Iliggius Went north w as hoeing one April morning when three rough look ing men climbed the fence and crossed the field to him. They bad Just been shipwrecked, they said, on the brig Maria. Tbey had lost even their clothes. Would Iliggius help them? Iliggius Wentworth looked closely Into the sailors' faces, for he knew the ways of men. Then be said: "Vou, the bowleggcd one, go stand twenty yards to tbe right, and I'll get you to help me a minute with tbe seed in'. You, baldy, there, you stand twen ty yards to the left." The two men complied, and the Hlg glus XX'eutwortb said quietly to the mail w ho remained: "XXhat did you say your captain's name was?" "XXilllams, Captain Williams," was the reply. The old farmer sauntered to tbe man off to the right. "What was your captain's name?" he asked. "Kverett, sir," Ibc man answered. Iliggius Wentworth crossed the field to the third man. "XX'hat w as your captain's name?" "The name was Captain Jones." Iliggius Wentworth leaned on his hoe and gathered tbe three men about him. "A fine lot of sailors yon are," be suortoj, "to go to sea In a ship with three captains: No wonder you were wrecked. It served you right." De troit Free Press. The Last Straw. They were driving from the railway station to the village In which the blissful honeymoon was to be passed, and, though she had not as yet brush ed the confetti out of her hair, tbe bride was in an agony of nervousness in case they should be taken for any thing but a couple well seasoned to tbe joys and sorrows of matrimony. Presently the carriage drew back with a Jerk. "XX'bat's the matter?" queried the bridegroom of the coachman. "Horse thrown a shoe, sir," said th driver. The bride clutched her husband's arm and, with what sounded suspi ciously like a sob, "Oh, dear George," she said, "Is It possible that eren the very horses know we afe married?" CULVER The Junction City of the Deschutes The Railroad Town of Central Oregon Has a Remarkable History-A Great Future PLACED upon (lie market tut one month ago, yet the interest sliown ly lie? general public, the sate of lots an J especially the railroad develop ment in and lor Culver, has made it imperative that the toxvnsilc owners, in order to protect their own interests, must almost immediately advance the price ol lots. We believe that sullicienl lime has already been allowed those who were anxious to secure lots at first cost, however, these prices will be held open lor a short lime longer and il you wish to embrace this opportunity lo secure a choice selection at introductory prices we urge you lo lose no time. What is Doing at Culver? The machinery is on the ground and work bep.un on the well which is to supply water lor toxvnsite purposes until the development ol the loxvn xvill warrant the installing of a gravity system of Waterworks. The new $3,500.00 hotel is ne;irimj completion and shortly xvill be ready lo oiler the traveling public good, neat, clean service. Practical tests ol avaiLblc material are Winy made preliminary to the establishment ol a brick manufacturing plant in Culver. The Fostollice Department has issued orders lor the old Culver postoflire to be moved to the new town on the railroad. As soon as material ran be secured lor the purpose a number ol business buildings are to be erected in Culver lor the housing ol various industrial enter prises. That Culver is the railroad loxvn ol the Deschutes Valley is beyond question now. The new railroad plat ol Culver Junction shows lour tracks through the town one main line Ixvo long sidings and an industrial track lacing the warehouse site which are laid out by the railroad company and extend from the junction point entirely through the toxvnsite. Besides being the junction of the Hill and Ilarriman main lines Culver will will also be the junction ol the branch road which will be built lo l'tincville at no remote period. : We are not prepared to" sl.ile il this road will lie an electric line built by Prineville capital and maintained by the power company, which owns the power site west ol Culver in Crooked river, or il I larriman interests will extend the Deschutes road Irom Culver junction to Prineville, or ytl if L. W, Hill has design on this splendid route to Prineville. but tint this line will surely be built xve are reasonably certain. In the meantime Culver is the distributing point lor Prineville and other (owns ol less importance and will be the terminus ol lite mai l line lor height and passenger Irallic lor several months until the bridge is completed over Crooked river.
