HIE WATER QUESTION
The question of a water supply
for this city is beginning to
receive seiious consideration
at the hands of the people of this
city, and it is well that it should.
It is a well known fact that the
present supply is not sufficient
to meet the demand, and the de
mand it becoming greater as the
city increases in eize. The city
council has appropriated a small
sum with which to test on6 or
two of the springs above t h rirv
and it is just possible that a
water supply may be discovered
there. La Grande has reached
the stage where no very limited
source will be sufficient to moot
its requirments. As the city ujea
in the neighbor of half a million
gallons of water daily, when the
city undertakes to increase its
water supply it must provide at
least that amount, and due con
sideration should be accorded
the fact La Grande is bound to
grow. ,
TRUTH STRANGER THAN
FICTION
If a novelist were to weave in
to his story the plot that has
ust been Unfolded in the court
at Rome, a majority of readers
would doubtless pronounce the
tale thrilling and sensational,
but implausible. Many would
even declare its incidents impos
sible.
An Italian count employed as
is valet a man closely resembl
ing himself. The understudy
was sent to public and private
functions in his master's stead,
while the count pursued his
hobby, which 'seems to have
been the same as that of the un-
ortunate French king, Louis
XVI.
While the master played lock
smith, the valet impersonated
him in society, Here he met
his master's wife, from whom
the count had for some time
bean estrauged . The countess,
misled by the resemblence, was
deeply gratified by the unexpect
ed attention paid to her by the
man she deemed to be her
husband. The valet proved
himself a villian, an exposure
followed, and the deceived
countess committed suicide.
Here, indeed, are the essentials
for a novel of the d'Annunsio
type.
Certain resemblances in this
story to the plot of Mrs Thurs
ton's brilliant and popular recent
English novel, "The Masqutr
ader," as it is called in this
country, will occur to alrieadors
of fiction. Iu the English story,
however, tbe denouement avoids
the unpleasant and tragic feat
ures of this Italian scandal.
Nevertheless, the latter furnishes
a startling commentary upon
the certainty of those critics who
declared that such an exchange
of personalities as the Euglieh
novelist has - described was
wholly fanciful and could never
lake place in real life.
The threshing machines that
have begun work all report good
yields, and it is evident that the
million bushel mark will be
rerched this season and then
some to spare. A . million bu
shel crop means much to this
valley and to this town. To
gether with the good crop and
apparent good prices Union
county will be one of the most
prosperous counties in the state
A million bushels means that
every mill in the valley will run
to its full capacity. With the
splendid whe.it showing and
good heet indications there is
every reason to look forward to
a banner year for each and every
citizen in this county.
