After the Doctor--
TMl: DRUGGIST
The doctor's work is only half
what has to be done'for the pa
tient. 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.

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

W. Mumford read before the annual

62. A total of $69,598.46 was spent
for materials and supplies, $3, 281.22

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.
