THE MONTH OF H ALLEY'S COMET IT WILL APPEAR TO BE A STICK OF LIVING FIRE AND TWICE AS BIG AS THE "BIG STICK" OF ROOSEVELT. I dreamt that I dwelt In overalls, With Nature all around me; And the smiling countryside In thralls Of deep nffectlon bound me. I loved U milk and do the chores Around that simple dwelling. And I didn't give a whoop outdoors How groceries were selling. 1 dreamt that I dwelt In overalls, With hired men to serve me. And something when misfortune fulls To happily preserve lire. I heard the lowing of the klne As deep-toned as un organ, Ami the thrill of ownership wits mine, The Mime as Mr. Morgan. I drenint that I dwelt In overalls, As all tho railroads want me; And the city and Its gloomy walls Wero nevermore to haunt me. I lived on something more than crusts With nothing much to fret me, And I hopped around nnd dared the trusts To como out there nnd Ret me. April was anciently the second month, nnd It was entirely satisfact ory In that position until the founding of Rome. This occurred upon April 21, nnd the Romans found It necessnry to keep the day with one of their patriotic parades. After they had lost most of their toes and stopped the parade three of four times while ev erybody went In and got warm, they yielded second place on the cnlendar to February, and shoved April along to Balmier weather. The nntiie Is from the Latin Aprllis, or the opener, who was the Romnn god of poker. This wns a great pas time with tho Romans, and It so deep ly Impressed Itself upon, the national llfo thnt Aprllis became In time a sort of air around corkscrew for open ing Spring or whatever else pertained to the Romnn experience. It wns a form of humor among tho Roman wits to, sny that Aprllis hud opened Spring and bet a robin or something similarly characteristic, nnd the weather bur eau of thnt time wholly confined its conjectures to whntvAprilis probably held or would draw, which made this branch of tho Government a great favorite with the people, Instead of something that everybody damns, as It IS with us.

TWO BURGLARS TAKEN Foreigners Enter Section House at Milwaukie Are Nabbed by Local Police Monday Evening. With the opening of the regular April term of the Circuit Court and the presence of a grand Jury, the gates of crime were flung wide open after a restful period of .many weeks. Hurry Aune, who Is charged with violating the close season by fishing for salmon In the Willamette River between March 1 and May 1, entered a plea of not guilty. Thomas Browa, charged with having Hteelbead sal mon in his possession was arraigned and entered a similar plea. E. E. Elliott, of Eagle Creek, who Is accused of selling liquor In that supposedly dry precinct, protested his Innocence. AllSnrce of these men have been in dicted by the grand Jury and will be tried at this term of court. The case against Aune Is in the nature of a test of the order of the State Board of Klsh Commissioners in closing the Willamette and Clackamas Rivers to salmon fishing for a longer period than is provided by law. An unknown man viciously assault ed Mrs. August Rakel Monday after noon on the Dolton Walk In West Ore gon City. Mrs. Rakel was alone. The man struck her In the face several times. Indicting painful bruises and made his escape. Mrs. Rakel was able to glv a very good description of her assailant. He lacks two front teeth. 0 rover Clemens, who was charged with stealing chickens from Harvey G. Starkweather, of Oak Grove, plead ed guilty In the Circuit Court Monday and was sentenced by Judge Camp bell to serve one year In the county Jail, but was released on parole. Two Greeks, names unknown, were captured Monday night hy Officers Shaw and Cooke, and lodged In the county Jail.

County Judge Dlmlck and Commis sioner Lewellen Friday made an order directing Road Supervisor F. E. David son, of Oswego, to open a number of streets In what is known as the "old town," being the po-tion of Oswego that Is not Included in the corporate limits. Thirty residents of Oswego, headed by Postmaster George W.

After nine hard fought Innings were played Sunday morning, the Printers were forced to admit that the Barbers were better hall players, as the score board announced that, the final score was 9 to C. A largp. crowd of the curious were present to witness the contest, which was fought at Glad stone, and all express themselves as more than satisfied with the class of ball put up by the Doughnut League. The Printers attribute their loss of the game to the sudden disappearance of Zb-gler, their heavy hitter, catcher. chief of staff, bead coach, leading root er and all-round Btcllar player, who vanished from sight Saturday after noon, and failed to show up till late Sunday afternoon, after his team mates had been compelled to taste the bitter dregs of defeat. Ziegler tells a hair raising story of being kidnapped by two Knights of the Ra zor, who bound and gagged him and hid him under the bathtub In a barber shop until after the game. This being the case, the Printers will protest the game to the National Baseball Com mission. In the meantime, Bill the Bight, "the pressman sleuth" has don ned his padded shoes, and is on the still hunt for clues. In spite of the fact that neither of the teams have practiced, and that several members have not been on speaking terms with the horsehlde sphere for several years the playing was remarkably good, and with several widely scattered excep tions, the ball was kept somewhere near the scene of activity. In the first Inning the Printers went to the bat and Riches brought In a run. Incidentally he obtained four of the six secured by the typos. In the first spasm the Barbers were un able to connect with Beard's delivery, but in the second inning they trimmed him for three runs. The Printers tied the Bcore in the third inning, but the Barbers had a great rally In their half and after that, with a change of pitchers, the hits of the Printers were so scattered that they lost out. Sin not was the ' bright particular star with the stick. The score says: Barbers Printers Hammond p Beard Mack c Lewis Bray lb Braendie Hankins 2b Riches Fox 3b Slnnott Miller ss Schram Rakel cf Fletcher Stiner If Larsen Wilson rf O Neil "Slim" Kelly batted for Mack in the eighth, and Mulkey and Sherwood batted for Braendie and Fletcher In the ninth. The score by innings: Printers 1 0201010 1-6 Barbers 0 3 3 0 0 0 2 1 -9 Nine Long acted as umpire, and his decisions were so satisfying that after a short debate, the teams decided to let him live a short time longer. DISPLAY OF COUNTY PRODUCTS COSTS $200 EIGHT MONTHS CONTRACT MADE FRIDAY WITH PORTLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. At a joint meeting of the board of governors, the publicity committee and the board of advisors of the Ore gon City Commercial Club Friday night an appropriation of $200 was made for an exhibit of Clackamas County products In the ground floor of the Portland Chamber of Commerce.
