story of the high water that prevail
ed the last of the week, is related about
town. According to report two young
men, one of whom is said to be named
Montgomery. were engaged in cutting
wood on Kiger island. and they lived in
"shack" nearby. F,iday night they
retired as usual but in the morning the
water was a foot deep under the bed
having flooded the place during the night.
The young men hastily arose, put their
cook stove up on their table and managed
to get some breakfast, after which they
rlambered to the roof of their shanty
and awaited an opportunity to get out.
The day was bitterly cold and they were
drenched to the skin, but when friend
remembered them and went in boat to
their rescue he found the boys almost
frozen but whistling bavely as they sat
on the roof. The water had almos t
reached the caves, of the house when
they left their uncomfortable perch

An orchardist who has recently
been travelling through the Villa

opinion the great increase of inter
est now shown in fruit growing in
the Willamette Valley and the gen

care for orchards will result in
making the fruit crop of the Villa
mette Valley within a few years
worth more than the whole fruit
crop of the state is worth at the

Can We Afford It.

We are assured on good au-
thority that FIVE railroad men are
arranging to move their families
from this city if rent continues
to advance. If they go others
will follow. Railroad men as a
class live we'll and are not given
to com plant nor are they close
listed in their expenditures but
really are prone to lean the other
way. Can we afford to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg?
Whatever builds up a city bene-
fits everybody living in that city.
The increase in population in
creases trade and keeps money
in circulation. A public spirited
broad-ninded policy on the part
of our citizens means a big flu
ture for Fitzgerald.
