rehearsals regularly ana Keep up reg
ular practice at home. Regular re
hearsals are held every Friday after

esates. will attend. Among the latter
number will be past chancellors of the
grand lodge and of subordinate lodges

sions although they are not delegates.
One of the chief duties of the session

came vacant through the death of Mr.

Colts Make Good Showing.
Evan Evans is the owner of a Per
cheron mare of which he is justly
proud, three of her four colts at the
recent state tair having taken nrst
premiums while the fourth was
awarded second prize. In 1911 and
1912 this mare was awarded grand
championship prizes, bhe was not en

which is eleven years.
Little Girl In Hospital.

but the operation was successful and
the little lady is on the road to rapid
recovery.
Ford Interferes With Street Car
Traffic and Demolishes Fences.
A man living down at Monmouth is
willing to bet 20 to 1 that the mean
est horses never were as balky as
some automobiles.
He is George T. Boothby, a promi
nent stockman, who has been dealing
in horses all his lite. He hns mltlen
on horseback over every h'ail and by
path between the Cascade mountains
and the coast, and it is said that he
has lieen able to ride any kind of a
"hoss" from the wildest range pony
down to the family mare.
But not long ago Mr. Boothby for
sook the horse and bought a Fan'
automobile, and 'he has had such a
tough time breaking in the new rig
that he has run out ot suitable aa
iectives.
Even yet, however, the Ford is not
"bridlewise.
The-other day, so friends say, while
Mr. Boothby was driving in style
down through the streets of Eugene,
his car "shied" at a charging street
car and clipped a fr actional dividend
off the corporation receipts.
Later, while returning to his home
in Polk, the car skidded on a country
road and landed in a deep ditch quick
er than a flash. But Mr. Boothby
wasn't to be stumped by that sort of
bucking. Without allowing the thing
to stop, he dug his spurs into the in
ternals of the thing. Sure enough he
got out of the ditch. But in doing
so he had pulled the bridle the wrong
way, so to speak. As a result the
car carved out a few sections of stub
born fence and landed in a peaceful
field that gave him enough rope to
ramble lor the balance ot the day
without interference.
Mr. Boothby has a hard time now
relating the antics of his new vehicle
in the language of the fraternity of
stockmen, but the laughs that his
vans provoke indicate that he ex
presses his feelings fairly well. Ore
