COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Evey
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courle-Herald Reporter.
The extreme hot weather, accom
panied by the flow in the water pipes of
lukewarm Willamette juice, makes the
average citizen long for a different wa
ter supply. The water commission,
however, are using every effort to get a
new water supply, and will no doubt de
cide on a definite plan before many
months. In their semi-annual report
for the six months ending July 1st, the
nfrmation is given that no new work
has been done, and but little new work
was necessary. The net profits were
$675 05. They called attention to the
progress made in trying to secure a new
water supply, in accordance with the
intention of the $50,000 worth of bonds
voted last winter. After a preliminary
survey it was found impracticable to
bring water from the Clackamas by
gravity, as there would be only 5 1-2
feet fall at low water in a distance of 5
1 2 miles. Since then the board have
been investigating the supply of water
in springs in the vicinity o( Clarkes and
other points, with a view to bringing the
water by gravity to the reservoir. Dur
ing the coming dry weather, it will be
ascertained whether or not, the springs
mentioned together with other springs
ofpure water that can be tapped will
afford a sufficient supply. If these
springs will not afford a sufficient sup
ply, it is probable that the commission
will put in a filtering plant of one mil
lion gallon capacity in 24 hours. The
filtering plan submitted, guarantees ab
solute purity and clearness of 08 per
cent.
Sam Jones is a big seccess in drawing
crowds and he "slays there and gets
there." However, it shakes one's
faith in Christianity after hearing his
slangy; at times almost indecent har
angue. He is a man that is not doing
the world any good. Sam is out for the
stuff and gets there. He does not carry
out the high Chautauqua idea in the
least. After a contract had been signed,
pealed and delivered with the Ohautai:
qua people, he wanted to raise the price
on them. His manager travels with
him. But he Is a crowd getter.

William Barlow, of Barlow, who was
in town Monday, says that he will have
200 tons of good quality hay this season,
but does not know where he will get a
market for it. It only brings 3 per ton
now, costs 2 per ton to bale It. and
demand at this time is very slow. Mr.
Barlow has considerable of last year's
crop left over, and is not at all enthuBi-
astio over the prospects of gelll imw .
a profitable figure. He says that the
building of motor lines has lessened the
use of horses to such an extent, that
the demand for bay has fallen off enos
mously. Mr. Barlow says that fruit is
the best crop that can be grown here,
when the season is favorable. LaBt year
he evaporated 3,000 boxes of apples,
which brought in a revenue of MM.
This season, however, the crop is short.
Casper Weismantle, of Macksburg,
says that crops are all right, but if this
