There is guessing locally over the question of how big tbe crowd will be at the coming celebration. One man In position to know figures out tbat more people will be in Oorvallis at that time than have been In attendance at any local celebration since the 4th when they had tbe sham battle. tThe latter Instance was about a dozsn years ago, Tbe fact that Dallas and Lebanon are the nearest towns that are celebrating makes it likely tbat Oorvallis will have a very large crowd. An innovation on the usual cus tom has been planned by the general committee for public convenience at tbe celebration. Many will approve, but others, ot course, will kick. There are always thoee who Kick. A man wbo fell heir to a fortune of $100,000 kicked because the inheritance wasn't all money instead of part real estate. Tbe proposed innovation is temporary seats to be placed at tbe outer edge of the pavement along the principal blocks on Main street. It will be a resting place for tbe aged, infirm and weary. It will be a place for mothers with babes in their arms to rest tor a moment. They won't be able to see much, but they will get that precious few minutes of rest tor which people in crowds bo many times long It the not miaatternoon or a 4th ot tiuiy.

We quit pumping between ten and eleven at night, leaving the tanks full, ' When a number of hose are allowed to run all night there is little water left in the tank by morning. Should there be a fire, which is liable to occnr any night, there would be bnt little water for the occasion and if there was there would be no force to fight fire with, either from tank or pump with so many hose open.
