THE TRIP ACROSS
THE BIG SAND BAR

But for the huge hesps Of tin cans
and III smelling garbage, the odOr of
which greets the nostrils. the walk
from the O.-W. K. & N. station 10 the
Underwood ferry landing would be a
pleasant one. Ii is really a trim
through the jungles and over the sands
of the desert.
The foliage Of the trees and shrubs
Is beginning to shoot forth in the low
lands along the Columbia sloughs and
more birds than in any other part of
The Hood River valley twitter among
the boughs, as they build their nests
for the coming season. The city has
constructed a board walk along the
right of way Of the sewer leading
down TO the river. ana an enjoyable
stroll is afforded those who desire to
journey to the ferry.
One does not realize the vastness of
the huge sand bar until attsmIting to
cross it. Because of the shallow water
along the edges Of the bar, it is neces-
ary TO travel TO the fer west end of the
sand heap before taking passage on
the ferry boats, and although a short
walk on the sand is pleasant, before
the pedestrian does "a mile of il, the
wish comes for a permanent wharf
nearer the city limits.

MUNICIPAL PLANT
SHOWS BIG PROFIT

u. G. Jackson, who is an exponent
of municipality owned electric plants.
points out the city Of Herkimer. N. T..
where a successful municipal plant is
owned. The following" says Mr..
jackson, sis a clipping from a Herki-
mer paper showing the figures Of the
plant there for the past year."
The annual reports of the Municipal
Commission Of Herkimer have come 10
be considered throughout the country
as the most reliable information Of any
issued on the subject of municipal
ownership of public utilities and it is
strange as il is true that Herkimer is
almost alone among municipalities able
to show profit from the operation Of
a municipal lighting plant for CONNER
cial business. The figures in the re-
port for 1913 which will be issued in a
few days in pamphlet form, continue
to show handsome profits to the Will
age; this too, in spite Of the fact that
water rates were reduced 10 per cent
last year; lighting rates 20 per cent.
these condensed figures show at a
glance what it means to community
to own its light and water systems:
Receipts from water. So, 1885 /:

299. 20: deducted for depreciation. SS.-
$50. 02, leaving net profit of S26, 349. 6S.
Included in the maintenance is the
interest on all outstanding bonds. The
cost of operating our street lights was
S5, GAL. .S2.s This amount deducted leaves
the village a profit of over $40, 600 and
in addition has had without cost its
streets amply lighted and the village
protected against fire with l52 hyd-
rants.
The reverse of this situation would
be that, if the water works as is the
case with Utica and the lighting busi
ness, as in the case of Little Falls,
were privately owned. this village
would lose its 500, 600 Of profit and 10
addition pay at least $4,000 for its
street lighting and fire hydrants be-
sides paying an individual higher rate
for both water and lights.
The present cost of the water and
lighting systems is $251, 600 of which
only S47, 500 in bonds are outstanding.
The commission, besides paying all
bonds as they mature, have now on
hands in cash $50, 600 towards proyid-
ing for extensions and the change in
our water system which will become
necessary now as the hnit of the pres
ent water supply has been reached.
During the past year 3046 feet of
water pipe extensions have been laid
and seven fire hydrants placed. There
have also been extensions of the light
ing system to the amount of $4,000
feet of wire and there is now in use
over So miles of wire in the system.
This coming year will see active work
in extending the sewer system to many
new streets. The electric lighting
plant has cost to date SS8, 600 on which
the total Indebtedness is only 800.
and it has never cost the village cent
in direct tax.

CARPENTER NOW In
FURNITURE BUSINESS

G. c. Carpenter, who owns an orch
and on the East Side, is now engaged
in the manufacture of desks in Port
land. The Pacific Coast Manufacturer
says of Mr.. Carpenters new enter
prise:
G. G. Carpenter, president of the FL
car Desk Manufacturing Company of
Portland, is the best explanation of the
success of this baby Potand industry.
He grew up in the desk business when
the Globe-Wernicke Company still
made the main line of their enormous
manufacturing plant at Cincinnati.
first shipment of ten imperial El-
ear desks went to Honolulu this month,
and they have regular trade estab
lished at Vancouver, B. c. There is
no competing factory in their line of
high-class, quarter sawed oak office
furniture this side of Chicago. When
it is considered that the freight on a
single desk in carload lots from east
ern factories is about Sc, it is no won
der they can meet competition and
leave fat. juicy margins for themselves
as well as for the dealers. Furniture
dealers in the principal cities on the
Pacific Coast, as we'll as large station
cry houses. like j. X. Gill, Company,
the Kilham Stationery & Printing CO.,
and the Powers Furniture Company,
are handling the output of this factory
with great deal of satisfaction.
The body of their three designs of
desks, made in five sizes, is constructed
of the best Eastern, Japanese and ST.
berian oak, They also make full line
in African and Mexican Mahogany.
Drawers. compartments, divisions, file
boxes and inside filings are made of
Oregon maple, cedar, ash, fir and iarch.
The veneers are of eastern blue gum
and popular. Using a large amount of
Pacific and Oriental woods, which are
cheaper here than in the eastern
states, it is no wonder they are able to
meet the tiercest competition of the
big eastern manufacturers.

county schools
THE number of eggs laid by the
female is not less than l25, and single
female may lay as many as four such
patches. The total time for the full
development of the fly from the egg is
about 10 days. This gives abundant
time for the development of from IL to
20 generations of flies in every sum-
mer. Figure what it means to destroy
