The CrinoIine and the Apartment
House.

GESISCs
Wouldn't it be funny if the coming
of the crinoline should work a change
in our building laws, or at least IN
the fashion of dwelling places? What
ever condition it brings about, now
ever, will be of short duration we can
easily see, knowing the whimsical
way Dame Fashion has OF changing
her mind. so we can afford to dis
cuss the hoopskirt and its influence
without getting too serious. And we
should like to know how Wearers OF
balloonlike skirts can expect to hnd
themselves accommodated in quarters
where thew we're crowded almost to
suffocation clad in their sheathllke
raiment. Will fiat jewellers desert 1or
Suburhia and further? How else car
thew live in comfort? Here furniture
manufacturers have worked day and
night for years to produce furniture
That would make living in flats less
like a problem than it was at first
and the results have been happy IN
MANY cases. Appointments that ex
pand or collapse at their owners Will
have worked miracles, almost, in re
stricted apartments, so that living IL
them has really become a JOY. Ano
nov the crinoline comes, Or says 1t is
coming, and unless that too is fitted
with callapsible qualities it does seen
that life while it remains with us Is

tinction of completing a span of four
living generations, but there are only
a few who can step into Baby Her
ron's shoes-beg pardon, she doesn't
wear any yet, for she's only two days
over four weeks old, having entered
the world October 27. However,
Baby Herron's glory may be consider
ed somewhat diminished by the fact
that she is not the first Of her family
to possess the honor, as her mother
had a great-great- grandmother until
she vas II years old, so that little
Miss Heron is a great-great-srand-
child of a groat-great-grandchild,
which is truly a strange coincidence.
Mrs. Heron is a years old, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Walford
Berry, of 32S Capen street.

does not live in Hartford, but is nice
~ situated in a cosey little cottage,
surrounded by three acres of land, at
Bombay, Franklin county, New York.
She mas lived there the greater part
OF her life, and is known to all the
Staid old settlers and their children
as the grand Old lady, Mrs. Phoebe
Dyer. She lives entirely alone and
attends to the customary cares 9f a
household with as much zeal as a
young married woman. Mrs. Dyer
is a native Of England. Sic came to
this country when she was but a lit
tie girl. Her family, Taylor by name,
settled in Canada, where she met Will
liam Dyer, a young tailor, whom She
married at the age Cf II. Mrs. Dyer
had fourteen children, seven of whom
are now living. They are Mrs. Jane
Sweet of Bombay, N. Y; John Dyer,
of Greenwich. this State; Ms Mary
Niles. of Bombay n. Y; and Robert
and Thomas Dyer and Mrs. Martha
Macdonald, of SummertOWn, Prov
ince of Ontario, Canada. Mrs. Dyer
and ner late husband moved to Bonn
bay, N. Y, while the children were
still little tots, and the father did a
prosperous business at his trade.
The oldest child Of this genera on
is Mrs. Berry, who married about
twenty-five years ago when she was
18 years Old. Mr.. Berry is a motor
man on the Burnside line. They were
blessed with five children, the Oldest
of whom is Mabel, who two years ago
married Robert Heron, and then
came Baby Heron, who serves as the
connecting link Of five generations.
The baby, with its mother, is at
present staying at Grandma Berrys
home, where a Times reporter called

uncles and aunts proudly related the

thing, on first thought, that such a
state Of affairs should exist when the

SO years GIG. 1t is easily
for, however, by considering the
early marriages of the women IN
Baby Herron's direct line of a1ces-

IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS
In LANE
Three Big Canals With Num-
erOnS LateralS Will Be
Constructed

+. j. Black, a civil engineer Of years
of experience and prominence, filed
with the county clerk Of Lane county
Monday afternoon papers for the con
struction of huge irrigation system in
Lane county, says the Eugene Guard.
One canal will commence at Thurston,
where headgate will be constructed,
and the waited will be taken from the
Mckenzie river. This canal will be ~
feet wide at the bottom and feet
deep, crossing the river below Eugene
and continuing south of the railroad,
emptying into the river six miles below
Junction City.
Another ditch Of the dimensions will
commence Just mile above Natron,
passing north Of Springfield and cross
ing the river near Judkins' Point, ex-
tending south of Eugene and entering
into another canal just below the city.
A third canal will be taken out Of
the Mckenzie just above the Coburg
bridge and will be tunnelled though
the rocky point at Coburg, entering
Muddy creek for distance, passing
near Halsey and Tangent, and entering
the river near Albany.
These systems will have cross later.
ais and proper waste bitches. Mr..
Black has had wears of experience
along the lines formulated and states
that this is the best and most feasible
project for such system proposed he
has ever seen. In few years the in.
crease in crops, the successful growth
of alfalfa and sugar beets and increas.
ed dairy products would add to the
value Of the lands and Padruple the
of the country affected.
A feature of crossing the river will
be a siphon system Of pipes under.
meath the river bed.
No bonus or anything of the kind is
asked by Mr.. Black or his associates,
who are at present unknown, but the
credentials borne by Mr.. Black assure
Eugene people that he understands his
line of business. He has been in this
for 80 days surveying and
quietly getting his papers in shape,
He will soon give out n statement for
the benefit Of the people.

OPENING IT NOW.
Cider Bottled In october-It is Sweet
as When IL Came From
the Press.
Corvallis Times, Dom)

AhhA NhAAN AAAA'nf ENhAsN
Sweet cider so preserved that il has
exactly the flavor and sweetness that
it had the day it was made last fall, is
on hand at the college. The experiment
Of Professor Pernot for preserving 1t
was referred to in the Times at the
time the beverage was treated. sam
pies recently tested demonstrate the
plan TO be entirely successful, and rem
der il certain that an industry in cider
bottling is likely to be the consequence
The method of treatment Of the
cider is to destroy the ferment germ
by a temperature so low that il will
not cook the apple fiber that may be
in solution and also not destroy the
natural flavor For the purpose tenn
perature Of 100 degrees, secured by
steam process is applied. This is
sufficient to destroy the vegetable cell
but not enough to kill the spores. Ac-
eordingly twenty-four hours later when
the spores have developed into cells,
the same heat is then applied. Twen-
ty-four hours later, as a preeaution,
third application Of heat is made. Then
the cider is corked up in bottles tight
ly enough to prevent the air from
coming in contact and the bottles are
laid away, Such bottles opened Mon
day contained cider as sweet and
wholesome as ever came from a press.
The feature of the process is that by
reason of the simple method of the
treatment, anybody can preserve the
beverage for future use at very trit
ling expense.
