to the length of the life of the pole.

tinue to arrive each week from the vari

several months or even a year or two in

it goes, but it does not go far enough.
Corvailis and Bentoa county should not
be satisfied to sit down and fold their

accomplished; rather should they be
rustling more money to pay for more ad

dwellings, engage in more enterprises,
and join in the general movement for a
bigger, better ana richer Oregon. It's up
to them. Let s watch em.

It isn't pleasant, sometimes, to be forced

but it has to be done, and thereby bangs
a tale. The chief was meandering along
Main street, Sunday, with never a thought
of ill will towards his fellowmen, when
suddenly, in passing a stairway, ho be
held a sight that made his fatherly soul
sick. It was a group of small urchins
evidently bent on mischief, for in the
mouth of each was the end of a nasty,
nasty cigarette. xrue, there was no
smoke curling upward from the vile
weeds, but with a tightening of the lips,
indicating great determination, the chiaf
halted and approached the culprits.
'Here, yon kids, throw awav those cigar
ettes" commanded the big, fierce police
man, but a wide-eyed stare was bis only
reply. "I say, bevs, take those dirty
things out of your mouths," reiterated
the chief, when the smallest boy of the
lot plucked up courage to falter, "Why,
mi;ter, they're caudy. Don't you want
one?" And then the guardian of Corvai
lis' peace promptly offered to treat the
crowd at the nearest candy store.
