Much of the So-called friendship of
the day is but pretense. 1t exists
only in name and as soon as it ceases
to be advantageous it is dropped.
The friendship that continues the
same in prosperity and adversity is to
be priced, but all other kinds are
worthless. 1t matters not how hard
a man may struggle to do right and
make a success of life there Is always
some loathsome reptile, some worth
less wretch who is ready to drag him
down, to blight his hopes and blast bis
fondest ambitions. The loss of money
and property is not the greatest loss a
man can sustain in the business
world; far better to lose your money
than to lose, hope and ambition.

Stevens Point capitalists to take over
the holdings of the former company
for S350,O00. The oil company is in
corporated at only S40,0 and it will

value. 1t is said that the Stevens
Point people have valuable holdings
adjacent to the Shiocton Oil Co. and
that this is given as the reason for
the offer.

REPAIR LEAK ON
SELAH DITCH

The leak in the Selah ditch which
occurred last Friday afternoon has
been repaired and the ditch is now
in good condition and no further
trouble is loked for. The leak &C.
Cured at the west end of the tunnel
on the McWhorter ranch in the up
per Naches valley and overlooked
the Wapatox ditch. In order to re-
pair the leak it was necessary to turn
the water off in both bitches. The
leak caused very little damage to
property, the only damage being to
the ditch.
One of the employees of the Selah
Development company stated that
the water had just recently been
turned into the ditch and at the
point where it broke the ditch was
in very weak condition and could
not stand the rush Of the water.
Ranchers living in the neighbor-
hood of the ditch where the leak oc-
Cured stated that If it had not been
noticed soon after the leak there
probably would have been great
deal of damage done.

TO ASK CITY TO
BUY SPR|KKLERS

A petition being circulated among
the business men of the city will
probably result in the city purchaS-
ing street sprinklers and the NUM-
cipality doing the street sprinkling
work.
There should be four street
sprinklers in operation" states Coun-
Gilman Armbruster. "My idea would
be to have two street sprinklers in
operation on all the streets north
of Yakima avenue between Fourth
street and Sixth avenue west. These
should operate at night.
1.-TWO of the street sprinklers
should operate in the day time in
the business district. Two wagons
altogether would not be sufficient.
There should be four wagons. A
wagon is apt to break down at any
time and much difficulty results"
A number Of merchants are said
to be in favor of the city doing the
street sprinkling work and dt is
stated they will make every attempt
to have resolutions to purchase
sprinklers go through the city coun-
ell.

who was with Sverdrup on the Fran ex.
pedition, a party OF seven Norwegians and
one Frenchman covered LOCO miles over In
the interior glaciers, camping between the
crevasses without other resources than
those carried by their dog train. The
party obtained complete chart of the
region, which 10 covered with glaciers, only
the submits Of the mountains showing
above the ice.
The meteorological experiments were es.
pecially interesting. Pilot balloons dis.
patched from the Prinzesse Alice explored
the atmosphere up to the hitherto unat-
tanned height of 5000 feet. The air was
so pure that the tiny balloons, which only
measured three feet in diameter, could be
followed with the eye for distance Of 128
miles.
During the photographic researches in
Cross bay icebergs Of exceptional dimen.
sions were observed Their circumference
was as much as 800 feet ana their height
90 feet. Drs. Porter and Richard made
some interesting experiments relative to
