Dallas; Tex. Feb. 29. Mayor Henry
D. Lindsley celebrated his tonth birth
day today. Ho would be 44 years
old had he been born one day earlier.
As it is, ho has a birthday only onco
every four years, and 1!)00 being a
centennial year he had none from
1896 to 1904. It was chiefly through
Mayor Lindsley's influence that Dal
las made the $100,000 offer for the
Democratic national convention.

j banquets and booster meetings have
i squirted Bitulithic jole juice to my
I people until some of them dream at
j night that they are going eighty miles
an hour over a beautiful paved road
i in a Winton Six. 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. A committee well
chosen to nurse ithe child through the
vicissitudes of life and guard its lit
tle footstcos. but who is to furnish
sufficient food for the baby? Yes,
ves. ves. mv people call it Taxes I
I understand that is not the imported
name.
"I have always heard the saying
'wise as an oi.' Would you mind
telling me why these conclusions?"
"Yes, yes, yes. 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. I
could -tell them but I don't like to butt
if I can help it."
