from this locality Is that the lumbe
company has completed the rebuild
ing Of the flume recently wrecked
Water was turned In the new sec
tion about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
Ing. This will be great saving t
the company as compared to hauling
lumber to the railroad as was done
during the repairing of the wrecked
section. Car loads OF lumber were
dispatched regularly during the time
the flume was out of commission
This lumber was loaded on wagons
and hauled to the railroad, distance
OF about one mile.
L. T. Corllss, who has the contract
for excavating the trench for the wa
ter pipe to be laid by the Farwell
Construction company Is rushing the
work and will complete the same In
about five days. The reservoir for
the water system Is located on the
summit OF an elevation one hun
dred and forty feet above the gen.
eral level OF the section to be served.
This will, II is estimated, produce
pressure OF about 60 pounds. The
reservoir site Is beautiful one. The
view from this elevation Is grand.
The rugged and Jagged mountains
along Rogue River with their pres
ent decorations of snow and the in
tervening though less rugged hills
with the valleys between are we'll
worth the time and effort OF Hill or
Moran to depict on canvas. This
truly Is favored spot for the home
builder. With all this rugged beau
t ever In view. and thousands OF
fertile acres awaiting the introduc-
tion Of the llfe-giving water that will
ere long be distributed over these
Idle tracts, this, one OF the many
beautiful corners Of this famous val
ley, Is sure to be the home Of large
population.
