ane coun ty goes up from $22,000,920 to $28. 205.900.
