Seventh DeciiUBc the elevation id but 2000 feet and the climate splendid for the production of cropa of all kinds on the surrounding farms. Eighth Because arrangements are being made for the removal of the store and post ofllcc at old Culver to the new townsite on the railroad. This section is now supplied with Rural Free Delivery of mail. Ninth Because the first purchasers and the townsite people are erecting substantial buildings for business enter prises and the down is needed by the farmers and country people. Tenth Because Culver iB 119 miles south of Celilo, just the right distance for a Division. It is also the most con venient place for the line to be built from the main line to Princville. Eleventh Because the railroads own 27 acres through the heart of the town for right of way, switches, yardage, etc. Twelfth Because there is not a bad lot in the towhsitc. Every lot is a good one, level and smooth. Last but Not Least Cnlvcr fills a long felt want in this particular locality for the farmers need a nearby market and shipping point for their thousands of bushels of grain. It is almost equally distant between Redmond and Madras and while it will be a great benefit to the farming community which it will serve it is too distant to be any injury to the sister Aowns. There is room for all in this prosperous valley. Culver is being advertised in the lo cality where it is to be and is being buildcd. The home people arc aked to support and help it along and in turn the town will work for the interests of the farmers. It is hoped to make this a community of interests. ALL IS READY!

T vjuarantppH SOLICITED 2 this state at the next general election, and "Whereas, by reason of the unde veloped and sparsely settled condition of the territory affected, the uncertainty of the permanent location of railroads and the main avenues of transportation and the unsettled and unstable condition of the centers of population, the pro position to divide Crook County at this time is clearly premature and inoppor tune; therefore be it "Resolved, by the citizens of Princ ville and vicinity, in mass meeting as sembled, that we hereby express our'. most emphatic objections to said meas ure and pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to defeat any and all proposals to divide Crook County until such a time as the centers of popula tion are sufficiently established, and the avenues of commerce and trade fixed to such an extent that a division can be intelligently accomplished." The foregoing resolution was widely published in the press before the affirm ative argument for the proposed new County of Deschutes was filed, and it is incredible that the Redmond Commercial Club did not havo knowledge of it and of the temper of the people. Since that time similar resolutions opposing creation of the proposed new County of Deschutes havo been adopted by tho Madras Commercial Club (in the precinct second number of voters in the county and tho most populous town in the proposed new county) and by a pub lic meeting at Bend (tho second town in tho county) and there have been num erous expressions of disapproval from other communities in Crook County. It is entirely within the truth to say that opposition to the proposed new county ia general, both within tho proposed boundaries and outside of them, with tho single exception of tho town of Redmond itself. Redmond has organ ized us an incorporated town since the petition for tho new county, naming it as the county seat, was filed. Of tho 10, Kill names upon the initia tive petition for, tho proposed new County of Deschutes but 217 wore ob tained in Crook County, including tho town of Redmond. It is unnecessary to discuss the esti mates of population and taxable values when tho unfair boundary lines are con sidered in connection with such careless statement of important facts.

A pedestrian was accosted lale one night by a very drunken man who e 11 r 11 c 8 1 ly re (pieslcd hi m to go through Ids pockets and see if he had any money. The gen tleman searched all of the pock ets of the Inebri ate and found nothing but a pipe, some to bacco and some cloves. The drunken man then said: searched Atr. the i knowcd you rocKKTs. wouldn't find nothln'. But I'm much 'bilged any way. Done mo great favor. Goo' night." The citizen then was interested to know why this singular request bad been made and received the following explanation: "You shee I started home with $40 an' ought to taken It home to wife, but met some o th' boys, an' It's ull gone. See what I'm after?" "No, not at nil." "Well. I'm conscientious. If I tell her I Kpent It she'll gimme blnshes. She's awful If provok ed about lit tle things.

During the duya when polygamy was tho universal rule amoug the Mor- nions a woman doctor from one of the eastern states went into one of the Mormon coiumuultles to practice her profession. She was a pleasant lady as well us skillful, and her patients were very fond of her. Ilow I wish," said one of them, 'that 1 could convert you to our re ligion. If you would only marry my hupbaud and conje and live with us'.' The doctor fled in horror to another friend, to whom she told the story. Her self respect beguu to revive, and she felt eoiufor'ed. seeing how the eyes of her listener blazed. 1 don't wonder you feel ns you do." replied the friend Indignantly. "The Idea! Why. that Mr. Is perfectly horrid! What vou want to do is to marry my husband and come and live with us." Making Both Ends Meet. A certain colonel somewhere in the south ino matter where) was In tho habit of telling yarns and greatly ex- iggeratlng. lie had a uegro sen-ant who corroborated everything his mas ter told. One day tho colonel had somo gentlemen to dluuer, and they were enjoying some fine venison very much. The colouel said: "Yes, I went bunting the other day and saw a line buck. ) took a good sight at him aud shot him through the head, and tho bullet vent through his hlud leg." Tho gentlemen looked at each other n little mystllled. The negro scratched his head and at last said. "Yes indeed, common; Just as massa raised the gun to shoot do buck he raise his hind leg and scratch his ear, and the bullet rent throiitfi the head aud right through de hlud leg." Tho gentlemen looked more sutbtled. After the guests had gone the uegro nald to his master, "Gorry mighty, master, next time you tell one of dem varns do get tho ends closer togedder. t had baid work to make both ends meet." Wht Puzzled Him. Detective Frauk Wood was walking up Prospect avenue last summer when he was halted by a merchant, who led tho nonular policeman Into a hallway and looked him over from head to foct. Wood wore duck trousers, a lily whlto vest with pearl buttons, a navy blue cutaway coat, ox blood shoes, a purple cravat, a soft hat of some deli cate texture, and In his left hand ho swung and twisted a cane. After the merchaut had completed tils survey and started away Wood nsked somewhat petulantly; "Well. sir. what does all this mean?" "Oh. nothing," said the merchant; "only I wanted to find out why they rnll vou a 'nlaln clothes man," Cleveland Leader. A . E.
