Pumpkins Versus Squashes A Crisis and a Compromise ir.ENEZKIl 81NOI.ETON and Sarah Jane Scott were lovers, but parted because they couldn't agree about the earths motion around the sun. and each wedded a new sweetheart. A few years passed, and Sarah's husband and Ebenezer'a wife died within a month of each other, and afterward Sarah lived alone, mid so did Ebenezer. They had thus lived for nearly two years w heu Kate stepied In to work her will. Next door to the widow was a vacant lot, the owner of which lived a hundred miles away. Her garden was a smau one, 8Dd the idea occurred to ber to rent the vacant lot that Bhe might raise more vegetables. , . , One day In passing along the street Ebenezer Singleton cast his eyes upon that vacant lot. It needed only a front and back fence to inclose it. and there was a spot for n flue garden. He would write to the owner and secure it It was next door to the widow, who as a girl had opposed his belief and defied his opinion, but that need not make any difference with either of them. Ebenezer w rote to tbe man who owned the lot, and the reply was that he might go ahead. The widow wrote to l ii lC l, m hi' 1 '4 'I" H .Mi l ' I!"" .IfcTte,; i ' ' ii , : lu ' -1 N i i i i.. If.' ''i-Kia'C F. . -J a " 1 il'rt m it Tha East Half and tha Wast Half. the wife of the man who owned the lot. and sbe was told to go ahead. Therefore each one went ahead. Ebe nezer got a load of fencing on the ground first, but he was only three or four hours ahead of the widow. He wns on Uie spot when ber fencing carae up, and when she came out he asked: "What is your fencing for?" "To fence fn tills lot," was the reply. "But so is nilue. I have rented it." "So have I." said the widow, "and 1 have got a letter to prove it." Ebenezer also had a letter. And what was going to be done In the matter? 7t was finally agreed that each should build a fence and each to have half the lot. Ebenezer was inordinately fond of pumpkin pies. It was not atrange, therefore, that be planted his half tha lot with pumpkin seeds. The widow was Just as fond or winter gquasnes, ana, ns wns to be expected, she planted her half with the seeds of this vegetable. When the vines began to run Ebeuesser's pumpkin vines begau to gallop over iinioug tbe squashes, and the squashes Invaded the enemy's territory. The middle of that lot for twenty feet each way of the line was a mixed up mass of pumpkin and squash vines. One morning after a night's warm rain, which uutde every vine grow tureo feet longer, the widow and Ebenezer stood surveying the strange confusion. Sbe w as the first lo speak, and she said: Will you please remove your pumpkin vines from my land?" 'I wa? Just about to nsk the same question," replied Ebeiiexcl. There wns only one way to do to go over and see Mr. li.ings. the Justice of the peace, und have him decide what was to be done. "Well." said the J. P., after gathering nil the particulars, "this is not a case for law. A pumpkin vine will run where ll pleases despite the owners of the laud, and a squash vine will do the same thing. My advice to you Is er urn" Ebenezer and the widow both held their breath. "Is er inn," continued the J. P., "If It was my case I should let my half of the lot marry the other half and thus get rid of I lie vexed questiou of ownership and make the pumpkins and the squashes behave themselves. Ebenezer did not advance an obstinate opinion, r.ml the widow seemed to think it was a reasonable solution of the dithViiily. Therefore before tbe pumpkin vines bad quite reached the back end 'of the lot and the squash vines reurhed the front fence of it there was n inarriaKi and a feast at which pumpkin and squash pies played a prominent pan.

The Portland Cham ber of Commerce, which stands at the head of the businessmen's organization of the state, recently endorsed the measure proposing a Normal School at Pendleton in a resolution, giving the following reasons: "We believe that Kastern Oregon la reasonable in Its demands that such a school be located east of the Cascade mountains, hence we recommend its location at Pendleton as the most logi cal for the following reasons: "First, it is a city of some size, hav ing an enrollment of over 1.000 grade pupils.
