OLD FASHIONED "NICK" If you do not believe that histoi-y is reapeating itself and that we are returning; to those good old ' day when agriculture was looked upon as essential, listen to this: ' Today the postman brought to the , .Observer office a large mail sack and left it. Wondering what in the world this -sack could contain we opened it and found that Nick Sinnott, con-, gressman from the Second Oregon district, had sent an enormous invoice of garden seeds with a request that they he distributed among the "peo ple," not particularly the voters who saw fit to honor Nick wjth his job, but to the "people." Of course we will do as directed and as soon as the snow goes off and the mercury begins to dance around a comfortable point come in and tell ' us whether you want to raise radishes! lettuce, turnips, etc., and we will fit you out with the seed at the same time conveying to you the compli ments of the congressman. J CHARLEY'S CLUB. ' Charles A. Johns, of Portland twice candidate for the gubernatoria, nomination in Oregon, hus started a Republican dub. ' Now we like Char ley Johns. Ho is a fine gentleman, but when it comes to politics Charley , is as unsophisticated as. the Arkansas young lady who still dm snuff. In the preamble to the petition it is recited that tho mission of the club it to bring all factions of the Republi can party together. We, supposed they were together, for a few stand patters read all tho progressives ou of the party in Oregon in 1912, forced them to orgonizo a Progressive party against the better judgment of muny.

Chicago, Jan. 18. How to make wooden railroad ties last for a hund red years wns discussed today by mem bers of the American Wood Preserves association. Dead Horse Profitable. John Day, Jan. 15. How fill iimmr. ently useless horse can be turned inin a money maker in addition to watrin war against the coyote pest, has been demonstrated by J. C. Oliver and sons count of predatory animals and more particularly.'; tne coyote. Herman. Oliver, foreman, hearing of the suc cess of the method of poisoning intro duced as an experiment by the U. S. Forest service, determined to try it out. . He selected a favorable spot near the home ranch, killed an old horse for bait and scattered the poison in tine manner specified and awaited re sults. To date the set has been made iiui. iu exceea enree weeKs and he has been successful in taking 17 coyotes. With the $3 bounty and an addi tional $2.50 for the hide it brings the total of $5.50 for each coyote or a grand total of $93.50, which is con sidered a very good price for tho horse, so Mr. Oliver thinks, outsido of the fact that ho has also prevented further loss to the flocks by ridding the hills of these predatory beasts.
