BOIL DRINKING WATER
. 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.
