Dufur again made the firit ban

Elton allppcd a long one through

The trip to Dufur waa without ac

SPILLS AND THRILLS
Coasting proved a joyous
after the rero weather. Most every
young perron came out for a few
swift rides over Maupin's many
slopca. Several hills were used but
the moat popular was tho grade be
low Mr Turner's. Joe Kramer broke
tha trail with , tho tractor and the
snow plow.
Thunday night, although it was
rather dark, the track was smooth
and hard. . Orville furnished several
old truck tires for beacons at tho
darkest turns to provide light.
One of the thrills of the long ride
was right at thc bottom of the hill
where the bank suddenly slopes off.
When a speeding sled hit the brink
of this It.literally "took off." Going
vp was thrilling but coming down
waa smashing.
Looking back over the short but
joyous season, the coarters can only
lament its pasning and hope for an
equally cold but longer coasting sea
son next year.

The hLtory class has lately com
pleted a thousand word theme on the
"Reconstruction Period." '
This was chosen tha subject for
cureful atudy because of the great
Importance of the period of adjust
mcut following the Civil war, and the
el feet on the present government
Methods of reconstruction were
taken up by Abraham Llucoln, but
because of his asssr sin&tion he waa
not fible to carry out his plans. How
ever, a rnan that lacked the great
ability of Lincoln, the vise-president,
AnJr'w Jackson, did his best to ful
fill these plans. In conrequence, the
period was filled with strife be
tween Congress, and Johnson.
The difficulty went as far as tb?
impreachment of Johnson, but fall
ed, through a lack of one vote.

From Tho Dalloo
At last the citv fathers of Mannin
have gotten down to actual work oa
the new reservoir, work on which
will begin at once. Thomas Baird,
an experienced reservoir builder of
The Dalles, has been designated as
superintendent of the work, and he
will bring a powder man as well aa
a man experienced in rock work with
him. Other labor required will be
recruited from Maupin workers.
The new reservoir will be 70
feet square and will have a mean
depth of 10 feet. Considerable rock
will have to be taken out on the
east side in order to give the big
tank level floor. When completed
he reservoir will have a capacity of
iOO.OOO gallon?!. The old reservoir
las proved to be too small for Mau-
loss of considerable water through '
seepage. '
It is the intention of those having
the work in charge to employ an air
compressor m drilling operations.
A mchine for that work will be se
cured at The Dalles. When the
rock has been excavated to the re.
quired depth the walla and floor ot
the reservoir will be concreted and
made as sanitary as possible. The
compressor arrived yesterday and
workmen have begeun oetting it up.
It ia figured the reservoir can be
built at a cost not to exceed $5,000.

The chinook has raised cain with

floes of ice to come down river and
jam at various points. The ice be
gan moving Saturday and by Sun
day morning a huge field had ar
rived at the lower bridge, the one
over the highway. An eye witness
to the flow of the jam says the
river raised a foot a minute for
some time and that ice was piled
mountain high in places. At the
Peck place on the lower flat the

the ice field wan diverted across the
river and covered the opposite flat
to a height of several feet The
moving jam tore trees up by the
roots and in other places snapped
off trees having a diameter of 14
inches. The current of the river
opened a channel under the ice, thus
preventing a flood, which had it not
been unobstructed, would have
covered the Peck place and other
ranches below.
The power plant at White river
falls was ceriously handicapped by
the ice flow and men were kept at
work diverting it over the falls and
away from the wheels of the plant.
This jam is said to have been the
heaviest ever known on White river.
Carried along by the jam were
many pieces of bridges stringers,,
