VIII Not Work On Farms

The fact that foreign immigrants
are no good as farm laborcrs. has long

has been superseded by a more modern
machine. a careful search in the base
ment of The Dalles engine house brought
to light some precious relics of the
old cart, including one of the brass
bells that decorated the front of the
machine. The bell was in fragments,
but Krauth brought 1t home and had
it cemented together and mounted by
q. Mattheis, engineer of Engine l, Ala
media.
Mattlres was a little dubious about
undertaking the task

he said.
I'm sure they are" declared Chief
Krauth, for / put them together be-
fore leaving oregon. All you have to
do is put them together again and

early eighties a member of the old
company heard that 1T decorated the

invaded the dance hall and offered TO

but all in vain. Then he broke loose.
Look here. That front belongs to
Rincon hose No. 6. If you don't hand
ii over right off I'll have the crowd
down here in a jiffy and they'll clean
out this joint in style"
The proprietor looked anxious. The
crowd? What scrowd?"
