structed. It will be 70 feet above the
street level and will contain 100,000
gallons of water.
The city will not levy any specla
tax to make this much-needed im
provement, as It has about $1000 in
the treasury toward the completion
of the project, which will cost about
$2500.
The remaining $1500 will be paid

feet from H. B. Richmond, upon
which to place the reservoir.

At the grocery store one muy see
farmers buying vegetables, butter and
eggs a thing that seems odd. for in
other communities It is the farmers
who are selling, riot buying, these
commodities.
In conversation with the owner of
the store he said: "Our farmers here
are wheat raisers and many of them
do not take the time to bother with
raising a garden or making butter.
We get most of our vegetables from
Pendleton or Milton.
"I have accounts here on my book
ranging from a few hundred to $1.
500 for groceries and other supplies
purchased during the year. In the
fall, when the wheat Is sold, they are
all squared up. I do not believe there
Is a community in the whole United
States where the loss from crediting
so small as here.
"The only accounts we lose are an
occasional small bill contracted by
transients who move In for a little
while and then flit between two days.
The accounts of the permanen
residents are as good as wheat in the
bin or gold In the bank."
John McElchorn, a Helix whea
buyer and warehouseman, said: "The
amount of wheat tributary tn Helix
Is surprising to a person unacqualnt
ed with this neighborhood. Last year
we got In about 175,000 sacks at the
two warehouses here, or to put It In
bushels. over 390,000 bushels;
larger part, of course, being red chaff
wheat, with some barley."
John Timmerman, one of the prin
cipal land owners and wheat raisers,
said: "Who are the biggest wheat
raisers here? Let me see. Well,
there is Frank and H. B. Richmond.
They farm about 12 quarter sections,
and Henry Koepke, who farms seven
or eight quarters; and John Gross,
with about the same number; and L.
Mueller, who Is farming 10 quarter
sections; and the Myricks and Wil
liam Scott, and Ed Pojts and lots of
others. One man farms 14 quarter
se-'ltnns. He owns one and rents the
other IS. I own and farm 14 myself.
"Last year I had about half in sum
mer fallow and from the other halt
I got 35,000 bushels. I averaged 70
cents a bushel for It so you see I
got about $24,600 for my wheat crop
last year.
"It cost me about 33 cents a bush
el to raise, harvest and deliver, so
you se'j I didn't clear much over $12,-0?-
tn the crop. But that ain't so
bad, and lny spring wheat is looking
fine.
"Vou S"e, we have had a very fav
orable spring no hot days nor cold
weather, but warm spring days, good
growing weather, with lots of show
ers. You see, these mild, cloudy
days turn the fields green pretty
quick. Now, if we have no late frosts
we will be apt to have a good crop."
At the dinner table the present
deputy assessor and the deputy as
sessor who assessed last year In the
Helix district, were speaking of the
assessment of Helix district, which is
embraced within township No. 4.
"How do you find the farmers?"
asked the ex-deputy. "In splendid
shape," assured the present deputy.
Some of them are preparing to move
to town to educate their children. A.
Lelslnger will go to Pendleton soon.
They are making homes of their
farms, getting better blooded stock,
and are well fixed, financially." "Do
many of them try to hide out or cov
er up assessable property?" "A few,
not many: as a rule they are very
honest. If they were all like Henry
Pond ait assessor would have an easy
tinv. I con't believe I ever saw a
more ccnsilentious man. He'll even
dig down in his "Jeans" and turn In
what money he has In his pocket. I
Lellevc he is the squarest man In
Oregon. It you buy a horse of him
he is more apt to tell you of Its de
fscti than its good points, and will
t?ll you that it was once lame, how
old It Is and all about it and what
hi savs you can depend on absolute
ly. Yes, sir; If they were all like him
we would get a full and complete
eii'meralli n of all property.
"nut, nil In all. you will have hard
work to fin., a better country, or a
tetter reopl than you will find In

Columbus, Ohio, May 20, 1903.
' Six years ego I had a severe attack ot
uflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid up
tn bed for six months, and the doctors I
had did me no good. They changed med
icines every week and nothing they pre
scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be
gan the use of S. S. S. My knee and elbow
joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my joints were so swollen and pain
ful that I could not close them when
opened. I was so bad that I could not
move knee or foot. I was.getting discour
aged, you may be sure, when I began 8. S.

ued it, and to-day I am a sound well man
and have never had a return of the disease.
S. S. S. purified my blood and cured me
of this severe case of Rheumatism after
everything else had failed. I have rec
commended it to others with good re
sults. R. H. Chapmax.

Emphatic Talk by Pendleton Citizens.
Every day in the year some resi

or neighbor about experiences with
Doan's Kidney Pills. No such em
phatic endorsement was ever given
for any modern medicine. Read what
what this citizen says:
S. B. Baldwin, retired, of 709
Thompson street, Pendleton, Ore.,
says: "When I saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, I desired to try them
and got a box at the Brock & McCo
mas Co. drug store. They did me a
world of good. My kidneys had both
ered me off and on for 35 years, al
ways more severely after I had
caught cold. There was not much
backache, but I was annoyed with a
weakness of the kidneys which dis
turbed my rest several times each
night. I got Doan's Kidney Pills and
used seven boxes in all. They cor
rected the function of the kidneys
and strengthened my back as well."
