BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE
And J will yife thorn one heart, and one way, that they
may fear me for ever for the good of them, and of their
children after them. Jeremiah 32:39.
Completing the Rail Map
ruruhase by the Southern Pacific of the Nevada, Cali
fornia and Oregon, extending from Susanvillu, California, to
Lakevicw, Oregon, and of the Oregon, California and Eastern,
or Slrahorn railroad, projected to connect Klamath Falls and
Lakevicw, will, with the Natron Cut-off, provide the Southern
Pacific a short-cut to the Ogden gateway which will be the
main line for future transcontinental business from Oregon,
413 miles shorter than the circuitous route now traversed
via Roseville. The new line will branch from the present
route at Eugene, thence via Klamath Falls and Lakevicw,
connect with the main line at Susanville, near the California
Nevada border.
The Southern Pacific thus annexes to Oregon the south
central portion of the state, the business of which now goes
to California, which has furnished most of the capital for its
development, and which has had the advantage of rail con
nection. It opens the Portland and valley market to the
livestock and produce of this region and provides a direct
route east for lumber and other products of western Oregon.
Activity of the Southern Pacific is due to the announced
intention of the Great Northern-Northern Pacific interests
to extend to Klamath Falls to secure a share of the lumber
business, and from thence probably into California to invade
Southern Pacific preserves. As it was the Hill invasion that
stirred up the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific activity of
fifteen years ago, so it is the tardy carrying out of James J.
Hill's plans now that is responsible for the present costruction
and expansion era.
Announcement of Southern Pacific plans, will in all prob
ability only strengthen the determination of the northern
lines to invade the same region. Surveying parties are already
in the field for an extension from Bend as an alternative to
a common user privilege of the Southern Pacific lines. If
the latter can be forced, the Oregon Electric could then
utilize the Natron Cut-off as well as the builders.
These moves will eventually force tire Union Pacific to
complete its line across the state .via Ontario and Burns and
probably over one of the Sanliam passes into the Willamette
valley, thus completing the railroad map of Oregon a
consummation dcvoutlv to be wished.

TWO IUUDS WITH OX 12 STONE!
It alarmed mo to see how much
Nathalie liked Phil Iceland. lie
was at her apartment frequently,
and they went out a great deal to
gether.
Of course, I should have been
delighted. I had wanted her to
go out with other men, thinking
that her own husband might real
l.e that he was t very attractive.
Having other men appreciate her
might awaken him to her charms,
I had thought.
Uut my plan had run away with
itself.' I didn't like the way It was
going.
Yet I had nothing definite
against Phil Lelantl. 1 couldn't be
sure that he had taken my gold
mesh bag and Nathalie's bracelet.
I couldn't go to her and say that it
was because of her money that he
is attracted to her.
I was delighted to see her hav
ing a good time. Jordan had neg
lected her for 60 long, and been
so unkind to her, that it was ages
.since she had gone anywhere. She
loved dancing, going to new plays.
meeting new people. It was mak
ing her years younger, as it doe?
my woman.
"Was I to step In and spoil all
this, because of my suspicions that
weren't even well grounded?
1 told myself that It would be
absurd to do so. Until there was
real proof against Leland, all I
could do was to keep watch over
Nathalie, and help her to have a
good time.
Nick's affairs weren't going the
way I had planned, either. I had
sueeeeded in arousing his ex-wife,
and making her want Nick buck.
After that afternoon at the Plaza
she had telephoned him, and writ
ten him twice, asking him to come
to see her.
Hut Niek refused to go.
"It will make her much more
earer if I don't' he told me. "And
besides, I'm not so keen a boll t no
ing." ' -
"You still euro for her?"
"Sure more or less. Itut well
the truth is, Nancy, that I'm be
ginning to be pretty fond of you
I don't want to give you up."
"Oh, Nick, don't fall in love with
me!" I exclaimed. "I well, it
wouldn't do the least bit of good.
"Because I haven't tiny money,
he said. "I know. Hut I'm going
to have a lot more very soon, if a
little deal I'm Interested in turns
out as It's pretty sure to."
I wished he hadn't said that
Somehow, playing matrimonial
hop-scotch doesn't appeal to me.
All my life I've seen men ami wo
men trading wives and husbands,
marrying without much thought of
.sticking "together If tilings don't
go just right.
And there's nn old-fashioned
strain In me that doesn't up prove.
I ve never told people that. When
I let Jim go off to the islands I
pretended to everyono that I did
n't rare, that I was glad to let him
go and be comparatively free
again.
Now, if I wanted to, I could gel
a divorce from .ffm and marry
Nick. What n farce.
I resolved once more to pat eh
things up between Niek and his
former wife and the fact that
Nick had partly changed his mind
ibout wanting to have things pateh
ed up didn't matter n hit.
A way of killing two birds with
one stone occurred -O me. Niek
mustn't see me no often, if he
thought he was falling in Jove with'
me, and Nathalie must not see Phil,
Lel.ind o frequently.
"Niek. I wish you'd help me I
with Nathalie Jordan," I said prea
ently. "I'm worried ubout her."
- "She certainly doesn't look as if
she needed anyone's assistance,"
ho answered.
"I know,, it, but she does. Sho
and her husband have sort of
iioparated, and she's living in her
mother's apartment. And she's go
ing about too much with your
friend Leland. Now, why don't you
devote yourself to her? She's a
charming person, very interesting,
really. And you'll bo doing a good
turn K you do."
"Meanwhile what about you?"
ho asked. "I thought you wore go
ing to let me go around a lot with
you so that my ex-wife would be
jealous."
"Well, we've made her Jealous,
and you won't follow up your lead
there," I answered. "I've done
what I tried lo, and she's written
and telephoned you, and you won't
go . to see her. That lets mo out."
"Do you mean ' that do you
mean that unlets I lake advantage
of that you won t go out wuu me
any more?"
I nodded my head.
"Then then, by (ieorge, I'll go
to see her tomorrow!" he exclaim
ed. "And if I do. will you- uine
with me tomorrow evening?"
Yes, with Nathalie ana jemnu,
also," I answered.

Dissolution a Mistake
The last legislature amended the hih school laws so as to
permit adding to the Remixed cost of maintaining high school
dm ing the year for which taxes arc levied the cost of trans
portation and the interest on investment after deducting
depreciation. This will therefor increase the high school tax
in individual districts to an amount greater than in union
districts.
The union high school at Gervais is an example. Because
the union high school lax was 3.4 mills this year as against
a county high-school tax of 3.1 mills, an election has been
called nixin petitions to vote upon dissolving the union dis
trict. However under the new law, when transiortalion costs
and interest are included in the county tax, the levy for the
several oil districts will another year be higher than in the
union district.
Union high schools are of great advantage to the youth of
the country. There are not enough pupils to justify
in 'ividual district high schools, even if the maintenance cost
was not excessive, but the union of several districts solves
the problem and it is a mistake to dissolve union districts
where the results have been satisfactory, even if taxes could
be slightly reduced which they will not be.
