Provided Us.
The Parents' Meeting and
Grange Rally in Alsea last Sat
urday brought together one of the
largest crowds assembled in our
neighboring valley for a long
time. The work consisted of dis
cussions of subjects in touch with
our schools and Grange. Supt.
Denman spoke upon the subject

minister, while in the midst of
his sermon, noticed oneof the
parishioners peacefully sleeping.
The divine suspended his dis
course and addressed 'Wullie' in
a loud tone and then gave him
a severe rebuke.
"Wullie" was very angry and

an indignant speech, protesting
against the humiliation which

Seven dollars will enable the
visitor to the Lewis and Clark
Exposition to see every conces
sion on the Trail, the amusement
thoroughfare of the Centennial.
At St. Louis it cost in the neigh
borhood of $30.00 to see the
"Piko" with its seventy shows
many of which were not worth
the price of admission. The Trail
oflers thirty-five of the finest at
tractions ever included in an ex
position. Fancy seeing thirty
five shows for seven dollars.
The most expensive conces
sion on the Trail is the Carnival
of Venice, a spectacular produc
tion designed by the VKing of
Ballet," Bolossy Kiralfy. The
pr.ice. of sdraission to this attrac
tion is 50 Cents, and after ; seeing
the show the fee will be pro
nounced reasonable. Five hun
dred persons participate, on the
stage. The scene is laid in
Venice and bv means of some
very fine scenic offerings the illu
sion is faithfully carried out, even
to the camels of that Italian city.
The canals are of real water.
The carniyal of Venice is a terp
sichorean extravaganza of the
highest order.
Leaving the Carnival of Venice
the visitor meanders over to the
Homer Davenport Farm. Pay
ing twenty-five cents he enters
and beholds the foremost cartoon
ist of the world cotafottably seat
ed on a rustic bench before - 5
crudely built log house. Sur
rounding the illustrious penman
are Hundreds ot blooded fowls
several specimens of horses of
Arabian blood and a magnificent
Eambletonian. Davenport will
be found affable, urbano and dem
ocratic, and if the visitor is ot
tne rignt sort tne cartoonist may
offer him a modest sketch as a
memento.
Across the way from Daven
port's is the Klondike mining ex
hibit. This concession is . pre
eminent from' an educattona
standpoint and offers the visitor
truthful portrayal of mining
methods in vogue in the gold
fields of Alaska. : The buildings
that house the show are designed
inside in panoramo effect and a
full-sized placer mine is found in
operation. Clean-ups of real gold
worm $10,000 are made every
hour. The admission is 2 s cents,
Following the Trail the visitor
enters the Streets of Cairo, pay
ing a fee of fifteen cent. He

keep off of mv grass "you Coxie-
ite?" Wherever cows or horses
re' staked they eat the tender
grass, leaving trie tougner Duncn
es and weeds, thereby giving to
the street a ragged appearance
for the remainder of the sea
son. Besides along the edge of
many sidewalks grow rank grass
and weeds, which when nature
bends over the walks, so that
adies, and men, too, get bedrag
gled when they are wet with dew
or rain. There are a few. who
will not permit their grass , in
front of their premises to be dis
turbed until large enough to be
mowed. They have the neatest
street front in the city .
Many have, stake ropes a few
nches longer than the law allows.
Would it not be good for neat
ness for the city to make an Or
dinance forbidding the staking of
any animal within certain limits,
especially in the business parts
and along the most traveled
streets? They should require
every property owner to keep the
grass neatly ' mowed along - his
premises. This would give uni
formity in appearance, prevent
ragged pasturage, and keep clean
along the edges of the walks.
Beside it would prevent the litter
made by the animals themselves
from drawing swarms of flies,
ready t enter every door and
window in the vicinity. In said
prescribed limit those with ani
mals would be more than willing
to cut the grass, weeds and all,
and feed to their stock in their
barns. They would get more
grass and the people be less an
noyed with unpleasant odors and
ewer flies. , . M.
