valleys with a dee. carpet of green
that browns only with the late sum

The cause of the difference from
jther counties In tail region is that
the county is sur.oinded on all sides
by mountain ranges, the Wallowa
and Blue Mountains shielding us on
the south and soithweu from the
hot winds that sweep over csntrai
and eastern Oregon and southern
Idaho. Thee same mountains, with
the highest peaks in the state, break
the heavy .rainclouds causing mor?
precipitation in this county than
anywhere else around by several
inches. The Blue mountains a!s
guard against the cold we.it and
northwest winds. The high hiils of

The deep canyons, the magnificent

A TELEPHONE NEWSPAPER.
American telephone subscribers
are familiar vn'.h the use of the cen
tral switchboard operator for the dis
seminator of news. Any good na
tured operator will give one the time,
of day upon request, and in the
smaller towns one can often find ou'
where the fire is and whether tr not
they have caught the man who broke
into Squire Millers barn. But It has
remained for Budapest, way off in
telephoncically barbarous Europe, to
nake the completest use of the tele
.mane as a news bureau.
The scheme is a news service',
which is turned on at stated times
throughout the day. In the morning
the day"s program is announced, so
that the subscriber may take up his
receiver and listsn whenever the
things that he is interested in are on
tap. There are hours for stock quo
tations and business news, parlia
roentary news and weather forecasts.
In the late afternoon cafe music is
turned on, and in the evening opera.
Thus does the Budapest Telephone
company make eavesdropping end
gossiping on the wire a source of
profit to them, as they charge their
patrons J7.31 per year (2 cents a
Jay) for this service. It is as if the
whole city were on oae party wire
with everybody llrtening to what is
going on.
It Is not likely that America will
soon adopt the Budapest plan. With
our newspapers coming out every
hour, our "tickers- with business and
sporting news, and our omniscient,
all-wise American "hello" girls, the
need is fairly well me'. Success
