NOMAD IS RICH FOR
SHORT TIME ONLY
Last week In Arlington a hobo and a
sheephcrder imbibed a little too freely
and arriving at the confidential stage,
went down to the river bank to rumin
ate on the general cussedness of the
world. While there the sheeoherde
again became thirsty and, giving the
hobo his coat, told him to go up town
and get another bottle of whiskey. In
the coat was $165, , all of the sheep
herder's money, andtbe hobo, knowing
this, thought it a good time to make his
getaway. He stole a boat, started
cross the river and landed on an island,
Thinking that it was the Washington
shore, he pushed the boat back into the
river, curled up under a sagebush and
went to Bleep. When he awakened in
the morning and found he was on an is
land his thoughts may be imagined but
his expressions might better be left un
said. At any rate he had plenty of good
cold water. The sheepherder discover
ed the hobo across on the island, got
another boat and went after him.
When they got back to Arlington the
sheepherder bought the hobo a ticket
in one direction on the 0. W. R. & N.
and tone for himself in the opposite
direction.

Other Council News.
The city council held a f pecial
session Tuesday night to listen
to City Engineer Mrris report
on the street paving. All coun
cilmen were present except
Campbell. It was decided that
work on the pavement should be
stopped until next spring, that
the bonds be turned over to
Heinecke Bros, and that the work
done so far be accepted, provid
ing that Heinecke Bros, give the
city a bond in the amount of
13000. that the paving will be
finished according to specifica
tions in the spring cr not later
than August 1st, This will be
an advantage because it. will
give the pavement a thorough
trial during the winter and
should there be any flaws they
will show up and be fixed when
the "work is completed next year.

FOR LOCAL SCHOOL
Can Get Pig From Portland Stock
Yards by Keeping Record.
Every city and country .school
in Oregon and Washington that
wants a pig can have one with
the compliments of the Portland
Union Stock Yards. The only
condition attaching to the gift
pigs will be a requirement that
each school accepting one keep
an accurate record of the kind,
quantity and cost of the food that
is given it. This will be for the
purpose of determining the cost
of feeding and preparing a pig
for market. It is expected that
the pigs will be sold when they
reach a marketable size. The
stock yards will buy them back
at the market price and the
schools can use the money as
they choose; Stockyards officials
expect the'boys and girls of the
various schools to compete for
the distinction of making the
most money out of their pork
stock.
