THE FHANCHISE VOTE Tho defeat of Mayor QlUon'i Spring rlTcr water franchlto I cause tor congratulation to the people of Ilcnd who am Interested In procur ing n puro water supplr. Spring river water la pure and probably will remain so, but engineering dlfflcul ties and costs in connection with tho Ilonhnm Falls reservoir and bringing tho water to Bend make Its use here not feasible. Tho common eenso of tho majority, unbllndcd by prejudice or unreasoning antagonism, decided the question. The franchise was brought Into tho council and given the mayor with no popular demand behind It. No com plaint of tho existing water 'servlco had been made. The council Itself was ready to let the people continue the use of the present water supply for at least two years, possibly long er. So far as is known, it has not contemplated at any. time the making of a complaint to the public service commission. In short, the present supply has been accepted as satisfac tory. Nevertheless, the recent campaign has brought the expectation of Tum alo water to the fore. It Is recog niied that sooner or later the present supply must be abandoned and the Turanlo looked to. As we said dur ing the campaign, the present com pany has made no promises and the vote must be to It especially satisfac tory on that account since it amounts to an expression of confidence. The people are satisfied that the company will do the right thing at the proper time. Still speaking for the people, we urge that plans for the Tumalo water development be proceeded with, especially against the time when the Benham Falls reservoir goes in. The Bulletin has received an In teresting letter on present conditions on the "High Desert" which it Is un able to print because of the lack of authentic signature. If the writer will disclose himself,) the letter will be printed, the name of the writer being omitted, If desired. It Is an inflexible rule of the paper that no communication will be printed un less the name of the writer is known. A Portland paper tells of the ad vantages of having a horse In the basement.

HOW TO RETAIN YOUTH LONG Ltarn to Employ the Pasting Year With Constantly Increasing Wis dom and Discretion. Touth Is a quality, a spiritual energy, and, properly speaking, there Is no old hge," but spiritual decay. "The foot less prompt to meet the morning dew" Is no valid evidence of growing old, any more than to lose n leg In battle. Fussy physical uctlvltles are not the only tests of youth, writes Hlchnrd I.e Galllenne In Harper's Mag azine. That brain of Sophocles which gave us the greatest play at IX), Is more to the point, as also that famous spying recorded of him. In reference to the cooling of the passions with the years, that to grow old was like being set free from service to a band of madmen. Because we grow wiser and stronger, less selfish and generally more useful to our fellows with the passage of the years Is not to say that we have lost our youth. It only means that we have learned how to employ It. We do not run In every direction as we did. We know a little better what we are doing, or what we want to do; but the motive force that enables ns to do It Is that same energy which once drove ns to make fools of ourselves at the beginning, and still provides the same "swift means to radiant ends." Decay, disillusion, weariness; we mean these things when we speak of "growing old," but we fall to realize that these are no necessary accompnnl ments of the years. We may, unfor tunately. Inherit them, or acquire them like bad habits, or through neglect of a proper care and exercise of our splr Hual selves. Spiritual nnd intellectual laziness makes Most people "old before their time." If we lose Interest In life, life will soon lose Interest In us; nnd It Is Just ns possible to achieve a preco cious senility In the twenties as at any later period of our lives. HAVE KEEN SENSE OF HOME Abundant Proof That Birds Return Year After Year to Scenes of Familiarity. Bird lovers have believed for cen turles that migratory birds return to the same home, year after year. Mod ern science has proved this belief to 'e right. Rlrds are caught fn traps Oregon ani? E. P. MAIIAFPKY, . Vice President RippliitfRh HI m w Coffee Evangeline Is howlng n noxious sort of (rink; it might be laundry bluing, it might be brlndlu ink; but coffee she bolicvea It, this bevenigo of death; nnd when her hub receives it he swears beneath his breath. The two were lately married, the bonds jf love are strong, the husband hasn't' carried his grievance very long, he hasn't started brawling, the riot is delayed, though often he's recalling the coffee mother made. And inwardly he's quaking, he knows not what to do; Evangelme is making a most atrocious brew. Her coffee tastes like leather, it gives an awful jolt, and he is asking whether it's time for a revolt. He hates to hurt her feelings, but must he always drink a brew of carrot peelings that puts him on the blink? He hates to spoil the glamor surrounding love's young dream, but he has katzenjammer from coffee that's a scream. It can't go on forever, he'll dump the martyr's crown ; some day his wrath will sever the bonds that hold him down ; some day, the galled possessor of grievances and cares will wreck a costly dresser and break a lot of chairs. Another home, once cheerful, all desolate will be ; a young wife, sad and tearful, will