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.

Name Registrar in Rural Precincts
Kelso, Wash, Dec. 9. The county

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every em

rubbing required it drives the pain
away. It is really wonderful. .

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

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.
