City Manager Fred B. 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. While you
are shivering and tramping around in
the slush, I am writing this before a
wide open door with the sun just peep
ing up over the hills, ana am just
comfortable in my shirt sleeves.
The boat goes to the coast this
morning and I'll not have time to
write much but if you'll just acknowl
edge the receipt of this ,so 111 know
that you've survived the dignity of
your high position, Til try again. 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."

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

M m. S. 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.
