CITY OWNED WORKS.

Municipal ownership of water
works and other public utilities
means that whatever profit is earn
ed goes to the people, and not to
swell the fortune of private individ-
uals or corporations. Oregon City
is town in point. The water
plant there cost the city $4,000
but there is a net profit now of "a
bout Sc, ,ooo per year, and the debt
on the works is already reduced to
$23, 900 and is being swiftly paid
off from the surplus income. An
other case is that of Goldendale.
The city was bonded in 1890 for
$40, 900 to install system of water
works, and since that time improv-
ments have been added to the
amount of S12, 900, making total
amount of $4,000 invested. Upt
about two years ago the water was
furnished by Hess & Cooper for
$1,000 per year, but at that time the
city bought the pipe line at a cost
of $4,000, and now the city owns
all its water system.
The revenue received by the city
from the water is $5,4oo per year
and the cost of maintaining the
same is about $4,000, or in other
words the system is paying about
22 per cent interest on the capital
invested.
The Sherman County Observer
says: "The Dalles has a bonded
indebtedness of S72, 1000 for the
city water plant. The bonds come
due in about seven ears. Of this
amount, $52. 900 is for the first is
sue. Sufficient funds are now On
hand to meet the payment when
due. Interest on this fund offsets
the interest paid to the bond hold.
e's. A sinking fund is also rapid
ly accumulating for the later issue
OF $4,000, made few years age
for an extension of the system.
When the bonds are due. payment
will be made in full. The revenue
from the water plant is S17oo E
month in the summer, and abou
$500 month in the winter. Two
men are employed to look after the
system at salary per month of So;
each. This together with expense
for repairs leaves the city over ST
200 month to place in the sinking
fund. In few years The Dale
Twill have handsome income for al
city expenses paid directly by tn
municipal water plant.

BACK TO HOSPITAL.
For Second Operation And out Again
Physical Director Trine.

-fnYS1Cal UfreCt0r lr1ne.
Physical Director Trine has had
another operation. That does not
mean that the first resort to the
knife was unsuccessful. for on the
contrary word to the Times by mail
is to the effect that it was Every
successful" Often, however. sue
cessful operations require secondary
or finishing. up touches, and the
newest one in the case of Mr.. Trine
was of that character. 1t wss per-
formed last Tuesday in Good Sa-
maritan hospital. and Thursday
Mr.. Trine left the place and went
to 361 Alder, where he is with rel
atives,
The new operation had two pur-
poses to accomplish. One was to
enable him to more perfectly close
the mouth, which was. successfully
accomplished by cutting done with
the lower lip. The other was to
give him better command of the Or
gans cf speech, and the statement is
that the work was so perfect that
the long-sufering patient will be
able to talk quite plainly when the
new wounds are healed. The last
time, Mr.. Trine was on the operat-
ing table an hour and a quarter.
The first operation required three
hours. The fact that the wounds
in the first operation have all per-
fectly and quickly healed is ac-
counted a sure sign that the old
malady with which Mr.. Trine suf
fered throughout th1 winter, has
been successfully and permanently
removed.
Mr.. Trine left the hospital on
Wednesday of last week. He re-
turned Monday, was operated on
Tuesday, and Thursday he left
again. His many friends hope
that his last departure from the
place will be his final adieu to it.
Miss Florence Wicks, a we'll
known Corvallis'gir1 was the private
nurse for Mr.. Trine during both
operations.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent. of his earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs
but few cents, and a bottle oft in the house
often saves doctors bill of several dollars,

Persistent r1Imors have been circulating
here that the Baldwin Locomotive works Of
Philadelphia is coming west to secure more
room and to be nearer the center OF the
United States The officers Of the plant, IL
IS said have decided TO locate in some city
along the Missouri river and among the
towns mentioned are Omaha, Plattsmouth,

Railroad men in Omaha claim 10 know
nothing of this matter, but think IL is a
possibility. The west is calling for engines
faster than they can be turned out by the
eastern plants and many more will be
needed in the near future when all OF the
new lines now IN course OF construction are
put IN operation. General Manager Hold
fege Of the Burlington disclaimed any
knowledge Of this report.
The Baldwin works has always been
