THEY WONT WAIT FOREVER IN his letter published today Asa' Arbrjgast, a resident of Northern Grant county, says that if this county does not lm- prove its road to the south the only course for the people there will be to cooperate, towards a better road into Heppner, thfcir next best bet in the way of an outside town. There is more truth than poelrv in that declaration. That is the very course they plan and will carry out if we do not get busy within a rea sonable time. In fact the Grant county bond money and market road money available for work on the road connecting with tb county noes not necessarily have to be spent there and wont be ao expended unless Umatilla county cooperates by improving its psit of the road. If we fail to do our part the Grant t'o 1 iiy money will be expended with a view to a better Heppner con nection. ', . , , 1 ' ' .

The annual precip.xauoi. rnohes At the summit of the Cascades tne annual precipitation, exceeds 40 inches it decreases to the eastward, and reaches 15 inches about the csnter of tic state. East of this there is section receiving less than 15 Inches, extend ing tn a narrow strip to the north line of the state, but expanding to the south ward, and occupying the whole southeast third of the state. In the Blue mountains, in the northeastern part of the state, the pruc-.p.tation increases to "he palpitation Is heaviest in the winter, but thero is a secondary Pmx Im'tin. In May and June, with a very dry period during the late summer. The rtlia..ely largo winter and spring precipitu-.ion makes it possible to raise grain croi without irrigation In most sections ?n normal ya-irs but irrigation is nee essaiv for the growing of other crops except in sonw of tho higher Taking the state as a whole, there are still large opportunities for irriga tion development, since there are tmnwn, areas of tiilabla land, and law unused supplies of water." M ,, .. "Possible to raise grain crops in normal years, says the very conservative census man. We'll say that gentleman is too hard boiled.

As a mntier of fact the minimum is $1.00 for S00 cubic feet or less, and not $1.00 per thousand cubic feet as quoted ny you. The minimum .charge at I'enaie. ton is. and always has been B"o for which the customer is entitled to 850 feet of gas. It is apparent, therefore, that insofar as the minimum charge i rnnirnnl. Pendleton eas users are twice as well off as those at Astoria. Gas is sold at Pendleton for straight l nn nor thousand un to 10.000 feet after which a discount is made of 25c per thousand, and So on up the scale. The first 200 feet cost $1.00 in Astoria,' after which a charge of $2.50 per thousand feet is made, discounts for amounts over 5000 feet being made. Th ereat increase in oil from whicn gas is made in Astoria made this new schedule imperative that the company could pay interest and depreciation. . The situation In fenaieton outers but little from those in Astoria, we have been struggling along the past two vpars trusting that the price of coal and labor would decrease, but to Cate we find our coal bills increased Sr nercent and labor 66 per cent, and we continue to sell gas at the same old price. - I would also call your attention -to the fact that the Pacific Power and Light Company is the only concern in your city, that has not Increased its nrire throush these trying times, this notwithstanding the fact that material and labor Increased from' 50 to 100 per cent.

TWi cause of this was explained both through your paper and the Tribune and you were paid ior tne explanation. ... . Investigation on our part showea i came from illy ventilated rooms, '-small apart ments, and in many cases from water heaters and stoves having no pipes for carrying off the fumes, or unburned gas.
