The miuister and the bride are well known in Sherman county. One of the most attractive things In Thibet Is the method they use in naming their hotels. The Five Felicities, the Social Graces and the Friendly Strangers are among the titles which their hostelries bear. Would it not be a good idea for Americans to adopt some such names for their hotels? The high- sounding and Oriental names, such as are the custom in many places, might be wisely and profitably al tered to others more homely and attractive. What would be the matter with the Soft-Bed hotel, or the Three-Square Meals house, or the Clean-Towel pliee? We im agine many weary, hungry and •oiled travelers would eagerly enter •uoh plaoes, if appearances inspired as much promise as the names And that less patronage would follow the pomp and splendor and gorgeousness reflected from present familiar titles. “ Well, well,” I cried in great delight To see things boom that way, “ Don’t advertising pay, old man? What have you got to say?” k I tho’ t he’d like my work so much, And th in k my plan so nice, That he’d not only praise his wares But pay me double price. And did he do it? Listen, please; I tho't that I ’d drop dead When suddenly he turned on me And vigorously said: “Take out that advertisement, quick! Ool dern yftr pesky skin!"' I ’ll never git a chance to rest Ex long ex It stays In.”—The Editor. Avenarius Carbolineum is a germ destroyer. Decay being a germ, it destroys the cause of decay in posts or timber. The US.Government, the ORNCo., Multnomah oounty, and city of Portland, are making general use of it on bridge timbers, etc. It is the best chicken lice de stroyer on the market, and will sweeten and preserve a water trough, pig pen, stable, etc., and keep away flies. It is a guaranteed article. The Observer Book Store is distrib utor of the pure article in Sherman oounty. If you Talk about your ill-bealth, it will make you l«s« healthy. Worry about your w orkjt will make you less capable. . Imagine that you are disliked, it will make you leas likable. Find fault with others, it will make them faultier. Anticipate evils, you will be sure to bring them upon you. Talk much of what you are going to do, you will never do it. Sit bemoaning the past, you will never get on in the future. - Complain of lack of opportuni ties, you’ll miee what you have. Wail bitterly that it is an unjust world and life not worth living, you’ll find it come true for sure, in your own case at least.

The Dalles business men took the right view of it, and decided not to tax themselves to start a newspaper there hi opposition to TheChronicle, which is now and always was in advance of the needs of the city. If every state will pass a law prohibiting the killing of quail for five years the supply of bad bugs and noxious weeds would greatly decrease. Such laws would be worth much to farmers. Quail should be regarded and treated as domestic fowl instead of wild game. The people of Moro received a rare treat in the entertainment given by the charming little sifters, Mieses Lucy and Sara Adams, h* the Opera House last Friday evening. The singing, reading and,tableaux were of a most refined and unique character and reflect great credit on the little ladies. Every number on the program was rendered with dignity and grace which would be hard to beat. There was a fair sized audience apd all went away delighted, loud in\their praises for the sisters.
