When pipes begin , to
leak and the bathroom
floor is flooded, look out
for a fall in the ceiling
below. All small leaks
become Niagaras if neg
lected,, and it costs lots
of money 'to repair a
ceiling. The surest way
to avoid a Plumber's
bill is either to put in
the best plumbing at the
start, or to watch out
for possible leaks and
rusty joints. WE are
expert Plumbers, use
only the best materials,
the best workmanship,
and guarantee all work
done. THINK AHEAD!
If you have plumbing
that you want done in
the cheapest manner do
not come to . us. We
don't do that kind of
work; but if you have
Plumbing that you want
done in a first-class man
ner, Plumbing that's
fully Guaranteed, better
see us. That's the kind
of work we want and
our price will be as cheap
as that kind of work can
be done.

NEW SUNDAY TRAIN
Service Will Be Maintained Between
Dallas and Falls City During
Summer Months.
The netition of the DeoDle of Falls
City for Sunday train service has
been granted by General Manager
Louis Gerlingwr, Jr., and the first
special trip will be made next Sunday.
The train will leave Dallas at 9 a. m.,
and returning, will leave Falls City
at 6 :30 p. m. The service will be con
tinued regularly each Sunday until
further notice.
The time schedule has been so
arranged as to give the people of
Dallas an opportunity to spend the
entire day in the mountains or to visit
friends in the country. It Is believed
that manv people will avail them
selves of the chance to get away from
town and enjoy an outing In tne
woods durinpr the warm summer
months. The train will also accom
modate the people of Falls City and
Black Rock who wish to spend Satur
day In Dallas and return home Sun
day morning. Heretofore, loggers
and lumbermen visiting Dallas on
Saturday have had to return home In
the afternoon or wait over until Mon
day morning, thus losing an entire
dav from their work.
The people of Falls City will welcome
the Improved service, as they have
loner desired Sundav connection with
the outside world. Manager Gerlioger
informs us that the schedule will be
made permanent, ir sufficient patron
age is offered to justify the expense of
the Increased service.
