That the wheat farmers of
Eastern Oregon do not spend all

is indicated by figures supplied

of $98,000 have been furnished

the other wheat counties have
taken nearly as many. The

Cheaper Water Rates
By virtue of a ruling of tho
Railways Commission, St. Johns
will enjoy lower water rates. In
an order handed down last Satur
day, the rates will be materially
reduced for some time at least.
While in some particulars the
ruling is not quite clear to the
average mind, yet it is apparent
, that quite 0 1 ttio saving win no
" sureu 10 inu wuim- imiruns.
Those who have heretofore been
1 paying, i.uy per mount ior
1 water, in oruinary cases win get
the same service for 90 cents.
Those who have been paying the
two dollar rate will got the same
service for $1.(1!), although in
both cases more may bo collect
ed if an unusual number of fau
cets arc used. Rates for sprinkl
ing bavo been reduced to one
dollar per month. Where met
ers are installed for domestic
use a minimum charge of $1.40
is allowed. The ruling carries
with it a rebate for all who have
paid in excess of the now rates
since February of last year.
While the rates are not neany
so low as the city council had
attempted to establish some
time ago, yet they represent
quite a saving. Attorneys
Stroud nnd Gatzmyer represent
ed the city before the Commis
sion, and it was through the ac
tivity of the former that dellnite
- - - - - - - - - -- --- ,
action was first taken toward se
, curing mwur ruw.
While the new rates may not
bo as low as some have expect
I cd, yet it was as much us the
I Commission found to be justi
fiable at the present time, taking
' into consideration all circtim
! stances connected with the busi
1 ness. Tho Commission was in
possession of nil the facts, and
it is presumed that the new rates
are based entirely upon a lair
and equitable basis, both 111 re
gard to the patrons and tho
water company as well. Twen
ty days time is given to the com
pany to adjust itself to the new
conditions.
Time to Clean Up
Get pusy on cluiiiilng up your
premises. April 20th is the day
designated for removal of all debris,
ami It is import mcnt that all take-
up the mutter in time aim clean the
premises of all accumulations of tin
cans, and all other rubbish. Get
it piled up neatly near the curb in
Imnels or boxes. A thorough clean
ing up will do more toward exter
minating flies than all the swatting
that can be done. Following are n
few rules that might well be ob
served in this connection:
Aim to make every day n clean
