How She Viewed Bishope.
The Right Hev Dr. Edmund Knox,
bishop of Manchester. Is famed
throughout the north of England for
his otieo nir preaching. He has con-
: ducted some very successful missions
on Blackpool Sands, and be Is Im
mensely popular with the rough and
ready natives of Lancashire
During one of his recent missions on
Blackpool Beach two Lancashire mill
giris were discussing the situation.!
'Who's that?" asked one as the bishop
got Up to speak:
"That's the bishop of Manchester,"
was the reply.
"Nay, lass," said the first speaker,
"no bishop 'ud do that."
"But it is the bishop; 1 tell ye."
"Well, if It really Is the bishop let's
go and 'ear him, for I thowt as bishops
did nowt but draw their brass.'; Bell

The Herald ni.ut has demon
strated that, then- is " no reason
why there should ma. i'e ample
protection from lire'i';) this city
for a small sum. "-AVe have a
thieequarter inch hose fo.l by a
half inch pipe from n one and
onehalf inch main 'that throws a
.stream thirty feet from the
nozzle.. 'This stream' is the result
of a small pump run by a one
horse electric motor at the lower
well of the Griffa water system.
This stream could be maintained
at a uniform pressure by having
an air chamber on 'the pump.
Take this into consideration and
then estimate what could be
done if the main was a three
inch one and water furnished it
from a big pump ran by a ten
horse motor and forced through
a two inch hose. The streams
from such a source co"ld ex
tinguish any fire that will ever
happen in this town. A water
systiin to supply the city with
'ample lire protection can be in
1 stalled for not to exceed $5000.
! Do a little figureing and see.
There is no necessity for large
mains. A four inch main from
the supply point to the business
section and on the main street
from the bank to the post .office
would be ample and then dis
tribute in in three inch mains
on the principal streets .with two
inch maius on others which
would be sufficient for domestic
purposes and for lire protection.
The Herald has formed a com
bination with the Pacific Month
ly whereby we can offer that ex
cellent western magazine and
the best family county paper
published in this county for the
exceptionally low price of $1.65
for both for one year. This
price is for either new subscrib
ers or for renewals. The price
of the Pacific Monthly alone is
$1.50.
MORE COFFEE TALK
Dear Ladies:-
Nothing comes closer home to your husband than the
kind of coffee he drinks. Right here is where the problem of
taste comes in, and discriminating coffee drinkers are always
alert to get hold of a brand that has just the quality that goes
to the right spot.
But the problem does not end there, some brands are
one thing to-day and qu;te another tomorrow, and how could
you hope to please with such a brand.
It has always been my idea to get a coffee that pleases
and keeps the same quality day in and day out, year after year,
and my years of experience handling this coffee has proven
that we have it in Chase & Sanborn's Blends. t
Don't forget the price twenty-five and thirty-five cents.
Once used, always used. We are getting boquets on this coffee
every day.
Yours very truly,
T. A. Riggs,

eight months old and was going
for $125.
A. F. Domes has about com

housing or the live stock. Every
thing looks prosperous around the
Domes ranch. They are going
to be at the fairs with some
Hampshire hogs that will be an
attraction. Oregon Agriculturist
