I'VE sold the city a part of its first
water plant, the year before. And
that transaction, as Mr.. West told
you, really was part of the bridge
deal.
Down back of the Weatherwax mill,
A. J. West, Sam Benn, J. M. Weather
wax, R. H. Evans and l, with some
others who took smaller interests in
the venture, put up plant and we

hadn't done that, the city would have
had absolutely no fire protection.
"At that time. in the late eighties
and early 'nineties, Aberdeen's only
drinking water came from Sam Benn's
system, q little stream running down
the gulch back of Pinckney's place.
Before that period we used to throw
barrel into boat and row up the
Wishkah to Alexander Young's place.
There. from a little spring Of pure,
cold water, we would fill the barrels,
get them down to our boats and row
back to town.
when the tide favored, 1t is true,
we could get water fresh enough to
cook with from the Wishkah as it
flowed through town; but that, of
course, was not fresh enough to
drink.

practically the same crowd that
formed Aberdeen's first water com.
pany built and operated the first elec-
trio lighting plant here. We fired
the boiler from refuse that came from
the Wilson mill. to make power for
our first lighting system. Like the
Heron street bridge. those water and
lighting plants were started by few
of us as private concerns, simply be-
cause the city couldn't build them.

VARIETIES Or LOYALTY

Oh. often, In a feeling manner, we
talk about the starry banner that
waves above the land; we push warm
language from our craters, insisting
bitterly that traitors should all be shot
or canned.
"Our blood" we say, wed gladly

gayly twinkle and illustrate our flag;
for this, the country that we cherish,
we'd cheerfully stand up and perish,
nor stop to chew the rag"
But when we go to blow our nickels

we to the merchant say, "Be sure TO

The homemade pickles are delic'

But things are punk-we have that
notion-unless they cross some cheap

HOW TO TELL POISON IVY.
Three.Leaf Clusters Are Sign OF
Danger In Woods.

This is the season when the boy or
girl who takes rambles in the woods
is likely to suffer real agony for days
thereafter with swollen wrists and
ankles and itching hands, all because
he or she hasn't learned to know and
avoid that common enemy, poisoned
Ivy.
And yet, the well meaning plant
has so decked itself that even the
child may know it ut sight and steer
clear of its poisonous touch.
When you see three dark green and
waxy leaves in clusters on climbing
or trailing shrub, beware. The three
leaves are the sign of danger in the
woods.
