The schedule of sport waa drawn
up carefully with a rlew to furnishing
opportunities lor everyone to compete,
and the nature of the con est was such
that there waa a comedy feature in
every event, and no opening waa left
for professional athletes to slip In and

work, grouped themselves in the last
section of the train and led the crowd
in sin it Inn. all the way back to Port

for the occasion, about the different
members of the committee. At last R.

Hack to Bonneville. We Do." adapted
to a popular melody. It waa hailed aa
the official song of the picnic and waa
sung with Immense gusto by the entire
crowd up to the moment they dispersed
outside the entrance of the Union
JUepot.
Itonnevtlle appeared to have won the
whole party, as an Ideal place to spend
a picnic.
"Whatever the convnlttee may decide
next year." said Mr. Malley. president
of the association and chairman of the
committee, "the place that gets the
picnic next year, will have to i;o some

SYSTEM"
Milwaukie. 'Or., Oct. 6,1910.
Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co., Portland Or.
Oentlrme-n : Replying; to yours of the 29th, will state
that the leader Water System purchased from you about a
vear ago has proved satisfactory in every particular. 1
"think that the air pressure system is far superior to any
other, both as to first cost and up-keep. Mine has not
cot me one cent for repairs and I do not see how it can
ever sost me anything outside of probably new leathers
for the pump. . ,
I operated mv pump by hand power up to last July
and then purchased one of your l-II. P. Stover Gas Engines
which I have attached to the hand pump. The engine has
so far given excellent satisfaction aud I now Lave what I
consider an ideal water supply system.
If there is anvone in my neighborhood thinking Oi pat
ting in r svstem'at anv time I will be glad to show thera
mine if it will help you in any way. I can always be found
at the office of the Shingle Mill at Milwaukie.

"LEADER ISA PERFECT SUCCESS"
Clackamas, Or., November 1, 1910.
Mitchell. Lewis & Staver Co., Portland, Or.
Gentlemen: The Leader Tank and the Air Compressor
and two-horsepower Stover Engine you installed for me at
my home Inst Summer is a perfect success.
They work like a charm and are always ready for busi
ness. They cause me no trouble nothing gets out of order.
I take pleasure in recommending this whole plant to
anyone wishing to purchase a good one. I don't believe
there cau be any better. It operates simply, easily and
perfectly. Yours truly,

PROOF THAT THE
"LEADER SYSTEM IS ALL ITS NAME IMPLIES"
Oak Grove, Or., October 10,' 1910.
Mitchell. Lewis & Staver Co., Portland. Or.
Gentlemen: Yours of September 29 at hand. In reply
will say the Leader Water System is ell the name implies.
I am well satisfied with my plant at the present time. It is
working fine. I think one wants to begin to pump air as
soon as they do water, that is if they have an air cylinder
with the pump; by doing this you get a good pressure that
is easy to maintain.
I gladly recommend the System as put up by you as
first-class. You can refer anyone to me if you care to.
' Most respectfully yours,
(Signed) GEO. M. PARKER.
WILL SOLVE YOUR
WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM
and place the many conveniences depending upon water under pressure in the
home within -your reach. Don't let the pleasures of rural life be marred by
poor water supply when at a reasonable cost you can install a LEADER SYS
TEM and have all the water you desire at any point on your grounds or in any
part of your house and -buildings. The LEADER SYSTEM furnishes an abun
dance of water for domestic use or sprinkling, under a pressure that makes it
invaluable in ease of fire. The LEADER SYSTEM is absolutely sanitary.
The tank, which is made of pressed steel, and is capable of maintaining a
pressure of 125 pounds, is airtight; impossible for anything to get into the
water after it has been pumped into the tank. The tank may be placed in tho
basement or underground, keeping the water cool in Summer and preventing
freezing in Winter. We have on file many letters from LEADER owners, of
which the three reproduced here are fair samples, and we can point out dozens
of homes iu which the LEADER SYSTEM is furnishing dependable -A-ater sup
"nlv uuder pressure. If you have a water system which is unsatisfactory, fig
ure with us on changing it into a satisfactory LEADER SYSTEM, lou will
be surprised at the low installation and maintenance cost ot a LhADhK Sib
TEM If you can't call, write for our book, "THE QUESTION OF WATER."
