Towns Are Quiet.
TV:o towns of the John Day valley
nd in fact all over the county are
guiet at this season. There is prob
ably the usual amount of trading
going on but with very little stir,
The conditions are entirely different
than a few years back which will
explain the apparent inactivity of the
towns. Many of the ranchers now
use autos instead of teams and they
slip into town and do their trading
without attracting any notice. They
come much oftener but do not make
any prolonged stay. The closing
of the saloons has also had its effect
Many of the boys who came to towu
would put in several days at each
trip while now they transact their
business and return home. The
conditions have made the towns seem
much more quiet. The merchants
however are not complaining as the
usual business is transacted. Blue

Western Motor Oil.
H. O. Harrison Co. distributors of
the Dodge Bros, car, San Francisco,
think so higly of motor oil made
from western asphalt-base crude that
they use nothing else in their demon
strating cars, and all the cars they
sell go out filled with this oil.
"We have had a good opportunity
of observing its action in the Dodge
motor," says H. P. Huddleston, Mana
ger of the Service Dept., "both in the
hands of our own men and our cus
tomers and are entirely satisfied with
the results , Our motors are free
from carbon, compression is at its
highest point of efficiency, and we
are never troubled with over-heating
and laboring of the motor on long
hard pulls."

An Intelligent Colt.
William Gary, a farmer, who lives
in the town of Washington, Wis.,
came to Green Bay recently to do
some trading. His Intention waa to
remain over-night at the home of his
daughter. He drove a four-year-old
colt, and this trip was the first time
the young horse had been away from
home. The trading done, Mr. Gary
wen to his daughter's home, put the
horse in the barn and closed the door.
The door was one of the sliding
kind that hook on the inside. The
farmer retired. The next morning
he went -out to feed the horse, and,
lo, the colt was gone. No signs were
evident of anyone having entered.
The farmer finished the trip on foot
on his return journey home.
Upon his arrival at the farm the
colt was discovered in his old, famil
iar stall eating hay. Mr. Gary claims
the animal had unhooked the latch j
of the sliding door In town and had
left for his own home. Milwaukee

"No," said Babcock, "he didn't say
anything of the sort."
"But you just said he did," said
Mrs. Babcock.
"No," said the man, "I didn't."
"Why, Charles!" exclaimed the
wife. "What did he say, then?"
"I said," replied the brute, "that
he said he knew you when he was a
