CLEAN STREETS AND
A CITY
CRUSADE AGAINST FILTH
eoxnxcEs through day
Mncb Enthusiasm Manifest In Rid
dance of Rubbish Odor of Burn
ing Rags Fills the Air Wagons
Will Begin Hauling Next Week.
Again today has old J. Pluvius done
his best to put an end to the cleaning
up campaign, but again he has been
forced to give It up and the finishing
touches to the most successful cam
paign since the plan was inaugurated
are being put on this afternoon. The
real end will not come until next week
when the city will put men, horses
and wagons on the job hauling the
debris to the dump pile.
The odor of burning rags and oth
er debris has been in the air contin
uously since early yesterday morning
and despite the showers it is still
prevalent this afternoon. While not
strictly pleasant in itself, the odor is
none the less pleasing in that it sig
nifies that the cty is rapidly being
made more beautful and healthful.
So much enthusiasm in the cam
paign of improvement has been en
gendered that in some quarters where
the days have not been observed be
fore, the accumulation of many years
1 being removed. No eection is being
overlooked this time and the city will
present a better appearance than it
ever has before. Even In its present,
state with the streets lined with heaps
of rubbish and small bonfires, the ef
fect is not displeasing.
So far the women of the civic club
and the officials of the city are highly
pleased with the results of their ef
forts and with the co-operation of the
cltisena,
It has also been a profitable occa
sion for one Junk dealer If reports are
true, for it is said that he has been
going about the city emptying out
the sacks of rubbish, appropriating
the sack as his own and also appro
priating any junk which he thinks is
of the slightest value.
IRRIGATTOXIST IS INDICTED
FOR STEALING WATER
Spokane, Wash. Unique is the In
dictment against Charles H. Arnold,
an irrigation farmer in Stevens coun
ty. Wash., haled to the United States
district court here on complaint of D.
C. Corbin, millionaire railroad build
er and beet, sugar manufacturer of
Spokane, charged with stealing wa
ter from Loon lake to the extent of
lowering its surface fully 30 inches.
Arnold is charged with opening the
gates and wasting the water. He and
his wife have been cited to appear
before Judge Edward Wnttson In Spo
kane to show why they should not be
fined for contempt of court in ignor
ing its orders. The lake has its chief
source in Sheep creek and residents
in the district say there will be a wa
ter famine If the main body is low
ered much more. Springdale, a thriv
ing town, secures Its water supply
from that source, and several irriga
tion companies have laid plans to
draw water from the lake, but have
been restrained so far by orders of
the county and district courts.

this year will be completed with an
excess since we have never had less
than half the normal rainfall in this
period of time.
During 1908 the greater amount
of precipitation for any one month was
1.44 inches, which occured In Octob
er of that year. During the present
season 3.68 inches was recorded In
November, 1.83 inches in January and
1.74 inches in February, each of the
three months having a greater rainfall
than the heaviest month ot 1908.
March Was Beautiful.
According to old residents there
never has been a nicer March than
the one which has just passed Into
history. The monthly weather report
shows there were 14 clear days, 11
days that were partly cloudy and only
six cloudy days. The highest tem
perature recorded during the month
was 71 while the lowest was 28, a
temperature that was recorded on two
different dates. The mean tempera
ture for the month was 51 degrees
while the normal temperature for
March is but 36 degrees. The mean
maximum temperature was 63 while
the mean minimum was 39, or three
degrees higher than the normal mean
temperature' for the month.
The greatest difference In tempera
ture for 24 hours was 36 degrees,
while during one period of 24 hours
there was only a difference of one de
gree. There were eight days during
which there was a precipitation of .01
of an inch or more, while the greatest
24 hour precipitation of the month
was exactly half an inch.
The following table shows the nor
mal rainfall for . year by months
and the amount of the precipitation
for the year thus far beginning with
the opening of the wet season in Sep

A special from Weston to the Ore

"A party of railroad surveyors are
at work on Weston Mountain, eight
miles east of town. They refuse to
give out any Information beyond the I
fact that, they are seeking the short
est route from the Grande Ronde

are unable so far to find a suitable
grade down any of the canyons lead
ing to Dry Creek or Couse Creek from
Weston Mountain, and that they arc
now seeking a route towards Wes
ton in which event the new road will
pass about a mile east of this town.

AGEI MAN WATCHES
REMOVAL OF HIS LEG
i Butte, Mont. Seated on the oper
ating table, conscious or everyming
going on about him, Joseph Hen
worth, a miner, watched the surge
ons at Murray hospital amputate his
leg, but suffered little. If any pain
from the operation at the time. In
performing the operation Drs. With
0,.ar,n nnrl K-lstler used stovaine, ln-
I Jecting It into the spinal cord. It was
I used for the first time in the state
and the operation was success In every
detail. Dry gangrene necessitated
the operation.
Henworth is 73 years of age. His
advanced age made the giving of an
anaesthetic inadvisable, yet the am
putation of the limb was deemed ne
cessary to save his life, and it was
depided to use stovaine.

the Rand estate on Hawthorne place.

Tact is that rare quality teaching a
man to deal with his fellow men as
ho finds them. Some people take tact
for Jolly. The man who Jollies you
is not your friend. It is your friend
who criticizes you and your enemy
who flatters you. I have tried to
profit by that. The man who tells
you you are wrong wants you to Im
prove. You must have tact. It Is the way
you say a thing as well as what you
say. When you are dictating a letter
please b ar In mind that your per
sonality does not go with It hot words
become cold type when received and
