B. Butler es. tablished a general store at Itickre all. About the same time a water power grist mill was built&nd the Idea seems to have been to found a town there. But roads at that time were very scarce and In the winter nearly impassable. However, the grist mill prospered and many a four and six-horse load of Crusader brand flour was sold and distributed throughout the Willamette valley. The store also prospered and filled a real need In the community. This store changed hands many times un til It was finally acquired by Peter Cook in 1899. Mr. Cook was not only a fine merchant, but a great sports man and raiejhorse fancier. His fa miliar face, nas to be seen at nearly all nearby race tracks during t.he racing season. When old man time gathered Mr. Cook in some two years ago, his many friends and acquaintances felt their loss very keenly. At present the store formerly own ed by Mr. Cook and known as the Rickreall. General store la owned and operated by J. O. Price.

Mr. Price is a native Oregon i an and has lived in the Rickreall section for 20 years or more. Located at Highway Junction Being located at the intersection of the West Side Pacific highway and the Salem-Dallas highway, Rickreall is very well known by travelers and tourists who use these roads and stop for the tempting lunches and soft drinks served by the Black Bird Inn and McKee's lunch room.

Russians Clamp Lid on Old-Time Music Washington. D. C The tlwroiigh fteas with which Soviet Itussia la attempting to supplant utterly every part of the old order which existed before the revolution-Is un limited according to the reports brought oack by travelers who have been Investigating the Bolshevik ex periment It Is the fixttl Intent of the Soviet lenders to remake Itussia so completely as to leave not a memory of the old days of the czar and the nobility, or, at least, not a pleasant memory. Knowing - that Intangible as well as tangible things have a d! rect bearing upon the thoughts and aspirations of a people, the Russian officials have gone so far as to cen sor music and to encourage a whole uew school of music. Andrew Fletcher of Sal toon, a Scotch philosopher. Is 'the author of the famous observation: '"Let me write the songs of a nation and I care not who makes the laws." The Soviet leaders apparently have every confidence In that statement and have effected a complete revolution In music In the hist decade. Just as they have changed the social order, remade the government, altered all practice concerning property owner ship and generally set up a new Rus sia. With as much care as was devoted to the dissemination of propaganda of a political and economic nature, the Soviet government created a special department charged with the revolutionizing of music.

"Column With a Curse" Augusta, Ga. Sentiment which for 18 years has allowed "the column with a curse" to stand In the middle of a sidewalk, won 'out recently when a paving program made practicable the removal of the queer relic of a tornado's fury. The column, once the pillar of the city market house, has stood at r.road and Center streets ever since a tornado hit Augusta in 1873. Old citizens say that an ttlnerant mln ister, claiming the gift of prophecy, predicted that the old market house would be destroyed the day after his sermon, lie declared that hut one of the hig pillars supporting the market hcuse would be left standing and de clared that any attempt to move the pillar would be fatal; that the per son who tried It would be struck by lijrhtnlng. As it happened, a tornado hit this town the next day and only one pillar of the market house was left stand ing. Some years ago city officials said the pillar would have to lie de stroyed to permit certain street re' pairs. A large number of workmen carried the pillar alwuf 50 feet.' There was an explosion nnd they dropped It. And today the pillar stands where the workmen dropped It when some practical joker exploded a firecracker Art Is Used by Pastor to Stress His Sermons Springdale, I'a. Rev. Charles W.

PREHISTORIC MEN CREMATED DEAD Scientists Unearth Bone Ashes in New Mexico. Minneapolis, Minn. Evidence that prehistoric dwellers on the North American continent were the first of mankind to cremate the dead has been unearthed by an expedition of tie Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The evidence Is based chiefly upon a crumbly material found In the sands of the Mimbres valley In New Mexico, thought to have been pulverized corn, which an analysis showed was bone ash. The culture of the Mimbres valley Is believed to have flourished .2,000 years ago. Objects and materials found cer tainly are the first evidence of crema tion in that valley, and possibly any where, says Dr. Albert E. Jenks, lead er of the expedition. Doctor Jenks believes Mimbres culture ceased to extet about COO or 700 A. I). Near Hurley. N. M., the searchers unearthed a village of 150 rooms, or huts. Some yielded sitting, or full length skeletons with bowls over their heads. But in one was found a jar of an unrecognized material. "We tasted It, said Doctor Jenks. "One member of the party declared It was pulverized blue corn, common in that vicinity." Laboratory tests re vealed It to be bone ash. Another find deemed Important was a copper bell, use of which previously had not been known. A bracelet of Y.i shells was found on the arm of the skeleton of a ferrule. There were fireplaces and wall bases of adobe and stone. Some Luts were constructed of wood. The culture, according to anthro pologists, disappeared when Mimbres villages were destroyed, although how they were destroyed has not been learned. So far as Is known the cul ture never took root elsewhere. Tots Travel Far New York.

If you begin pestering me again I'll be domed If I don't take my overdraft out of your bank nnd trans fer it to the Second .National, across the street." There's a companion story for this, not quite so old : A gentleman In a southern town, well known ns brilliant hut careless, was persistent In his applications gr loans and extremely tardy shout re paying them. He had Induced a local bank to let him have forty dollars, and gave his note therefor. At the end of each . day period he Invariably appeared and asked that t he note be renewed: nnd as there was nothing else to do. tUe bank al ways renewed it. One day ho appeared and said to he cashier: " Td like to renew that paper of mine you have here." "Certainly." replied the cashier; "I'll fix it up for you." The cashier made the proper prep arations fo- the renewal, and then lie said : "Say, the directors were talking nbout this paper of yours the other day. They decided that they wouldn't charge you Interest on It any longer." "That's very considerate of them, was the reply. "Ira mighty glad to hear It. I certainly am under obliga tions to them." Yes," continued the cashier, "we're not going to charge you Interest, we're going to charge you storage!" (2). by the McNaugbt Syndicate. Inc.)
