$80,000.00 EXPENDED IN
18 MONTHS.
Bend's Gicut Growth In Last Yeni'
JIiim Necessitated Mun Iniprmc
incuts in Power I'lunt nnd
the Wulcr Sjstcm.
Remarkable Increases have been
mado by the Bend Water, Light &
Power Company since Juno 30, 191C,
to meet tho exceptional demand that
has been mado upon the company to
provide additional water and light
service. In almost eory depart
ment operated by tho Bend Water,
Light & Power Company tho patron
age and extensions hao been almost
doubled since Juno 30, 191C, and
trebled since Juno 30, 191G.
The company has been called upon
to oxpond approximately JSO.000 In
ater mid light extensions, nnd Im
provements, ull of which havo bceu
confined to the city, nnd the com
pany's employees havo been rushed
to keep npace with tho growing de
mands that havo como ab&ut with
tho growing of Bend's population.

At Juno 30, 191D, tho Bend Water,
Light & Power Company had 299
water and light customers In the city

jcar 1915 and tho fiscal year 1910, jtuc tUm Kot ll0 Ui.ue(it from the pre-
thoro was an Increase oi jzj wncei
nud light patrons, showing an In
crease of more than 100 per cent lu
,ono year. Tho Increase during the
present fiscal year bids fair to far
outstrip formed years, If the growth
in tho Inst six months can bo 'taken
ns a basis for an estimate. Tho num
ber of patrons being served with
light nnd water by the company now
approximates 1,000, and the demund
still remains strong.
Very cxteijslo Improvements havo
lipen nmilo In tho comimny's business
during tho lust jour. Tho great In-1
crenso In the demand for light and I
power during tho last 12 months has
necessitated the addition or a largo
amount of equipment to tho com
pany's power plant In town and tho
leasing of tho Steldl & Tweet power
plant. With tho addition this summer
of a 500-horsopower generator and
turblno unit, tho company is suppl
ing 1.C0O electric horsepower to tho
city, prlvnto persons and to the
Brooks-Scnnlon Lumber Company

ImptotcN Water Conditions.
In Its desiro to keep tho water for
tho city pure nud to moot every de
mand that Is made, tho Bend Water,
Light & Power Company this summer
extended its intako to a point about
two and a half miles up tho Des
chutes river, adding about 13,000
feet to Its main pipe, for tho con
oynneo of wator to tho city. In all,
tho company now has about 114,000
feet of pipe, of which approximately
50,000 feet Imb been luid sluco Juno
30. 191C.

INDIANS AND MEDICINE.
A Funny Way of Giving a Sitfk Child a
Dcia of Oil.
The. Indian, s:i.s tin- ltev. J. Illuc
In his book "The lied Indians of the
Plains," has the Ideu that an) Kind of
medicine In equally good fur nil com
plaints. He believes in drastic menu
uics, nnd unless he feels the effect of
the second dose of the medicine he
loses faith In It and gl eg up taking it.
lie prefers purgnthes uhd emetic, but
ecn In them the Indian is wont to
discriminate, nnd he thltiLg castor nil
la especially "good medicine "
Very often mothers would send to
the mission for castor ull for their In
fants nud then couio the nevt duy nnd
complain that the medicine had nut op.
crated and that the child hud done
nothing hut cry cut since it took the
medicine. Then my wife would pour
out another tcnspouuftil nnd hand It to
the mother nnd request her to udmlu
lstcr It In her presence. The child
would object, as most children do, and
thnt part of the oil that left the spoon
would trickle down the cheek of the
child.
The mother, partly to lcniove the oil
and partly to pacify the child, would
Fhe the child n kins thnt covered the
whole of Its cheek and In ho doing
would remote the oil with her Up and
swallow It herself. Then nlte would
lick the spoon dean, huud It buck to
my wife, and that Is the way Indian
women gho castor oil to their children
