Prinevlllo was selected as the place, and May IS the time for the annual Central Oregon Interscholas the schools of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties met In Prtnevllle on Saturday. It had previously been considered that Madras would hare the meet this year, but Prinerille. having yielded In favor of Redmond last year, put in a claim which could cot be overlooked. Officers of the Central Oregon School Day association were elected, Paul Irvine of Redmond being chosen as president, with George Gabriel of Madras as vice president, and J. E. Meyers of Prlneville, as secre tary. They will hare charge of the greater part of the detail work of the meet. For the first time since the Cen tral Oregon contests began, the con tests are to be held on a Friday In stead of .on. a Saturday. Another innovation lies In the decision to hare a . professional elocutionist among the Judges of the declama tion contest, making possible the giving of constructive criticism. BRAZIL CHERISHES MEMORY OF EMPIRE Ashes of Royalty Brought Bark From Europo Republicans Anionic Most Sympathetic Mourners. By U. Grant Keener (United rim Suit Correspondent.) RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 13. Al though Brasil has been a republic for many years and men of humbler birth now fill many of her, most im portant public offices, the activities of the old court are yet fresh In pop ular memorjr. . Less than two years ago the Bra zilians repatriated the ashes of Dom Pedro II and his wife, Empress Theresa Christina, restoring them to a throne of memory. Dom Pedro had been compelled to leave the country by the rebellion which cul minated in the Brazilian Republic. With Dom Pedro, his empress wife, and his daughter. Princess Isa bel, were also obliged to leave and went to Portugal never to return alive to their native country. Princess Isabel, known as "the Re dempteress," having signed a decree freeing slaves In Brazil while she was acting regent during a visit of her father to Europe', died recently in France. The staunchest Republi cans were among the most sympath etic mourners over her loss. SNOWSTORM HALTS RAINIER CLIMBERS (By United Prem to The Bend Bulletin.) PARADISE VALLEY, Wash., Feb. 13. The first attempt of the three Alpine climbers trying to scale Mount Rainier in winter failed when they encountered a blinding snow storm yesterday. They are, now at Anvil Rock awaiting more favorable weather. ON THE RIGH The First National Bank T Bavm or 8pmo 1 Thlt Bank & " Member of the LUMBER PRICES FIRM, IS NOTED OliDHKS SLOWLY IXCRCAslXti. Ill T IMMtlHVTlOX AXI1 UK MAX It AUK STILL Vlll i'l'ALl.Y llAI.AXflXC;, M'UVKY" SHOWS. There is nothing spectacular about the lumber market at present. Or ders are slowly Increasing, but to date production and order practic ally balance. There la a striking dif ference In the situation of this year and that of last year, however. At present lumber prices are firm with very little "distress stock" offered, according to the American Lumber. "In 1921, however," The Lumberman says, "prices were receding at this time and production was upon a very scanty basis. In fact, for the first six weeks of 1922 orders and production, as a whole, are almost twice as large as for the first six weeks of 1921. It Is not difficult to understand therefore why the mar ket is firm and bids fair to remain In this condition. "In the south winter storms have played a considerable part in hold ing down production. On the Paci fic coast while there is still some log shortage, the situation Is rectify ing itself. An important phase of the situation on the west coast, how ever, is the continued heary move ment of lumber by water. to Califor nia and Atlantic coast ports as well as abroad. For example, during the last week for which figures are available 47 per cent of new busi ness booked was for future water delivery." HOW TO DETERMINE DEPRECIATION TOLD Average Lifetime of Frame Building 25 Years, According To Income Tax Collection Data. PORTLAND. Feb. 13. To com pute the amount of depreciation which may be claimed in making out income tax returns, reports Clyde G. Huntley, collector of internal reven ue, the taxpayer should determine the probable life of the property. then divide by the number of years It will be usable in the business in which employed. The result thus obtained will rep resent the amount which may be claimed as a deduction. For example, a frame building, the probable lifetime of which is 25 years, cost $5,000. Divide $5,000 by 25 and claim $200 each year as a deduction. While each taxpayer may determine the probable lifetimo of his property without regard to the following figures, it has been es timated that the average usable life time of a frame building is 25 years; a brick building 50 to 100 years. The estimated life of ordinary ma chinery, that of automobiles used for business or farm purposes and farm tractors is four to five years. His Own Weapon. G. K. Chesterton was arguing with a military man. "I believe, sir," said the soldier. "In fighting nn enemy with his own weapons. Thnt's what I ad vocate, sir." "Tell me." said G. K.

