Your reporter gleaned the Intelligence from the "fireside companions of the I'ark dale store" that he had gone to pur chase a yoke of oxen. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Cooper have returned froiu an extended tour of the coast. They visited all the prin cipal points aud have many Interest ing narratives to relate. Barney, like all returning celebrities, says he Is glad to be back again. So say all of us. Like the proverbial cat. "he couldn't stay no longer" away from the scenes of bis happy hunting I ground, so David It. Cooper honored I'arkdale w ith his presence one day j last week. When interviewed, he said he came merely to get a glimpse j of the sunshine he heard we were en ' joying, aud not to dodge the riiln j drops, as erroneously reported. The friends of Alex Porteous and Llnu Bruce will be surprised to leanf that the reason for their close con flnemeut to their ranches the past winter was the fact that they were constructing an aeroplane. In whirl) they expect to make their initial flight on Pnrkdale's gala day, July fourth. It is rumored that it is to be propelled by hot air procured from the many rual estate agente In the valley. Messrs. Harbison, Babson, May, Walton, Ities, Meyers, Puddy, iood lander, Van Nuya and Mclsaau were sentenced to the "rock pile" for two days last week. Their labor was, however, one of love, being engaged in the noble work of quarrying the stone for the foundation of the new church at I'arkdale.

At any rate. Mclsaac's outfit had them all lient to a "frazzle." A serious accident was recently averteil by the presence of mind nnd timely action of Parkdale's pronVleut si-hool principal, Miss Klizaheth Cooper. It was while passing the ranch of Mr. Douglass that her horse shied at the uplifted sword held lu the hand of a piece of statuary that surmounts the arched entrance to his estate. This work of art Is so realistic that the horse, no doubt, thought the sword was about to descend upon his back, sidestepped, and taking the bit, plunged forwr.rd at a terrific pace. It Is In a crisis like this that pedagogical training plays such an important part. Miss Cooper, as cool as a Mount Hood cueumlier, guided him back to the road and off he went with the speed of the wind. The only upprehension she had was the possibility of reach ing the school liefore the jauitor had the tires lighted. She also realized that she was uearlng a bad turn lu the road and If that was passed all would be well. But fate was against her; the turn was reached and in try ing to make It the singletree broke, separating the horse Iron) the sleigh. She sat calmly watching the animal until it was out of sight, then, alight lug, she 'phoned to a neighbor for a teim and arrived at the school be fore the last bell ceased ringing.' It might here be said Miss Cooper has never been absent or tardy during her administration as principal. MOSIER Mr. and Mrs. K. X. Stroup are vis iting in Portland. Miss I..
