Imbler, June 13. (Special) Mrs,
Myrtle Larsen and hor mother, Mr.
Clark are here from Monument, Ore.,
where Mrs. Larsen held a position as
nrimarv teacher during the last vear.
They intend spending a month with,
friends here and in Elgin and then go
ing to Montana. Mrs. Larsen will re
turn to Monument in September as
the school board have re-elected her
as primary teacher. . i
Summer is here. Even the hens
realize it, a biddy on the A. F. Wil
son farm, realizing that hot weather
was upon us, selected the refrigerator 1
as a proper place .to lay, so as to :
have the eggs in cold storage. j
John Wells has remodeled his ranch '
home by adding a room and verand.i
and plumbing the building for hot
water, bath, etc. Mr. Wells is also
planning to make use of the electric
line which passes near his home.- I
John Wells, 'Jr., is in Portland for
the Rose show. .Later he will visil
other points in western Oregon, in
cluding Monmouth, where his sister
Mary is finishing a year's normal
work. Miss Wells will teach at Red
Pepper, her homo school next year.
Carpenter work on the Hull prop - '
erty is nearly finished. '
Miss Edna Martin left Wednesday
for Monmouth, where she will attend
the normal during the summer, and
probably the next year. , . '
Fishing; licenses are being taken out
by local fly artists.
The fall wheat is growing rapidly
and will soon be heading out. Some
spring wheat sowing vcs delayed by j
rains and as a result the acreage is
smaller. The recent high water flood-,
ed many fields in tho river bottom i
section- and entirely prevented their''
cultivation for any summer crops.
Local baseball fans witnessed thnir,
first shut-out game of the season
when La Grande was defeated in a j
15-0 game Sunday afternoon. Thoj
game was one-sided except in the sec
ond and third, Hendricks striking out'
three men durintr the two innings and j
Bell ditto. As the game proceeded
and Imbler kept piling up scores thn 1
Lia wanders seemed to. loose conn
dence and the local boys pounded out
two home runs and five three-baggers.
La Grande shifted Hendricks in the
seventh and tried out a new pitcher
but Bell had easy work, striking out
16 men, and the La Grande pitcher
earning 10 strike outs. La Grande
took her defeat good naturedly nnd
throughout the entire game there was
very little contention. Glenn unpired
the batting and Anderson the bases.
A number of errors were made by
both teams and there was very little
spectacular playing outside of the hits
obtained by the flmbler boys. Very
few men obtained bases on balls, but
several men reached first by being hit
by pitched balls, Larsen, of Imbler be
ing knocked down by a ball coming
in contact with his head and one La
Grande man (Cook) was hit twice.
. A local tennis tournament was
pulled off on the Dr. Moore court Sun
day morning. About fifteen players
came out and several sets were
played.

T
HUMAN VISION.
FaraicM, Nright and Method In
- Testing theyes. ,
, Fursigut or ueurslght whlclr is bet
ter? We must remember that lie who 1
has unusually acute vision for objects
at 11 great distance can rarely thread a i
ueedlo or reud small print without j
glasses, whflo tho person whoso near ,
vision is so acuto as to serve uiai al-
most like a microscope sees dlstunt ob
jects as a blurred innss.
Tho Medical Record comments on
"how little Is known as to the extent
of vision of the fnrslghted and still less
of the nearsighted." We have two eyes
in order that our vision may be stereo
scopic, and It is thus that we are ablo
to Judge of the relative distances of ob
jects, and It brlugs a greater field be
fore the retina at one tune, but the
sight of two eyes is no keener than
that of one. "Indeed, if there be re
quired a greater Intensity in a given
field it is a natural tendency to obscure
the vision of one eye." That la why
most women close one eye when thread
ing a Que needle and why men in firing
a riflo at a target shut one eye.
The Medical Record doubts the value
of uniform tests for eyesight, urging
that tests be made in relation to defi
nite occupations. For example, a very
nearsighted man would be totally inca
pacitated from work In. the field of
transportation, yet admirably fitted for
such work as engraving. A very far
sighted mau, on the other hand, who
would be utterly useless as a proof
reader or a gem setter, might be a
prize as a field surveyor, a forest rang
er or oven a locomotive engineer.
"Many misfits," says tho Medical
Record, "can be prevented by deter
mining the kind of occupation the in
dividual will bo best fitted for. In the
last analysis it should bo the aim to
educate the vision one has to greater
powers by calling to aid all sources of
orientation to educate and train vis
ual perception so that one may per
ceive moro of the objects within the
field of one's vision."
HIGHEST DAM IN THE WORLD.
Difficulties Overcome In Building the
Arrowrock, In Idaho.
The dam Is hullt In a narrow, precip
itous canyon, through which the turbu
lent Boise river races. Its name is
gained from a gigantic rock lu that
canyon, tho .Arrowrock, which had
won its nnuio from the custom ojf tho
roving Jmllnns, who shot arrows into
the face of It to tell . their comrades
which way they hnd traveled. By (he
angle of the arrow the late comers
knew whether those In advance had
gone up stream or down or up one of
tho many tributaries.
The construction of the dam com
menced in 1011, although much prelim
inary and preparatory work hnd been
done before Mint, the most Important
being that of diverting the river from
tho site of the dam while tho building
was in progress. This was done by
cutting a tunnel through tho canyon
walls for COO feet nnd turning tho
river through that This tunnel was
largo enough to carry the river at its
highest flood and was lined with ce
ment When tho dum was finished the
tunnel was plugged with solid cement
Ip order to reach solid rock on which
to anchor the dam foundation It was
necessary to go down ninety-one feet
below the normal bed of the river. No
less tlian 225,000 cubic yards of soil
and gravel were removed to lay bare
this bedrock.
The dam as finished Is 348 feet high,
240 feet thick at the bnsc, tailoring to
sixteen feet at the top, where there is
a fine driveway, lighted at night with
artistic electric lamps. The length of
the dam is 1,000 feet, curving grace
fully upstream with a radius of 602
feet. In its eonstructlon630,000 cubic
yards of cement were used, sufficient
to make a column ten feet square and
twenty-seven miles high. J. V. Strat

Official Ignoranea.
One of the best of tho many stories
of English official ignorance of the col
onics Is recalled by JV A. Silburn in
"The Governance of Empire." Lord
Palmcrston was forming a new minis
try and in a prellmlnury council was
arranging its composition, tlo had
filled up all the portfolios with the ex
ception of the colonlnl olllce. First one
name and then another was suggested
and thrown aside. At hist he said to
Sir Arthur Helps: "I suppose I must
take the thing myself. Come upstairs
with mo ami show me where these
places are on the maps."
Where Gannets Swarm.
One of the most remnrknblu sights In
the world is Bird Island. In South Af
rica, for the rcnson that during some
months of tho year It Is lift-rally cov
ered with gunnots. Not a foot of ground
Is to bo seen anywhere. Day after day
thousands of gnnncts strut around, nml
they are so closo to eaeh other that the
whole Island seems uctunlly nllve.
Those who have seen this sight say
that It Is 0110 which can never, bo for
fottcn. Harboring Pain.
A Japanese proverb says, "When you
Jake poison don't lick the pinto." How
much happier a place tho world would
