MODERN WATERSYSTEM
RURAL HOMES ENJOY SAME
PRIVILEGES AS CITY FOLKS.
Guy Brothers Installing Pressure De-
vice for Supplying Water for
Several Polk Ranchers.

The installation of water pressure
systems in rural homes appears to be
quite the fashion these days, giving
the country home the same convent
ence so far as water supply is con
cerned as the city cousin. With the
coming of better highways, automo-
biles and the modern devices conceiv-
ed for the convenience of the rural
resident the city dweller has nothing
on those who live in the country. Mr..
W. Wynne johnson, owner of the Sid
ney orchards Immediately adjoining
the city on the southeast, is among
the latest rural resident who pur-
poses enjoying the privilege of hav-
ing a modern water system, he having
this week awarded a contract to Guy
Brothers. The water will be pumped
into a concrete reservoir on a hill and
the water brought to the house by
gravity. Mr.. Johnson's residence is
being plumbed throughout, and high
grade fixtures will be installed.
The Guy Brothers have just com-
pleted the installation of a pressure
water system for S. w. Ediger, whose
place is just east Of Dallas, and Hen
ry Voth of the Salt Creek neighbor-
hood is another who has the convent
ence. The latter gentleman is erect
ing new fruit house, portion Of
which will be occupied by the pres
sure water system, Guy Brothers do
ing the plumbing and placing the ma
chinery. Mr. Voth is one of the pros
porous farmers of the Salt Greek
neighborhood, and is engaged largely
in the raising of fruit. He is also a
poultry fancier, and carries away nu-
merous prizes each year from the To-
cal poultry show.
The pressure water system is one
of the latest things for the betterment
of country life, and promises to be
more extensively used throughout this
section. A tank of 525 gallons capac-
ity, into which water is forced by a.
one and half H. P. Staver gasoline
engine, is used. Air is also pumped
at the same time, and the water is
delivered at the house under pressure
the same as in the city.

STRAW VOTES DEFEAT
COMMERCIAL AND LA CREOLE
CLUBS OPPOSE DEAL.
Council May Be Petitioned to Repeal
Ordinance Providing for Sub
mission of Question.

"Just to show which way the wind
blows" the Commercial club, at reg
ular meeting Wednesday night with
eighteen members present, took a
straw vote on the question about to
be presented to the people of Dallas
regarding the purchase of the water
plant. There was no arguments for
or against the proposition, but sim
pie submission of the question, with
the result that every member record
ed vote against the proposed buy. A
similar vote was taken at the La Gre
ole club the other evening, when of
the thirty-nine members voting only
three cast their ballot in favor of mu-
nicipal ownership. These organiza-
tions being composed chiefly of bus
inessmen and representative tax-pay-
ing citizens, the overwhelming oppo-
sition to the councils action in sub
mitting the matter of buying Mr.
Gates equity in this public utility
counts for something.
A prominent citizen stationed him
self at the corner of Mill and Main
streets yesterday afternoon and ques-
toned thirty-two pedestrians regard
ing their position on the question, and
Of the total number interrogated he
found but six who expressed the opin-
ion that the city should possess the
water system. These things, coupled
with the remonstrance presented to
the aldermanic body by Councilman
Hayter prior to the adoption of the
ordinance calling the special election,
shows almost beyond a question of
doubt that the measure has compara-
lively few supporters, among the men
voters of Dallas at least.
There is some prospect that the
opposition will petition the council at
its next session to repeal the ordih-
ance calling for the special election
and making other necessary arrange
ments to issue bonds in the sum of
$4,000 for the purchase of Mr..
Gates equity in the water plant, it
being believed that the proposition
will be lost at the polls and that a
needless expense will be incurred by
carrying out the program as outlined.

FIFTEEN CENTS PAID FOR HOPS
Highest Price of Year Received by
Forest Grove Growers.

The hop market has gained another
half cent in value. Fifteen cents was
paid Tuesday by the Kola Neis Hop
company for the Crabtree and Reuter-
lots, amounting to a carload, at For
est Grove. There is strong demand
for contracts, but Oregon growers de-
cline to sell at the prices offered, IL
to 121a cents. A contract for the in
stallation of an electric plant on the
hop ranch, across the river from In
dependence, of Seid Back has been
awarded to j. II. Ralston Of Albany.
The contract calls for the wiring Of
every building on the ranch and for
installation of plant that will gen
crate electricity, besides power to op-
crate the dryers.

New Prune Orchards.

H. P. Hough, who recently bought
ten acres in the Willamette Valley Or
chards tract near Crowley, has the
ground in shape and will plant it to
prunes. William Gath, who came here
last June from Virginia and bought
eight acres from the same company,
is also planting the place to prunes.
Miss Pearl bennett, trained nurse
who has been at the Dallas hospital,
owns five acres adjoining her fathers
ranch near Crowley, and is preparing
to set the tract to prunes.

.P|CKER'S SUIT DELAYED
HEARING OF 1855 PLAINTIFFS
FROM HOPFIELDS IN COURT.
Prospect of Hearing More Than 200
Witnesses Means Yet Later Trial,
Says Judge Morrow.

Oregonian: More than $50 hop
pickers in motley throng crowded
Circuit Judge Morrow's courtroom
yesterday to hear the trial of their
suit against Dorcas Bros, who, they
declare, promised them 20 days. work
in the hopfelds and failed to fulfill
the contract. There are 165 plain
tiffs in the suit, and each demands
$3.50 day for IL days. The total
amount asked is $4427.50.
The crowd was disappointed yes
terday, for the case failed to come
on for trial. Other court business
interfered, and Judge Morrow told
the hoppickers they might as well go
home and come back later. Strenu
GUS efforts of Judge Morrow to get
the attorneys in the case to settle
some of the details out of court and
avoid examination of more than 2OO
witnesses, who have been summoned,
proved futile. The defense main
tanned that the case was a manufnc-
tured one, and each one of the plain
titfs, besides numerous other persons,
should be called to the stand. In or
der to prove his case Seneca Fouts,
attorney for the 165 hoppickers, will
have to call each one of them to the
witness stand.
The complaint, which is 226 pages
long, is said to be the most volumi-
nous ever filed in the Multnomah
county circuit court. xThe hoppickers
declare that they answered an ad-
vertisement of Dorcas Bros. for 1000
pickers, and were told to go to vari-
GUS yards up the Willamette valley.
The advertisements stated that there
would be 20 days of picking at so
cents a box.

In Sympathy With Work.

Mr. Gideon Stolz, who owns and OPP
crates a bottling works in Dallas, and
whose home is in Salem, sends a sub

the present year, saying that he is in
sympathy with the clubs work and
wishing it success in its every under
taking.

More Signers Are Needed.

A petition in the form of a waver
asking for the rocking of portion of
Uglow avenue, was before the council
Monday night, but because several
signatures of property owners on that
thoroughfare were lacking the docu-
ment was not officially read. 1t is
probable, however, that this improve
ment will be made during the coming
summer.
