A frozen water pipe on Pleasant
street was finally thawed out last
week by electricity, this work, which
was in charge of Supt Smith of the
Woodstock Electric Co., being the
first of the kind ever done here.
Several men were digging three or
four days to get at the pipe and
picked and chiseled their way
through nearly seven feet of frozen
earth as hard as rock. Last year, in
the same place, barrels of hot water
were used to clear the pipe, but this
time some experimental electrical
work was resorted to. A wire was
strung from the wire on the pole
near F. S. Mackenzie's barn to the
pipe and another to a cutoff in Tri-
bou park, about 200 feet away. A
transformer reduced the current to
104 volts and this was applied to
the pipe, which was warmed up and
cleared in about an hour after the
right connection had been made.
With special apparatus the work
could be done in much quicker
time, Supt. Smith says. At West
Woodstock Tuesday electricity
thawed out pipe in 20 minutes, one
wire being attached to the sill cock
at W. G. Vaughan's house and the
other to hydrant in the street. The
pipe was frozen somewhere between
the house and the road, but electric
ity found and started the water with
out any digging or other trouble.

A Mule and Millions.
From the Worlds Work

Half the lead that mas beer mined in
the United States has come from the
famous Occur d'Alenes, the most pro-
ductive ead mines in the world. Like
many of the richest mines, they We're
discovered by pure luck. A man lent
course of their wanderings the mule
was tied to Il tree, and he, becoming
impatient, paved the ground N I'M
covered a lead vein which is now the
ute of the famous Bunker Hill Sullivan
nine.
bird interest in the claim, and the
ourts granted it to him, stating that
S the mule had made the discovery,
nd that, as he was its owner, he was
entitled to the mules share. h three
owners sold their discovery for a half
million dollars, and nothing was too
good for that mule for the rest of his
days. He was exhibited in Il private
car and lived on the fat of the land,
and now 81 tombstone mark his grave.
His harness hangs In a noted saloon,
where 1t is ga2ed upon with deepest
reverence by the old-time prospectors.
The mine is he richest silver-lead
mine In the world, yielding a net rev.
enue of 81, 500. 900. Since their discov-
cry in 1884 the Occur d'Alene mines
have produced nearly 5000. 600. 900 in
gold, silver and lead.
The hop crop of the world is grown in
much fewer localities thar the wheat
crop, but it seems to be nearly as diff
cult to work up a corner on hops as 1t
is on wheat. A Grants Pass grower
has just closed out a large lot at Is
cents a pound, after refusing 30 cents
last fall, when they We're ready for
market. There is a limit in the price
at which any commodity will move in
normal quantities, and when that linn
it is passed the consumption is re-
stricted and substitutes are used.
Apparently 30 cents a pound was bou
the dead line between Il normal demand
and Its curtailment by high prices.
