X. Teal, Twin Cities, Inland Empire and Relief. This will mean the withdrawal from the transportation field of the company, after several years of excellent work in the interest of lower rates on the Vpper Columbia River. A. H. Devers, vice president of the company, presided at the meeting which was attended by more than a majority of the stock and It was ex plained that the stockholders felt that they were unwilling to longer carry tht risk of the operation of tihe boats unless the public took a deeper inter est. The company was organized when when the upper river country was ser ved by only one railroad. Th effect was the granting of reduced freight rates to which the inland empire was entitled by reason of its favorable po sition. The North Bank line is oper ating a line of steamers between Port land and The Dalles, and with this line and the two railroads as direct competitors, the Open River Company had an abundance of opposition. The steamers Teal, Twin Cities and Inland Empire were built within the past six years and are practically as good as new. The Teal Is of 456 tons net register and has been operated be tween Portland and Celilo, where she connected w ith the Inland Empire. The Inland Empire and Twin Cities are sister boats of 375 tons net register, equipped with very powerful machin ery. These boats were constructed in 1W8, at Celilo, a year after the launch ing of the Teal at Portland. The Re lief is of 209 ton net register and was built at Blalock in 1906. On OVER THE COUNTER a business trip to the city a farmer decided to take home to his wife a Christmas present of a shirt waist. Going into a store and being directed to the waist department, he asked the lady clerk to show him some. "What bust?" asked she. The farmer looked around quickly and answered: "I don't know; I did n't hear anything." Ladies Home Journal.

KANSAS FIGHTING SGALEJNFESTATION The effect of the new law In Kansas which compels fruit growers to spray for the control of San Jose scale is being felt more than ever in some parts of the state. In the vicinity of Wathena and Elwood, where San Jose scale is know n to be present, the Kan sas state inspectors in charge of As sistant Entomologist J. H. Merrill, are helping growers In every possible way to get the scale under control, and are operating a sprayer for the purpose of spraying all orchards where the own ers do not care to go to the trouble of treating their trees. The scale was found In Kansas in the fall of 1909 by Prof. George A. Dean of the Kansas Agricultural Col lege, and a careful investigation re vealed the fact that along the Missouri Kiver.both north and south of Wathena and Elwood, there was a general In festation of fruit trees and ornamental shrubs. During the past summer and fall a farm to farm inspection was made of the infested area', and a large territory in all directions around this district, to ascertain the exact limits of the pest. The condition of all orcta. ards, whether infested or not, has been recorded, and all Information regard ing them is on file in the office of the state entomologist. Experiments which have beon con- ducted by the Kansas experiment sta tion in the Wathena district, as well as in other scale infested regions, show that a single treatment with lime sulphur during the dormant sea son will easily and efficiently control the scale. The laws of Kansas make It obligatory on the state entomologist to see that the scale suppression work is enforced, and this is now being vig orously done in the vicinity of Wathena.

LINCOLN EXAMPLE OF GOD'S INFINITY Auranam Lincoln, sprung from a family which would today be called hardly more than tramps, was an ex ample of the infinite power of God working through men, according to Rev. Be tram A. Warren of The Dalles who preached at St. Mark's church Thursday evening. Mr. Warren spoke of Lincoln's par ents and said that although they have been called "pioneers" the latter were often what we would today call tramps people who were constantly moving from place to place and never amount ing to much. "It is a noticeable fact that we have never heard of the Lin coins since the day of the family's one great man," said Rev. Mr. Warren. "It was one of God's wonderful acts the creation of a man endowed with such supreme wisdom and springing from such humble stock. And, indeed, Lincoln himself lived among the most commonplace surroundings and In a depressing atmosphere until those lat er days In which he achieved almost to the sublime." The Illustration in which Abraham Lincoln was used was one of a number given by Mr. Warren to show the In finity of God, who knows and cares for the needs of the smallest flower of the field as well as controlling tne movement of the stars in their spheres. He spoke particularly of the Infinite possibilities among the human kind, how it often takes some crisis to open the shutters of a man's oul and show the infinite possibilities and God like nature. It is the contact with God, he said, that acts like the contact of two electric poles, bringing forth the living current and the flash of the infinite. Coal or Wood delivered on short no tlce.
