Proper Oil Will
Overcome Cold
Weather's Effect
"Using a Zoro cold tost oil mado
from soloctod California crudo oil as
sures correct lubrication of tho auto
mobllo In cold weather right from the
first turn of the motor," stated C. B.
Johnson, local merchant.
"That's why thoro Is such a demand
In this cold weather for Zoroleno
medium and Zoroleno light. These
Zero cold test oils do not tblckon ex
cessively In any temporaturo above
zoro and because thoy keep their flu
idity, or froo flowing body, they keop
tho automobile onglno floxlblo In
cold weathor.
"Somo motorists do not roallzo
that tho oil In tholr onglnos may con
geal at low tomperaturo at least
thoy do not roallzo It until sorlous
;damago to tho poorly lubricated ong
lno brings It forcibly to their atten
tion. An onglno started 'with con
gealed oil runs for somotlmo with
out sufficient lubrication until tho
thlckonod oil can be heated and Its
fluidity restored. After this pro
cess has boon repeated tlmo aftor
time during the cold weather months
It Is not necessary to tell the dam
ago that may be done by that tlmo
tho motorist knowB what oxcesslvt
friction can do.
"Zoroleno is a high' quality lubri
cating oil having a Zoro cold test.
It will flow freely at all tomlperaturos
abovo zero and proven,t excessive fric
tion In cold woather by giving the
necessary correct lubrication to the
englno at all times,"

TO HELP BOYS
(By Associated Proas)
HALBM, Jan. 17. Tho legislature
reconvonod today aftor recess. Sov-
oral bills aro beforo both housos for
tho third roadlng. The special mes-
sago from Oovornor Olcott was de
livered to a Joint session of both
houses at 2:30 this attornoon.
Tho govornor prefaced the deliv
ery of his message by saying ho re
gretted surmises as to Its naturo had
created tho Impression that It was
something spooctacular.
"Just roverso tho caso," he said,
"The subjoct Is simple boys."
Ho dwolt on tho Importanco of
boys and tho Importanco of reform
ing bad ones, and proceeded with bis
messago, which rocommended tho
building of a new training school for
boys to bo built from funds derived
from turning back Into tho general
fund proceeds of tho annual tax levy
of ono fourth of a mill, known as
tho road lovy. Ho reminded tho legis
lators that his regular mossago call
ed attontlon to tho Inadoquancy of
tho training school, but said It had
not boon lncludod In his plan be
cause ho was not sure when be wroto
tho messago that It was practicable.
Further study, ho said, convlncod
him It was feasible Ho said , road
funds woro now obtained by bond
Issues which woro cared for by auto
mobile licenses and gasoline tax. Thb
rogular tax would yield $520,000
noxt blonnlum, and tho state would
not miss tho roads which this would
build.
Tho governor contlnuod "I recom
mend tho ropoal of tho four per cent
road levy. Dy such repeal a fund or
ovor halt a million dollars would be
mado available to this legislature un
der tho six per cent limitation amend
ment to bo usod for Institutional pur
poses. Any of tho amount not need
ed could bo loft untouched to lesson
tho tax burdon of tho people."

and Langoll Valley citizens to town
today to thresh tho matter out bo
fore tho county court. A numbor of
interested persons were on hand
when tho court convened this after
noon. Ab nearly as preliminary discus
sion would indicate there is a move
ment on foot to route the road so
that It will miss Bonanza, passing
farther south and a numbor of resi
dents of the town and vicinity are
hero to protost and urge that tho
original route, which thoy say, pass
ed through Bonanza, bo followed.

hindering
POItTLAND, Jan. 17. No change
will bo mado In tho nccond congress
ional district If tho legislature de
cides to crcato a fourth district. This
announcomont was mado by R. W.
Itltnor, prosldont of tho Btato senate,
on his arrival In Portland from Salem
last week.
"I would not take a slnglo pre
cinct off of tho district of Nlck'SIn
nott without his consont," declared
Senator Upton, who has boon men
tioned as Intending making radical
changes In tho second district.
No such guarantees, howover, woro
glvon with rospect to tho first con
gressional district, represented by
W. C. Hawley. Most of tho plans for
redisricting tho congressional sec
tions aro based on taking some of
tho counties nway from tho second
district.
"Thoro Is no roason why tho sec
ond district, represented by N. J.
Slnnott, should bo tampered with,"
explained Senator Itltnor, who lives
In Umatilla county. "Eastern Oregon
peoplo do not want tho district alter
ed and thoy aro qulto satisfied with
Nick Slnnott. I wish to announco that
so far as I am concerned, tho district
will remain as It Is, and I will op
poso any proposal to change It."
Inasmuch as Sonator Itltnor has
boon mentioned as a prospoctlvo can
didate for congress In tho second dis
trict whenover Mr. Slnnott tires tif
tho office, his statement will set at
rest any fears sunDartors of Mr. Sln
nott may bo entertaining that' the leg
islature 'threatens to gerrymander
tho respresentatlves district.
Sonator Upton of Prlnovllle, also
raontloncd as a possible congressional
aspirant some day, has written to Mr.
Slnnott explaining his attltudo to
ward any talk of trifling with tho
second district.
If tho Upton resolution for a Joint
committee to handlo all bills doallng
with reapportionment of tho legisla
ture and congressional districts Is
adopted, both Prosldont Ritner and
Senator Upton will be members of it.
As two of tho ten mombors tbey can
seo to It that the second district is
left alone. The- group of congres
sional aspirants In the southern part
of tho stato aro concerned with
making a district out of tho first
district and aro not Interested in
eastern Oregon, so thoy will not
bother Mr. Slnnott's bailiwick.
Through the courtesy of Con
gressman N. J. Slnnott tho Her
ald has received a quantity of free
government seeds for distribu
tion. Included in each package
ard beans, boet, lottuce, radish
and onlpn seeds. Any one desir
ing a package may have them by
calling at this office.

