: CLEANLINESS
J As milk is the natural food for the
young, containing within itself' all
the requirements of the body, and
J as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp-
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer,' and espec-
ially the young, ' depend to a
great extent upon those who handle
2 the milk. And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
J from the cow. Every consumer
should visit the place from whence
. ha gets his milk (no matter if it is
5 surrounded by a high board - fence) .
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a
J food for the baby.

poms ON WATER QUESTION
Continued from page 1
will say that his villification is condemned
by the staunchest supporters of the
Springs Proposition. '
Granting that the springs have a flow
of 150,000 gallons of water a day it is
till insufficient for La Grande. The
most feasible and and des,rable water
supply for La Grande is Beaver creek,
from which, through an 8 inch pipe, a
discharge of 800,000 gallons a day can
be obtained for about $60,000.00, the
interest on which will not amount to as
much as you pay for fuel to run your
pumps.
it is endeavored by every means to
make the people believe that our con
sumption is only about 60.000, to 70.000
gallons a day, claiming that the pumps,
represented by there makers to throw
800000, gallons a day. will only throw
25 of their tested capacity, and that
they are only run 8 hours a day.
The city's bills for pumping show dif
ferent, else you are paying for more
pumping than you get, and the actual
measurements on the resrvoir (which by
the way were not denied) show that we
are using about what the pumps should
be throwing. ,
I could abuse the water superintendent
as well as he could me, but abuse isn't
argument, and accomplishes nothing.

GOOD WATER A NECESSITY '
Editor Observor: - ..
I desire to reply to the "Another
Water Article" signed by Clyde R. Seitz.
1 can't believe and do not believe that
any other person who visited . these
springs during the last -summer agrees
with Mr. Seitz. I visited these, springs
last September, just at the time , the
power house was on the Mill Canyon
road, I measured the flow with a Ave
gallon can. At the Falk spring, it took
six seconds to fill the same. I am sat
isfied that H. C. Oilman's statements re
garding the flow of this spring is correct,
besides the water is clear, cold and
wholesome and a regular health producer.
Besides there is the city council,- tax
payers and successful business men,' and
credit is due them that they investigated
the springs, certainly without selfish' mo
t'ves except that they wanted pure drink
ing water themselves as well as the rest
of the people, besides it is a self paying
business. I believe four-fifths- of the
votes will be cast in favor of bonds to
to get pure spring water. I here is no
danger that the council will throw the
monsy away. If the council can't buy
t iese springs at a reasonable figure they
don't have too. I can only eee at present
three parties who are benefited by poor
water, the doctors, the drugstores and
the undertakers, and they are too fair
minded to see their neighbors killed off.
Ail ncn people claim that health is
above money, and the poor man has
nothing but his health, and we all know
that pure air, water and food are the
great features to health, There is an
other business that loses by really good
water, that is the brewery, because peo
pie drink less beer. . But we need not
worry about him, he is too broad minded.

WATER LITIGATION. y '
Editor Observor: -'
omc3 ma water question has arisen
there seems to be current a report that
litigation once arose wherein what is
known as "Old Town" won out in the
title to Mill Creek, and I have been asked
a number of times as to its correctness.
There never was such suits in the courts.
In 188;) Curtis brought suit airninsfc ha
Granda Water Co. (composed of the
McCannei's) as to the latter's right to di
vert about all of said stream, but the
latter won in both the Circuit and Su
