strong, though the water has been
creeping steadily upward.

mated at more than s2,00O,0O0.

feet that no more supplied were re-
quired here.

have followed up quite lot OF his
work and find that 80 far as | have
looked into the matter, his work has
been entirely satisfactory to all in
terested therein.
Now, in regard to his salary and
necessary expenses. The Crop I'M
provement Association agreed to
contribute five hundred dollars
per year for two years. Ofthis sum
there yet remains about two hundred
dollars for the present years work.
Many members have paid their an
nual dues and have contributed
something additional while others
have not paid.
Crops have been fairly good over
the county, better prices have pre-
vailed than last year and the out
look is not nearly so discouraging as
in the past. A good work has been
started, and is making very good
progress. Now let us get together
and keep it going by furnishing the
necessary funds to carry it forward.
Let US all pay up our dues promptly
and if possible add something to the
contributions.
Let us all work ng<ther far the good
of each and ALL
In all reasonable probability Con-
gress will appropriate more money
next year for the support Of this
movement than was appropriated
for that purpose this year. At
least the indications now are that
such will be the case. In that
event Benton county is actually the
first on the list of Washington coun-
ties in line for such assistance. Let
us keep Benton county in line and
at the head of the list. Good work
is being planned. Do your part to
help make these plans successful.
The success of this work is wholly
for your good. Come across" as
the Irishman said.
Let us all uork together for the good
ofeaeh and all.

Well, now, we expected to have a
couple of weeks more of summer weather
because we put up the office stove
last week. The last couple of years a
spell of chilly weather would come along
about this time of year and we'd put up
the stove. Then we would enjoy two
or three weeks of nice, balmy weather.
This year all signs failed-the stove
comes in right handy.
