- secure the names of all who are
in favor of a one and a half mill
tax to cover the expenses of buy
ing land and buildings for the

ested in the movement Then
at the next meeting they would
ask the county court to levy the
tax, which if legal, would have

GOVERNMENT MAY INSTALL
BIG IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Rumors are afloat that the
government is considering the
installing of a gigantic irrigation
system in the vicinity of Dayville
and Clarno ferry on the John
Day river where the river flows
between precipitous bluffs. In
the . event of the construction
of a dam, it will not be
a difficult feat because of the
natural condition of the bluffs
and the width of the river, and
the water could be easily
dammed to back up for the pur
pose of flooding the hay fields
and could be used for distribu
tion, it is said over large areas
of land in the four counties of
Gilliam, Wheeler, Sherman ' and
Morrow. The Dalles Chronicle.

' Dr. Arthur A. Keen Says.
Tbe Eye being a delicate organ
demands tba attention of the moat
(killed Optician in case of refrac
tive error, or Occulist in caie of
organio affection. The public
ibould be especially warned
against persona who impudently
assume the title of Expert when it
is a fact that tbey never saw the
idiide of an Optical College, hence
are not qualified to detect the
many and various kinds of refrac
tive errors. An expert to assume
this title legally must be a grad
uate in Optica. To avoid the poss
ibility of the publio being misled
by unfair and untrue inferences, I
wish to state that my title is not
assumed, but was conferred on me
by the faculty of one of tbe best
optical colleges in this country.
Remember, wben you have paid a
big price for a rough guess, wbicb
has made matters worse, call and
see a Scientific Optician. .

Graduate Optician.

go by a common handle when you can aguire the title of
Doctor at a bargain, it may help you to fleece the Public.