HUNTER KILLS
BIG LIOII III
TOPSY DISTRICT
W. L. Fraln of tho Topsy district
killed a largo panther last Tuesday
in tho Pokegama soction, after thrco
days'1 hunt, according to word reach
ing here. Tho animal measured
eight foot from tip to tip.
Starting Sunday morning with his
two Alrodalo dogs, Mr. Fraln tral'ed
tho panther all day without catchlr.g
sight of him, Monday brought :io
greater success, but on Tuesday nt
ternoon tho hunter caught a cllmpj--,
of tbo beast ho had boen tracking in
an open space beneath a high bluff
Ho climbed down tho rim with his
dogs, and they at onco secured the
scent and were aftor the panther
full cry. Thoy chased tho boast
across a creek and up a mountain
side, running a mile beforo tho pan
ther climbed a treo. Tbo huntor fol
lowed as rapidly as poBslblo, and
with -a woll-almed shot brought the
quarry to tho ground.
On tho first day of tho hunt Mr.
Fraln was accompanied by his son-in-law,
Morwln Donelson. On tho
second day ho was alono, and on tbo
final day Loren CJoso was with him.
In following tho panther tho hunt-
era found whero ho had killed a
porcupine and two deer, tho first a
yearling, of which ho ate all except
a part of the front leg. Tho second
door was a big four-point buck. Tho
carcass had been dragged for 50
yards into tho undorbrush, but llttlo
of It was eaten, Tho .trampled and
torn ground and shrubbery around
thjf- spot whero (ho tight between tho
Dig cat anu me rour-poinier iook
lace showed that the buck bad put
up a gallant fight for his life.
The billing of two deer in tnreo
days Brows the destructlveness of
tho panther, and proves tho service
done for sportsmen when ono of the
big cats is killed. ,
Mr. Fraln has two of the best
hunting dogs in the state. In tho
last few years he has killed many
bear. A couple of years ago, ho
killed four bear in ono day.

Irons at Large
Still Destroyed
Thirty gallons of moonshlno In

tcstod and dumped to waste their
potency upon 'the desert sands when
Port Summers of tho Indian police

getically stirring tho potion on a
Btovo, tbo officers Immediately hand
cuffod him, and waited for tho sec
ond man to appear. Ho appeared
almost immediately from another
room, and was arrested. Ho stated
that he had nothing to do with tho
distillery.
.With tnoir two prisoners, tho
officers set out for this city, and in
order to gain tlmo crossed a couple
of intervening small lakes. Tho ico
on tho last lake crossed appeared to
be somewhat unsafe, and tho men
unanimously decided that thoy
would bo wise to "make haste slow
ly." Cleveland, tho smallest man
In tbo party, suggested that he bo
permitted to try tbo Ice first, and
it it held hts weight, he would mo
tion with his manacled hands for tho
rest of the party to proceod, Ac
cording to the story as it was told
today, Cleveland tested the ico for
quite a distance, Hutto finally re
marking that he didn't believe tho
man intended to come back. When
out of gunshot rango Cleveland
mado a break for liberty, and has
not boen apprehended yet. He is
said to be known by tho name of
Sumpter,
Allen is now in Jail here, but may
bo given a hearing In California, H.
M. Manning will handle Allen's case.
He Is a farmer, and lives not far
from this city. His reputation, it is
'sald, Is very good.

Highest January
Flow of Years tn
Link River Now
With 3240 socond feet of water
flowing down Link River today, a
high-water mark for January is es
tablished, according to tho engineer
ing department records of the California-Oregon
Power cqmpany. Their
chart shows no higher January mark
over all the years that it has been
kept.
Later months, March and April,
ot previous years, of course, show
higher records, but the volume ot
wator running down tho channel at
present Is an unusual January con
dition. The run-off is due to the
abnormal rainfall and tho melting
of snow on the watershed.
