MASSAGE ARTISTS

Figures in Lafayette Square
Are Scrubbed Until They
Look New.

Under the ministerinE hands Of a
gang OF scrubbers and Swedish mas
sage artists, the statues IN LAFAYETTE
Square are taking on the new look
possessed by the monument 20 the gen
tleman with the uuprouOunceabfe name
in the northeast corner.
It was decided by the powers that be,
some time ago, that the statues all
over the city were acquiring an old
and worn look not compatible with the
proposed Identification Of the city.
Judging by the time that il has taken
10 clean the statue 10 Lafayette, in the
square bearing his name, il will take
some time 10 battle all OF them prop

The operation seems 10 be quite COM
piicated. ScafoldinE is first raised

would be to give the impression that
there was an old statue on a new base
So the order went out 20 have 2 gang

come and put the statue itself into
shape.

WILL WET 10000 ACRES
ON THE ROGUE RIVER

Grants Pass. Ore.-F J. Blakeley
of Roseburg is backed by large east
ern capital in a project to build a
storage reservoir at the head of the
Applegate river to irrigate the valley
in the vicinity of Grants Pass by a
gravity esystem. Mr.. Blakeley has
taken the preliminary steps toward
the organization of an irrigation dis
trict petitions for that purpose be-
ing circulated and signed by a con-
siderable number Of people. 1t is the
claim Of Mr.. Blakeley and his asso-
ciates that sufficient water can be
gathered at the head Of the Apple
gate to cover 10000 acres of land,
and the topography of the country is
such as to make a large storage res
ervoir feasible and without any great
engineering difficulties.
The coming of irrigation from some
source is as certain as the sunrise.
The values of fruit lands are constant
ly being advanced by the demands of
newcomers
Whatever plan of development is
adopted by the local irrigation COM
pany, If it goes through as projected.
It will mean much to the city and vi
cinity, for It will put a large amount
of cash into circulation, to say moth
ing of the appreciation of the land
and the increased attractiveness Of the
region for investors.
