Currey re ceived the following letter last week from Frank J. Bradley, former La Grande man, now living in Honolulu: -My daughter writes me that you are now city manager, and Dr. Brown- ton on the commission. My, my, what's the town coming to. But eay, accept congratulations. I was mighty glad to hear the news. Give them an administration that you'd like to be remembered by, and then when you turn things over to your successor come to Honolulu and be as near heaven as you are ever liable to get on this earth, of course.

But I heard a good story the other day that I must tell you. They had quite an electrical storm here sometime ago, one of the very few in the history of the islands. A couple had just retired and turned out the light, which was just above their bed. They were just asleep when the lightning struck the wire outside the house, followed it inside and followed it at the drop, passed down through the bed, taking off a portion of the lady's hair and fusing her hairpins. It then made a hole through the mat tress and through the top of a suit case that was under the bed, but there was no hole in the bottom of the suit case. When the man discovered the hole where the lightning went in and no hole where it came out, he said that for two hours ho "was afraid to open that suitcase for fenr the d d thing would get out and hurt somebody."

PATTISON BROTHERS GROCERY liuild the Roads for the People Representative Small of Union county has introduced a bill in the house requiring that 30 per cent of the state money to be provided for meeting federal aid in road building tie used for extending the Columbia highway through Eastern Oregon via. Arlington, Pendleton, La Grande and Baker.

The Eastern Oregon highway should lie built vhere it will be or the best service to the neonle of Eastern Oregon. This calls for con struction along the route indicated by Mr. Small mid by Senator Barrett. .Such a route would connect all the important Eastern Oregon towns and be of direct benefit to 100,001) peo ple or more. A road through unpop ulated Central Oregon could be of no service except to tourists and of doubtful use 'o them, as visitors in the state do not generally want to travel through the waste regions. litre's hoping the Eastern Oregon members of the legislature will stand together in seeing that the big land companies of the interior do not suc ceed in their plans for raiding the road fund.

Hart in "The Patriot.' sturdy little chap, when awakened ev ery half hour, would rub his eyes for a minute, until thoroughly alive to the work in hand, and be ready to go on with his part, notwithstanding that it was long past his usual bedtime. Francis' part is one of importance, but he is challenged for the glory by Master Stone, the other boy player. Georgie. too, has many "big scenes with Hart, principal among which are those which depict him, at the be ginning of the atory, in the patriotic act of lighting firecrackers on the doorstep of his father's shack in New Mexico on the morning of the Fourth of July. Discovering his father in the doorway, dressed in the unfiorm of an American soldier, Georgie, as "Little Hobs," in childish devotion asks: "Are you a 'sojer too?" and without waiting for r.n answer, stmts, with inimitable military dignity, to his side turns and, with shoulders squared and body rigid, salutes the Stars and Stripes. The scene is said to be un usually impressive. SHERRY'S j for money to go to heathen lands.
