UNDERWOOD CITIZENS
PLAN WATER SYSTEM

Finding it difficult to dig wells in
the region because of the many slant
ing boulders underlying the surface of
the region, the citizens of Underwood
plan on beginning work soon on a
water system to supply the homes of
the entire vicinity. They have filed
on the water of Moss Creek for this
purpose. The expense of laying mains
will be taken care Of by bond issue.
However. some of the residents will
contribute cash and the issue will not
need to be large one.
In a number of places the homes of
the orchardists will be at an altitude
too high to be furnished by the gravity
flow. A unique system of hydraulic
rams will be used to force the water to
their homes. L. G. Westfall, who was
instrumental in securing the water
system states that the waste water
from the rams will be piped in;such
manner as to be returned to the main
and thus will supply consumers at
lower level.
A fund has already been provided
for preliminary work and a hydraulic
engineer will soon be on the ground to
make surveys.

RAILROAD SIGHTS
LOCAL LUMBER Mills

Although the lumber mills of the
Stanley-Smith Co. and the Oregon
Lumber Co. are within a few miles of
Wyeth, where the creosoting plant of
the O.-W. r. & N. system is located,
the managements of the companies
declare that they have received no
share of the large order recently placed
with northern mills for lumber.
1--WE are decidedly disappointed that
we did not receive a share of the busi-
ness" says Chas. I. Early. manager
of'the Oregon Lumber Co. The same
expression was conveyed by an express
sion of James E. Robertson, of the
Stanley-Smith.
According to these gentlemen, the
mills of the Upper Columbia in Oregon
fail to receive their portion of the
business of the Hartman system,
when the returns the railroad from the
large freight shipments of the mills
are taken into consideration.

The practicability of motor truck
transportation through the valley,
when entered into as a business enter
prise, has been proven by the White
Motor Truck Co., the big white ma
chine of which may be seen daily car
rying into all parts of the valley tons
of feed, supplies and building material.
The truck has a five ton capacity and
at times, when loaded with lighter
materials, has the freight stacked
more than 10 feet high on its rack.
Not since the company began opera
tion in the early spring has the big
car given the least bit of trouble, which
proves the good points of the White
| car.
The truck hauls freight to all parts
of the community but makes specially
of long hauig. Many thousand apple
boxes have been delivered with il
throughout the valley. Last week g

was deliverded to the Fots Lumber Co

Origin of the Mosauito

In ancient times there lived giant, cruel and blood.thirsty. His passion was to kill men, drink their blood and eat their hearts. Many men had tried to kill the giant, but were unable to do so. At last, however, man pretended to be dead and laid down on his blan- ket, The giant came along and saw him. He felt the mans flesh and saw that he was still warm. Then he began to gloat over him and say: "l will eat his heart and drink his blood" So he lifted up the man, who allowed his head to hang down as if he were dead, and carrying him into his house, laid bim down and then went on some errand. Immediately the man jumped up and seized bow and arrow. Just then the son of the giant came in, and he point ed the arrow at the boy's head and asked him where his fathers heart was, threatening to kill him if he did not tell. The boy answered that his fathers heart was in his heel. Just then the giant came in and the man shot the ar row through his heel. Just as the giant was dying he said, "Phough you burn me (the old way of dis osing of the dead), will still eat you." After the giant was dead the body was ere mated. Then the man ill derision took the ashes of the dead giant and threw it to the wind. But each particle of the ashes became a mosquito.-Sitka Thlinget.

Congressman Crumpacker was talk. ing entertainingly the other day about a politician, now gone to his reward, who was at one time the leading drunkard of Valparaiso, Ind, where Crumpacker lives.
 One afternoon this earnest druukard met on the street al evangelist who was holding series of meetings in the town.
 "My friend, do you drink?" inquired the reVivalist.
 The other man stared at him a mo- ment and then said;
 "Is it just an idle question or an in. vitatioDP"
 On another occasion, the same man, having been asked to share libation remarked;
 "There are 1000 reasons why l shouldn't take a drink--but 1 can't think of blamed one of 'em."
 Once a friend boasted: "It's very sel. dom that l ever drink anything" and our hero said: "Oh, it's frequently that ! ever do, either"