Pay by check Federal Reserve System DAMAGE DONE BY ICE STORM Destruction of Trees It Incomparably th Worst Part of tho Whole sale Devastation, One of the must distressing rouse. uuenccs of nn Ice storm la the Irre parable damage dune to trees. The telephone uml telegraph poles can be replaced. Wire ran he rest rung. Train and trolley schedules can he re stored. One and nil these are tiMnl inate IIiIuks. Hut trees are llviiiK 1 1 1 1 1 1 $ra and run no mure hu restored without a lapse of time than any oilier living thltiK. It takes a generation to grow a tine tree, remarks a writer In the Worcester 'Telegram. It tiikes a de cade to line a residential district street with shade, a second decade for that shade to Inereuse and become an asset to the neighborhood ; a third de cade sees the trees which have grown up with the children become. Instead of a subsidiary attraction, the princi pal one In the neighborhood. Yet In a single night the careful solicitude, tho care and nurture ot the trees is destroyed. The great limbs which residents hnve watched grow for years, the towering tops which twenty years before barely came to the porch roof nnd which for the Inst ten years hare gtveu grateful shade through the summer nnd au tumn are broken, spilt and sundered. The thirty years hare gone for naught. Other ephemeral things, such as telephone service, trolley schedules and trains will resume their accus tomed routine within a day or two after the skies clear. Only the shattered trunk of the trees untimely cut down by the Ice will remain as a reminder. It takes a generation ot man to grow a tine tree. HOW CHARCOAL IS MADE Method of Burning la Much the Same, No Matter Where the Process Is Carried On. The usual method of making or "burning" chnrcoal Is to build up a cone-shaped pile of wood, nhout twelve feet in height and ten to forty feet in diameter leaving a centrul hole or chimney; then to burn It from above downward, and from the outside In wnrd. The trees are cut down In winter and should be fairly dry. The wood Is built up with the bark out ward, the largest pieces being placed furthest Inside, and a covering of turf, or of chnrcoal dust and soil, Is placed over the whole, leaving holes at the sides of the bottom for air. The first three or four dnys bring out the moisture onto the cover. The openings around the base ore then covered, nnd holes are made about halfway up. When the smoke ceases to Issue from these, they are closed nnd other holes are mnde'below. Tar products, which collect when the charconl Is nenrly burned, are re moved by menns of pipes or gutters. When the nir-holes cease to omit flame nnd smoke they are covered and the pile Is allowed to cool for two or three dnys. Then the charconl Is "drawn." nnd nny pieces still burn ing are quenched with water or sand. Seem Larger Near Horizon. The United States naval observatory says: "The sun and moon seem Inrger near the horizon because of an optical Illusion. The horizon appears to be more distant than the zenith because the eye. In looking toward the horizon, rests npon many objects by the way. The sun or moon near the horizon and nt the zenith Is seen to be the same object In both positions; but when near the horizon, It seems lurger because the distance Is apparently greater, the mind unconsciously reason' Ing that being so much farther away, the sun or moon must be larger In order to look the same. "The moon ot the horizon is really about 4,000 miles more distant from the observer than when nearly over head: nnd Its apparent diameter, as measured by an astronomical . In strument, is actually less by about one sixtieth." Old Friends. The bride's mother had her doubts about the feasibility of letting Pickle, the South Carolina cook, wait on the door during the arrival of wedding guests. True, she made the best sweet potato pies ever, but she knew so little of formal northern customs. How ever, there seemed no alternative. Pickle ushered the guests quite solemn ly and wordlessly In. However, near the Inst there came a family friend who was a frequent visitor. On open ing the door nnd seeing of all the throng the first familiar face Pickle broke Into a loud paean of welcome. "Come right In, Missus Brown, Ah knows you, 'deed, Ah does. You Jos' walk right In. Ah'se mighty glad to see you, Missus Brown, deed Ah Is." And Mrs. Brown walked In, the ob served of nil observers. Chicago Jour nal. . Frogs In Rocks and Trees. Attention may be