LAST WEEKS SNOW
IS OF MUCH VALUE
Wheat Country is Largely Benefited
by the Past Weeks Moisture.
Crop Prospects Bright

Last weeks snow, in spite of the
fact of it's swift melting, did no
damage in this valley. On the con-
trary, owing to the condition of the
ground, practically all Of it was
absorbed, except in the sleeper
portions of the Horse Heaven. In
the hills some two feet of snow was
reported, the melting of which has
caused the winter wheat to make an
exceptionally fine ssand. Through
out the valley, this moisture will be
of immense value in the coming
season. Wheat prospects were never
better in the history of the country.
In the city, the drainage of the
streets was exceptional, the culverts
at tue street corners easily taking
off the ponds that have gathered in
former times. These drains will be
included in the city's sewer system,
which will be under way within the
next thirty days.

Such a performance will do much
to advertise our city and give it the

every good citizen.

CITY QUARTERS
TO Be MOVED
Hall in Emigh Block Rented -P.
P. & L. Co. will Build Larger
Pumping Plant-Elis Sticks

The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany petitioned the city council,
Tuesday night, for permission to
change the location of the pumping
plant for the city water. Their
present plant il IN adequate to supply
the city's needs economically, and
a larger plant is desired. The men,
bers of the council were taken to the
present and proposed sites on the
river Thursday morning and will
make their report at the next meet
ing.
The Emigh hall was rented for a
year and the city's headquarters
will be in that building, commence
ing the first of the ensuing month.
A rental of S35 a month was the
price agreed upon, which is S. a
month less than is being paid for
their present location. In the new
place water and light will be fur
nished and screens and awnings
supplied. An office for the city
clerk and engineer is included in
the rental price. Some new furni-
ture will be put in the new hall,
which will be rallied off, so that
spectators will not annoy council
men by breathing down their necks.
Owing to the lack of an appro-
priation for the office of street COM
missioner in 1912 levy, that office
will likely be combined with the
police force again this year, tho the
council plans much street improve
ment for the coming year. And in
connection with the police depart
ment the council again refused to
confirm the appointment of C. C.
Holmes to succeed E. D. Ellis as
chief. w. A. Morain whose name
was mentioned for the same pos
ition, was also turned down.
Councilman Sheppard, as we'll as
several other members of the coun-
Gil, expressed the opinion that the
sewers should be placed in the alleys
instead of the streets. The fact
that the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany had their water mains laid in
the alleys, appears to be the only
reason the former council had in
making their decision to use the
streets. The engineer will be asked
to make suggestions relative to the
change, and, if the plan is feasible,
the sewers will likely be laid in the
alleys where they belong.
The next meeting will be held in
the new hall, February End, at
which time the remonstrances in
the matter of improvement District
No. l, will be heard.

LUCKY" FIRE

A small blaze was discovered in
the rear of the basement of Stewart
& Reser's store Tuesday evening
which, had it started later at night,
when the building was deserted,
surely would have developed into a
destructive fire.
The smoke was detected by the
band boys who were at practice on
the second floor. An alarm was
turned in and the fire department
had a line of hose laid by the time
Mr.. Stewart reached the store from
his house, but couple Of pals OF
water soon squelched the danger.
An explosion of gas in the fire
box of the boiler is supposed to have
blown the door open and scattered
live Goals among some waste paper
on the boiler room floor. This had
spread to the door casing and into
some straw-packed merchandise
close by. The damage was trifiing.

ONE OF WORLDS CHOSEN MEN
Great French Scientist Fabre Dying
of Hunger and Neglect.

New York, July 25.-According to
dispatches published here to-day
Henri Fabre, a noted French Loet
and scientist, whom Victor Hugo
described as the insects homer" is
dying Of hunger in Provence, neg
lected and well-nigh forgotten by
his beloved France. Fabre is SS
years old. He has been nearly
sightless for some time, it is said.
Darwin called Fabre lone of the
greatest Of the worlds chosen men,"
The Frenchman devoted his life to
the study of insects and their hab-
It's, but he was not a scientist alone,
for he had the soul of a poet. He
spent weeks, months, even years in
minutely observing the habits of in
sects. The results of these observa-
tions he combined, not in mere text
books, but in prose OF majestic SIM
plicity which reads like poem of
nature. i has been observed that
1t was Fabre who rendered possible
such works as Maeterlinck' Life of
the Bee" and Rostand's "Chante-
cler." Where others dissected, he
observed and learned the secrets of
the insects.

NOVEL POST OFFiCE RULING.
Stop General Delivery Flirtatlons and
CIandcstine Correspondence.

Washington, July 24.-Approving
individual action taken by postmas-
ters of many large cities, Postmaster
General Hitchcock has issued a gen.
eral order which has the avowed
purpose OF checking the use Of gene
raj delivery windows for carrying on
flirtations and clandestine corres-
pondence. Amy persons who wish
mail at general delivery windows
instead Of home addresses may here
after be required to give their rea-
sons in writing.
Many complaints have been re-
ceived by the post Office department
that service at general delivery win
dows was being improperly used
by minors, particularly young girls
and by residents ordinarily served
by mail carriers.
Under the postal regulations post
masters may require all persons to
furnish in writing their names and
addresses and statements OF their
reasons for prcferring to receive
their mail at the general delivery.
In addition, minors may be required
to furnish the names Of their par
ents in order that they may be noti-
fed and have an opportunity to con-
troll the delivery OF mail to their
children.
Postmasters at Offices not having
city carrier service may notify tho
parents Of minors in all instances
where 1t appears to them that the
minors are using the general deliv-
cry to obtain mail under objection
able conditions.
Postmaster General hitchcock di-
rects all postmasters to enforce the
regulations strictly and impartially.
