The representative of the State Board of Health has been inspecting Bhoi lhauses and premises in Umatilla and Baker counties recently. She is quite uuispnken In lotre of her criti cisms. If she has been in this county, no mention has been made of hor visit. As stated before in these notes there are some districts in this county in which considerable roim for improve ment along the lines of sanitation may be found. Teachers who have received rr rip ostes by renewal should send them in f it registration. The session of the State Teachers' Association held at Salem was one of the best in the history of the organ ization. While the attendance was not as large as it nsual'y is when the meeting is held at Portland there was a gnodlv representation of teachers from all parts of the state. Te ex ecutive committee was fortunate in securing the services of M. V. O'Shee, of the University of Wisconsin, and he gave two strong lectures. He is a man who Investigates and who pro vokes though on the part of his hear ers. It la quite probable that Dr. O'Shea's book "Every Day Problems in Teaohing", will be adopted as the textbook in theory and ptactioe for the teachers' examinations In June. It will pay any teacher to secure a copy and read it anyway The next meet ing of the association will be held at Eugene. The department of education will soon have some literature pertaining to the Industrial contests read? for distribution. It is time to begin planning for the school fairs to be held next fall. It is to be hoped that the teachers, punils and parents will co operate in such a way as to Insure beneficial results. Whisper "Heppner." Miss Hohbs has been in Oopoerfleld, J And all saloons there have been sealed, And barring those heartrending sobs From those molested by Miss Hobbs, Trie town though like a maddened ram Is now as meek as Mary's lamb. Excepting the tearful eye The town mav be considered dry And those who did the selfish boea'en, Have yielded all to Mr. Cawson. And once again It can be said, "The women bruised the serpant's head. If now this daring little Miss Could come and still the serpent s hiss. That threatens Heppner's goodly name And seeks to put us all to shame. 1 'would be a blessing for the town. Which seems awry and upside down. In the name of Heaven, Mr. West. . While ridding others of the pest If you can handle other jobs, Just whisper "Heppner" to Miss Hobbs. A. S. AEERS IRRIGON. J. H.

R. F. WIGLES WORTH & SONS 4t OLD ROMAN HOTELS. Where One Could Get Tiger or Lion 8tew, but No Credit. '-The traveler who is prone to complain of sleepless nights spent in uncomfortable hotels in this country may find some solace in this account of the Roman hotels in the days of the late republic and the empire: Most of the hostelries and tav erns of Rome, says Humbert de Gallicr in "Usages et Moeurs d'Au trefois," were situated along the Appian' way. Some of them were passable. It was at one of the bet ter ones that Cicero used frequent ly to stop and write his letters. The most interesting hostelries, however, were near the circuses and amphitheaters. The shrewd and generally dishonest owners had a double purpose in selecting that situation. It was well chosen for the patronage of the huge crowds that went to the circuses on holi days to see the fights between wild e.nimals and the gladiatorial com bats, and the landlords could buy conveniently and reasonably those animals that had been slaughtered during the day, to be served on their tables. Tiltis a merrymaker might wit ness a battle between a lion and a tiger in the amphitheater in the aft ernoon, and if he went to a nearby hotel might find parts of the same lion or tiger in his stew for dinner. A bear's steak was considered a great delicacy in Rome. The furnishings of the common r.oom, whicli in these hotels served as dining room, parlor and taproom were severely simple. A few wood en tables, a few wooden benches and a sort of elevated throne were the only pieces of furniture. On the raised chair or throne sat the owner of the inn and watched over his guests and probably his belongings. A large number of the hostelries displayed upon the ceilings of their common rooms a painting repre senting a rooster. The painting bore an inscription, the spirit of which will never grow old: When this cock crows, then we will give credit." That is the one link that binds the crude, uncomfortable tavern of ancient Rome to the elaborate ho tel of the present day. 'f wonder how so many forest fires catch?" said Mrs. McBride. "Perhaps they catch accidentally from the mountain ranges." sug gested Mr. McBride. Christian Register. After Inventory Is Taken January Fifteenth Will Have Something Special For You MINOR & CO.
