The authority for that statement is John W. Cunningham of the linn of Baar and Cunningham, engineers, who had charge of the improvements at Grants Pass after the city acquired thm nit: It is nart of the oDenine paragraph of an article 'wrfHan hv Mr. Cunninorham i n "Western Construction News" on the Grants Pass situation. Further excerpts are: "In the past Grants Pass nas been aiaamea ot ntm eept lta water supply. The inferiority became more apparent r " when the neishborinf cities f Ashland and Medford improred thir supplies. Grants Pas was served by a water cempany in pfivate -ownership. The source of supply was the Rogue rlTer, snfcject-fto bacterial contamination, very muddy at times, and ""full or taste-forming alsae growths. The iatake was Impertect T screened, and the only treatment, chlorine sterilisation. That in nart naralells the Salem situation; only the wat ijf now being supplied is both pure and potable and reas onably free from the chlorine taste and odor. Here is the paragraph dealing with the determination to continue taking water from the Kogue: , "Engineering studies covered all possible sources of water. t Weli possibilities were found doubtful, and did not Justify cost- I ly experimental drilling. Gravity supplies would require extreme jly long pipelines, and werw complicated by Irrigation and min ting water rights. The Rogue river offered ample -water, of ex t cellent chemical Quality, but requiring filtration to give a sat p i lsfactory municipal -supply. The reconstructed plant included a b w rtlHtlAn and nnmnloa nlant." I ; Once again there is the striking parallel. Wells here are an uncertain source of supply; gravity supplies "would re ttbire long pipe-lines," and irrigation rights and mining de- Th e Safety Valve - - Letters frost Statesmaii Readers C "FATHEB JOE -Inclosed f lai a cUpplng from our pendleton.

It is the best or chard of lta kind in the Pacific northwest, if not any where in the world. Likely the latter Is the true atatemestt. It has had tne most nearly 100 per cent perfect attention throughout Its life, now approaching near to Its SO year. Still, Mr. Noble does not knew ail there is to learn about walaut culture, though he has gathered about all the information any one has la that flold, la Europe or America. II. P. Adams la the manager of the Skyline orchard; the resident overseer; the man who haa direct charge of all the operations. And ha take a treat deal ot pride la the accomplishments made on tne land In that tract, at the top of the highest nearby hill overlook ing Salem, and visible for many miles la every direction la what is one of the best sections of one ot the richest and most beautiful valleys la all the world. But Mr. Adams has long own- d a SO acre cherry and peach or chard on the Wallace road, oppos ite the Franklin bulb farm, and la one of the chief suburbs of the capital city. West Salem. Be has a renter oa his own place. S Six years ago,' Mr. Adams se cured from Joan Berren, nursery man, 41 year-old grafted Fran quette walnut trees and planted them 64 feet apart In his SO acre tract, taking; out every third cher ry or peach tree. That makes his walnut trees seven years old. He harvested a few walnuts la 19 SI; not enough to giro much of a showing. Last year he got 18 pounds, and this year the harvest yielded 18S pounds. S la Be thinks that Is perhaps a record percentage of increase for such young trees from 18 to 18 pounds. The reader may figure it out for himself. Mr. Adams ex pects to get a half ton next year. Who knows but he may lire to see half a toa, or even a ton. har vested annually from each one of hi trees? For he is yet only a youngster In the Journey of. lite, which Dr.' Mayo said the other day will soon be extended to an average of 70 years, instead ot the SS or so that was considered the mean span when a lot ot us were in the period ot our callow youth. W , Whatever may happen in the nut industry the world over, this is certain to come : to pass; ' the chestnuts do well lni this -section. It Is not too much to predict that, la good time,' the Willam ette valley will look from an air plane like one vast orchard, with nut trees extending clear to the tops of the mountains on both sides. Walnut trees will In the future furnish rest timber resour ces here.

Our aut growing industry will in time furnish proportionately a great labor force la our cities and towns as are now employed In oar fruit and vegetable estab lishments, for nut products will go to market in many forma, some of them now scarcely vlsioned.

CHAPTER IB At dusk they landed at the fly ing field outside ot the small town la which they were to spend the night. There was a hotel ot sorts and accommodations had been arranged for them. On the ground they were all a little stiff, a little cramped. Mrs. Eames con fessed to a headache. She would, she said, go early to bed aa they wer to atari directly after dawn on the morrow. The pilot, the mechanic and the steward vanish ed. It semed, into thla air; they were taking the piano back, on the following day. Another plane, another pilot and mechanic would continue the trio.' "I had a chance," Eames told Fanchon and Evelyn, when they had arrived at the hotel, had washed up and In spected their rooms and were din ing together on the best the hotel could afford, "to charter, the planes from this particular com pear at less thaa usual rates. A friealf of mine," he said'- Iofper- Untrr.' "backed It ..."

It seemed, wished to. go into the commercial end of It ... It was for hie sake, Mrs. Eames had added, that they were taking the trio. After dinner everyone went to their rooms. Fanchon undressed and lar down on the narrow bed and stared through the window. It was stlU and warm. She could n't aleeo. She was bone tired but ah couldn't sleep. If only there were someone to whom she could talk, of whom she might ask ad vice! A knock at her door. "May come in?" asked Evelyn Howard. Fanchon called out . . . "Please do." and Evelyn. In a silk ktmona and floppy males, her hair neatly wared with combs and the combs held in place with a net, advanc ed a cold-creamed face Into the room. "My room'a dreadfully hot; hotter than this." she complained. "I can't sleep. I'm too excited." She sat down on the bed beside Fanchon aa began to talk. She hadn't, she said, any idea of what Mrs. Carstalrs' plans might be. That they woald inelnde South ampton.

During the first, nine months ot this year, the mill has turned out 150.000 pounds of scoured wool, whUe In. the entire year of 1080 the. production was but 1(8,000 pounds. The money value of the woolen manufac tured In the first nine months was 818.500 more than in the same period last year. The mill has run at full capacity this year until the fall months. The mill now employs 110- per sons, Mr. page said. Tne manu facturing prcess includes 11 main operations.

"What are your plans?" "I haven't any. Ill go to work. I suppose," Fanchon replied dully. "What sort of work?" Evelyn wanted to know. She had already the alr'of tolerant cariosity dis played by the female ot leisure towards the female who must earn her living. "I dou't know. I'm not trained for anything. In San Francisco I did some substitute library work and then." said Fanchoa smiting. "I modelled dresses." "Yob could, of course, with your figure," Evelyn remarked. "But . . . weU, it Isn't a nice occu pation, is It? Maybe Aunt Jen nle would help you to find some thing. But must you work?" she asked. "Ladies must eat."

Evelyn said softly, still Jumping at conclu sions. But she wasn't sorry for her. Envious If anything. No ro mance had eome Into her own life as yet And with the envy came also the smug virtue-re e tloa ot the girl who has. never been tempted. "Be wanted me to marry him," said Fanchon.

While they may relate to spiritual conquest they are phrased in the language of battle and set to martial music.
