If A New Year's Day .s Reflection : A" LL years are not alike In alue to the race or the individual; neither are all days. There are black days aud white days, weeks that ure bur densome and weeks that are like a merry chluie of bells, months that nimble with the thuiider of defeat aud months that resound with the shouts of victory. There Is no monotony In time. It varies as does the landseaie. Id one period it is as level as a western prairie, with no spe cial experiences to mark its pas sage; In another changes come and evftits occur which mnke the weeks resemble the Alle- gheuies, mount.) in heights guth- ered together like a great com J pany of glauti whose shining hel mets are visible tuougu you nave traveled far away aud stand ou your horizon Hue; In still another some day or week with 1H won drous hapK.'uiugs rises from the plain of memory like a veritable Mont Blane, and though seven ty years be counted In your cal endar vou still see Its summit J aud say, "That was the hour f when my new life began." Nw Year's Eve Among the FUyaht. The Greeks who dwell In Turkish territory and are subjects of the sul tan are known as Greek Ilayahs. They follow the Greek caleudar, according to which Jan. 1 comes ou our Jau. 14. New Year's' eve is a great time for the Uayah boys. As soon as they ring tho Ml of a house the door Is thrown open and the voice of the master Is heard, saying, "Let the boys lu at onee! Give them money, fruit nud oil that they can carry of St. Itasll's cake. Come on, servants; fill their pockets while they give us their song!" Then the poor children, delighted by the warm welcome of the host And the profusion of dainty things given them, slug with frciwy the romantic little tale of St Rasil, patron saint of the home and of the young, and end with the calling down of numerous bless lugs on the generous family during the new year. Youth's Coj2ia!iUL On th First Morning. It Is curious to find the Purlcai: Judge Sewcll n hater of all holidays and set days, recording with much pleasure his being awakened on New Year's morning In sober Boston In 1!!'8 by a levet or blast of trumpets, and he celebrated Jan. 1, 1700. which he thought was tho opening of a new century, by writing a very poor poem and causing It to be cried or recited through the town by the town erler. f 5 i H Iff hii Astern TTDPVGS Old Council Goes Out of Business (Continued from Page One.)

The reason lies en-irMy in the fact that the work which he has to do is not comprehended by th? citizens, who know nothing of it and therefore think the $.i0 monthly paid h'm a waste. Elsewhere in tl.K is:ue to published the re port of the city attorney, which was denied by the council such an educational report as to be well worth printing for the pu'ilic. Every citlzt-n should read it. It contains not only a comprehensive report of the at torney's duties and the work which he has done, but gives some -nlightcning insights into affair? of which the citizens generally know hut little. No citizen should be so unfair as to advocate doing iway with the city attorneyship without first reading the report. Councilman Nininer says thnt r. prominent citizen dropped into his store the other df.y and. Mr. X'nineer. asked him what he thought of the city attorney. "Perfectly uselesj and a waste of money." ftplb'd the visitor. Mr. Nininger asked him to read the reporl, saying. "1 have n't got time and 1 will rely ab solutely on your opinion." After spending a half hour or so study'ng the report the prominent cLizen stated: "By Georgo, I had- no lda of what he had to do. We sure must keep an attorney, and I would favor paying him nioie money. This has cher.tcd my mind." So read the report. 1 . Vampire Will Vamp At Vining Sunday Theda Bara, original vampire of the screen, will have an exceptional opportunity to show her best wares in that famous old play, "East Lynne," at the Vlnlng Sunday night.

Oregon's 1916 fruit crop will not growers tully !.000.000. This is the valuation placed on the commer cial shipping crop, aud does not in clude the value of fruit consumed at home. Taken altogether, the crop was worth 11.000.000 more than in any previous year. 1 ne appie crop proved to be better than had been anticipated. The total shipping crop is estimated at about 3.000 cars. On account of the continued car short age a large proportion of the crop remains yet to be moved. While ap ples head the list in point of value, the prune crop takes first rank for the amount of outside money brought Into the state. The 1916 production of Oregou Italian prunes reached the 10,000,000-pound mark, the shipping value of which was $3,000,000. There was a creditable showing of other varieties of fruit. Oregonlan.
