They toll my people ! they arc richer when they pay $3.00 i tax in place of $1.00 on their same property, if my people will only do ! what they tell them. They tell- my I'onle they must have beautitul paved roads from La Grande to Union, from La Grande to Cove and ' from La Grande to Elgin;" that these roads can be built for about $10,000 a mile. I am convinced that when all the A BOUTS are hung to it, it will not be loss than S13.000 a mile, and I hear I imuch talk by some of my people that i a County bond of $.')!)0,000.00 or $100, ! 000.00 will build it. Any one of my school boys or girls can tell the fact that such oronosed roads would not cost less than $800,000.00 and leave my people to dream about the interest. It is surprising what a beautiful child can be made of County Road Bonds." "Well, Mr. Owl, you have your com mittee." "Yes. ves. ves.

I have no secrets that I keep from my people if they will accept my teachings. For, lo, these many years I have set on my perch on Mount Emily in .the evening with my left foot on my perch and imy middle toe of my right foot in my ear. When men were at the banquet table, well filled with the bounties of your beautiful Willamette valley, and when they were well filled with old wine, by my owl wireless I hear and know much I have not told you. You know in that bautiful suite of offices in the Journal Building where there is much that is not intended for my ear, I have a special invisible wire." "Well, Mr. Owl, dav is breaking and I must fly back to Crown Point and sharpen my claws. They seem a lit tle dull." "Well, good bye, and the very best will of my people go with you to the metropolis. The next time you come, call on me and I will be glad to tell you how my people can and will make good dirt roads in imy beautiful valley Now, as the sun is coming over Eagle Cap, I must fly away to my roost in the garret of Ed. Hughes' barn." "No doubt, you live fat on Ed's chickens." "Oh. no. no. no. Ed and Ruth are of my people. They attend to their own business. I would not harm my neople. "Then, pray, how do you live?" "I live well. I catch moles, goph ers and ground squirrels in Ed's gard en and sometimes when I feel that l should have a change I catch an ira ported China Pheasant or quail. There are a few left which the game hogs from the .towns have not got yet. Good-bye. When you get to the me tropolis, be sure and go up to the oT- flce and tell the paving king the next time he comes up to be sure and tell my peonle exactly what he wants.
