It is with 'profound regret that the
neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Geigor bid
them good bye. During their residence

When a person is heard to tnnke the
remark that he cannot get work here, it
iniuht be announced that it ia altogether
out of bis line of business, for there is a
great demand for laboring men this
spring and men seem to be scarce; that
is, men that are familiar with the work
in the timber. This is no place for those
who are afraid to work. You don't
hear the stereotyped phrase that you
did a few years ago. "Cau you give me
the price of a meal? I have been tryinp
to get work, but cannot, and I huve had
nothing to eat for several days." The
only place you hear this remaik now is
around cities by a class of men who are
too lazy to ewiug an oxe or pull u saw.
The wages for laboting men is increas
ing and this seasou promises to be one
of tlio best for several years, in the log
ging camps especially. Skamania Co.

John Piifhck, the tailor, h iving been
bothered a good deal with his bees
swarming and getting away while he
was down town at work, set his wits to
work to circumvent tlio pesky things,
mid thinks he has succeeded. The
hives are some distance from his house,
which is up near tho end of The Dalles
Lumbering Company's flume. Hither
to the only way to save a swarm was to
liava some one constantly on the watch.
But this was too troublesome and some
times cost more than tha swarm was
worth. By the new Invention each hive
IB suspended on a balance, which is reg
ulated according to tiie estimated weight
of the bees inside. When tto swarm
leaves the hive the balance drops on a
wire, which is connected with a battery
at the house and rings a bell. When
the bell rings, a telephone message is
immediately sent to John, who instantly
mounts a wheel nnd catches the swarm
flagrante delicto, as it were, and thus
saves it from getting away.
The Albany arrivod hero this morning
from Portland with 75 tons of rails for
the Paul Mohr portage. Thov were to
have been taken over Three-Milo rapids
and landed at the big eddy, but for
sonto reason tho Albany 6ailed pait way
to tho rapids, then ciuiio bqck, and soon
after steamed up tho river again nnd
laudud til d rails on tho bank of the
river opposite The Dalles. The boat
did not go near the rapids nor make any
attempt to climb thorn. Just why the
attempt was abandoned at the last
moment we cannot tell, but an ofliulal
of the portage road says It was because
an ofllcer of the government hoarded
the boat as she was about to start and
ordered the otlkore not to m.ke the
attempt. This Is n Blrango story but
we give It as we got It, direct from .the
official, Tho rails will be elevated from
the place they wero landed to the top of
the bliilT by a donkey eugiue and trans
ferrod thence by wagons, It would have
cost lesB to laud theiu on the bank of
the big eddy, but not enough to make
tho difference very material,
Hoard of Water Commissioners.
The regular monthly meeting of the
water commissioners waB held in the
recorder's office last night. Tho re
ports of the superintendent and treas
urer were read and placed on file.
Presideut Seufert, on behalf of Turner
& Sprat, submitted a proposition to the
board to bore for artesian water above
the reservoir .and guarantee a flowing
well for $3,500, witii the condition that
in the event of failure to procure arte
sian water the sum of if-00 should be
paid them to pay tho expense of moving
their machinery here. The matter was
disposed of by a motion to meet Wednes
day night and take the proposal under
further consideration.

The long-talked-of scheme of bringing
water from tho Deschutes river out on
what is known as the "desert" east of
the Deschutes and south of Crooked
river, has taken definite shape and will
soon be realized, says the Crook County
Journal, This will be done by the Ore
gon Iirigatlou Company, of which C. C.
Hutchinson is president, T. Edward
Pope, treasurer, and D. D. Warner, sec
retary. These gentlemen have had
large experience in similar undertakings
and huyc enlisted, abundant capital
with which to carry on the work to a
successful completion, The plan em
braces the constructing of three main
cauals leading from dilleieut points on
the Deschutes east and northeast as far
as Crooked river, with a system of lat
eral ditches from these, covering the
entire desert from the Bear creek hills
north and bringing morn than 100,000
acres of gojd, tillable land under culti
vation. Permanent surveys aro now being
made, nnd us soon as these are completed
actual construction of the first canal will
begin. The flume where it leaves the
river will be 30 feet wide and 10 feet
deep, and will carry enough water to
float tlu steam dredger, which will be
used for excavating the main canal, ex
cepte where it intersects rock ledges.
This Is a work of great magnitude, but
every detail has been figured out and
provided for, and before our readers will
have time to wake up and rub their
eyes, the "desert" will be blooming and
green.
