Owing to the shortage of water at Heaver creek it is now necessary to get part of the supply from the - Grande Konde river. All water needed for drinking purposes should be boiled - as a precaution against germs or con tamination. While the conditions at the river are much improved ovei for mer years, there being now little or no chance for contamination from the i FOUND meat company's plant, the city health board urges boiling of drinking wa'er ds a precautionary measure. j JOHN COLLIER, l-15-6t City Manager The bulletin ainptlst church, Cincinnati, Ohio, fornot 80 Illtl0Ii us u.slnglo wall which January 5lh. contained an Interest-1 i-emains undamaged, a city beyond ing letter from the pastor of tholthe possibility of repair or rocon- 'church, written in Belgium.
