HUBER HAPPENINGS
C. F. Neipert was in Beaver
ton yesterday for a short time.
He states that the Huber Boy
Scouts succeeded in disposing of
the big turkey gobbler which
Dan Shaw gave to the Huber
Bed Cross for an even $31 andt
that 124 people participated in
the fund which paid for the tur
key. Miss Bertha Barron was
the fortunate one and carried
the turkey home for her New
Years dinner.
The dance which was held the
same evening in which the tur
key was marketed, was very well
attended. Among the out of
town guests was Miss Sybil Bak
er, former queen of the Portland
Rose Festival, who is just as
popular here as she is in Port
land. CoveU's orchestra was in
exceptionally great shape and is
as popular as ever with the dan-
cers- ' . flH
Travelers in Australia have
marvelled at thewonderful leaps
of the famed kangaroo. We have
read with laughter about the bull
frog hopping along down in Ark
ansas, and even the man in the
moon, fable tells us, "goes skip
ping over the turf, 30 feet at a
skip" but say! have you heard
about the "Beaverton jump?"
Here is the picture. A little Ford
was standing still down on the
Canyon Road at Rock Crusher
hill, with four passengers. The
, driver and passengers jump in
the air, the weight is off the
wheels, quick as a flash all the
gas is turned on, the tires buzz
around, and Charles Billstine
at the wheel brings them "up on
high."

All out of town lines are paid
tfor except on South Lombard
Street, We owe T. J. Allen a bal
ance of $48.65 on this line for
money advanced at the time of
installation. This line was paid
for by Allen at the time, the
town agreeing to repay him as
fast as we collected it from these
out of town users, except the M,
Welter (now Warren) place.
; Last April 18 we paid Mr.
Allen $24.75, and since that time
we have collected from these us
ers $103.00. Mr. Allen will be
paid his balance, no doubt, at the
next meeting of the council.
The interest on water bonds is
$84.00 per month, so to be even
self-sustainig, we will have to
take in on an average of over
$209 per month, for there is
some expense for repairs.
The town gave $400 toward
repairing South Watson Street,
beginning at the M. S. Barnes
place.
There has been $84.40 recent
ly spent on streets running east

AGRICULTURAL ANT OF TEXAS
Creature An Rogulai- Pimar wM
Thalr Hemaa An Marvel f
. Skill and fttrtnath..
' Texas bat many varletlM of the ant
family. Out on the "Llano Batacado,".
or Staked Plain, they are so numerous
that their hills look like the billows
of a rolling sea.
One of the most powerful and for
midable Insects In the Southwest Is the
agricultural ant of Texas, observes a
naturalist. These busy creatures are
regular farmers, and t'.ielr homes are
marvels of architectural, skill and
strength.
Think of a house from 12 to 15 feet
high, built by a little ant, and which
Is so strong and well supported that
cattle and buffaloes can walk over II
and yet not crush In this wonderful
dome. ,
It Is said that If a horse, In pro
portion to his size, could leap aa far
as a flea, that In one Jump ne wouia
go clear around the world. Now, If
a man constructed a house according
to the same proportions of an ant's
domicile, It would be more than a mile
high.
These agricultural ants, next to t
bee. are the most Industrious crea
tures on earth. They sow, reap and
garner just like farmers, and during
the warm season lay by sufficient store
for winter's use.
WORK OF MOTHER NATURE
Formation of Cubes and Patterns, Par-
etly Symmetrical, Character.
Istlc of Gem-Stones.
The original geometrician was Moth
er Nature. Observe her work In the
making of crystals. Each kind of gem
stone crystallizes on a certain pattern
of its own, perfectly symmetrical; it
Is the same way with metals when
they form crystals, says a writer.
If a cupful of salt and water be al
lowed to evaporate slowly in a cool
place, the salt will take the form of
ever so many cubes, each one of them
perfect.
One mineral In crystallizing will In
variably take the shape of an octa
hedron, another of a dodecahedron.
Yet another will assume the form of
a multitude of cubes, perhaps half an
inch on an edge, with a chip accurate
ly cut off of each corner. It seems
like a Joke.
Gold and silver crystallize as cubes.
A crystal of iron sulphide resembles
In shape a wild rose. Water has its
own crystalline forms, like any other
mineral. Ice, of course, Is a kind of
rock as much a rock as granite but
Is remarkable for Its low melting
point. This Is lucky for us, because
this rock, In a molten condition, fur
nishes us with drink,
Homage Paid Joan of Are.
Old and new were reunited when
Orleans and New Orleans met In the
fifteenth century hotel de vllle of the
city on the Loire nt the heart of France
recently, says a Paris correspondent.
The bicentenary of the new world city
was the occasion of the United States
delegates' visit. Homage was paid to
Joan of Arc, the champion of the me
dieval struggle for freedom. She was
the subject of French and American
speeches, and flowers and a bronze
palm leaf were laid at the foot of
her statue. A pilgrimage, too, was
made to the fort of Tourelles, so fa
mous In the defense of the city by the
maid. The events of those far-gone
centuries served as a distant romantic
background to the present struggle, in
which the most recent figures, to ap
oear on a crowded canvas are those
of the United States soldiers on the
Flanders front. Side by side with the
mention of medieval names and events
were heard, in the old halls of Orleans,
those of President Wilson and the
battle of the Mnrne.
Just as Easy.
Two commercial travelers, while 00
a traitf on the Oregon Electric railway,
not into an argument over the action
of the automatic brake.
'It's the inflation of tne tube tnax
stops the train," declared the first trw
eler.
'Wrong, wrong !" shouted tne second.
"It's the output of the exhaustion."
So they wrangled for an hour. XI
when the train arrived at the stath
they agreed to submit the matter
settlement to the motorman. mai gn
tleman, leaning condescendingly from
the door of his car, listened with aa
attentive frown to the two traveler!
statement of their argument. Then ha
smiled, shook his head, and said :
"Well, gents, ye re Dotn wrong aDon

It's very simple and easy to under

then we fill the pipe with vacuum."

Coal Production In France.
Recent figures of coal production la
France, an Industry of which the de
partment of the Loire, In the St
Etlenne consular district, is an im
portant producing center, with an an
nual output of over 3,000,000 tons,
show an Increase from 1,800,000 tons
In November, 1916, to 2,367,000 tons In
March, 1017, says the Scientific Amert
can, and a total Increase in production
and importation of from 3,400,000 tons
in January, 1917, to over 4,000.000
tons In May. This gain was made pos
sible by a readjustment of mine work
ers and a closer study of transporta

commodities by a fleet of heavy motor
