At one time ha was engaged in the installation of heavy machinery. The new types of construction and machinery as ex I plained by Mr. Carrillo proved ot much intreest to him. One thing that made an Impression on him was that the valley will not have to depend upon impounded waters for irrigation purposes. In other projects huge reeervolrs must be constructed to hold back suffi cient water to irrigate the lands be low. Here we depend upon the nat ural flow of the stream which will provide a constant supply of water for the valley Another phase ot the reservoir type is that there is only a certain stated amount ot water for each acre of land. In the local dis trict the supply is never diminished but remains constant. Mr. Quale has just returned from a trip that has covered the various ir rigation projects of the state, and he viewed the Grants Pass district with an eye that could weigh it compara tively, and the comparison was fav orable. Such men are in a position to do the district a wonderful amount of good, for the newcomer will go to his organization for information. INSURANCE DEPENDABLE lines See T M. Stolt.

Hie mean» of communication betwccii neighbors Is sometime» a mat ter of serious Inconvenience. Their only means of communication Is by dog sledge or on foot. But I once saw an Interesting example of Labrador ean Ingenuity In sending a message, writes Temple .Manning In the Cleve land Plain Dealer. The tuan with whom I had come to spend the night had a brotlker whom he wished me to meet. This brother lived five miles across what appeared to tie an unbroken stretch of snow and Ice. without even a tree tietneen. My host spoke of sending his brother word to come over for a visit, ami I won dered how he was going to do It. 1 was soon enlightened. He took a stout piece of board, wrote his message on it. attached to It a rvi>e. and then called bls dog team to him. Harnessing the leader, he tied the rope to the trace, and then, with a cut of bls long whip, sent the leader dashing away. After him ran all the team barking and yelping at the board that bounded and skidded over the snow In an amazingly short space of time the brother appeared, his sled double- harnessed, with my host's team In the lead. The leader seemed very proud, and I think he knew what had been required of him. and that he had ac complished his mission faithfully. Shakespeare tn "As You Like It" says “the poor world Is almost fl.WM) years old." but geologists began to abandon that idea two generations ago. The Jewish Encyclopedia article. “Chronology." states that the figures given In the genealogies of Genesis— of which there are three distinct ver sions, the Hebrew, the Samaritan and the Greek—are mythical, and the Qatholic Encyclopedia, under the same caption, poluts out that In the year 4000 B. C. great kingdoms were al- ready In existence. The two greatest geologists that this continent has produced—Junies Dwight Dana and Sir John William t»awson. of UcGlll university, Montreal—both of them extremely devout men. after starting out with orthodox views on the subject, made radical changes In the latest editions of their works.

Rudyard Kipling's conception of a pair of sea serjwr.ts—great white, blind pathetic creatures risen from the primordial ooze—made a corking yarn, but It wasn't a bit more Imagi native than the grisly description penned in all seriousness centuries ago by Olaus Magnus, archbishop of l_'p- sala. The worthy archbishop wrote: 'Their forms are horrible, their beads square, all set with prickly, and they have sharp and long horns about, like a tree rooted up by the root*. They are 10 or 12 cubits long, very black and with huge eyes, the compass whereof is about 8 or 10 cu bits. The eye la red and flery colored which In the dark night appear» to fishermen afar off under waters as a burning Are. having hairs like go»»«- feathers, thick and long, like a beard banging down. The rest of the body, for the greatness of the head, which Is square. Is very small, not being above 14 or 15 cubits long. One of those sea monsters will easily drown many greut ships."

"This club Is off balance." he re marked to the clerk, as he Jiggled a nice looking brassle. “That Is a special-order club. !<et me have it. please," said the clerk nervously, piquing the curiosity of the shopper. The manager, an old friend of the golfer happened along Just then. "Bill," asked the customer, "what the deuce 1» the matter with this clul^ Just heft the darn thing.

The Jewish law delclared the <1<>g "unclean," and the most offensive epithet a Jew could use was to declare a man “a dead dog."
