Beymer, who states that Spencer landed 12 and Higley 8. Afer such a hard, day's work, Mr. Beymer felt that it was not fair to these gentlemen to have them overlooked in this manner. A. M.

Woods, District Ranger, re cently made a trip to Ellis Ranger Station and the snow stakes. About the same amount of snow was found on the high ground as at this time last winter. The severe wind storm in Novem ber wrought havoc with the Forest Service telephone lines. The roads and trails are badly obstructed by wind-thrown timber. The work re quired in the spring to put the tele phone lines in serviceable condition and to make the roads and trails passable will be fully twice as much as usual. A large amount of nice green yel low pine trees were blown down by the November storm. These trees will be disposed of under Free Use permit for fuel or improvements up on application to the District Ranger. The blank applications for permits to graze live stock on the Umatilla National Forest have been sent out. Persons desiring to apply for permits and not receiving a blank should apply to the Forest Supervisor at Pendleton. Applications should be filed at Pendleton not later than February 10. IONE CLOSES SUCCESS FUL JACKRABBIT HUNT The lone rabbit hunt closed Sat urday night, the members of the two teams turning in the tails of 3,559 iackrabbits. While there were 86 members on each team it will be re- numbered that many of these did not live in sections where the tab- bits were plentiful and spent their time in killing the rabbits closer to home. Dwight Misner's team won by a margin of 516 rabbits. Mr. Mis ner was high man with 425 rabbits to his credit, while Mrs. Misner was his valuable aid in turning in 165 which she had killed with her twea tv-two. Taking it all in all it was a most successful event. Bewteen three and four hundred people took in the free show besides the feed, and participated in the dance which was paid for by the losing side.

An Example. We note that a Chicsgo man mur dered his wife because she was too extravagant. We hold this is going altogether too far. Not for a minute would we indorse or countenance or approve such drastic methods, but we see no objection in every married man read ing the item aloud to his wire as a warning. Detroit Free Press. "When the Devil Was Sick" Two old gobs had been at odds ever since the day of their enlist ment. They were due for discharge within a few days when one of them was taken seriously ill and the doc tors broke the news to him that he had small chance to live. He sum moned his old-time enemy to his bedside. "Mac," he said plaintively, "they tells me I'm goin' to kick over. If I do, will ye fergit all our fights and sort of let bygones be bygones?" "That'll be a'right," said Mac, in great embarassment. "And, Mac" here the old gob's voice grew stronger if I ever get well and ye remind me I ever said that, 1 11 knock that fat wooden block off yer shoulders." Oases. Whatever else may happen since our country has gone dry The sailor still will have his port and the farmer have his rye; The cotton man will have his gin, and the sea coast have its bar, And each of us will have a bier no matter where we are. ,f' ) - mmJ '.' il 14 Mi l - l A & j- (( SMILE AWHILE NOTICE TO CREDITORS.

The famous Philadelphia and New York merchant, John Wanamaker, has said a great many times and in a number of ways, "When business is poor, that ia the time to increase advertising, and to this policy we owe a large meas ure of our success." What applies to the merchandising business in the large centers applies with equal force to business in the smaller communities. Business in Heppier is not the best, but it is improv ing. It can be made a great deal better if business would as sume a more optimistic attitude, and push itself forward vigorously and confidently. Advertising will go a long way toward curing the ills that business is suffering from, and a liberal application will make a wonderful difference. TRY IT!

The Gazette-Times Not In Ritual, But General Pershing tells the story of volunteer battalion of rough bacK woodsmen that once joined General Grant. He admired their fine phy- siaue. but mistrusted the capacity of their uncouth commander to mn- die troops promptly and efficiently in the field, so he said: "Colonel, I want to see your men fit work: call them to attention and order them to march with shouldered arms in close column to the lert dank." Without a moment s hesitation the colonel yelled to his fellow ruffians: Boys, look wild thar! JViaKe reaay to thicken and go lert siaewaysi Tote yer guns. Git" The maneuver proved a brilliant success and the self-elected colonel was forthwith officially commission ed. Boys' Own Paper. Lost Articles Department. Mollie, who had administered the culinary affairs of the household for many years, was sometimes torn be tween her devotion to her mistress and her loyalty to the small son of the house. "Mollie," said her mistress one day after a tour of inspection, "what ever happened to those fine red ap ples I bought yesterday?" "Well, now, ma'am," answered Mollie, "I couldn't rightly say, but if ye can find where me loaf of ginger bread is, them apple9 woud be lyin' right on top of it." H Take home a bucket of our lard.
