FEB. 13. .....1914 ' The oew paroels post rates bid fair to push Unole Sam ibto the freighting tosineee I in isolated, districts, or else abaDdoo.some of the star mail routes altogether, Ia eeotiona of the country inaooessible to railway service, the freight, wagon has been the ooly means of transportation, bat the in crease in weight shipments by paroels post which weDt into effeot January 1, makes it possible to handle freight shipments in 60 ponnd lots at obeaper rates than is possible for the freight wagons to handle it. It now appears that the government will either have to oot down servioe on these star route or else inangnrate a eliding schedule, whereby the weights and rates in foroe prior to January 1 would continue to be applicable to districts isolated from railway facilities. Ex Senator Bourne takes the view that the oiiginal 60 mile and 160-mile zones should have been retained with the rates that were self supporting, and that if the depaitment made the mistake of establishing one rate for the two distances, it should not try to avoid the oonseqnenoes by reducing or discontinuing star rente servioe. California led last year in timber sold from national forests, though Montana had the largest number of sale transactions.

"Whether Jonathan Bourne will enter the lists as a oandldate for the republican nomination for United States Senator, is silll au open ques tion and the answer deponds upon the j attitude of the voters of tbo state," - nays a prejode to a letter from Jon- atban Bourne in the Portland Journal of recent date. Sure, The snooesg of any candidate depends upon the action taken by the voters. Nor is Bourne an exception. But from bis letter, it would appear tbat he would like to ij". lie fears that tbe limitations wbioh the corrupt practices act puts npon distributwW-fCW,tbeBonrne s ick makes it an absurd impossibility lot him to muzzle a hostile state press. Two years ago when a candidate, he huts, he made no campaign, npeot less tlian 100 and wrote . less than 800 li'ltets. Had he nogleoted his work i t Washington and returned to Oregon tad gone over' the '.state, be believes .that be would have fceon nominated y n nd elected by a large majority. Well, there's nothing to Keep bim in Wash-i-Rlou now and the tunning is as good dure as it ever was, so with tbe vvoaderful record set foitu in tbe let ter to back bim, we would extend Jonathan an iuvitatiou to make the ruce this year, but for two reasons: lie belongs to tbe republican party, so ii'd their plaoe to extend tbe iovlta tl m; and secondly, we never oould see why Jonathan persisted in slighting NiiSfaohusetts, in favor of Orrgon, for Lis senatorial t attle-ground. But it's duoots to cookies that Mr. Bourne will be b candidate in the Oregon pri maries he oao't keep out of them. The Mayor of Ilostou, Texas, and several Bishops have placed tbe bffn upon tbe tango, However, tbe tango still continues to rage. Fur an un prejudiced view of this terpsiohoieau aooomplishment, we pass it along to Wood; Tbe colonel it a graceful old codger on the ball room floor, so it is reported from Weston and eveiy oue would delight in seeing him gyrate through the intiioaoies of the dauoe tbat started down in Argentine and which has traveled with the spaed of tho ohiuook until it has loaobed the igloo of tbe Esquimaux. Betobee the colonel can tango.

When They Reach the Wonderful "Oil Spot" Off Sabine Pass. A freak of nature never fully de scribed Is tbe wonderful "oil spot." sit uated about ten miles south of Sabine pass, into which flows the Sabine river to the gulf of Mexico. The river forms the boundary between the states of Louisiana mid Texas. Tbe "oil spot" extends two miles along shore and sea ward about three-quarters of a mile. A storm from the northeast, by way of east to southeast, has a rate of from 300 to 700 miles across the gulf of Mexico into tbis mystic haven. During a gale this spot is wonder fully defined. Looking seaward the scene is grand. An acre of towering f on in marks the abrupt dissolution of tbe lashing sens ns they thunder to ward the shore. This occurs In about three fathoms, or eighteen feet of water, from which the storm driven craft, creaking and straining In every timber, emerges and suddenly finds herself reposing like a child rocked In Its mother's arms, hemmed in by a wall of wrath, where the weary mariner nn be lulled to rest by tbe roar of the winds. Tho place is termed the "oil spot" not from any known analysis of Its nature, but simply from Its condi tions it has no troubled water. Phila- delpbi ME hlfuJ" er. 4 JlR BR01 R BROKEN CHINA. Use a Cement Made With Plaster of Paris and Gum Arabic I had such a pretty Dresden china comb and brush trny for my dressing table which was broken Into three pieces just tbe other day by some one dropping a heavy pair of curling irons on It I was almost heart broken be cause It was part of a set, and I was afraid I could not replace it, and even if I could I did not feel that I could afford to do so. One of my friends told mo she bad been Buccessful in mending several pieces of old chlnn which were treas ured heirlooms with plaster of pads and gum arable. Make a thick solu tion of gum arable and water and into It put tbo plaster until the mixture be comes a puste. This is applied to the edges of the china, which are pressed firmly together. 1 tried it on my tray, and It worked like magic. The solution is white, so that It does not show like glue, and, bust of all. It innkeM such a strong joint thut they tell me that the urtlele never breaks again the name place. Philadel phia Ledger. Puss and the Owl. Owls make very nmusing pets, but lose tho "happy family" knack ns they grow older. A friend of mine bad one that he wrongly kept tied to n stake by a cord. It was of that "tiger of tho north woods'' species, tbe great honied owl, and, while apparently quiet, not to say Blcepy, in the daytime, blinking with those great yellow eyes In the manner that has niado the coun try people believe they are slgbtleaa In bright light, he bad a surprising way of "coming to life" whenever there was any particular reason for doing so. My friend bad n favorite kitten that usually gave the owl a wide berth, but one duy It strayed within the danger xoue. Tho result was that tbe ap parently somnolent mass of brown feathers suddenly galvanized Itself, a powerful claw shot out, n piteous mew was beard and then finis Fells do mestical Outing. Britain and Consorlptlon. Although few people ore aware of the fact, conscription has been purt of tbe British constitution for 700 or 800 years. The mllltlit law states that ev ery Kngllsliuuin between tbe ages of eighteen and thirty is liable to be called upon for military service and that each county must furnish a con tingent In proportion to Its population. At tho time of the Napoleonic wars this law was actually applied, but since then it him fallen Into disuse, without, however, being repealed. Kvery year since 1820 parliament, has solemnly gone through the form of suspending for one year this ancient conscription by ballot Pearson's Weekly. Infallible.
