Now that it Is a fact after so many
obstacles were overcome, we can hard
ly believe that we are the possessors
of one of the finest water systems in

WATER RATES.
The city council is considering the
writer of readjustment of wa.. rates.
Tie water committee held an Infor
mal session a few days agj looking
ocr the rates of other cities Hn-1 one-
aue1 all are of the opinion that our
present rates are too high, based up-'
on gravity system, which we now
possess. This city is rapidly becom
ing metered, which experience has
proven to be the ouly Just way where
by the consumer pays exactly for the
service obtained. One member of the
committee stated that he believed that
the basic rate to those using meter
would be reduced materially and that
the rate for Irrigation would be more
than cut in the middle. The present
rate of 25 cents per thousand gallons
of water for Irrisatlon purposes have
been outrageous for years even under
a pumping system. It Is probable that
the new rate will be around the 10
cents per thousand gallons. This will
permit of many beautiful yards that
do not now exist This will mean the
extension of the water system. People
will want water, will want to beautify
their homes when they can afford to
do so.
A few more years like the past two
and we will be warranted in saying
that the climatic conditions in Oregon
are changing. Think of the snow last
week falling to a depth of 16 inches
In Salem, 9 inches In Portland, 10 In
Tacoma, 12 at Corvallis, 8 In Eugene
and about 4 in the Grande Ronde val
ley. Lant year, if you remember, nbout
the same proportions were reported.
If you hove not partaken of the
Christmas spirit just visit some of
Tarlous Htoies lu the city and it will
certHlnly awaken the latent spark.
The assortment to be found on every
hand would le a credit to a city of
many tluua our population.

65 miles per hour shortly after last
midnight, when she ran down the
slower Chicago-Boston train In a
blinding Bnow flurry which was filling

a car ahead, when the crash came.
There are none of the Injured that
will die. it is thought.
