00 CAN WALK HOW. THE SCENE WHEN THE LITTLE ARMOUR CHILD TOOK ITS . . FIRST STEPS. " Bloodless Sureerv and its Master Originator in a Palatial Home . "I Can be Like Other Girls Now" Other - News. Chicago, April 16. With stroke of his pocket-knife Dr. Lo reoz today severed the bandag s in closing the plaster cast about the body of Lolita Armour. By a deft manipulation he straightened out the imprisoned right leg and then lifting the child on her feet, he took a position some twenty feet away and said: "Now walk to ine, my child." The plucky little one walk ed the distance in a natural man ner, but with a slight limp. The big surgeon seized her in his arms, and patting her on the head, said: ''You ara a brave little girl." "She is cured," he is announced, "and will be all right as toon as ehe obtains full control of her leg, This comes by use." Neither father nor mofher wa? at home when the climax of the fim oas operation came. They did not expect the plaster cast would be re" moved until tomorrow. A visit from Dr. Lorenz was "xpected after luncheon, but the Vienna healer had other views. After he had eat en breakfast in the Auditorium he hailed a cab and was driven to the Armour home, No. 3724 Michigan boulevard. A warm, gleeful, childish wel come was extended to him by his little patient, w"ho was hobbling about in the ball. He instantly began a chat with the little girl, asking her about her Southern trip. He pronounced her physical condi tion good. "You are coming now to make me walk," she said. "Will I walk like the little girls who go by to school? I see them, , and I want 10 be like them." "You shall be like them, my child," he replied. Dr. Lorenz then took command of the household, tservants.were instructed to g11 up J. Ogden Armour and Mrs. Armour and tell them to return home im mediately. A couch was moved in to the nursery and upon this the small patient was placed. The sur geon critically examined the con dition of the plaster cast he placed on her hip aod leg October 14, six months and two days ago. Slowly He drew forth a penknife, and cut something that almost caused the cast to fall apart. With a few quick motions he released the leg from its prison. A few minutes of examin ation followed, then the surgeon's face lighted op. The little one, for whose welfare he had twice crossed the ocean, was healed. With a searching glance at the leg .and a gentle manipulation of the child's hip Dr. Lorenz turned to the nurse and said: "It's all I expected it would be. She can walk a little now." The small pa tient was tenderly lifted to the floor and walked, for the first time in her life, just as other children do. An hour later, after taking step by step at a time to accustom herself to control of the, leg, .she walked a-luncheon for Dr. Lorenz. By this time Mrs. Armour: had returned. The moment she enter ad she was told the good news. Lo lita walked as rapidly as she could toward her mother, shouting: "Oh, mamma, see! I can walk now. It aarts a little, but I am happy, nam ma." Mrs. Armour was overcome by amotion, and, catching her little ine in a loving embrace, smothered er with kisses. Mrs. Armour could ot keep back the tears, so Dr. Lo- enz took a little stroll through the louse, leaving mother, daughter and lurse alone. Saon Mr. Armour ap peared, and the party sat down to uucneon. It was a happy house- old and a joyous luncheon.

Holgate . .ATTORNEY AT LAW JUSTICE OF THE PEACE Water, water, water. the theme discussed at a special meeting of the Corvallis city coun cil Tuesday evening The electric lights also came in for a share of consideration. Various phases of both matters were talked about Concerning water, two important changes were made in the lately adopted plans. One of these is the addition of a section asking for bids for a gravity system, with Rock Creek as the source of supply, the bid to be upon a basis of fifty year's franchise. The other change is the limiting of a franchise for any other than a mountain water system to a period of ' 25 years Among the minor changes made in the plan was the reduction of the require ments for pressure for fire tests- to that section of the town comprised between First and Eight st'eets and between Adams and Van Buren. Within these limits, a pressure suf ficient to. throw three streatnsr from, one main 65 feet highis required. Outside of these limits such a. pres sure is required only for one stream. The council also considered the advisability of asking for bids in the present advertisement for an elec tric light franchise. An amend ment to the water plans was read before the council. It provided that bids for a light, franchise, eithesin connection with orseperate from the water system, and based upon a contract for supplying street lighting, would be received with the water bids For a time members discussed the amendment, and its verbiage, and seemed inclined for a while to adopt it. After some con sideration, however, the proposed amendment was dropped, and the plan of asking for light bids aban doned. A motion was however adopted, authorizing the mayor to appoint two persons, either mem bers or not members of the council to. investigate the needs of the city with reference to lighting. The mayor did not announce the appoin tees during the session. It is sup posed that this committee will report a plan to the council. " Deep well systems, and Willam ette river systems, as well as moun tain water systems played a part in the water discussicn. The con census of opinion seemed to be that a deep well system would not be desirable. It was agreed that all such water would be found to be hard, and ill-suited, for domestic use. The statement was made that the well originally put in to supply water to the boiler at the Benton Mills turned out to- be such hard water that it could not be used and other arrangements had to be made. The bottom of this well is but a few yards distant from and some what lower than the bed of the Willamette. Another statement made was that a well 135 feet deep near town yields water so hard that it is unsuited for domestic purposes' Another councilman said the water from every well in town is hard. The talk resulted in the incorpora tion into the plan of the word "soft" as one of the requirements lor water to be supplied, . " - , Willamette water was talked about considerably as likely - to be the ultimate source of supply, The opinion seemed present that nobody would bid on a mountain water system, because it would be found to be too expensive. , Councilman Crees said he wanted no other kind of system. The fire , chief said a mountain water system was impos sible because it was too costly. "The present plan" he said, "is estimated to involve an outlay of $70,000 to $90,000." If it is to cost that much we' might as well quit right now," remarked one member in an under tone, v V i v Spare the Birds That Is What Correspondent Pleads for. Editor Times: r Let the birds live and erjy blossoms on our tieta. To the practical, hardworking farmer and fruit-grower, such a re quest must seem senseless. But it is far from that; it is only juet. C -nsidering the . amount of good work the birds d-i for the farmer and fruii-smtw r, I say it is only ju-t and right that they sip the honey from the number of fruit blossoms that they do. . Watch the birds as they fly from limb to limb and branch to branch of the apple, pear and prune trees; what is it they eat? Not the blos som, but the injects and bugs that are around the blossoms. Why is That was it they do not destroy these? Do they know the value of them? Watch tbem on the more common fruit, eunh as Damson Rlums; tbey cut the bloom off close to the branch and eip the honey that is in it. They do not clean off on whole brar ch but take one here and there and so thin them out. I this a gain or a lose? Moet certainly it must be a gain because very often the fruit is packed so closfly on the branches that some of it is bound to remain undevel oped. The trees are loaded with fruit frVf ry year and gallons and gallons going to waste on the eruund. ' Cannot the birds pick the . bios soms, eat ine noney and thus in a great measure sav work in the summer for those who have the trees in their yards? As Oregoni ans, blessed with plenty and to spare, f-hould we not be generous to our friends and helpers the birds? Intea.d of frightening and , driv ing them away frona the snow-white branches of our tree, we should protect- and encourage tbem. Their lives at bet are short; let them live and make glad the morning with their notes ' of gladness and glorious rouidc. . C. R. always some Bun mino io For the Boy, Isn't there?
