There are u great many things be-

most important things that Is before
the people of Ontario is the need of n

the plan now is to filter the Snake

Park. Instead of going to the ex-
penbo of moving the old tank. why
not build larger tank of cement, q
little north and about to the end OF

gound. where the pressure would
be greaterg This will give a greater
supply of water and a greater pres

II was impressive and by far the most
potent and worthwhile effort that
had been made to arouse in the hearts
and minds of the people the things
that this war with the Huns means.
The effect created by the straight
forward. soldierly message the men
left was evident afterward. II was
not a message that "went in one ear
and out the other" There we're
many who admitted that they did not
sleep much Sunday night. for think

visit was an inspiration to many TO

IN the trenches and the cheerful at
uude Of the men, "over there" any
thing that a man can do over here,

As the train was going along by
the Columbia river we saw many
pretty sights. The river was on one
side and the highway on the other.
1t was paved all the way along. We
passed may falls. They seemed to
come from nowhere for they tumbled
down off the mountains and we
couldn't see the river they came
from. Among the many were Multi
nomah and the Shasta. The Shasta
falls did not have such volume of
water as the others The water was
the natural mineral water and they
also had springs out of which we had
a taste of the water
After we passed the Shasta springs
"a few miles we saw Mt Shasta, We
could see only the snow white peak
and It looked kind of blue through
the distance other noted noun
tains were the Three Sisters.
When we crossed the border into
California | thought IL Woulu ne
warm but there was not much differ
ence until we got near San Fran
cisco. We saw all kinds OF flowers
growing and oranges and lemons
ripening.
when we were going down from
Beniola to Oakland the train ran on a
big steam ferry. II took us about
twenty minutes to 20 over the bay.
The guils circled SroHnd the boat.
