TWO WITH SINGLE THOUGHT
Boys With Garden Hose-How one
That Didn't Squirt Died.

Imagine two small boys with
garden hose, sprinkling lawns, at
adjoining places with only back
yard fence between them. And
them just to give the imagination
strenuous exercise, try to conceive
that both will not be wet as drown
ed rats before they get through.
Try to think that Bill won't, just
for fun, squirt few drops On Ike,
and after that, endeavor to believe
that Ike won't squirt back at Bill.
Then, just for the sake of imagin-
ing, try to think that things won't
go from bad to worse, and that
within mighty few minutes Bill
and Ike won't be squirting point
blank at>each other at the closest
possible range Persuade yourself
to believe if you can that any cat,
dog,/ COW, Chinaman, white man.
boy Or moving thing that comes
that way won't get flooded with
water from the hose in the hands
of Ike and Bill. Finally try to
think that, by and by, two mothers
mad as hornets, won't rush out on
Ike and Bill, and that for, a brief
space thereafter, the two dripping
lads won't hear things rattle and
smell smoke and birthstone.
1t all will be hard to imagine,
for it never happened but once and
probably never will again. For a
boy to have hose is to want to
squirt water, and if there is some
other boy and another hose the
temptation is irresistible. There
is only one known record in which
healthy boy did resist, and he
soon afterward died, sucking his
thumb. The only excuse for this
item is that it was written when
the thermometer was up to 1o2,
and it seemed good tothink about
wet boys and squirting water.

HOTTEST IN YEARS
A Day That Smashed all Known
Records-Passed the Hundred
Mark,

There has been about as much
stray heat abroad i'll Corvallis the
past week as the average citizens
care to experience. The tempera-
ture went up to 1o2 Wednesday af-
ternoon. That is the highest tenn
perature on record in this locality
since the weather Office was es-
tablished which was in 1889. The
next highest was On the I4th day
of August last year. when the mer-
curry went up to 1oI, Up to that
unhappy day, the mercury had
never before touched a point with
in several degrees of the record
made. The hottest day in Aug
ust in 1899 was SO; in 1900, 81.
But last Wednesday eclipsed them
all. It left the marks of wilt on
lawn mowers, shade trees, gardens
flowers and fat men. They say it
and the other hot days before and
after, have b1emished the growing

GOING TO ORGANIZE
Court Calls Supervisors Into Council
for Consideration of Roads.

c. unity Clerk Moses was busy
yesterday mailing an order of the
court to the various road supervis-
ors of the county. This order
was made at the recent session.
It requests each supervisor of the
county to attend the Thursdays S
session Of the court in September,
and gives to each a days pay for
the service.
The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss roads, road plans and road
interests of the county, and to ar
rive at thorough understanding
of the same. In the late road op-
erations some Of the supervisors
paid one price for labor, and other
supervisors paid different wages.
for the same service In some
districts s.. 50 was paid per day for
man and team, and others So per
day. It is proposed at the, coming
meeting, to get supervisors and
court in complete harmony and to
have a thorough organization, not
only for such work as may be done
this season, but in preparation for
next year.
The members of the court, as isto
be seen from the road order made at
their initial session, are favorable
to permanent road Improvement,
and as the supervisors are the Off
cial representatives of the people in
the various districts On the subject
of roads, the belief is that a har-
monious and perfect method of op-
Grafton in road work is to be Sc
cured by consideration of all the
phases of the question at the COM
ing meeting.