ask for a decree! Though moralists are shoving the customary bunk, no man can keep on loving where coffee is so punk. that clo not hurt them, marked with tiny leghnnds of nlumlnum, ench bear ing a number, and released. Next year, the same birds are caught ngaln In the same locality, often when oc cupying the snme nest. Evldcntlj", n bird's memory for di rection und location must be quite as marvelous ns the older writers be lieved. The catbird winters ns far south as Panama, jet catbirds marked In northern Ohio came back to the same neighborhood, year after year. Sometimes they move n few rods or furlongs, but the frequency wlOi which they return to the very spot Is astounding. Cats tlnd their wuy bnck to the old home ncross a township, horses ucross a county or two, nnd dogs have been known to pass through several states In returning to u beloved master, but birds find their wny across u conti nent, and sometimes over u seu a well. Very Useful Tree. What Is claimed to be the most mar velous of trees grows In Brazil. It Is the enrnnhuhu palm, nnd can be em ployed for many useful purposes. Its roots produce the same medicinal effect as sursnpnrllla. Its sterns nfford strong, light fibres, which acquire n beautiful luster, and sere nlso for Joists rafters and other building mate rials, as well ns for stokes for fences. From parts of tho tree wines anil vine gar are mnde. It yields also u saccha rine suhstnnco. as well as a starch resembling sago. Its fruit Is used lit feeding cattle. The pulp has an ngrei able taste, and the nut, which Is oleagi nous and emulsive. Is sometimes used as a substitute for coffee. Of the wood of the stem musical Instruments, water tubes nnd pumps are made. The' pith Is an excellent substitute for corkj From the stem a white liquid similar, to the milk of the coconut Is obtained and a flour resembling malzena. Teak Wood Highly Valued. Teak, for some purposes the most vnluable of all woods, Is chiefly pro duced commercially by Ilunnn, ul though It Is also supplied by India. Slam and Java. As u plant, teak Is re markable for Its large leaves, which reuch ten to twenty Inches In length and eight to fifteen In breadth, nnd nre so rough that they are until for sand papering. The trees often grow 80 to 100 feet tall, with n circumference of six to ten feet, the largest recorded log cut In Upper Ilurma In 1808, having measured fei ',4 feet In length and yielded ovcr twelve tons of timber. The wood varies from yellow or straw color to n rich brown when first cut. darkening on exposure; sometimes It hns dark and almost black streaks or veins. It Is hard, and very durable. Mystery of Egg Lines. Why are some birds' eggs pure white unil unmarked und others va riously and highly colored, with all sorts of marks upon them, from mi nute dots to scruggly lines? usks the American Forestry Magazine. How are these spots ami markings pro duccd? Nests of birds run all the way from the female laying a single egg on the bare rock on the const, to those laying ten or more eggs In n very elaborate nest built In very dif ferent localities.

On December Si IfCO, writes correspondent, I was In the vicinity of the .Massacre (Hint, of evil repute In the Mutiny of 1857, and saw i vulture over the Ounce. This scav enger bird was apparently on the surface of the water, nnd was flap- ping Its huge wings, for nil the world ns If a small crocodile had gripped Its tnlous mid was trying to drug It nuder. Then I observed u white ol. Ject come to the surface momentarily nnd bob under again. My Interest was amused at the strange proceed' Ings which followed. The vulture dapped Its wings ns the weight of the flotsam told on Its strength. Again the white broke the surface and ns It did so the huge bird, with fully opened wing, appeared to be using Itself In the manner of n sail, nnd. with the help of the breeze, which was blowing, stirred Its prey nut of the mlil-stream, flopping every now nnd then, till at Inst It ran the white object right up on n gently sloping shelf of siitul on the near bank. I!y this time the air was thick with birds, and no sooner had the vulture In question benched Its cap ture than n cluster of like bird" swooped down, and tho wholp com menced nn orgy of fenstlug and fight- Ing. The next day n human skeleton remnlned. HABIT WAS STRONG ON HIM Even Smith's Words of Wisdom Failed to Keep Jones' Attention From Wandering. Smith nnd Jones were personal friends, so one day Smith took a per sonal friend's liberty and said to Jones : "You mustn't take offense If I speak to you about something I have had on my mind for some tlmt Just a little hublt of yours." "Nobody has ever had the nerve to tell you before," Smith continued In a hesltutlng sort of voice, "nnd you ure such a splendid, noble fellow," "Yen, yes," answered Jones. Smith cleared his throat; then, with great determination, launched out: "You'ro one of thorn; fellows who never really know what Is being snld to them; you're always pursuing some train of thought. Any one can tell half the time you are not listening by the faraway look In your eyes. You've offended n lot of people. Of course, It's terribly rude, only jou don't know It. You mustn't any more, old chap" putting his hands on Jones' shoulders. "Promise me you'll not." Jones was then obliged to face his friend. "Just whnt were you suylng?" he Inquired In a faraway voice.
