Haying has started and the .yield is up to the usual stan dard. A man and his family going home late in Portland last week found a burglar ransacting his home; he secured a shotgun and then called the police while he guarded the premises and kept the burglar corraled. W hen arrested the man was found to have con siderable jewelry and 8 watches on him. Possibly it can be said of this burglar that he has lots of time on his hand/. Sherman county has a lively sheriff in J. C. McKean; when he can't get in action himself he pro ceeds to start things. The latest was a horse near the head of Shearer grade, it scared at his auto, ran through barb wire fences three times, by count, and got off with only twenty-five tiny skin cuts. T h e rig was not damaged, the single tree iron being pulled loose and freeing the horse. Colonel Harvey, of Harper's Weekly, who several weeks ago printed editorial predictions that Senator Borah would be the re publican presidential nominee in 1916 is of that opinion still, not withstanding it runs counter to many who believe otherwise. It may be interesting to observe that Col. Harvey was the first editor of rational repute to advocate the election of W oodrow Wilson as president. “ Real Fisherman's Luck for Duke's M ixture Smokers1 Good tobacco and a fo n d r e e l» T h a t ’» sorely a loeky eom binattoo for th e a n g le r— and h e re ’ s th e way yoo «—e b a*e them both.
