OLD FKIEJiDS MEET.
rioncor Thrcshormrn Eujojcd Picas
ant Kennlon at One Time.
Among the iploneer threshermen In
attendance at the state meeting; last,
week was W. H. Fletcher of McMlnn
Tille, Yamhill county, who has been
operating a machine each year for
over 30 years. While here Mr, Fletch
er renewed the acquaintanceship with
an old time employe in the person of
Receiver Colon It. Eberhard of the
United States land office. A number
of years ago Mr. Fletche was the first
to introduce In his neighborhood one
of the separators with the "blower"
attachment for disposing of the straw
but txlYt'e that he employed twju
boys to "buck" It away.
One year durla? the financial de
pression staring in 1892, Mr. Fletcher
employed Rpcolver Rherhard. then a
lad in the lower school grades, to
work for him "bucking" straw, being
"six bits" per day of 12 or 13 hours.
Both remember the employment, but
Uncle Sam's present employee much
th9 more vividly.
GRIEF COMES TOMORROW
Delinquents Will Suffer Shortage of
., Water Tomorrow Morning,
There wtll be gritting and grinding
of angry teeth about tomorrow morn
ing when Assistant Water Superin
tendent Hoyt starts out 'to enforce the
water payment resolution passed by
the council. Thiti month no notices
were sent out relative to paying of
fwater rents before the tenth of the
month, and as a consequence scores
of consumers have not yet produced
the necessary dollars and cents. On
account of election matters, Mr. Hoyt
could not make the rounds today, but
he Is "off" tomorrow morning and
grief will certainly be the cry of the
hour. The dollar fine must be paid
before the wator is again turned on.
