A Public Library A house where dead men live and give counsel to the living who came to them humbly Tho wise dead, the mighty dead, those who loved, those who hated, they are all grouped together. They are all in this house, and the spell of silence is upon them. Only when one of their own kind comes, awesome-eyed and true only then is the ban lifted, And they talk with him mightily as only great souls can talk with great souls. As only kinsmen talk with kinsmen. Mary Carolyn Davics, in the Survey Never in the sistory of Eastern Oregon rabbit drives have La Grande sportsmen had the time they did yes terday on the lelocaset plains. About 40 from La Grande with several from outlying points, went to North Pow der .on the morning train and there tne unstinted hospitality of the North Powder Rod & Gun club began. Teams hauled the hunters " to the plains and there careful organization took place. The men, considerably over 100 in all, marched as skirmish ers, keeping a straight line. The con stant rattle of shotgun was not only deafening but such as to lay low 2000 rabbits. Men on horseback and driv ers with wagons followed the bom bardment line picking up some of tho choicest victims. About 1000 rabbits were brought back to North Powder. At noon, coffee, sandwiches, pie and a lot of other good things to eat were served at the expense of the host club on the field. Banquet Some Banquet. But to top this off, the gerat bie treat of the day was the banquet served at night by the North Powder sportsmen to the guests. Served in style, iant oddles ol it, the tired and hungry hunters ate up chicken, mince pies, gravy, salads, sauces and a line of food fit for kings. After the elab orate (banquet it wasn't a little feed it was a great big banquet, if you please the La Granders were treated to a movie party. Around the street corners today the big day on the plains and the big, whole-hearted hospitality of North Powder are still the main topics. Fat Man Has Chance. "The inconvenience of the driver has to a great extent been eliminated by the installation of adjustable in dividual front seats," state A. G. Sei berling, general manager of the llaynes Automobile company, Koko mo, Indiana. "The groat problem of the auto mobile manufacturer has been until recently, the arrangement of the front seats, so that convenience and comfort should be accorded the driver, who in most cases is not considered. This has been solved to a great ex tent by the installation of the ad justable individual front seats. Now the man whose anatomical construc tion is a trifle oversize can enjoy driving as well as the thin or aver age sized man, by simply adjusting a little bolt and sliding the seat back giving plenty of body room and in cidentally more comfort. "Changing of seats ' between the passengers in the rear seat with the front seat passenger is made pos sible by this division between seats without the bother and inconvenience of leaving the car. "The front seat passenger is also accorded more comfort, being re moved from, the interference of gear shift. "In the working of the one-man top this opening becomes a convenience in putting up the top, making it un necessary to clime- over the seats. "Added space is also gained, mak ing it nossible to carry a suit-casa or other luggage in the opening be tween the seats. MANY CHILDREN HAVE WORMS Worms are a common childhood ailment.

Mrs. Ethel Coope McKenzio, born in California, whose right of suffrage was taken from her by the supreme court of the United States on the ground that as Pain is a visitor to every home and usually it comes quite unexpectedly. But you are prepared for every em ergency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's Lininmcnt handy. It is the greatest pain killer ever discov ered. Simply laid on the skin no rubbing required it drives the pain away. It is really wonderful. . Mervin H.

Baker, Dec." 11.- Not more than. 15 per cent of liquid is allowed in oysters retailed to customers, accord ing to a new Oregon statute, but Percy MiHer, an employe of the Smith Meat market was not aware of this fact, according to a comnlaint filed by District Sealer of Weights and Measures Yeager, who alleges that the liquid proporiton was excessive. Miller was brought before Justice of the Peace Hubbard this afternoon. but denied that the oysters were not sold in accordance with the law. His hearing has not been set. A. B. Hoggett, an employe of the Baker Packing Co., was hailed into justice court this morning charged with selling oysters from a short measure. He procured a measure meeting with Mr. Yeager's approval, paid $4.50 costs and the case was continued indefinitely. ORIGIN OF THE J'YANKS." Joseph Resident Explains How Lake Fish Were Planted. John Hayes, the Joseph pioneer, thinks he May know something of the origin of the "yanks," the peculiar fish for which the lake is famous, says the Record-Chieftain. If he could have a little talk with S. A. Heckathorn, founder (and first pub lisher of the Wallowa Chieftain, Mr. Hayes feels"1ie might settle the pointy definitely. A About 30 years ago, before Mr. Hayes was married, the office of the Chieftain in Joseph was & favorite loafing place. He used to Jielp Mr. Heckathorn fold iha sisted in other jabs within his ability. ou ne ana ine pioneer editor became good friends. One daV Mr. TWlaathnvn raaU,nA in a glass jar half a dozen or so live nan ui a new variety. They wero Kent, in the nrinfimv AfW.a -rn days and then the two men concluded they would take them to the lake and release thpm M. train.. ..i - , , , , WVll forgot the whole matter. ' remaps ten years later the yanks" began to appear in the lake. They had been unknown earlier, and" in fact never wera fnnnH in to attract notice until about fifteen years ago. as Mr. Hayes came to the county and to Joseph in 1879 he is fully qualified to give testimony on fishing in the lake in early days, and to tell when the "yanks" first became numerous. After the new fish had made themselves known, Mr. Hayes rcaalled those few -specimens he and Mr. Heckathorn had turned into, the lake so many years before, and he still thinks it altogether pos sible they may have been the first stock from which the present num erous progeny have been produced.
