or mules behave and move on.
Some have turned the hose on the
obstinate critters, others have ap
plipd fence rails with considerable
force as prescribed by Sunny Jim
poured water in their ears, built fires
under them, or pounded their fore
legs with clubs for an. hour or so,
with all sorts of results. Yet balky
horses and mules continue to exist
and ht mane societies multiply. But
this stale of affairs will undoubted
ly pass into ancient history once
the world at large learns of the ex
istence of Charles Davis, 'of this
county, and his unique remedy for
making a balky horse behave.
Mr. Davis is in charge of the
horses used in hauling logs to the
Charter Oak Saw Mill Co.'s plant,
located near Airlie, this county.
To snake an oak log out of the av
erage Oregon forest almost justifies
any old animal cultivating a mule
ish temperament, even under the
best of circumstances. But when
the critters are natural born think
ers along one line to begin with, the
task involved in supplying the mill
with logs, says Mr; Davis, is not
conducive to clear sailing for the
men holding the reins, particularly
when the roads are crude, dotted
with tree stumps, and up hill and
down.
But a few months ago Mr. Davis
made what is considered a real,
sure-enough discovery, one that is
said to be not only an effectual but
a humane way to cure a balky
horse. It happened while he was
on the way to the mill with a heavy
oad of logs on a truck. His team
consisted of a good pulling horse
logs with the lines in one hand and
a whip in the other, Mr. Davis then
yelled with almost fiendish joy
"Now, darn your Missouri carcass
git up!" And the thoroughly ng
tated animal almost jumped out of
the harness, so eager, was it to get
away from , that peb'ble torture,
And it has been a very docile cri
ter ever since.
Mr. Davis says he has had occa
sion to apply the same remedy to
two balky horses since his first ex
perience arid in both cases it ha
proved an effective cure. As th
application- is a humane one i
t i i i
ougnt to Decume popular every

He is engaged in falling timber for
the Bryan-Lucas Lumber Co. The
sawmills of this company and the
Watkins company are located four
miles out and the lumber is flumed
into Falls City. Each company
is operating a big planing mill in
the city, giving employment, to 160
men at good wages. Mr. McAllis

Mr. McAllister says he felled a
tree at the camp, last week, out of
which he secured three 16-foot
sticks, two 24-foot, one J 3-foot and
one 18-footer before any limbs were
encountered. This tree was 38
inches through at the bottom. An
other tree, with a two-foot stump,
yielded five 80-foot log. A three
foot tree at the stump was cut into
ten 16-foot sticks. One stick 16

Catarrh of The Stomach.
When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inflames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes the glands
to secret mucin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This
is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
For years I suffered with Catarrh

IMPROVED FAIR GROUNDS
Water System Costing $5,000 Will
Add to Comfort of Exhibitors
and Campers.
The State Board of Agriculture
is making a number of needed im
provements at the state fair
grounds this year. A new water
system costing $5,000 is being put
in which will add much comfort to
the exhibitors and campers. More
new stalls are being built to better
accommodate the large number of
exhibitors that are preparing to
come to the fair. A large amphi
theatre is being built, where visit
ors caij be seated and witness the
livestock judging under cover.
Many minor improvements are be
ing made to make a visit to the fair
a pleasant event and a joy forever.

latter being a new addition to the
stable. Everything moved along
smoothly with .Mr. Davis and his
charge until an up-hill pull was
encountered. Here the mule
bucked.- Coaxing, profanity in big
gobs, together with a wholesome
application .of the blac.ksnake by
the driver, availed "not. The mule
continued to stand pat and perfect
ly rigid.
Mr. Davis had been made ac
quainted with the mettle of the
mule, but he paid no attention to
the advice given him, as he had
handled horses all his life and
never failed before to make them
come to taw. But this particular
animal seemed to be of very hard
formation ui.il things looked really
bad for the head teamster. Finally
he sat down along the roadside,
near one of the breed of animals
that made Missouri famous, to
diagnose the case. The strong, powerfully-built
mule looked straight
ahead without batting an eye.
In casting his optics toward the
balky animal's teet Mr. Davis no
ticed that the ground was covered
with small pebbles. Without any
fixed purpose ho picked up a hand
ful, -and then it occurred to him to
shoot one of the pebbles, like a boy
does marbles, at the mule's nose.
The tiny rock was accurately aimed,
but the mule did not deign to no
tice it. An instant later another
pebble landed on the nasal organ
of Mr. Mule, then another and an
other, until a full dozen hit the
bullseye. The stubborn animal
then "noticed" the bombardment
for the first time by snorting. This
encouraged Mr. Davis in his short
range shooting tournc., and he
continued his rapid fire of pebbles.
The constant jabbing was begin
ning to irritate the-mule and cause
him to switch his chain of thought,
unlimber his legs, and finally shake
his head in all directions in an en
deavor to get his nose out of range
of the pebbles. But Mr. Davis fired
away as fast he could until the
animal whined, howled and danced
around with evident fear and pain,
and was covered with foam and
rage and woe. ,

produced 1,800 feet of lumber.'VNot
withstanding these figures, Mr. Mc-
Allister says the tree-fallers have
not reached the real good timber
as yet.. He ali?o avers that deer
in large numbers roam through the
woods where he is at work every
day and that trout fishing in the
creeks is of the best.
Mr, McAllister says Falls City is
growing very rapidly and is des
tined to be one of the leading cities
in the county in the very near fu
ture.

ESSENTIALS OF THE FAIR
Engineer Huber Makes Estimates of
Work on Grounds.
Evening Telegram.

position Company, showed in his
detailed report, submitted to the

essentials of the Fair. According
to bis figures, there will be suffic
ient revenue to build an excellent

leave a balance besides to take care
of emergencies. He estimates that
the receipts from concessions and
admissions will take care of the
operating expenses.

sion tickets, it is thought-, will be
sold. The total income from ad
missions and concessions, includ-
ng sales of exhibit spafe and sal
vage at the close of the show, is

Special entertainment features,
with abundance of good munie,
should be provided, inasmuch as a
large part of the attendance must
come from nilhin 200 to 300 miles
of Portland. It is not too early to
begin the training of an exposition
chorus of several hundred voices.
Actual construction of buildings
should begin not later than next
Spring. Eighteen months' time is
between the present and the open
ing of the show, and preliminary
sketches of architects for the build
ings should be under way at the
present time.
Buildings and grounds must he
completed, artistic-ally lighted dur
ing the evening, and the lighting
facilities must be extra god on
account of the crowds in the eve
ning. A lignt-distribuling station
will cost 1370,516.
Concession features suggested:
1. Intramual railway from main
Exposition grounds to neck of the
Peninsula, near the Northern Pa
cific Railway embankment.
2. Aerial tramway from highest
point of the main Exposition
grounds to the Peninsula proper.
3. Boat concessions canoes, elec
tric launches, gondolas and other
light craft to transport passengers
from main Exposition grounds to
Peninsula. In this conneetion I
would suggest the Indian village at
one terminus and the Samoan vil
lage at the other. These Indians
should represent, according to his
torical traditions, the tribes en
countered by Lewis and Clark on
their expedition to the coast.
4. A captive baloon to rise from
500 to 1000 feet. '
5. A Wild West show on a small
scale showing the roping of cattle
and horses, overland 6tage, hold
ups, warfare between Indian tribes
and Indians and soldiers. Space
for this could be afforded in the
large area of the Peninsula and
Exyosilion grounds when not used
otherwise for a stock exhibit.
6. Restaurants. These should
be numerous and of graded quali- ,
ty. Under this head would come
