There was nothing new about his modus opera aitdus the main idea being to abolish' povorty, without sweating, excollont bait for any trap. Mr. Macina should have been a politician. A few tears in his line of bunk would havo olectod him to anything. 1 1 REDUCTION !.

' The .estimated, expenses i'f statu administration wore re duced by over a million dollars. :And a perfect aviiluucbo of half digested legislation was put on the scrap heap. There are no outbursts of enthusiasm over tho achievements of the legislature. But 'to those familiar with the uetual condition at Palem, there is general relief that the assoinbly adjourned with so little undesirable legislation to its 'discredit.

Ilowlett Benj. Whetstone, one of our well to do fanners and stockmen who lives on a farm on Antelope creek, was a busi ness co,Ucr lust Thursday and so was Roy Conley of Bute Fulls who owns tho aid Hawk sawmill, and I asked if he was cutting much lumber now and ile said no, that he was feeding his cattle, that he had plenty of liny and that he was just poking it into them and they looked fine. Sam H, Harnish who has the con tract to take the high school children to Med ford and back, was on the sick list last week so had his son Robert drive in his place, but is now back on his old job again. Carlylo Natwick of Mcdford, was here for dinner Saturday and reports mat he Is building a houso on tho tract of land that fell to his wife in the division of what is known as the Nichols farm, some six miles north of hero on Rogue river. After it was di vidod between his wife nee Ruth Nich ols, and her brother Thomas F. Nich ols, they mutually agreed on the division, had a surveyor run out the lines, without the aid of a lawyer, und everything was settled as it should havo, 'been between a brother und sis ter. L. G. Palmer ot Butte Fulls was out Saturday and reported the deatli of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Spencer's infant son tiged 13 months, who died Friday. Last Friday, Feb. 10th, being the 49th birthday ot our' popular roail supervisor, just about the time when ho was about to retire, having taken off his shoes nnd everything ns quiet as a dentil chamber, all at once he and his wife wore startled by one ot those unearthly yells" that few could give except Gus Nichols, broke the stillness ot the hour, when in rushed about -0 ot his noighbors to join with him and his fumily in celebrating his birthday. So after the excitement was over they nil settled down to spending the even ing in visiting and socinl games until bedtimo whon lunch was served and the visitors retired wishing William many happy returns of Feb. 16th.- Wm. Butler, one of our well to do farmers and Mr. Van Allen who is living with Mr. Butler, wero in town on business with our postmaster and manager ot our tclophono business, W. C. Clomonts. Saturday nftcrnoon just ns I was starting down to tho postofrice to get my mall, Wm. G. Pierce, the machin ist for Hubbard Bros., Medford, drove up on u business errand, and when through drove off nnd I started right off for the postoffice again and my daughter called mo back saying that soino one wanted to know if I was authorized to perform tho marriage ooremony and she replied yes. It. ap peared that ho stopped ut tho Mcl'her son Btore nnd asked him if there was minister in town, being told that CONFIDENTIAL.

FEBRUARY the Page Theater inmw REGINALD DENNf i Mr. Howlott was a minister he thus , called on the phone. Ho then wanted to know if I, could marry a couple about elghtw'elock that evening- being told that I could, not giving any names ho again called up and -wanted to know If I could go out In the country about half a mile. Again I answered in tho affirmative, us he proposed to come after me and bring me home so that being settled I again started for the postoffice and got thirty rods on my way when who should drive up and stop, and f supposing that he hud forgotten something I inquired the cause of his returning. He said that' he had come after me and I looked at him inquiringly and asked it he was the man who wanted to be married and he said he was, and wanted mc to get right in the car, but I protested that I wanted to change my clothes, Finally I thought of my fountain pen and said I would have to get that to fill out the certificate so we started back to the house and I changed my j clothes and got ready and we started, and after we started I asked the name of tho lady he was going to marry and he said the name was Mrs. Hannaford, and after we had rode a mile or two I remarked that his half mile was rather long then asked where the lady lived and he said on his place a part of the Everett Daliack place (it was four miles but he wus too excited to thiuk). Well, we went on through the sticky mud and finally came to a pluce 1 near (the foot ot a hill where the ground seemed to bo softer and soon wo stuck fast. Ho tried to back up but tile more lie tried the deeper wo went -into tllo sticky, so Mr. Pierce took the load off and tried again but every move made It nioro difficult to get out, so he finally nsked if I had on rubbers. I told him I had. Well, said he, I guess we will hove to walk nnd i nsked how fnr If Was over to the house nnd he replied: O, two or three hundred yards. I still had in mind the length of his "half mile" nnd fig ured accordingly, and so we started. Of course I could not walk very fast, especially through sticky, nnd after we hud walked about three-quar.e s of a mile and by this time it beg.u to get quite dark for a man past ninety nnd almost blind. We finally reached the house and on entering met Mrs. hdizubeth Hannaford, her siBter-in-law MI-s. Hannaford, Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Stille, and ten children, Mrs. E. llunnaford's five, ono of the other hannaford family, and four little Htillo's, und in tho courso of a short timo Mr. Plerco was ready and brought in tho prospective bride and in less time than it takes me to write it the happy couple wero joined in wedlock. And then he and Mr. Stille started to extricate tho car from the mudholo. Hut then I camo up againBt another difficulty. I had been used to electric lights, but we wore off the line and consequently had to depend on a coal oil lamp for light, nnd I was unable to sco to write or read, but 1 secured the '" 24. 1923 assistance of one of the ladles and dictated to her and finally managed to make them out. Then simper wa called and after partaking of a hearty meal Mr. Pierce unnounced that tho car was at the door ready to take me home. So we, that is Mr. Win. O. Pierce, his bride and mysoir started and in a short time I was landed ut the Sunnyside safe and sound. So bidding the happy couple good-night they went on their way rejoicing. Among tho Sunday visitors wore Dr. M. C. Burker and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn W. Smith, all of Medfoid.
