MAY GET MILL ANYWAY Whether the Falls City, Lumber Company moves its mill to Independ ence or not, a mill will be established here, without doubt, if the Oregon Electric crosses the river at this place, which seems more than prob able at this time. If It transpires that at bridge is constructed across th river at this place, Falls City may be willing to pay for the prlvllge of establishing the mill here Instead ........ of expectng $50,000 from the city. STAY OF EXECUTION The Humphrey brothers who were recently found guilty of mur der In the first degree at iCbrvaills, last week, will probably live to take fThanksglvling dinner at the expense Of the state, as Govenor West will no submit to their execution until after the question of capital punishmemt la voted on at the general election In November.

ENCOURAGE IT Irrigation, according to a statement of Sloper Brothers, who have given It a fair trial, should be encouraged In- the Willamette valley. Messrs. Sloper put In a small plant last year as am experiment and the result proved so far beyond their expectatloi that they have installed a larger and better system which they expect to paw for by the increase or one season's hop crop. If this Is a correct statement, and we have no reason to doubt It, every farmer amd every dairyman can well afford to install an Irrigation plant. The expense we are told, will not exceed $600, and at this ratte will more than pay for itself In a year. Had No Expense Last Saturday was the last day can didates for nomination lhad In which to file their expense account, and those who fadled are subject to fine. A. L. Sperling, Sam Hanna, amd A. Addison, had no expense attached to their candidacy for constable there fore filed no account. Mr. Sperling made the best run, hawing received four votes, Mr. Hanna received two votes and Mr. Addison, one. John nie Moran, the regular camdtdarte on the ticket secured the nomination. SUGGESTS PLAN FOR WATER Falls City Invites Independence and Monmouth to Take the Mountain Water. No city li Oregon has better water or a more abundant supply In pro pmUvt to population, t han Falls City. Tht 24 hour dally capacity of the two mountiitu sprii gs of the system Ih 2."0,000 g illouH, On tho basis of a daily consumption, per Inhabitant, of tweiity gin Ions, o r 1,200 people ue 21.H0J gallu'is dally, leaving a Biirpius t 22fJ.0'J0 gallons, or enough to sup ply over 0,000 people. The WOO people of Monmouth and iha 2,100 ef I idePuIence could use J0 0OO gallons daily wul tliere would still remain a surplus of over 100,000 gallons, Both Moi mouth and Independence ar; trying to devis-j an Improved sys tem of water supply. A combination of this kind would alno be a mighty good business prop osition for all parties concerned. It wmld sei'in to be entirely feas ible for our two neighbors to run t pipe line from the 10 Inch main of the FallsC'lty system to these owns, and thus secure an abundant supply of better than excellent water s'. a much lower cost Cian by independent systems.

Huf" have formed a partnership a.nd will embark In business as soon as the building is ready. Both of these gentlemen have had long experience In the hardware business, are well liked aid will, no doubt, meet with success In this growing city. ANOTHER SYSTEM Diamond and Riggs of Portland installed a larger vacuum pumping system at the, boat house last week for the purpose of demonstrating to farmers and hop men that the mew Invention will do all that is claimed for It. Their efforts proved very satis factory and will be the means of establishing several private water sys terns Oin farms In this vicinity. The Demons Of The Swamp. are mosqultos. As they sting they put deadly malaria germs in the blood. Then follow the Icy chills ad the fires of fever. The appetite flies the strength falls; also malaria often paves the way for deadly ty phoid. But Etectric Bitters kill and cast out the malaria germs from the blood; give you a fine appetite and renew your strength. 'After long suf fering,' wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Luca ma, N. C, 'three bottles drove all the malaria from my system, and I've had good health ever since. 'Best for all stomach, liver and kidney ills. 60 cents at all druggists. NO OPPOSITION Prof. Fred Crowley, who served the nomination for county Super intendant of schools on the Demo cratic Ticket, without an effort on his part, has expressed an un willingness to run. This leaves no op position for Mr. Seymour in the Nov ember Campalgm. EQUALED BY NONE Bice and Cailbreath's store is near- ing completion. It is mot only an improvement in appearence, but in convenience, and Is certainly a credit to the enterprising business men above mentioned. Their store today is equaled by none in Polk County and few to the stata MONMOUTH REJECTS BID3 Contractors' Wattr Proposals Con sidered Too High. The City Council of Monmouth open ed bids lor the construction of (iin n w wa tr system Saturday, the :lme advertised to let the contract, but the bids were rejected as un reasonably hlgi. Koine contractors .res tit refjHed to submit bids, alleg ing that the supply firms and other ;ontractors had combined to pad prices. This unexpected turn In the work )f the Council f r the new water sys em Is considered a disappointment, since members hi e be n working m the matter for a year. However, council and mayor Sy there will be but little, if aiy delay in . putting in the entire system, as . ey have of ers f-ora reHPonslLle co'- tractors to do the work wt much P'ss ttwi bids submitted.
