Most Important Matter

Eugene ia in the midst Of munich
pal waterworks campaign. That
thriving city has several times voted
upon the matter and in one or two
instances the vote was overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of the idea, but for
some unaccouutable reason it was not
carried out. Now the advocates Of
the measure seem to be in downright
earnest and.they won by putting up a
strong fight.
Mayor Matlook of that oity has
within the past week or two sent to
various cities In the Pacific North
west where there are in operation
municipal water plants a series Of
questions in regard to the cost Of
building the plants, the net income,
etc. SO far figures from Cottage
Grove. Corvallis, Pendleton. Oregon
City, Portland and walla walla have
been received and In each instance
the plant 10 financial success and
the ratesfor water to the consumer are
much lower than In those oities
where the plants are owned by private

Pendleton has pumping plant
which was built in 1878. The net
profit to the city from tho plant In

The department heretofore used for
the making of cider as been vacated
and in its place will but up neat ad.
dition to the structure. while other
quarters will be provided for the
making of the cider. The new addi-
tion will be S6x40 feet in size aud
will for the present be used for store
room. II will be two-story and well
equipped for being of much use. The
entire building is being fitted with
porches and thus made much neater
and pleasanter for the workers
Just now large quantity of toma-
toes. pumpkins and squash is being
canned and much nice jelly is also
being put up, There is quite brisk
demand for these things from all over
the west and the cannery manage
ment is sending off shipments right
along to various points ON the coast.
The valuable services of j. G..
Weber of San Francisco have been
secured to conduct the canning de.
partment He was for some time con.
nected with the Alaska Packers As
sooiaion.. where the was regarded as
valuable man and Manager Sampson
is to be congratulated upon being able
to induce him to stop and have charge
OF this important branch Of the work.
Soon the manufacturing of Samp.
sons Spray will commence in earnest
and already there have been number
OF large orders booked for this popu lar
production. Manager Sampson made
. little trip through Douglas county,
the other day and succeeded in selling
four cars OF the output in short order,
with others to follow. He finds that
the fruit growers are well Informed
as to the value Of the spray and In
many cases he did not even have TO
explain its good properties, the
farmer telling him that he knew all
about 1t and that he would take scms
OF the spray just as soon as he could
get 1t. One Of the leading stores of
hoseburs will be the distributor for
tnas section and the demand is already
very good. And this is put a starter.
Mr.. Sampson proposes to see that the
spray Is used all over the state. He
Is making large plans for turning
out lots OF the product and hopes to
be able to supply all the demand
right from the start.

medical Journal comments on the restless bratl worker of our large clt- les and refers to the fact that he thinks e knows as much about the needs oi the brain. when he Is tired and shows brain flag, as a trained practitioner.
 He Is inclined to spur up the tired organs by some stimulant or perhaps quIet his complaints with some narco- tic and this plan goes on until sudden l. he collapses, for brain flag Is sure sign that the elements that compose the brain are being more rapidly used up than replaced by the food.
 There Is really a choice of but two pathways for an active brain worker a man of affairs-when he shows symp- toms of breaking down. Either he must uuit work or he must have food that will replace the structure of brain and nerve centres as rapidly as they are used up each day.
 Chemical analysis of the particles tt rown out through the pores of t.-e body shows that after continued brain work, a large portion of excreta con tains phosphate of potash. It Is known that when this element Is furnished by the food in proper quantities. the sys- teu unites 1t with albumen and from that compound makes the gray matter that fills the nerve centres and the brain.
 This is an especial feature of the food known as Grape-Nuts. delicious, r r.ady-cooked and predigested break fast food.
 A definite and well understood gain tn brain power and physical strength win set in after Grape-Nuts has been used eight or ten days. and sustain ed and continued brain work can be c 4,ried on if a reliance Is placed upon th.s food in connection with the ordi- nary food of the day.
