An unusually large run of job work
this and the past week interfered w ith
the publication of our poetical supple-
w’ith this issue. It will be out in a
short time, however.
Our April Fool “apparition” in last

sire to see what you were looking for,

The firm of Virgin & Co. has begun
suit against the City of Ashland for full
possession of 1,000 square inches of
water under a six inch head from Ash
land creek, and damages to the extent
of $500. They sue for twice the power
required to run the mill before they
went
into possession, and about 200
more square inches of water than the
stream runs in the dry season.
If the
Mill Co. own the water, it is right that
they be given possession, and, the city
needing the water, must condemn and
take it.
The people must have the
water, flour or no flour. Snowy Butte
flour is sufficiently good,—and already
its sale is increasing.