Invited to the as tonishing longevity of the popular delusion, to which even educated. per sons nt the present day give credence., that living frogs, touds mid other unl mnls are sometimes discovered In hermetically sealed cavities In tree trunks and rocks. ' A little reflection shows, from the very nature of things, that such tales are Incredible, and that those who vouch for them must be mistaken In their observations, as the most sliarp slghted persons are deceived by the feat? of n f.estldlgltutor.. ... TOOK SENTIMENT TO HEART Father of Dead Maori Youth Found Comfort In Maeterlinck's Really Beautiful Contention. A piillictle story of n Maori father conies from the pen of Mr. Itex Hunter, who was burn and grew up among them. In Asia, he writes: When I went riding, Kuril, who did odd Join round the place nnd wli rode u pony that lie culled Polo, cuiue ujong 'us a sort of uticudunt. But hia uttiliiile was different from (hut of an English groom ; Instead of dubbing me "Mr." or "Sir," ho always culled inu by my llrst mime. While I was sojourning In the South sens, during an absence from New Zealand, n letter from my sister In formed me of Koru's death. Ho had contracted smallpox. In replying I referred to Maeterlinck's contention Unit the ili'iid are never actually dead so- long as the living remember theiu. In simple words my sister told that part of my letter to lien, I ho father of the dead boy, and the thought seemed to Impress him deeply. In her next letter my sister wrote: "Yesterday I went with Hen to put llowers on Koru's grave. Hen talked ns If the boy could hear him. He said, 'Well, Korti, hero we are cmiic to see you. Wo no forget you. You no dead while we remember you, Koru. Polo, the pony.'ls all right and wonder where you aro. Every little while we come to sec you'. And then ns we left he said, 'lioo'-hy, Koru. You no dead whllu we remember.' " Youth's Companion. The London Cockney. Al used by writers of the Eliza bethan period, the word "cockney" meant n mollycoddle, or a child that had been coddled too much by Its mother. Then, because men who lived In flie city were supposed to be less virile nnd strong than those who lived In tlie country, the rural population began to apply tho term to the resi dents of Loudon and other cities. Gradually this meaning was restrict ed and localized until It una under stood asjjclng applicable only to Lon doners. The opposite term the one applied by townsmen to the farmer was "clown," meaning ail uncouth. Ill-bred man. Todny the nnme of cockney Is np plled to Londoners generally, but more particularly lo people of a certain class. The Loudon cockney niny not always bo well educated or rellned lo bis speech, but he Is not n mollycoddle. Dry Rot. The term dry rot Is commonly used to describe a condition of decay In wood. I'robably nine out of ten per sons who use the term have no real knowledge of Its slgnlllcmice. . In the llrst plueo, where there Is decay, there must bo moisture. This typo of decay Is really tho work of a certain fungus. It Is true (hut where this fungus grows the decaying timber nppenrs to be without moisture. The fungus, how ever, will not germinate unless the wood Is moist, but from then on It Is able to travel In dry wood. It draws its moisture through a conduit system of slender, minutely porous strands. It Is a curious fact, nuyi Science Sitt ings, that wood kept sulllcleutly wet cannot rot. Strange Trade. A colony of women nt Iinckney, ohe of the poor districts of London, Kng Innd, has a peculiar way of earning money. They "mend" nutmegs Hint Is to say. they till up the holes In worm-eaten nnd duuinged nut megs from spice warehouses. This work Is done nt home, the worm holes being filled with a mixture of mil meg dust and gum muda Into n paste; and the poor women for doing this ure paid at the rate of four cents per gross of nutmegs. It may here lie said that even close examination on the part of a casual purchaser could not detect w here the boles hud been. -, His Status.

The fact of your being alive Is what gives you the right to continue trying; age Is only one fuctor; achievement bus many factors. Thought Is a force; hopes are things; dreams do come true; and to the ambitious results are pos sible so long as life continues. This Is why Kipling said, Hall to tho chief; he's the king of them nil; the, dreamer Whose dreams come true. . When you order me to collect your garb ageyour worries on that score are over.
