Athena is not . the only , town is the county thai has been called otf to increase its water supply. Pendleton resorts to 1 the use of river water, which is so impregnated with malaria germs, that the health officer gives instructions to boil it before using for domestic pur poses. Numerous cases of typhoid fever would indicate that the officer's instruct ions had not been stringently carried Jnto effect. ' Pine creek has about dried up, with the result that Weston finds her supply cut short. Her city fountain, which is supplied with water from a real spring, is a stationary affair and can not be transported from house to house. Weston finds it's another case of "dig up," antf.iier city 3adshave '"already taken action. They have been active on previous occasions,' It beats the band, hpw those mountain springs do dry up evesy season when water is most needed, Milton too, well Milten don't know whether to increase her water supply or not. Some think she should, while others think she shouldn't. The latter think is generally tliunk by the property owner. As he, has i been boss over in Milton town and had things his own way. to the extent- that another, town has sprung up in his door yard, it is a ques tion whether Milton will secure more water or. not, notwithstanding the Eagle suggests that an increase would be a good thing for the town. ,v" '.- KuBsell Sage, who kept his eighty seventh birthday by working at his office as usual, has a genius for long life, busi ness and -minding his own business. A money-lender is not apt to be a popular afearactor. ' Mr. Sage docs not seek to bo popular. ' He seeks to loan his monoy ut the best advantage. 'Business" is. his lea9ure;.and his devotion to that pleas- u to soecua to give, him ample satisfaction. The preachera of the "gospel of relaxa tion'' must "look" at 'him' with'averted (yes. His is a vigorous and sound old Hge, attained in the teeth of their rules, lie has not diversified his pursuits, lie cures for no expensive toys and diver sions, He makes money for the sake of imiking it.: He does nob make it to spend or give it away.1 His tastes are '. imple as his aim is simple A man who docs what he wants to and keeps on do ngit with undiminished-delight is an artist in living, however narrow and un tttractrVe his scheme of life may - seem io the majority.1 ' 4 ,; ' ' Thus farthis season the Pacific nerth test has been exceptionally fortunate, in iseapiog large .forest flres. s S-'his im muuity is due in part to generous rains in July, and possibly to greater care . by people in the forests, resulting from an awakening public interest in the subject tif forest preservation. 'The ;'datigtr 'point, however,' has "hot been ' paBd. Isdcml the real dungor is now at lirmd. Tlio .foteats Everywhere are dry from tho ituuiuier snn, the woods are tilled vith ciuipers and herders and the need ot ex triiino cautipuwas never greater. It is the duty of every one in the. forest to exercise the greatest cure in . extinguish ing camp fires, and to put ' out i every euioldering fire he may discover on his tramps through the mountains. The thought that this slight effort may be he means of saving thousands of dollars worth of wealth, and possibly of pre venting disaster to home and life, should lie adequate compensation for the; slight labor required.

" Many farms in the Athena neighbor hood are yielding from 45 to CO bushels per acre, while the average field is mak ing returns that ranks from 80 bushels Fe 60-bushel Drops will be report 1 tr.,y froui Athena this season, a fact -,' i,uce to be noted in connection ir.;Uj by other dietricU to v.ii Ai.u?pa wheat pndchi-n ; ;, . .uwiu in ther I Ka.Htu'i. ., A !

At the pres ent time two of these big aggregations ar exhibiting in ..the northwests One was at Walla Valla yesterday, and not withstanding the fact that it exhibited there last year, the same large crowd of people went over to "see the elephant." The other (how. is billed, to. appear in Athena on the 28th and the same large crowds will again floek to "seethe ele phant." Since the days when P. T. Bar num popularized the American circus in connection with the Roman hippodrome public interest and favor seem to have increased and not abated with lapse of years. The modern circus id manner of enlertainincntj' jiasjproven itself to be a success. But two sales of wheat have reported so far tin's season in Athena. One small lot went fof 66? jc, and a 15,000 bushel lot of old wheat was soli at 70c per bushel. These are to be ' considered good opening prices ef a new market the inference being that good, stiff prices will continue to be offered. A correspondent asserts that the races tor America's cup are without vrlue to shipbuilding or ... practical seamanship because the type of vessel developed by them is useless for anything save to get over a known course in the shortest possible time.
