When the Seals Come,
Buy Them
A LITTLE before Christmas, you will
be offered some Christmas Seals.
Keep them and use them on envelopes and
packages. Send a check or money order
to cover the small sum they cost.
When you do this, you help in the
fight against tuberculosis. You help save
human lives. Your help goes where help
is most needed to the
house that is clouded with
the threat of death. When
the seals come, buy them.

BRING ANEW MEMBER. 7
To Open Soon
The last of the plaster is Icing
put on the Harpham hotel to hv
and a day or two more will com
plete the carpenter work. This
building in one respect is unique
in that no part of the weight of
the interior rests on the brick
walla of the structure. Mr.
Harpham has built heavy V
arches regularly along the sides,
resting on pillars which serve as
foundation for the second story,
that in case of fire the walls
would remain perfect and could
be used in a second building.
The new furnishings have ar
rived and will be placed soon,
when the hotel will be opened
for formal business. Mrs. Eva
Harpham will have charge of
the culinary department and
Miss Violet Gosser will take care
of the dining room. Mr. Harp
ham, Jame3 and Lawrence will
be found capable helpers.

Snakes vs. Honey
One often hears of a bear with
a sweet tooth when it comes to
honey, but with our old friend
the rattlesnake now, that's a
different matter. Who , ever
heard of a normal Oregon side
winder with a sweet fang?
Not one, but many such have
a delectable taste for wild h( ney
if a story imparted to The Chron
icle today at the state highway
commission office is to be given
any credence.
N. W. Reese, engineer, btais
the onus of this tale, which is
passed on unabridged altouc.h
we reserve the right to mental
reservations.
According to Reese, explora
tion of the rock fiseue on the new
highway up Eight Mile, where a
ballot' rattlesnakes was found
last week, revealed a honey cache
vuiiLauiiHg mice uiiijitcibLU! Ul
Nature's confection. Sweet
fang or not, the snakes were ex
terminated and the highway
workers took the honey
The snakes were only a , few
inches from the honev- the lr ?,
naturally to be presumed iho
manufactors and sole proprietois
were not.
One would be prone to assume
that the rattlers gobbled the
bees, there being a sympathy be
tween the two, each packing a
nice brand of stinger, but the
workers up Eight Mile helieve
otherwise. They think the rat
tlers moved in on the honey be
cause they had a taste for it,
and decided to den up there bo
side a full quota of winter rations
Anyway, that's that! Chron

Real Snowstorm
Monday night, shortly before
midnight, the congestion of the
clouds which have hovered over
this section was releived by a
snowfall which continued most
of the time for 36 hours, giving
the ground a covering of one foot
in Maupin, reaching nearly twice
that in some parts of higher dis
tricts where it has drifted to
some extent.
