Several hundred persons, many of
whom were from the outlying coal
camps aided in the search for the
missing bodies of Dominick and
Joseph Minichie]lo. Frances Palmetto
and Ercoal Buffetti on the banks OF
the Arkansas river but no new devel.
opments we're brought to light. The
search was more systematic yesterday
than any day since the disappearance
Of the men was first reported. The
country was covered distance of five
miles from the Bavori shack.
Dynamite was resorted to in the
hope that II the bodies had been
weig ghted and thrown into the stream
that the explosion of the powder
would rend the bodies asuDder and
fragments OF flesh or clothing would
come to the surface. But it was evi :
dent that the bodies were not In these
places, for there WAS no evidence
brought forth which would lead to
the conclusion that the bodies had
been thrown In there. The senrch for
the bodies in the river has been tenn
porarily abandoned. II Is figured
that II the bodies are IN the river
that the water IL 30 cold that they
would be preserved for several days
and that parts OF them would not
come to surface until putrifaction
had rot in.
The search is being conducted in
the hills, ravines and arroyas between
here and Portland today and small
army Of men are at wd0. That Sec
tion IL one Of the widest In this
part Of the county and 1t would not
be difficult thing to secret a body 70
that II would be months or probably
years before II could be located.

THE FARM WATER.
It Should Be Piped In Some Way to
All Buildings Where Needed.

All farm buildings should be sup
piled with water brought underground
in pipes from the source of water sup
ply. The barns as well as the dwell
ings should be thus supplied. The
cost is small and the convenience
great. Many farmer is carrying
water year after year not only for his
stock but for the use of the family
when the water should be always at
hand The chief reason for this is
the lifelong habit of the farmer, which
he does not see the advantage of
changing,
Recently case came to the atten-
ton of the writer that shows how q
man will hang to an old condition
when he has no reason for doing so.
A young man from one of the farms
went to college and got some new
ideas. He studied farm mechanics,
and got little taste for mechanical
engineering. When he returned to
the farm he saw many things that
might be done TO increase the COM
fort of the family and make the work
easier.
One of the drawbacks OF the farm
was the necessity for carrying water
some hundreds of feet to the house
and the barn, and this water had to be
carried in pals. Moreover, during
most of the year the boys mother
had to carry the water that was used
in the kitchen. The father was op-
posed to any improvements and re-
fused to let the boy exercise his abii-
ity in making improvements.
On the hill little way from the
house was a perpetual spring sufii-
ciently high above the house so that
If a pipe were laid the water would
of itself flow into the kitchen. The
temptation for the boy to utilize this
supply was so great that he could not
resist II. So the first time he went
10 town he laid in supply of pipe
and the materials for making joints
and connections. with taps and fau'
Gets. Then he began his work clan
destinely. When his father would be
away for half day or so the young
man would dig trench, lay what pipe
he could and cover 1t up again before
his father got home. lie continued
this till he had laid the pipe from the
spring to the house, had made all at
tachments and had the water running
into the sink, where his mother could
use II at will and without effort.
At this stage he was no longer able
to keep the secret from the head OF
the house. As It had gone so far the
father accepted the fact as accom-
plished. but he refused permission to
the boy to carry the pipe just little
further TO the barns. 1t is n strange
thing that people will become so set
In their ways as not to avail them
selves of natural laws. which were
created 10 serve them.
