states he believes that this is one OIL
the most important things whiea can
be done for White Pine county. be
cause the transcontinental tourists
are men of wealth and represent
large moneyed interests. That their
passage through the county and the
inspection which they necessarily
must make of our resources. is bound
to result in bringing aggregations o.
capital into the county for invest
ment.
He says, as a result of his efforts,
that Ely is recognized as al
important point on the through lines
between the east and San Francisco.
and the east and Los Angeles. The
transcontinental automobile map Of
a year ago showed Ely merely as al
incident on the Los Angeles branch
of the main line then running north
of the Lake. Through Mr.. Hoag's
efforts the line north of the Lake IS
practically abandoned and the route
south of the Lake is recognized as
the most feasible route for crossing
what is known as the desert country.
During the entire season of 1871
This makes Ely the junction point
for northern and southern California.
only about twelve ears passed
through Ely. Already this year,
owing to Mr.. Hoag's efforts, there
have been over sixty ears through
Ely. carrying about two hundred and
fifty people.
Mr.. Hoag states that this travel
will be increased in ever greater
proportion during the coming rear
and in 1914, and 1915, ears by the
thousands may be expected through
here. provided our roads can be put
in such shape as I o make the route
attractive.
Through his efforts a great deal
of the transcontinental routes have
been signboarded and il Is his inten-
ton TO complete the work of sign
boarding all roads in the county.
Mr.. Hoag states he does not enter
this campaign for a desire of any pc
Office. but for the sole purpose
of securing better roads in the
county for local and through travel

missioner Forwards Instruct

Among other things which have
come under the observation of the
Oregon State Dairy and Food Commits
sioner is the violation of the law, by
marketing country made butter ia
plain wrappers. and in some instances
selling shortsweig hts in squares. rolls
aud prints. Recently the grocery and
produce dealers in Athena and other
towns and cities of the state have re-
ceived the November Bulletin, issued
by the Commissioner. which among
other things, deals with the market
ing Of country butter.
The fact is developed that the deal
er who retails the butter not marketed
according to the law under the Dairy
aud Food Act, is just as liable to pros
ecution as the maker who sells the
cutter to him. The following is found
on page four of the Bulletin:
"Miswrapped or Misbranded Country
Butter.
"We desire to warn country butter
makers and dealers that is is unlawful
to sell butter in plain wrappers. The
law provides that all butter cut into

DEEP WELL FOR
WATER SYSTEM
CITY COUNCIL LETS CONTRACT
FOR DRILLING OPERATIONS.
Reservoir Now Overlooking
With Good Water--Well To
Go at Least $50 Feet.

j The City of Athena has entered
into contract with Miller 81 Payne,
drillers to bore an eight inch hole in
the tottom Of the excavation at the
source OF water supply of the city q
gravity water system. The contract
was entered into Wednesday afternot u
following special meeting held ty
the council Tuesday evening, at
which time the matter was discussed.
| By the terms of the contract, Miller
& Payne are 70 drill an eight inch
hole for a distance of 100 feet at $4. SO
per foot or 200 feet at the same rate
per foot the third 100 fest with a sis
inch hole at $s. so per foot or four
iucb hole at $500 per foot, 80 cents
per foot to be added for any addition
al depth.
The city reserves the right to dis
continue drilling any time after the
first 100 feet, though should drilling
be stopped any time 10 the first 100
feet. Miller and & Payne are to Ee
paid for the full 100 feet at the con-
tract price.
The council believes there is an
abundance of water for the city q
needs under present conditions, from
the fact that the water coming from
the exoavated well and tunnel with
the addition Of the gravity flow from
the spiings is now sufficient to supply
the town, with the reservoir overflow
ing portion of the time. but to pro-
vide against dry seasons, the drilling
Of deep we'll has been undertaken.
At Tuesday nights meeting the
water question was discussed from
every angle. The concensus of opin-
ion prevailed with the members of
the council, who had visited the we'll
during the day, that all water posi-
BILE had been secured by the process
Of blasting in the tunnels, and while
all were satisfied with the result 10
point of supply secured for the amount
of money expended, it was unanimous
ly decided to enter into contract for
drilling.
The drilling machine is now located
for work. The drill will begin pound
ing in the bottom of the present shaft
which is 45 or 60 feet below the sur
face. It is the telief that no ourbing
except that used to keep the sur
face out and to steady the drill, will
be needed, for the reason that the
present excavation is we'll below the
stratum of shale. which. according to
MIR. Miller is the prime cause for use
of curbing when drilling in this sec
ton. the shale crumbling into the
drill hole and interfering with the
drill.

You temper your song with the beauty
OF the pity Christ hath shown.
And sing one verse for the voiceless
And yet ere the song be done,

And verse for the sightless one.
