George Keiser, a brother-in-law
of Johnny Fowells, is minu3 t!ie
ends of two fingers on his right
hand. It happened one dy this
week and a eoph-r gun . did th
work. Mr. Kiaer owns what is
known as the Norton place in the
edga of Corvallip, and is a compar
ative newcomer to Oregon and
therefore unacquainted with gopher
guns. Only .a moment before the
accident, Sam Kerr looked down
the barreibf the gun, pronnunced
it unloaded, and Mr. Reiser then
proceeded to see how the iruohinn
worked with the result mention
ed. Mr. Kerr has reason to be
thankful that he was not beheaded
by the treacherous little weapon.-
It is an old saying that "any fool
can make a joke but" it requires a
smart man to take one." it may
also be addd that it is easy, very
easy, to agitate a reform, but it is
not al way 8 so easy to practice what
you preach. To illustrate: Chief
Lane is the busiest person one ever
saw when it comes to 6tirring up
the dear people on the subject of
digging up the troublesome thistles,
and when the concrete Bidewalk
ordinance passed recently, Chief
Lane was one of the most ardei.t
advocates of the hew measure.
But, sad to relate, Chief Lane is
haulina lumber to build the com
monest kind cf a common board
walk along his premises, and with
a villianous look in nis eye he cau
tioned the reporter to not mention
the fact, on pain of instant ' death.
And meantime the thistles are de
clared to'be in bloom in the chief s
back yard, ;all ot which proves
again that it is easier, to preach
mi r r IT i .
than to practice. -r"tf f

Why Not Use Electric Lights?
Stop scratching matches on jour .wall.
Those streaky match scratches look
mighty bad on any wall. But as long as
you continue to use gas or oil you've got
to use matches.
The "matchless light" is the electric
light, a simple twist of the wrist rioes it.
We are improving and perfecting our
lighting service in this city and can give
better service for less money than ever
in the bietory of the city.
