THE MULE
OR THE GIRL
(Exchange.)
John Jones, fnrmer, went to Ills
burn ono morslng and found there
a brand now mulo colt. Ho rclsed
' it until It was 3 years old, whon $200
was offered for It. Instead of Bell
ing it ho rented It to the city of
Indianapolis for 85 cents a day in
cluding board, stall, shoeing and
niealcal attendance. The mule work
ed 250 days tho first year, earning
$212.50 or $200 net after taxc3, otc.
voro imld. Mr. Jones bought an
other raulo with tho $200 which ho
nlso rented to tho city, and at the
end of tho second year ho had two
mules nnd $400 cash, which ho ln
' vested In two more mules. He kopt
this up $15 ycaro, till his flrot mulo
colt was 18 years old at which time
ho owned 32,707 mules, worth an
cvorugo of $100 each, or $3,270,700.
Tho 19th year thoy earned him a net
income of $6,553,400.
Allco Allen, daughter of Albert
Allen, living aero so tho road from
Jones, was born tho same day tho
mulo colt registered Ita first kick.
Her father fed, clothed and educat
ed her for 17 years at a co3t of $125
n year, and then sent her to business
colleges for a year nt an expense of
$400, making her total coBt at 18
yoars $2,525. When oho was 18
alio got n situation as stenographer
nnd oinco girl with nn Indianapolis
business nouso at ?8 a week, pny
Ing for her own room, board, street
car faro, shoes, doctor bills and as
much clothing as what was left
vould permit.

(Crook County Journal.)
Articles of Incorporation wore filed
this week with tho county clerk for
tho Central Oregon Co-operative
Telephono Company.
The incorporators are: I. 13. Mey

It. Price, C. H. Miller r.nd A. J.

Whllp posltlvo Information Is not
given as to the scopo of tho now con
corn, It Is reliably stated that tho
movo Is n consolidation of practic
ally all tho Independent HneB In this
part of the state.
While it would be the best solution
of affairs, were It possible, to havo
all of these lines In some way con
solidated with tho PacMc system, by
one buying tho interests of tho other,
Including central -nations, yet n movo
by which all tho smaller lines will bo
merged Into a Bystom that will reach
every part of tho territory Is a groat
step in ndvance, and will make much
better servlco possible.

m I: "Swat the Eggs" 1
Belter Than
I "Swat the Fly" jj
WH-HH-WH-H-I-l-t-HHH-I-H-m-H
"OWAT tho fly" is n good wnrcry.
3 but It Is like locking tho stnblo
after tho horso Is stolen. Tlicio
Is a better one, "Swut tho eggs." Prob
ably every magazlno nnd newspaper
In the United States printed Inst tea
son from" ono toujJcoroaf.Qrraliaimuuta
of tho common liouselly tho dlsenso
breeder, tho typhoid Uy. tho infantile
paralysis fly; In a word, tho twentieth
century pest, an enemy of mankind.
"Swat tho Uy" has becomo tho slogan
of the dny.
For every fly killed in June there will
bo 10.000 less in July. 1.000.000 less
in August and by September tho
most ambitious boy. eager to cam tho
prize for the greatest number of flics
killed, couldu't possibly lift thu progeny
of this slnglo fly which escaped him lu
tho springtime. All very true, but
ivhcro will all thoso flies lay their eggs
and rear their precious bublcs? Can
wo find the nests, can wo destroy them
by wholesale, the larvao or the eggs?
Wo can, easily nnd cheaply, and every
city with ordinary regulations may be
como a flylcss town. Files breed lu
filth, nud if you get after those places
It will save a lot of swatting later on.
Our goverumeut has carried on an
cxtcnslvo experiment with mauuro
piles nnd tho eggs which each fcnmlo
fly deposits therein by tho thousand
and has found tho remedy. It Is ordi
nary borax, ono of tho cotnmonent and
cheapest of minerals, produced lu
abundance In tho United States, and It
takes very llttlo to mako tbo fly egg
quite worthless as u future fly. Borax
costs about 5 cents a pound, and tho
crudo borax mineral, colemanlte, con
siderably less, wbllo three-fifths of a
pound sprinkled through ten cubic feet
about eight bushels of manure will
kill 09 per cent of the eggs and mag.
gota of tho fly.
Caught by Burning
Near La Pino.
A fire, which started from burn
ing brush, burned ovor approximate
ly 125 ncrco of ground six miles west
of Ln Pino Sunday afternoon. Tho
flro was locnted In tho small Jack
plno nnd did not reach tho moro val
uable yellow plno In thnt section.
Sunday's flro was tho 27th flro of
tho prcsont season in tho Jurisdiction
of tho local forest oillco. It Is
thought that the flro season lu tho
Deschutes National Forest has be
gun. Tho forest oMcinla aro now In
u hotter condition to combat Arcs
than during tho past year.
