He is capable of giving better service than we, and we have no doubt he will do so. Mr. Cheney has gone east for his family, consisting of a wife and two little sons, but expects to return about the first of the year and assume active euuoriai and busiuess uauuuwl. We desire at this time to sincere ly thank all subscribers, patrons and other friends of the paper, and our personal friends, without whose aid we could not have made what some are good enough to term a success out of the paper, and we ask that the same aid and loyalty be extended to our successor, Mr. Cheney ' THE ENTERPRISE PRESS, H.

Until my return Mr. H. A Galloway, will continue as editor and manager of the Record Chieftain, and I am pleased to state that Miss S.

La Grande, Oregon, November 22, 1911. . CITY COUNCIL OP LA GRANDP, OREGON. By C. Ml HUMPHREYS. Recorder of the city of La Grind?, Oregon. Spot In Wales. Those who travel through strange places with their eyes and their ears open are likely to make strange discov eries, but there are plenty of other finds which, simply as a delight to the senses and without any wonder or cu riosity attending them, are well worth the trouble of trying to forget one's preoccupation - la what he aeea and hears. Both these pleasures of travel come to those who will fare slowly and ob servlngly through the Vale of the Wye In Wales. It seems almost like a chap ter from some magnificent Apocalypse to travel on to Cader and Plynlimon and glimpse the Imposing grandeur of the visions that await the appreciative eye. Half of Wales seems to lie before tbe traveler. The mountains of tbe Cader range loom loftily, and Snow don, of the lakes, seems to beckon him on. The long headland of Carnarvon hugs half a sea In the crook of Its arm. Pembroke's ragged ' capes gleam be yond tbe lovely mountainous heights. No sound breaks tbe vast silence. You are shut off from the bustling world. Tbe hawk circles in a noiseless' void above the slopes whitened with graz ing sheep. For a moment there may be the feeble pipe of the wbeatear, and for another brief space a lark may lilt praise to heaven. But that Is all. Philadelphia North American. Chinese Quesr Ways. Difficulties of census work among Chinese are amusingly illustrated by the British commissioner at Weihalwel In his report "A Chinese child at birth is said to be one year old," be writes, "and after It bas passed one new year it Is said to be two years old. Thus a child if born In tbe last month of the year may be said to be two years of age before It is thirty days old according to European reckoning. A child of eighteen months' time of life since birth Is reckoned by Chinese to be either two yenrs or three years old, this depending on whether it was born In the first or second half of the year. It is common for a Chinese mother to give a son the name of a girl, presum ably to deceive the fates, it being con sidered easier to bring up a girl. .There are many large undivided families in Weihalwel. The largest is that of a widow named Meng Yu Shlh, whose family consists of sixty-six, which, with one servant makes sixty-seven mouths to tbe common meal." .mi-mm to the tote:: J I hereby announce to th3 vo' -: s J S of La Grande that I em a taaJi- 2 date for chief of police.

Mr. Browning himself once told me how Important and Interesting he thought It that the young should have, as It were.iandmarks in their lives by at least seeing great men who belong ed to an earlier generation. "Once." he said. "I was walking In the streets of Paris with my son. who was then a little boy. We saw an old man approaching us in a long, loose, rather shabby coat and with a stoop ing, shuffling attitude and gait Touch that man as you pass him.' I whisper ed, to my little son. 'I will tell you why afterward.' The child touched him as be passed, and I said to blm, 'Now, my boy, you will always be able to remember In later years that you 3nce saw and touched the great Beran ger.'
