The Prineville Commercial Club undertook the task some weeks ago with the result that some ten large crates' of products, the best samples that could be gleaned from the large territory, covered, have been collected, and much of this is a the hands of the railroad . people at this time. Every farm in the territory cannot be visited, however, and much of the best stuff matures at widely different period, until the vtry best results can only be hai by the co oper ation of every producer. .Select the best grains and grasses you have, likewise vegetables and all such products, when they are ju-t about mature. Pull the grains, etc. up by the roots, put in a bundle as big as a binder bundle or bigger, tie the bunch securely and leave the sample at the Prine ville club rooms with your address and the, name of the variety, the length of growth, and whether irri gated or dry land grown.

Tha Driver Wu Puzxled. A negro and his truck were rap idly careening down the steep hill to the station. ' Crates and boxes were noisily bumping to the street, but a small nepro sat on the sum mit undisturbed by the rapidly ac cruing wreckage. Presently tiie driver pulled up at the station with a flourish, and, looking over his shoulder, his face became momen tarily transfixed with astonishment to note that a great portion of his load was missinr. Turning to the small negro, he demanded: "What's de matter wif yo' mouf, niggah? Hit wuks well 'nuff wen dey ain't no 'casion." Lippincott's Magazine. ELEPHANT LABORERS. Steriea That Are Told About Their Wondorful Clevernaa. In eatcrn countries elephants do wonderful work in the way of dntg pinjj and sorting timber and in breaking up obst ructions caused by liwp mid miscellaneous flotsam in streams. An Knglish army ollieiul says he has often watched the ele phants in a timber yard, and the human way in which they will test the weight of a lo requires to be seen to be credited. 'The tusker will lift up one end with his trunk, and if lie deems it within his power to lift the whole he will shift his trunk gradually until he gets to the exact center; then by kneeling down he will roll the log 08 to his tusks and will carry it either to be stacked or to the sawmill. On tea estates the elephants are occasionally employed to help in building construction by keeping the masons supplied with blocks of stone, and if the wall be not too high they will not only take the block up, bait lay it quite correctly in its proper place. A Ceylon ele phant used , regularly to lay stones in this way under the orders of an overseer, to whom he used to sig nal to inspect and "pass" the work done and to give permission for fresh courses to be laid. On one occasion the elephant placed himself against part of the nail, thus preventing the overseer from examining that part of the job. The hitter, however, insisted on the animal moving aside, and the elephant, seeing his ruse had failed, at once began to pull down the wall which he had just built and which he was quite aware was bad ly done at the very spot where he had tried to conceal it from the eye of his master. A liurmcse ship captain also tells a story of a female elephant which he, while anchored off the coast, freouentlv saw come out of the iun- What Could She Moan? i t iM"i1B :n the sea acenmna- "Your little birdie has been very, i.r vnllnter.
