ment of M. S. Scudder lie having
recently purchased the plant. He
is doing first class work. Laundry
leaving Tuesday will return Fri
day evening. ]. N. Scott has tax

Leave orders at his store or notify
him when you have laundry to

Water came yesterday and a
liberal supply is flowing through
the canal and all latterals. Con-
tractor Hanson finished his work
yesterday on the canal and to day
goes to Kiona to do work on the
Kiona extension. The ditch crew
who will manipulate the water in
the canal and laterals are; J, R.
Quigley, c. f. Duffy, Richard
Huson, VIM. Sepple. Fay F. Dean,
II. Kirkpatrick and Jno. Stuible.
Another large consignment Of
fruit trees arrived yesterday from
the Albany Nurseries, Albany,
Oregon. Fruit Inspector Gorsuch
is kept busy these days inspecting
fruit trees, shade trees and small
fruit plants that are being planted
this spring. The orchard area is
very large but at this writing we
have not the exact data and it will
pobably be two or three weeks be-
fore all the inspections will be COM
pleted and then we will be able to
give in exact figures, the acreage
and number of trees planted and
the berry rea.
Sims and Cutler have invented a
land leveler which was given a test
yesterday near town, and proved
emenen,ly satisfactory. 1t is 80
feet in length and drawn by six
horses. 1t does splendid work.
Ordinary land can be lcveled at the
rate Of 6 acres per day. Patent has
been applied for Oh the invention,
and IS machines will be nanufact-
ured without delay by Harris &
Canadian at their shop in town.
The leveler will prove wonderful
saving in leveling land in this Sec
ton especially large tracts. Those
interested should inspect the con-
trivance.
The snow fall in the mountains
have been quite heavy this year,
and high water may be expected
in both Columbia and Snake riv-
ers. 1t depends, however, entirely
upon the weather during the next
sixty days. Should the coming
month be cold and backward and
the later part o. May turn exceed
ingly warm, high water will
be a certainty. But this peculiar
condition would bring high water
any season. So after all it does
not depend npon the snow fall in
the mountains as much as it does
upon the weather during May and
June. Ifwarm and cold spells al
ternate in May, especially. the
snow will melt gradually without
causing any foods.

The Quest Of the Infinite.

By David James Evaus.

routine,
From pressing, painful cares OF daily
life;
I hasten to the silent forests green,
Which seem lmbued with Natures
spirit, rife
Away from the learned doctors, teach
ers-all-
Who cannot teach my hungry heart
The secret of the thoughts that oft
appall,
Nor one clear ray the certain way to
show
For, oh, go distant is the God, unknown
Whom oft seek to know-snd seek
to gain
His saving Grace. But am still alone,
Betide the promises-high- sounding,
vain
What is the truth? Great God, why
this suspensef
To me no dogma doth the answer
give;
l want to know the whittier and the
whence,
And when l die, do I begin to live?
What lies beyond For aye, the human
ChaIdea, Syria, Egypt, Greece and
Rome
Have crossed the crest to that uncer-
tain place,
Yet know we naught OF their eternal
home!
Man has an answer to this question
sought
What lies beyond the portals dark
and wide?
Mankind have gone-and go-with
anxious thought,
Across the summit OF the Great d.
vide
Across the Great Divide the Indians
Wide Irairles spread-their happy
hunting grounds
Does not the pale faces creed with
theirs agree,
Who sees beyond heayen-vast,
profound
Reveal the truth, Almighty God above
Unveil the secrets OF eternity;
Then will live a lie OF truth and
love,
And all that life I'll consecrate to
Thee!

Though apparently Insignificant,
nothing is more important in the
home or conduces more to the hra'th
and comfort Of the family, tLan the
careful washing Of the dishes and prop
er care of cloths and towels-why,
death, in the form OF typhoid germs
has been known to lUrk in an unclean
diehcloth |! Therefore, when servants
are employed they should be required
to wash, scald and hang them to dry
out in the SIN, since in the summer
time they will quickly sour. "Any
old thing" is often selected for this i'm
portant purpose, even to old socks, and
by housewives who deem themselves
the "plnk of neatness." The writer
prefers porous material, and nothing
Is more SO than mosquito netting.
Fold the same four or more thick:ess-
es and quilt with a coarse thread. Be-
ing such inexpensive goods, new
dish cloth may often be obtained.
Some housewives place dlsb-c;cl!:s
and towels in the regular weekly wash-
ing but this seems uncleanly Ia thc
writer. Would we not deem it very
unclean to use hand towels ard under
wear--after having been used week
to wipe ones dishes? Then why Is 1t
cleanly to throw dlsh-towe!s in with
such soiled thin g, and then wash
them together? A separate washing
for table linen and dish-towcls Is by
far the better way. Indeed, to the

rinsing said utensils, notwithstanding
that they are usually washed after all OF

Reading Aloud.

Medical Talk.
There Is one form OF entertainment
and instruction which ls within the
reach OF every home.
Reading aloud from some good book,
magazine, or newspaper. 1t may be
funny story or an interesting romance,
a good sermon, or bit OF news. Any
thing, everything so the hearers are
edited, instructed or amused.
The one who can read best, at first
bad better do the reading; the rest sit
around and listen. After dinner or in
the evening or at any other time when
it is convenient. But sooner or later
every one should take turn at the
reading.
The world is full of excellent maga-
zines. Books are very cheap. The
father or mother who have qui! read
ing such things can do no better than
to join this reading circle. A dash OF
sentiment or romance won't hurt any
one.
No more beautiful or inspiring sight
can be imagined than a family gather
ed around in a reading circle, one
member reading. It is Instructive 70
the ones who listen and an excellent
development to the one who reads.
To read we'll and fiuentIy is the high
est form OF accomplishment. 1t can
only be acquired by constant practice
Reading aloud every day little.
Where father and mother, daugh-
ter ana son, laugh together at the same
amusing anec 1ote, CT are touched with
sympathy by some pathetic story.
where such things occur happiness and
prosperity are always certain to be
found.
Better than the theater, more inspir-
ing than the average sermon, more
conducive to home fraternity and
harmony than the most brilliant lec-
ture.

thing in which all members are inter-
ested. 1t is habit very easily formed,
the value of which can scarcely he

he concluded with an "I know-don't-

Yes, this is true. We fnd what we

pecting to be falsely dealt with We are
quite apt to prove correct in our reck-
onings. We get what we give. If we
give suspicion, we'll get 1t back. You

A man I know who raises thorough

Lesson from the old woman In the poor
house who had lost friends, home,
money-everything. Visitors asked
her tho meaning of her happy face !;
she said she had 80 much to be thank-
full for. When asked what that was
she said the only two teeth she had
left met so that she could chew. Be-
lieve every one to be good until he is

and tho worst will not reach you. As
We have sown We shall always reap.
