IN WATER CASE
According to the Oregon Journal,
of the 8th, confirmed by a message
received by Geo. Bernier, one of
the attorneys for the defendants, the
case of Charles C. O'Nell vs. Twohy
Bros., was reversed by the higher
court, Judge Burnett of the Supreme
Court reversing the opinion of Judge
Campbell.
The grounds upon which the ver
dict was based are not known here,
as the text of Judge Burnett's deci
sion has not been received as yet.
The case, together with a number
of others, grew out of an Pledged
Interference on the part of the de
fendant with the water that should
have been let into the plaintiff's
ditch. On account of the Inability
to got water, tho crops of the plain
tiff were damaged to a great extent.
Iu the Circuit court for Crook
County last fall, damage to the am
ount of $6,000 were awarded Mr.
O'Nell, In accordance with the de
cision of Judge Campbell, who tried
the case. The defendants Imme
diately appealed the case to the Su
preme Court.
Tho verdict by' Judge Burnett
automatically decides the rest of the
water cases on the same grounds
and against the same defendant.

NEW AIR AXI WATER
BTAXIM IX TOWN
The Inland Auto Company and La
kln Hardware Company are now in
stalling RomdYt Air and Water Sys
tems, the latest and" best thing out
for the convenience of the Automo
bile public.
Getting air the Romort way is
much easier and more convenient
than the old hose connection, which
was always in the way, and had to
be dragged around the car, from
one wheel to the other, and often
times left laying In the street. The
feature of the Romort System is a
movable arm, similiar to the arm on
a railroad water tank, from which
the air line extends. This arm can
be extended at any angle over or
around the car, and is up out of the
way when not In use.
The water hoBe on the -system Is
attached at the base of the arm, and
Is easily accessible, and distributes
water in a way very handy to the
autoist. -
These systems are for the conven
ience of the automobile public.

Gardner t Alemeter were awarded
contarcts for the four bridges nee
essary for the completion of the
Crooked River Highway the last of
the week ty the State Highway Com
mission, at a total price of aproxim
ately $66,500.
One of the bridge Is across Dry
Creek with a 40 toot span, and ia
known aa a pony truss structure.
Another of like length i across
Bear Creek and ia of the same type
of construction, while two Howe
Truss bridges across Crooked River
one on the north side of the mouth
of Bear Creek, the other just below
the Jim Cram ranch, each 120 feet
In length complete the contracts.
These bridges will provide for the
completion of the highway, and will
permit the road being opened for
traffic before the opening of the
winter season when it is so badly
needed.
The grading la already complet
ed, for the distance from Prineville
to the old Hoffman ranch and con
siderable work bas been done south
of that point.
Vehicles are able to travel the
new highway, by short detours, but
the loose condition of the grade and
recent rains have made the going
rough and slow.
For honcst-to-srood
there are but few drives in the state
mat will compare with the Crooked
River Highway which skirts the riv
ers edge at a deoth of 400 nr snn
feet below the surrounding country,
the cliffs at places come to the edge
of the water, and in other instances
Bloping more gradually to the plat
eau above.
Ground hogs in a variety of sizes
scamper across the highway and
turn to peek out at the passing mo
torists from beneath immense rock
ledges, and water fowl and various
kinds of wild life attest to the fact
that traffic has been light in that
part of the world since the coming of
civilization. 8 v

W. H. NATION
The needs of a community are re
flected in the needs of the country.
You cannot haye a country of slip
shod, poorly governed cities and
owns, and at the same time! have a
progressive country any more . than
you can have a community that 1
better than the average Of its citi
zens. it
The Chautauqua is preeminently a
community activity and no program
is quite complete without a day de
voted to self study under the direction
of a constructive critic. It is one
thing to listen to crtticlaras that offer
no remedy most any one can tear
down but it is quite different mat
ter to consult with a keen observer
who has traveled much, and carefully
studied many communities.
Just as a doctor's knowledge Is the
result of study and observation, so re
W. H. Nation's lectures the result of
many conferences with community of
ficers in every part of the United
States. ,
Mr. Nation will lecture twice on the
fifth day, constructively criticising and
counseling our audiences upon cons- '
munity problems.
