Returning from a 1,500 mile trip Into Harney and Laka counties Pat Foley, proprietor of the Foley hotel, Is looking like a product of the sun iind wind but feeling very fine. ' He left here gome days ago In his machine to visit the interior country where he formerly worked before taking the management of the hottl In this city. While on the trip Pat attended the. great celebration at Davis creak when the first train pulltd Into that country over the railroad extension from Cal ifornia which has Just been complet ed. At the "00" ranch where Pat used to work the boys had a barbecue In commemoration of hia.vlBlt and then "It was one of those good old times," said Pat, "which causes a fellow to realize life is worth living. The boys over in Harney county are among the best in the world and tb3lr friendship Is genuine.' , As a'tr'ophy of the trip several snake klna and a live badger were brought back to La Grande. - REFERENCE TABLE READY GIVES SUMS FOR EACH UNIT OF , . WATER USED. City Record is Office Protlded With , Time-Saving Table. ; 'A material ; saving In ticie .and scratch paper has been mad possible through the compila'lon of a table of graduated totals for every conoeiva ble amount of water used by city wa ter consumers 'each month. City R v order1 C. M...Humnhre;8 and assist ant, Edgar Ellis, computed the long) table wl!h tins ''result that hereafter ! they can turn to It and find the cost for an unit of wat3r for any one month and at a moment's notice, too. Previ ously the water collection department has been forced to compute each sep arate Itsm through a long and tedious, formula but that has been alleviated. Hereafter the readings of the first o th month and the last of the month are subtracted to' determine the amount of water consumed. If it is 600 gallons the clerk runs down the column to 500 gallons and there -he will find what t'.te costs to tfoa consum er is. The table will save many Ions hours of arduous, work, each month and Is exactly accurate. Adding the total gallons and total sums of each separate Item, It is found that the variation between the minimum cpn sumption for a month and 100,000 gat Ions is but a small fraction of a cent, .making the. whole table' absolutely ac-. curate.
