Excursion Hates. Portland, Oregon, Doc. 24, 11)02. Editor Crook County Journal. Dear Sir: As you are doubtless aware, the National Livestock Association holds its next annual mooting in Kansas City, January 13 10th ; inclusive. Oregon wants the con vention to meet with them in Port land in 1904, and with this in view ' a strong delegation will attend the Kansas City meeting for the pur pose of securing this date for Port land. We have bean assured by stockman from various sections of the United States and Canada that they would gladly consider such a proposition, and we believe an earnest co-operative effort would eucceep in inducing such action on their part. In order to be properly equipped for this contest we desire as large representation from Oregon -as it may be Vossihle to secure, and knowing your interest in these matters and desire to further the welfare of our state, and believing that you fairly appreciate the im portance of bringing this large con vention of representative business men to Oregon, have to ask that you will place the matter before your readers in such a manner as shall procure their attendance on this occassion. The railroads have made a rate of $60 from Portland, 155 from Pendleton,. to Kansas City and re tnm, tickets good for thirty days. A side trip has been arranged from Kansas Citv to New Orleans, via Two Resolutions That Failed 1 EUSa ASMST80N0 BENG0U0H. 'OU were going to gire your hastand t lovwjr surprise for New Year's; do tell me how it turned out!" Mid the bride's friend. "Did you carrg out jrour inteu tionf "X did. and I can safely say that I will new give him another surprise as long at 1 live. You see, he had resolved not to lose his temper or complain about anything about the home for the entire year.- 1 was so pleased that I wanted to do something awfully nice in return. Finally, I decided to become a model housekeeper, and, by way of showing the depth of my resolve, I decid ed to cook his New Year's dinner my self." "H'm, perhaps it was as well that he did resolve to keep his temper for an Memphis, at a cost of $15 for tl round trip. Those wishing to attend should notify me as early as possible, stating whether or not they require sleeping car space, in order that same may be provided. If you are in hearty accord with this move ment will you not kindly give us your co-operation. Yours very truly, C. J. Mellis, Secretary. Boaansa tn Salt. MV. H. McCall, who has been hauling stock salt from his salt marsh to Bailey & Massingill and Avers, Witlworth & Ayers, has a veritable bonanza in the salt busi ness, says the Lakeview Examiner, He has taken about 260,000 pounds of salt off his salt marsh this year, and expects to take off 100,000 more yet this fall. There is very little cost in getting the salt, Three men can pile up 100,000 pounds in a week, and then all there is to be done is to sack, weigh and haul to market. The salt is delivered to Lakeview for 14 cents. In an ordinary year 500,000 pounds can be taken off the marsh, and in a dry year there is much more. Last year there was estimated to be fully 800,000 pounds. The salt marsh has been known and used by the Lake stockmen for a dozen years, and it was only last year that Mr. McCall fiWd on the marsh. The salt is much better and purer than that usually found in salt marshes, as the little lake is fed by salt springs. Six gallons of the water when boiled, will make four gallons of fine pure table salt. Mr. Hays will put up a small evaporating plant next sea son, and if it works satisfactorily will put up a large plant and furn ish this whole section with salt. The stock salt is much better taken out in large chunks as it forms in the bottom of the lake when the water evaporates in the Bummer. Mr. McCall thinks his salt marsh is worth more to him than his stock ranch, including his 2000 head of sheep. It certainly is. it " 4 FRANK BONNEY, RESTAURANT AND BAKERY MEALS AT ALL HOURS.

I decided on a menu of six courses, and spent ten days in looking up the recipes for it and studying them. Unfortunate.?, the exertion made me so tired that 1 be came mentally upset and was apt to con fuse a recipe for Italian cream with one for creamed lobster, and they are very, very ditlerent. However, when New Year's day really came and darry said that he must apend the greater part of it at the office going wet his account, I felt that success was sure." "By the way, haven't you a good cook? And didn't you let her help and advise you?" "She wanted to, but I told her that she needed a holiday and must take it while I got the dinner. Sae then confessed that she didn't want to go out txc-tuse her beau was coming to see her and wouid be ofiendtd if she was out. I told her that made no difference; that what you did on Sew Year's day you did the year round and if she did not work on that day she M'ould doubtless be married to a million aire and living a life of luxurious idleness within six months." "Humph. D'd she go then?" "She did. Then I set to work, and, oh, bow I did work, but somehow nothing was well, quite like the pictures in the household magazines. The odor of thing burning, too, became so strong that Lie man from next door a perfet-.-nt ranger came over to see if the house was on lire and if he could be of any use." "Well, luckiiy, you could air the whole place thoroughly before Harry came home. "I did. By noon I had cooked enor.glt to feed a regiment dinner was to be a; three but somehow it did not seem very appetizing, so 1 decided to have only four courses; that was a more economical din ner for a young couple aiiyaow. When Harry arrived, promptly at tnree, I was all ready and trying to look as if I feit cool and hide the two burned and one cut finger. I had decided that three courses were enough for anybody save a glutton, by that time." "Well, I am sure that everything was very nice. "It well, it was not quite perfect; I had forgotten to (tuff the chickens and I had put fait in the cranberries instead 01 sugar, but that was mere detail, for the table locked lovely with all my bet linen, embroideries, silver, glass and china on it. As I wanted to surprise him thoroughly, I did not tell him that I had cooked it myself I meant to tell him that at the very last." "As a sort of postscript to the dessert. How nice!" "M'hm. Well, though he had said be was wildly hungry, he did not eat just played with things. He kept starting to speak, too, and then shutting his mouth tight without saying a word. Something was wrong with the coffee, though I had put in twice as much as the cook book said. As he set down his cup, well, rather more forcefully than was quite necessary, he said: 'Well, dear, it is New Year's day, and I have resolved not to lose my temper for an entire year, but I must say one thing: the girl who cooked that dinner must be dismissed before to-morrow's sun is up. A woman who would give a hungry man underdone chicken, overdone potatoes and asbcs'os pie, would be capable of murdering us in our beds!' " "Oh, well, you need never tell bim that you cooked that dinner." "I didn't tell bim, but he undertook "It often mad! my heart nrht" I writes L. C. Orerstreec, of Kl-in.,0 "charge tbe cook, and sbs didl" Tenn., "to hear my wife rough until it seemed her weak nnd tune luiix would collapse.
