' ' " KNOTTY QUESTION Irvingtoil Residents "Kick" Ovei-Water-supply. The residents of Irvlttgton Addition are divided on the water supply question, One side prefers Bull Run water, the other prefers the mains to be connected with the Albina system. The present supply is drawn from the Albina plant. Recently some of the cltlxens of Irving ton represented to the water committee that the pressure of the Bull Run water was too light, for those who happened to be so fortunate as to live in two-story housea, .wlth the bath upstairs; and those who have lawns to sprinkle saw a water famine for. next summer. Acting .on this showing, the water com mittee granted the request to connect Irv lngtbn with the Albina water works, and believed that the vexed water question was settled: But, Judging from the mur muring of discontent that are wafted In from the-r Peninsula, -the committee has misjudged, . and those at Irv'ington w"ho live in , two-story houses and have lawns are not .. the ., "whole show." Those who live on the ground floors and have not onough yard to convert Into a lawn are dissatisfied with the change. They sigh for the dw, sparkling Bull Run water. They any the Albina distillery turns out' murky goods; the humble housewives are accused of making bad coffee because the water 1 full of sediment. Then, those who live In upper stories don't realise that 4he sediment settles down from the higher compartments, and leaves an al luvial deposit below. What will become, of the question is not easily ''foreseenr'. The water committee members are disposed to please their pa trons, and would like to connect Irving ton With both systems, but for the. sake of the order and -dignity ;of the commu nity, they are afraid to mix he 'drinks.

GOOSE HUNTING How It Proved Expensive for L R. (iorham. 7 . - A really good story Is told on L. B. Gorham, the commercial agent of the Rock island and ex-chlcken ranch man. Whether It Is true or not makes little dif ference, because some of his co-missionaries In the freight traffic field Insist that It Is true, and Gorham wouldn't think of such a thing aa placing himself on record as disputing their word. The story-reads to the effeot that once while Gorham was up In the - Patouse country a boy came rushing Into, a coun try etore where the ranroad man was sit ting enjoying himself with the proprie tor's cob pipe and some free-for-all to bacco. ."There's a flock of geese down yonder in the pond," exoltedly shouted the tow-beaded urchin whose : trousers were held hp by one suspender, kept in place with a shingle nalL 'Where.7" Inquired ! the Rock Island's commercial agent as he quietly borrow ed some of the tobacco In. the cigar box For a smoke some other time.

' Regardless of the fact that he was pil ing up dust on his patent leathers, the man who has so succesfully shot tariff sheets into pigeon holes before the days of the Interstate Commerce Commission, started off at a stiff pace.
