CLEAN UP DAY
Clean up day in lone has been
a sucess so far and the end is not
yet.
The immediate work still goes
on and the influence will snrvive
the effort of the day. Another
year will find a yet readier re
sponee and there is bound to be a
quickening of civic pride that
will conceive of lone as one of
the beauty spots of Eastern Ore
gon.
One splendid feature of the
program this year was the plant
in? of trees on the streets and
grounds. A growing tree is a
thing of beauty and "A thing of
beauty is a joy forever.
Jim Bludso
Of the Frairie Belle.
WALL, no! I can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways he.s got out of the habit
Of livin liice you and me.
Where have yon been for the last threeyear
That you hav'nt heard folks tell
How Jim Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint, ihem engineers
Is pretty much all alike, -One
wife in Natches under the-Hill
And another one here, in Pike;
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row
But he never flunked, and he never lied
1 reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had,
To treat his engine veil;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilot's bell;
And if ever the Prairie Bell took fire,
A thousand times he swore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
- Till the last soul got ashore,
All boats has their day on the Missisip.
And her day eome at last,
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she woldn't be passed..
And so she come tearln' along that night
The oldest craft on she line
' With a nigger squat on her safety-valve,
And her furnace crammed rosin and pine.
The fire bust out as she clared the bar,
And burnt a hole in the night
And quick as a flash she turned, and made
For that wilier bank on the right
There was runnin' and cursin', but Jim
yelled out,
Over all the infernal roar,
"I'll hold her nozzle again the bank
Till the last galoots ashore."
Through the hot, black breath of the burn
.in' best
Jim Bludso's voice wss heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep Lis word.
I And, sure's yo,re born they all got off
Afore the smokestacks fell, -And
Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.

CARELESSNESS
TAM not much of a mathe
J maticlan," says Car;!ssnes,
but I can add to your troub

and be a potent factor in your
failures. Even if I am only with

success. I am a figure to be
recconed with, Cancel me from
your habits and it will add to
your total happiness.
