Houston, Receives Postmaster Figures 'and Information Regard ing Savings "Department February, the shortest month in the -year, rolled up the largest increase in postal savings deposits in the history of the service, according to figures just made public by the Post Office Department. Over $5,000,000 was added to the savings of depositors, now numbering approximately 700,000 Scores of small postal banks took in more money than they Tiad accum ulated in any one year. Foreign-born depositors were especially active and their deposits ran larger than usual. Upwards of 80 per cent of the $121, 000,000 on deposit March 1st is own ed by this class. Postal station B of New York, located on the East Side made a gain in February of $115,000. This Station alone has $4,000,000 on " deposits -and is outranked only by New York City, Brooklyn, and Chicago. Its depositors are largely foreign born.. ' 'Twenty-two cities made gains of over $33,000 in February; New York gaining-fl,0r9,85l and Portland, Ore gon, $67,402. Newark, New! Jersey; SeaUlet Wn.; and Kansas City, Missouri, jumped into the, million-dollar class, of postal savings depository offices during the montht increasing the, number in this class to. sixteen: New York, Brook lyn, Chicigo, Detroit, Boston, Pitts burgh, Portland, (Oregon,) Philadel phia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Butte, San Francisco, Saint Louis, Newark, Seattle, and Kansas City (Missouri.) -The February increase in deposits was general throughout the country but some remarkable facts are dis closed by a careful analysis of the fi gures. For instance, the extreme northwestern and the extreme south eastern states showed the largest per centages of gain, for the month Wash ington, 18 per cent, and Florida, 11 per cent. Other states reporting par ticularly big gains were South Caro lina, 10 per- cent; Idaho, 9 per cent; Michigan, 9 per cent; Indiana, 8 per cent; New Jersey, 8 per cent; Wyom ing, 7 per cent; LouWawa, 7 per cent; and Arizona, Connecticut, Dele ware, Utah, Virginia, and Georgia, 6 per cent each. RIVERDALE, Oreg., March 20. E. E. Record had the misfortune to lose a fine Jersey calf Monday after noon. The little calf had an oppor tunity to jump into Shake river and proceeded to do so the water was cold, swift and deep and the. calr was quite young so it went to that coun try from whence no live, calves ever return. Water seems to have a charm ing or hypnotising effect on calves and thoy immediately proceed to in vestigate as is their custom in ev erything they see, however, a calf is usually hard to drown. Mr. Cox, who purchased the O. R. Smith place and moved here a few weeks ago from Nyssa, is making many improvements and is now pre paring to build a fine house soon. We are pleased that a number of new set tlers are locating hcrcwho have an ambition to make many desirable im provements and are doing so as fast as possible. No place will succeed until men wake up and do things worth while. N. F. Naffin is an early bird and has had tomato and cabbage plants ready for transplanting for a month but the weather has been unfavorable for gardening or farm operations but we are living in hopes it won't snow all summer. This has been a corker of a winter and everybody is ready and willing for it to let up for a While or until next December. Rube Cranor, of Cambridge, spent part of last week with his brother J. W. Cranor. He likes the upper coun try fine in summer and fall but it's rather uncomfortable in winter. R. J. Parker is building an addition to his house while the weather is too disagreeable to prepare for crops, but all the same farmers are mighty anx ious to get hold of the plow handles. The Ladies Progress Club met at the home of Miss Jennie Patch on the 13th and transacted their usual routine of business. The Club has done much good for this and Dead Ox Flat and we wish it the success it so much deserves. S P. E. Roberts, of Weiser, has had a full crew of men baling hay on the Flat for several days. We understand ho is shipping to Portland and of course receiving fancy prices. E. E. Record was recently elected a member on the board of school di rectors to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of J. W. Stoneman, who moved to Goodrich, the first of March. The cost of potatoes and many oth er things" in the way of living expens es, except butter and eggs, continues to climb and the farmer bears his full share of the burden, besides being blamed for conditions over which he has no control. If the town and city consumer could know the situation as it is they would no doubt look at it differently. As it is they pay any price the merchant asks for clothing to suit their fancy but when they have to pay a little out of the ordi nary for farm products it seems to give them a distaste for farmers, so they elevate their sanctimonious noses and look the other way. However, such is life in these rattling times. x m'k k hi m n ' n The Enterprise readers live in every nook and corner of Malheur, county and the-editor wishes' to make this page the clearing house for all the local news of thn county.

LUSCOMBE AT JAMIESON School Pupils Review Talk Given at School House Last Thursday by Rev. Luscombe of Vale. JAMIESON, Oreg., March 21. Rev. Luscombe delivered a talk to the Jamieson school last Thursday. The following is his talk as reproduced and condensed by the pupils. Well, boys and girls, I am very glad to have this opportunity to talk to you. 1 won't have many more chances for school will soon be out and I thank the Professor for these few minutes before recess. I-do not belive our work is entirely in vain.

He may watch it carefully all the season and it will not show any very rapid growth at first but when it is ready for harvest, he can easily see that his work has not been in vain. The right kind of a life nitty have great influence and cannot be hidden. Once a man died and was buried in a grave with cement around it. Now it chaUced that in that grave there vas an acorn which sprouted, gather ed nourishment, forced its way out, and grew into a mighty oak. Al though we may die, our good deeds and influence will grow and flourish long after we have been buried. I want to talk a little while on the danger signals of life. All the sig nals seem to say "beware, take heed, watch." The signals at the railroad crossing seem to speak these words to peoplo who cross the track, the block system embodies them and they are flashed from the red light of the breakman's lantern .through the dark est nignt. ivrnmais Know .many dan ger signals. Tho.rflb.bit, with his won derful hearing, will get, out of. the wajr when he, .hears the hunters tread, or the scraping .of his clothes on the brush, or the crushing of the crusted snow, or the breaking "of a twig; these arc his dangpr signals. Other animals have similar signals which they heed, The main danger signal for a boy is his conscience. You can't sco your conscience but it tells you many things. You can't see love, yet a young man will walk eight mUes at night through tho snow and stumbling over stamps and into wire fences all for love which he cannot see. It is folly to say there is no conscience be cause we never saw it. It would be just as sensible to say that we had no brains because we never saw them. Now when we do a good deed our conscieiico makes us feel like we had a $100 bill in our pockets, but when we do some mean thing we feel like 30c, or feel like a dog looks when he has been whipped for killing sheep. Our conscience tells Us, "watch, be ware, take heed." When we are about to" do some good deed our conscience says 'go ahead") When we are" about to do to some' one Ybat we would not have them do' to usour c&nscience says "beware." We all love beautiful flowers and a good life is just like a beautiful white lily. A clear conscience is the safest signal of all and to get a clear con science, take heed, beware, watch, and shun what the conscience says is wrong, Be a man at all times. BROGAN, Oreg., March 21. Flf .een cars of sheep .consigned to Will Jamieson, came in on Tuesday after- loon as on extra. Mr. Jamieson will lake them up near Cow Volley to be fed until grazing is all right. Dave Logan vaccinated 250 head of cattle last Sunday, taking precautions against blackleg. His cattle and oth ers In tho vicinity, are sure looking fine. Harry Antrobus says pigs arc a paying proposition. One of his regis tered Duroc-Jerseys had a litter of 18 pigs, and is raising 13 of them. They sure are some pigs. Floyd Hamstreet took his eye to Ontario to see the doctor last Friday. He got a small sliver of steel in the eye, and. it was bothering him quite a bit Floyd hrought his eye homo on Monday and reported that tho eye was teeimg better.
