And if the "druggist be lacking in ability and care the prescription might as well have never been written. But we make a special study of each case and our own medical knowledge is thorough enough to be of great use to us in those sometimes oc curring cases when the doctor, in his haste, makes a slight error.

BARTMESS Funeral Director and Practical Embalmer ESTABLISHED 18 YF.ARS HOOD RIVER, OREOON REPORT FAVORABLE TO.LOST LAKE ROAD Although Portltindent have prevail ed upon Senator Chamberlain to take up with the U. S. Forestry Department the matter of enjoining the construc tion of the road through the Hull Run Reserve which would conuect Multno mah county with the Upper Hood Riv er Valley, c report by D. D. Clarke, engineer of the Portland water depart ment, sustains the assertion made here that PortlaLd's water supply is not threatened by construction of the road. Although the present supply from Bull Run is not sufficient for Port land's need:i during the helghth of the dry Beason Mr. Clarks advises a dam and a reservoir. This, be says, would be sufficient for all needs and it would at no time be necessary to draw upon the supply from the glacial stream along which the proposed road would be built. This is sometimes necessary at the present time. The report says in part: Before the completion of the second conduit the dally flow of Bull Run water was 22,500,00 gallons and tho reserve supply of the four reservoirs In the city waa 67,000,000 gallons. The second conduit is twice as large as the first.having a daily capacity of 45,000, 000 gallons, while the two new reser voirs hold 125,000.000 gallons. The to tal gravity flow of water into Portland, then, is 667,000,000 gallons, while there is storage accommodation for 192,000, 000 gallons. This supply, it is estimated, will meet the needs of a city of nearly 70, 000 people. The available flow of Bull Run, however, Is somewhat less dur ing the hottest period of the year than the maximum capacity of the conduits to Portland. As the city grows and the consumption of water approaches this maximum flow, it is proposed to maintain the supply by providing stor age reservoirs In the Bull Run Re serve. D.D. Clarke, engineer of the water department, has estimated that a storage capacity of 800,000,000 to 1, 000,000,000 that can be provided with out great expense in natural reservoir sites along Bull Run will keep the sup ply up to full capacity of the conduits during the dry season. As the aver age run-off from the Bull Run water shed is from six and eight times tho flow during the low water period there will be no difficulty in Ailing any storage reservoirs that may be provld ed. Bourne See No Danger United States Senator Bourne is the only member of the Oregon delegation at Washington who seems to feel that It would not impair the water supply of Portland to permit the construction of a road into the reserve. In a letter to the Portland water board, he ex pressed himself as of the opinion that It would be all right, but he said he would like to hear from the depart ment of officials there on the subject. City Attorney Grant, who Is in Wash ington on c fficlal business, wrote the board to the effect that there need be no fear that the Oregon delegation would tolerate any legislation looking to the building of a proposed road Into the reserve. He said all were opposed to it. The mayor and members of the water board are opposing the new- road. MILTON APPLE GROWERS MEET Union Manager Expects Average or 60c Box on Apples The members of the Milton Fruit Growers' Union have received in cash and material 61,027.53 as advance for the total amount of apples shipped this season, an average of 44 '4c a box. according to the report of Manager N. W. Mumford read before the annual gathering of the members at Milton a few days ago. He said he expects the growers to receive an average of 60c a box on their apples when the An al returns are all in. The union, now has 65 cars of applse in storage. According to the report the union received during the season $260,748.62 from the sale of fruit. Of this amount the growers received in cash $159,559,- 62. A total of $69,598.46 was spent for materials and supplies, $3, 281.22 was spent for improvements and fix turps while the salaries paid amount ed to $23,202.83. This leaves a bal ance of $5,106.76 on hand. The unlcn spent approximately $40,719.04 for commissions. The Union handled a total of 196,416 boxes of apples during the season. Notice to Pensioners and as teiephone lines are sometimes bound to get crossed, the following conversation which gives a little in sight into the workings of the new institution was overheard in Hood Riv er a day or two ago: Ting a ling! Number, please. "Gimme Blank's Meat Market." "Hello!" "Hello! Is this Blank's Meat Mar ket?" "It sure is. What can we do for you?" "Now listen. This is Mrs Backtothe- land on Star route. You kuow we came from Chicago last summer. Say Mr. Blank, please send out a five pound porterhouse, two pounds of bo logna, some sauerkraut What's that? Are we Du'.ch? Why we were rocked in the same cradle with a bottle of lager, a fat cabbage and pretzels Hello, are you still there? Well you might add a small sized salmon, a pound of lard, a box of honey and a fat chicken. Send them out tomorrow morning. The postage will be about 15 cents and Just charge that In with the bill." "All right, Mrs. Backto. Is there anything else?" "Nothing more this morning, Mr. Blank." Ting a ling! "Number, please. "Hello, Central, is this Central?" "Of course this is Central. What did you think it was the circumference? Who do you want?" "Hello! Who is this?" "This is Corntassle's ranch. What do you want? "This is Mrs. Gasserby, Mr. Corn tassle. This is your farm, is It?" "Yes." "Well, we want one small spring pullet, a good hard cabbage, a peck of potatoes, a peck of rutabagoes, some carrots, a gallon of buttermilk, and, oh yes, nearly forgot It, a dozen of this year's eggs. Have you got them fresh?" "Yes, Mrs. GaBserby, they're fresh. Don't you hear the hens cackling? Listen. That's them." "All right, Mr. Corntassle, send my order down by mall this afternoon. The postage will be 12 or 13 cents. And Just put a special delivery stamp on so the postmaster will have to bring them right down for we are ex pecting company for supper. Good bye." Don't Be a Habit Man Do you know what a habit man is? He is a man who does a thing today because he did the same thing yester day. Repeating is easier than think ing bo Mr. Habit Man repeats. His name is legion. We find him ev erywhere. There he is now that bookkeeper. He has been holding the same job for the last ten years. He has been put ting the same figures in the same books all that time. His horizon ends at the top of the page. That is the reason the other fellow who is five years his Junior and has been with the firm only two years is now the secre tary at twice the bookkeeper's pay. The younger man thought. He grew. He found better ways of doing things. He became worth more to the firm and they paid him more. Just a simple commercial transaction, that's all. A Habit Man is a machine. A ma chine, you know, does not improve with age. It usually wears out. So does the Habit Man. Repetition is rust. Doing the same thing in the same way day after day wears a rut that finally penetrates down to the very depths of stagnation. Cudgel that brain of yours or it w ill surely lapse into a lifrtime sleep. Think! Dig! Make every day a day of improvement. No man is doom ed save the Habit Man. And no chains of habit can bind tight enough to hold the man who would break them with red-blooded thinking effort. Don't be a Habit Man. By Everett R. Roeder in the Busi ness Philosopher. WHITE SALMON (From the Enterprise) Under a recent ruling of the United States Pension Department two witnesses are required to the endorse ment on a pension check and the wit nesses are required to certify that they have seen the pension certificate and that the number on the check cor responds to the number on the certifi cate. In order to facilitate cashing these pension checks, we will be glad to have pensioners who care to do so leave their certificates with us for safe keep ing .and our tellers can then sign as witnesses when the checks are cashed.
