FIGHTING MINOR PESTS.

In spite of much ridirulr and fire.
qucnt loud expressions Of III" incrcd,
nlity. the campaign against some Of
the minor pests of life promises to be
wagcd with more aggressive viGor
than ever this summer. All over the
country active preparations are I'M
d'rway TO wage the greatest war ever
known on the mosquito. Scientific
tests made at army posts have proved
beyond all question that rigorous care
IN screening from mosquitoes and
flies the quarters where the men live
and eat has resulted in signal I'M
proVement In the average health of
the men.
In Chicago persist mt crusade
has been CARRIED On to impress the
people with the need Of keeping ont
of their houses the dirty and pesti-
ferrous fly who com into existence
amcng filthy surrounding, and never
wipes his feet" A primr factor in the
conquest Of the buhonic plague in San
Francisco seems to have been the

were described as carrying the infec-
ton; and It Is declared that the same
measuressare to he taken in the ca.

the screens about the residences and
sleeping quarters which bar the mos
quitoes that carry the germs OF ma

In brief. 1t looks as If the people
were waking up to the fact that one
of the things required for their well
Icing is persistent warfare against a
class of nuisances which are now also
pronounced to be a source of danger.
Even those persons who refuse to- be-
lisve thai the buzzing fly. the yexa.

rat are dlsseminators Of disease can
afford to join in this movement. For
whatever their opinions on this sub
ject are. nobody will deny that every

What They Wanted.

The students OF an Eastern College
grew SO reckless in their behavior
that tn, professor one morning at
chapel thought 10 rCprovc their con
duct by 4 lecture on morality. They
listened with due submission and
humility. In the course OF his lee
tire he said:
My young friends. the floors OF
hell are paved with champagne. an'o
mobiles and chorus; girls. He was
Mortified TO hear one of the students

TALKS NEW WATER MAINS
Eight Thousand Feet OF Iron
Water Mains and Connect
Ions May Be Put In at
Cost Of $4,000 90.

Last Monday evenings council
meeting was a busy session as
most important business was
brought up by Mayor Farnsworth
for the decision Of the council
men.
The first matter TO be taken
up was new iron water mains
to replace the wooden pipes. Mr..
Fish, of Crane 4 Co. of Portland,
was present to give the council
an idea of the best material and
cost. The 5000 feet required,
7s inches inside measurements,
with necessary connections. he
estimated at a cost of about
81, 600. The approximate to-
tai expense of completed job
would be between $4,000 and
$l3, 600. figured several council
men. The council was united on
rushing the work to early COM
pletion and definite action will
be taken at the next meeting.
The laying of new mains viii, it
is believed, lower the cost Of run
ming the water system and place
it on a paying basis and perhaps
lower the present high water
rate, which is due to the loss of
nearly half of the water pumped
in the wooden pipes from the
station on account of leaks. 1t
is now claimed that the wooden
mains were not properly placed.
Bills amounting to 81, SIC. So
were ordered paid. d. Tierney
for the o. r. & N. brought in a
bill of $715. 65 for a gasoline en-
gine and pumping plan. which
the city had secured from the
company several years ago and
had been using since that time.
This matter created much dis
cussion as the price asked was
thought exhorbitant, and the
bill was held over for investiga-
ton.
Mayor Farnsworth then took
up the present railroad yards

The Eye being a delicate organ
demands the attention Of the most
skilled Optician in case Of refrac.
tive errors, or Occulist in case OF
organic affection. The public
should be especially warned
against persons who impudently
assume the titleof Expert when il
is fact that they never saw the
idside Of an Optical College, hence
are not qualified TO detect the
many and various kinds Of refrac.
tive errors. An expert to assume
this title legally must be a grad
uate in Optics. To avoid the poss-
ibility of the public being misled
by unfair and untrue inferences, ]
wish TO state that my title is not
assumed, but was conferred on me
by the faculty Of one Of the best
optical colleges in this country.

House Destroyed by Dynamite

nouso DostFoyeo Dy dynamite.
Jacob Larch, who is now in the
east. had the misfortune on Fri
day Of last week Of losing his
house by fire assisted by a can Of
giant powder. There are many
different stories afloat as to the
way II happened but as near as
can be learned, the man who was
working for John McEachern
drilling a well on the Larch farm
near Glen went to the house to
get some Giant powder from the
cistern where he had it cached
and left II sitting on a bench out
side while stepped into the house
for a few minutes, On coming
out he forgot the powder and
went to the drilling machine and
after some time noticed that the
house was in flames. Seeing that
the fire was beyond control and
fearing that the powder would
explode, he stayed away and af-
ter a few minutes the powder
did explode. scattering bits Of
the house and pieces of the stove
for hundreds Of feet.
