GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the" world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open, account. iLook over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

By a fire that occurred about 11
o'clock last. night the home of Mrs.
August Stangier, 613 Mark street, was
almost destroyed by fire. While the
house was not burned to the ground
It was so demolished as to be nearly
useless and a considerable part of the
furniture was aio destroyed. The Joss
U estimated at between $600 and
J1000.
The fire was caused by the dropping
o.' a lamp on the stairway. After the
family had retired for the night Mrs.
Stangler arose and etarted for th
second stcry of the fcouse to secure
epme additional bed eiothlng. While
carrying the lamp op the stairway she
tripped and ell. throwhsg the lamp

The Slangier hosae adjoint the
home of Fire Chief John Vaughan

firemen to reach the scene. An alarm
was given for No. 3, the north side

also one other outside company.
But the fire had gotten under such
headway that It was impossible to

easily seen that the house would be

The Portland Oregonlan In an ed
itorial entitled "Time to Call .In the
Assessor," discusses the proposed
gravity water system for Pendleton,
power sites and- other kindred sub
jects as follows:
News dispatches from Pendleton
convey the information that the peo
ple of that city are considerably agi
tated because a water and power
company has filed on all the water
of Umatilla river Just a few days bo-
fore the city intended to locate a di
version point for municipal purposes.
According to the view takea by the
Pendleton people, this gives the pow
er company the upper hand And the
City must get permission from the
company to take water from Cmatll.
la. river.
But If Pendleton really wants wa
ter : from Umatilla river" , this is no
time to acquiesce in the claims of
any. rival approprlator of water. This
is the time to get your fighting
clothes on and go after what you
want. Take a big stick along. The
policy of lying down and asking (per
mission doesn't pay.
It Is one thing to file notice of an
appropriation of water, and quite an
Ohter thing to get the water. It Is one
of the fundamental rules of law in the
appropriation of water that the wa
ter must be put to a beneficial use
within a reasonable time, and what is
a reasonable time depends upon the
Circumstances of each particular case.
If the power company has acraal
use for the water upon which it has
filed, there is no need to question He
right nor to ask its permission to take
water. '
!lf - there Is more water than the
power company needs for its own use
Pendleton has a right to take it with
out asking the power company's per
mission. If the power company has
wiiter -to sell, or give away, that Is
pretty pgood evidence ithat it has more
than It needs, and ather appropria
tes hav a right to It. The law of
appropriation does not recognize any
right to .aolze water fr speculative
purposes. Use Is the mwisure of the
right.
But, assuming that the power
company has use for the water, what
then? There are several things a
good flghterican do, but there Is only
one course for a quitter. The quit
ter must pay the price. The fighter
can bring a suit to condemn, and
when the owner of the water right
places a valuation upon it, the as
sessor can be quietly notified of the
astonishingly large addition to the
value of taxable property In the coun
ty. A good fighter will manage to
catch them either ?a-comlng or
going, and perhapa both.
If a water right has a high value
when the public wants to buy It, It
ought to have a high value when the
public wants to tax it. The people of
Oregon have been altogether too slow
flndjng that out, and some of the as
aessors and boards of equalization are
so stupid they haven't found It out
yet. Perhaps some of them never
will. ' .
A few years ago, it will be remem
bered, the state of Oregon engaged
in litigation over the right to take a
small quantity of water from a ditch
at the state prison.
The owner of the ditch put an
enormous valuation upon the water,
but a few months later, when the as
sessor listed the ditch at a fraction
of the valuation placed upon It by
the owner, there was a protest and a
vigorous contest.
At various times the state has been
compelled to buy land for Its state
Institutions, and almost Invariably
it has paid many times the amount
for which the property was assessed
There Is no sense In such methods of
doing business.
If Pendleton wants to buy some
body's water right and wants to know
the value, don't send the mayor or a
committee of the city council around
to inquire what the property Is
worth. Send the assessor. That is
the plan that may well be commend.
ed to the favorable consideration not
only of Pendleton, but of the boards
of truBtees of the state university, the
agricultural oollege and other Instttu
tions that are in need of additional
land.

No Effort Yet Made to Secure a DK

Profltnblo Feature of Commercial
Association Classes Could Now Be
Organized If-a Director Were In
Charge.
Though fall Is now at hand and the
time for Indoor sports Is fast drawing
near no steps have yet been taken to
open the Commercial association gym
nasium. From appearances, the gym
naslum, with Its $1200 "worth ot
equipment, Is to He Idle this year.
During the past three years a di
rector has been employed to manag
the gymnasium and enough money
has been raised from class dues and
entertainments to meet expenses dur
Ing the gymnasium season. But this
fall no effort has yet been made to
wards getting- a director and seem
ingly none Is to be employed. If no
director Is secured the gymnasium
classes cannot be run this year and
the association will derive nothing
from its equipment
Should the "gym" not be used this
fall there will be many who will re
gret the fact because they like the
work and games that they have found
there during the last three seasons.
There are many In the city who ,
are Interested In the gymnasium and
are willing to patronize the same. If
these people can be Interested suffi
ciently the Institution can be made to
pay expenses. In the past the diffi
culty has been In keeping up strong
enough Interest to make the class
receipts meet expenses.
