Tha consul-reneral of 'Roumanla In

gram from Bucharest!
The government and the opposition
have come to' an agreement on the prin
cipal point tn the bill relating to agri
cultural arrangements between ihe
great land owners snd the peasants,
namely,, on the question of ths pas
tu rages to be granted to the peasants.
Owners Of more than 150 hectacres of
land will voluntarily sell to the peax-
1 ants pasture lands not exceeauiir ona
1 eighth of -the extent of their .estates.
All tho abuses- of agricultural usury
aro . suppressed and placed under se
vere penalties ,as the result of th!s
agreement The- law will be voted .y
faruament ana put into roroo wun
east possible delay. The agricultural
crisis of last spring will thus find a
solution which will be accepted , by all
political parties.
The arrangement made between the
Italian government and that of western
Australia for planting a colony of 100
Italian families on lands to ., be as
signed to them by the western Auetral
lan authorities provides that the lands
shall consist of two sections the first,
near the coast, devoted to fruit-growing;
tne aecona. on too railway, inwnatg ur
raising cereals. A lot Of 120 acres will
be conceded to each family in the first
section and one of 40 acres to each
family which settle in me secono.
tratlon of 'that Institution has been
strenathened by his summary dismissal
of five male sttendants for violation of
the rules. One of the rules Is to ths
effect that all employes must be In

superintendent that some, of the male
attendants were in the habit of whll-

days' suspension for infraction of the
rules the five offending employes were
discharged and warned that no Imme
diate restoration to the state Davroll
could be hoped for. although one had
been employed at the - asylum for If

CARRIED ONE' UMBRELLA FOR
TWENTY YEARS AND A GOOD ONE
Some -people have a faculty of los
ing umbrellas others for keeping them.
.When the ordinary person keeps one
umbrella In his possession more than a
few weeks he is usually proud of the
feat. Some people are so careless that
they, always buy a cheap umbrella and
when they lose It they are not sur
prised,, nor do ; they worry sbout it.
They simply go and get another one for
six bits or a dollar.
Ed Howe, who makes his home at the
Hotel , Portland, traveling along the
coast selling hotel , furnishings, nas
' had the same umbrella for 20 years. It
is a particularly fine one and was orlg
Inally given to him by a friend.
- All . these years Mr. Howe has been
traveling, always taking his rain pro
tector with him. Although u is an
unusually fine umbrella lie has never
taken particular pains to keen it from
leaving his possession. Tie has merely
oeen carerui wun it. several timos,
however, the umbrella has had narrow
escapes from leaving its present owner.
The 20-year-old umbrella has a boar
tusK handle, the butt of the handle be
ing carvea in representation of a dog'a
bead.
