tion of a County High School.
Crook county needs an institution
of learning where our girl and
boys may obtain the best educa
tion and culture which can be pro
vided. May all who are interested
in the higher education of young
men and women, by their vote and
influence help establish an institu
tion that will put sh;rs in their
crowns after they "rest from their
labors." Plant this tree now and
future generations that eat of this
fruit will rise up and call you
blessed. And we hope the time is
rapidly approaching when our
higher educational interests will be
a source of pride to the people of
this county. '
Lamonta promises to do some
hustling this year. More improve
ments are promised for the summer
than have ever been made. It be
gins to look as if Lamonta intends
to try to keep puce with the farm

taking steps toward free rural mail
delivery. Rural free delivery
places the producer in daily touch
with the world's markets. The
time has now come when the suc
cessful farmer must study crop sta
tistics, gathered from all parts of
the world; the supplies, surplus,
and deficiencies and crop prospects
of comiiiK harvest, etc. No indif
ferent method will serve the pro-
! cressive farmer of today. A sue-
cessful man in auv occupation
makes his business a study. He
thinks, plans and reasons and his
mind never loses sight of opportu-
I mttes. It seems that Lamonta
jkoes not intend that any part cf
time. Numerous barn wiro tele
phone systems have been installed

the other farmers in this commun

ci.imtv in the stale of Washington
is becoming a regular network of
barb wire telephones. The farm
bouse without telephonic commun
ication e.tber with its nearest
neighbor or with its outlying barns,
is be o. me a rarity. Insulation is
unknown to the Palonser. He
st rings an ordinary telephone wire
from his bouse to the barb wire
fence that runs in the direction he
wants his telephone to go, splice
the two wires and the work is done.
An instrument connecting by splic
ing r.t each end of the barb wire is
that is necessary, and to meet
the demand several local dealers
in electrical supplies have laid in
telephone apparatus.

Haw Mt. 11 (Mid In Eruption.
And now eometh an old pioneer
of this coast, W. K. Courtney, who
infoims a reporter of the Walla
U alia Union that be saw Mt.IIood

"The erupnoii to.ik place during
the latter pari of Sepiembcr, ISo'J.
A party of u were bringing band
of cattle across the Cascades bv
wav of tbo old Harlow route. The
night the old mountain fl ircd up,
we were camped on what is known
as Tygh Ridge, about thirty-five
miles from M. Hood. The rube
s very high and the night in qi e -tion
was chill v with a stiff breeze
blowing. Fearing that our stock
would take it into their heads to
bolt into the diirk, guards wero
placed over them during the night.
I. was about 1 :30 o'clock in the
D oming, another man and myself
vere watching the animals. I was
facing the old mountains when
suddenly the heavens lit up and
from the dark peak there shot a
column of fire. With a flash that
illuminaten the whole mountain
side with a pinkish glare, the flame
danced from the crater. Suddenly
it sank from sight. For two hours
us we watched the mountain con
tinued to blaze at irregular inter
vals and when morning came Mt.
Hood presented a peculiar sight.
"His sides where the day before
there was snow, were blackened as
if cinders nnd ashes had been
thrown out, but aside from that
nothing appeared to be wrong and
I do not believe any damage resul
ted. That was the only time that
I ever saw flames issue from the
crater but. 1 was a member of a
party at one time when we en
countered hot cinders on the
mountain sides'. ,
