It Was tlallowe°en, '
Last Saturday night was All Hal-
lowe'en and it was nlso the night that
the "Devil" was in town. I~'rom the ''n
appearence of the streets neat shorning sF
~t was evident that hie satanic majesty I
R~
moat have been turned loose after the . fie
show and allowed to put in the remain- ~~
derof the nightgmng stout like n roar an
ing lion seeking what devilment he might a
do. But if the devil himself was in an
command of the night's program it is h~i
~ evident that he was ably aided and
~ be
abetted by as lively a bunch of kids as ~
ever made gome howl or turned an wi
;Oregon town topay-turvy. w~
Chief of Polic= Love hal a lunch n ml
advance that there was going to be all
"happeningre" that night and had ask- ha
ed the city dads for a doyen or so oats ~
pot{cemen, but was turned down on ac- Pa
count of Lhe fear of a panic in t} a event a ~
of the election of either Deba, Ohafin Pry
or Hearst-that is, Hiagen-and eo the £
chief was powerless to prevent econ dri
his nwn obsequies, which sezmed to Dr
have been fittingly observed around a the
new made grave on Pine street. cit
The fact that "It pays to advertixe" fill
wsa forcibly demonstrated during the ins
nighC. Last week the Herald intimated me
that it wood appreciate the delivery .wil
of s threshing machine on Pine street bol
and, just to show that the hearts of eel
the devil and his imps were in the tight °Ul
place, the morning light revealed not gym'
only a full grown and lively looking wh
thresher, but also a eelf-binder, shay- fial
rake, tweive or thirteen wagons, bug- bet
ales, water tanks, etc., etc.,•etc., care-- Pay
fully deposited in the street in front of Prc
this office. All Lhat was lacking Lo put the
this editor in a class by himsel[ as a the
corning wheat king was a traction en- 'w~l
pine, a carload of send wheat and a ne<
couple of sections of good wheat land. °bl
But there must be a limit to what rrlay Psi
lle accomplished in one night. on
It is reported that one citizen, who I Poc
heard ' `de gang" making improper ad- nnl
vances toward his wagon, had hie ire f
so aroused that he got after rho, ag- Coi
gregation with a ahot~an, but'. the tnC
wagon followed the boys off and th° Va
ftnal seating places of that vehicle ere Me
said to have been many times• more ~*O'
numerous than the first. the
Tha boys earned a whole bushel of Pal
fun by the large smonnt o$ hard work H'i
they done and it only happens once a 8OC
