Water rates come high these days.
AS result Of bonding the city, one
business mans taxes amounts to 1921.
Oh, yes, the water system was going
to be self supporting, when they
wanted voters to fix the city good and
plenty with a per cent mortgage
plaster. The commission really re-
quired a 1O-mill tax, and this is what
will have to be levied next year, so
the taxpayers can see, now they have
to go down in their jeans, that those
who so strongly advocated the system
and that it was going to be profitable
investment, were only fooling the tax
payers. -TilIamook Headlight.

Einnce md Sweetheart.

For centuries we have tried to get
the word that expresses the relation of
the man to the maid he intends to
marry. 'Intended" has been tried and
found wanting. "My bloke," my
young man" - these combinations are
not heard in the best circles. "My be-
trothed," a phrase used in Germany
has not taken root in England. my
sweetheart" is pretty enough, but il
lacks the official sound. Young men
and maidens become engaged and mar
ry, but they have to cross the channel
for the word that leads them to the
altar. One might suggest to the blush
ing girl who has to allude to the man
Of her acceptance my future" French

Before the days of artillery the moat
was an effective means of defense, par
ticularly when filled with water. In
very large forts or castles it sometimes
assumed the dimensions of q lake, be-
ing often 100 yards wide and ten to
twenty feet deep. The moat was
crossed by a drawbridge, which could
be raised at an instant's notice. When
the moat was TOO wide to permit of this
bridge covering the entire distance a
slight wooden bridge was employed.
