NEARING COMPLETION
City Water Works Plant
Among the Best.
Much Credit Due the Engineers and
Contractors Will be in Use in
About 30 Days.

In discussing the new water system yes
teriday a knot of business men who were
gathered in out of the wet, had many
opinions and much to say of tine various
branches OF the work, but all we're agreed
that the greatest credit was due to en-
glneer Adams for the mastery way in
wlhich In the face of many obstacles, he
mad secured the erection OF a perfect plant,
for the work rs 80 nearly completed that
the end ls CLEARLY in sight. Also deserv-
ing of great credit is that set of bonds
men who jumped in ait the time Of a
crisis without awaiting the action OF law
and finished the work Others should have
DONE and Mr. John Burke, the bonds
man elected by his colleagues to person
ally superlntend affairs, has done well by
both the city and his lI0w-bondsmen.
The pipe line under Sub-Contractor
Normiie Is making great strides during
this fine weather, and In les6 than 20
days, bvlUh anything like fair weather,
will be completed. A large force OF men
Is at work, which is being added to
daily, as Mr.. Normile is determined to
do all THAT human man can to get every
advantage of the fine weather.
Tonight Contractor Lucas will have fin
tshed the power house, which, with ite

setting to THE reservoir just beside II.
In the well of the power house Is all OF
the machinery for handling tine big gattes
which lower down control the flow OF
water to the city. A Pelton water wheel
furnishes the motive power which oper-
abes the gates. as well as runs a huge
pump. which can be used In case of fire
to quadrup.e the pressure of the water
mains of the city. Another Pelton
wheel in the power house can be used. II
desired, by the city to operate it's own
electric light plant at no cost to the tax
payers for motive power
The big tunnel under the hill Is now
within sixty feet OF being completed. and
will be finished in less than thirty days,
so that IN about another month the city
can use its new system, as the dls.ribu-
tton system Is also near,y completed.
The coping Of the reservoir Is a'ncst
all on the ground. and Manager Burke
will go to Portland tonight or tomorrow
and send down THE balance. on top OF
he coping will be erected five foot
iron fence, which mas just been ordered
from Cincinnati.
When finished Astoria will possess the

ARMENIAN SITUATION.
Figntful Condition OF Turkish Prisons
Revealed by Released Prisoners.

Constantinop,e, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
Nov. 20-The six representatives OF the
powers held a conference yesterday to
discuss certain supplementary measures
which will be recommended to the Porte
for the restoration Of order in Asia Min.
or. and 1t Is understood that some form
OF common action for the protection of
foreigners Is pending.
The police are not making so many ar
rests today and a number of Arnenians
have been released from the different
prisons wdhre they have been confined
for some time past. The reason given for
their unexpected release Is that the po-
lice have not been able to mud evidence
against them which would justify their
further incarceration. The prisoners
made the most startling statements as to
their treatment while In custody and tell
horrible tales Of the filthy and oveccrowd-
ed conditions OF the Turicis01 prisons.
They say they were given barely enough
food to keep body and soul together, and
that they were beaten and otherwise tor
tured in order to compel hem TO betray
what they knew of the organization of the
Armenian revolutionary committee. But,
they add. all efforts to make them traitors
were in vain.

INCREASE OF FREIGHT.
Good Thermometer Of the General Busi-
ness Situation.

An Historian representative yesterday
Interviewed a number OF business men
and visited the freight docks to gain
some information in regard to the status
of general business. The results were
quite p4:lorlsing and most satisfactory.
At this esason there is usually large
falling off in the receipts Of freight as
well as In shipments out, but this year
there fs not only about twice the amount
Of freight being received every day that
there was at this season last year, but
there Is really an increase over the sum-
mer receipts. The docks are piled with
goods awaiting delivery, and newcomers
with their household effects are frequent
arrivals.
Messrs. Ross, Higgins & Co. are doing
larger business than at this season last
year, and Foard & Stokes and several
other merchants report an increase In
trade. Mr.. Schiebe. the cigar manufac-
turer, says that his business has largely
increased over what 1t was this time last
year.
That practical results Of the building OF
the railroad have commenced to be felt
goes without saying and that business
men win be agreeably surprised during
the winter by fair business in place OF
the usual du,lness will be a fact welcomed
by all.

THE FARMERS CLUB.
A Recent Institution Meeting
With Great Success in Fea-
gaville-Meetings Held on
Every Thursday Night.

The Farmers Club" of Feagavllle,
this county, held an interesting and
we'll attended meeting at the usual
place on last Thursday night, the Dist
inst. Owing to the very incIement
weather and the terrible condition of
the roads, the members could not get
together the previous week, although
meeting was called. Ii is the intan-
ton of the members to hold regular
weekly meetings and discuss the vital
questions at stake, concerning matters
which interest not only farmers. but
all others who are dependent upon
them for business supplies and food
produce. Agriculture Is an important
industry and should he made to pro-
duce a comfortable income to all who
are engaged III 1t. The members of
the Farmers Ctubn are well known
IN the community and show the
proper spirit III eflectIug an organiza-
ton for mutual education and adj
vancement, ana we feel sure the result
of their weekly exchange of ideas and
tine reading o. papers upon agricultural
and other companlonable topics will
be both beneficial and financially re-
muneratlve. Farmers should make a
careful study of every clause in their
occupation aud experiment with dem
Onstrated and unlrled propositions.
whereby saving in time, labor and
money may be effected. 1t isan old
saying that 1.-TWO heads are better than
one" but every day its truthfulness
becomes more apparent. When things
begin to assume the dignity of reyu-
lar routine and the members of the
Farmers Club" wish Increase the use
fulness of their organization, ii would
be good idea to hold, say every month,
public meeting, and let each one pre-
pare paper upon some important sub
lect coming under their personal ouser-
walton. Friendly debates would also
add Interest aud be productive of end
less good to all who participate. In
thus manner theory becomes subservi-
cut To actual practice aud all are hand
| ed over Tor the common welfare. The
! CITIZEN Will take pleasure in record
| ing each weeks proceedings. Two IN
/ teresung addresses We're made at the
meeting on the 2lst inst, 10y Messrs.
