WESTON HAS PLENTY

Debris Of All Kinds.


! Weston, Ore. Aug. 21.-(Spccial)
EVERY summer for years past pump

sary owing to the supply from the
headwaters failing to meet the de-
mands. Irrigation of lawns has al
ways, sooner or later been ordered sus-
pended each year, until this year es
pecially, owners of lawns have ceased
to attempt to keep up their lawns dur
| ing the hot season, for following the
usual experience they. anticipated. the
ordering of the cessation of lawn
sprinkling just at the time when the
lawns most needed the moisture. Some
years in the past the city pumps have
been compelled to run night and day
for from so to 100 days, and then ow-
ing to the lack of supply the water
was only allowed to be used for DOM
este purposes.

the pipe line this season to see if mud
and roots were not getting in their
work. he discovered that the pipe was
full of stones and rubbish cutting off
almost the entire flow of the water. |
Continuing his work along the lines of |
his discovery he succeeded in removing
and clearing the pipe so that now
there is a full and almost an unlimited |
supply. Streets are being sprinkled.

flowing over, fire protection is afford
ed at the most critical time of the
year and the city pump is at stand
still for no pumping is necessary.
If the city had been wise to the cause
of the scarcity of water in the years
past, thousands of dollars might have
been saved and dried up lawns would /
have been looking fresh and green.

because there is no where else for
them to live, the outside slopes being

the people are all Dutch. Neverthe-
less they speak English as their ma :

on top of a mountain.
Although surrounded on all sides
by the sea, they often spend weeks
without seeing it, for that involves a
long climb up the rim of the crater.
Still less frequently do they touch
salt water, because to do so, they
must. in addition, climb downward
for a distance OF 1900 feet by a pre-
cipitous rock-hewn path. known as
the ladder.
1t is, however, in regard to their

Napoleon practically tore Paris down

improvements that Napoleon mede
have since stood and the Paris that
he fell heir to was far from being the
Paris that his successors inherited

not sufficient defniteness even il

done by him was not sufficient!

department of the Commercial club, IN
| conjunction with the Walla Walla
! Realty board, coerced certain county
officials into signing statement waiv-
ing claims to an increase of salary be-
cause the county has been raised from
the eleventh to the seventh class, a
small tempest in teapot has resulted,
and those officials who were quoted as
saying they were forced into the dea;
are greatly incensed.
Some time. ago when the plan was
sprung to increase the classification Of
the county from the eleventh to the
seventh class, the statement was made
that there would be no increase in sal
aries, even though it was said the SUI
preme court decision permitted the
payment of salaries stipulated for Off
Gals of seventh class counties. The
argument was presented by l.. E.
Macham, publicity manager, and the
committee from the real estate board
that the increase in salary could not
under the state statutes become eff
feciv bfor January II, 1909. AS a mere
matter of precaution for taxpayers,
document was circulated iast week
among the officials who might be in
terested by an increase, by which they
waived any claim to such increase.
Yesterday a story appeared in the
Spokesman Review under a Walla
Walla dating. to the effect that prac-
tically all of the county officers had
stated they had been coerced, with
of political extinction, to at
tach their names. Statements given
on today by those who We're mis-

such statements for publication, and
