York. 1t was his within to have each
morning before breakfast q drink Of
cold water fresh from the spring near
the house.
One very rainy morning the pitcher
was not in its usual place. and he ask
ed the waitress why 1t was missing.
"Why. Mr.. Claflin.' she said. lit was
raining 80 hard and is so muddy that
I was afraid If I went after the water
should be too soiled to wait on the
table. asked Michael to get it for
me, but he said it was his business to
look after the horses and carriages, not
to run errands."
"Oh" said Mr. Claflin thoughtfully.
Perhaps he is right. Ella. Please tell

Ten minutes later, with much tram.

sary that all remittances be on
hand prior to March fst. 1918.


A statement of your taxes may
be had by writing to this office
at any time. Due to the fact that
the majority of tax payers pay
their taxes the last week in Feb
ruary. would suggest that if
convenient. pay taxes sooner to
avoid the rush the last week. It is
impossible to get out the receipts
to those who remit the last few
days and is necessary for them
to wait for their receipts until we
have caught up with our work.
Remember that we do not take
township warrants of any de-
scription in payment of taxes. All
warrants sent to this office will
be returned.

But, dressed in his best suit, he had

their hostess served refreshments he
began to feel glad that he had come.
When 1t came time to leave he held
out his hand. saying G;llautly:

was beaming her approval. he added

is certainly fitting and appropriate to
commemorate the names Of old pic-
neers when opportunity offers.
Among the earliest of Umatilla
county's pioneer settlers were the
Rieths-four brothers and two sisters:
Jacob, Eugene, Louis and Joseph,
Mary and Julia, who settled at the
mouth of Birch creek.
Eugene, Louis and julia are still liv-
ing, Eugene and Louis residing some
where in the state of Washington and
Julia (now Mrs. Curran) residing at
North Yakima, Wash. Joseph died
on the ranch in the spring of 1859.
Jake died in Tacoma a few years ago,
and Mary, the late Mrs. Tanning, died
in Pendleton. Jake and Joe were
with the famous Bonner party, who
were lost in crossing the plains and
settled at the mouth of the creek
about 1852, the others coming later
In the early history of Umatilla
county the Rieths were among the
foremost and most highly respected
citizens of the county, and have al
ways been held In the highest esteem,
wherever known. Instead of Rieth's
ranch it is now the city of Rieth.
Good! LOT LIVERMORE.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION

~ HE business condition of
VI the country is set forth in
the following from the
last financial review by Henry
Clews:
Home conditions affecting
the market are generally en-
couraging. Trade and indus
try are active, and the none
tary situation remains satisfac-
tory. Railroads are reporting
large earnings. The steel trade
shows no abatement of activity.
Railroads are still placing lib
eral orders for rails and equip
ment, and the outlook is for a
further continuance of muni-
ton orders; immense quanti-
ties of the latter now being
shipped abroad. Speculative
transactions are being conduct
ed with special care, also with
a close regard for daily events.
For the better class of invest
ment securities there is still a
good demand. Funds are
abundant. The sale of $40,-
100000 fifty-year 412%5 New
York City bonds was entirely
successful, Comptroller Prem
dergast stating that the price,
$1O2.617, was the highest on
record for New York City
bonds paying that rate. The
Ififteen-year 4H% bonds
brought $101.41711. The
number of bidders was small,
which is not surprising in view
OF the enormous amount of
bonds Of various classes which
have been issued during the
past twelve months. The break
in the market which came in
the middle of the week was due
to President Wilson's note to
Germany and reluctance to
carry stocks over the Good Fri
day holiday.
