TO PUT WATER
ON THE HILL

Water for residents on the hill seems
now an assured fact. Long, long
ago was this promised Many people
bought land on the hill expecting to be
able to build with the assurance that
they would soon have the convenience
of hydrant water to all parts of their
house. But well had to answer the
purpose, where it was possible to dig a
well.
But this is to be all changed now.
The dream of water on the hill will
soon be startling reality. Workmen
are now laying pipes to bring the water
from the Lyman Smith spring.
The stockholders of the water COM
pany have been not little reticent in
giving out the information of this move,
preferring to let actions rather than
mere talk speak for the company. The
citizens on the hill will no doubt gladly
welcome the water, even though some
of them declare they would prefer to
see it put in by the municipality.
The spring on the Ordway property,
formerly the Lyman Smith place, is
now running five or six inches of water,
so says Mr.. Smith. A few years ago
the spring ran barely an inch, but since
the waters of Hood river have been so
freely spread over the lands of the
upper part Of the valley the flow of the
spring has been greatly accelerated
Workmen are putting in terracotta
tiling from the spring to the road, and
the rest of the distance the water will
be carried in six-inch wooden pipes to
the reservoir on the block just west OF
II. II. Bailey's residence.
Here it is understood the water will
be collected in a 30-foot standpipe,
which will insure sufficient pressure to
put the Water to any residence on the
hill. Another S-inch pipe will lead
from the standpipe down the hill to
connect with the main from the Coe
springs at a point near the Park street
school house.
Here valves will be put in so the
water supply can be increased or de-
creased accordingly as the water is
needed when fire hydrants are drawn
upon. 1t is understood that the Water
company will stand prepared to furnish
the city water for fire protection as
soon as the Improvements now being
made are completed.

Ga Thursday evening the members Of
the Baptist church went TO the home OF
their pastor, Rev. K A Williams, and
proceeded TO pound" him in ~ most
substantial fashion. They struck him
with every conceivable weapon from a
package Of soda to a barrel OF flour, but
while the blows were hard and heavy he
recovered very quickly and now wears a
very smiling and cheerful face.
Almost everything that the loving
thoughtfulness of generous hearted
people could think Of was broughti but
perhaps one of the chief charms OF their
gift vas that the pastor no doubt looks
noon them each one az a message OF
love. Thus it will serve double .pur-
pose in that while it will greatly refresh
and strengthen the inner man 1t Will
