A fellow said to me one day,
“If what you say is true
About your line of ancestry.
Why you must be a Jew.”
Said I, "Old-timer, guess again.
You’ve got the answer wrong;
We come from fine old Irish stock,
We're Irish good and strong.”
"Of course the people all were
drowned
Except old George and sons,
And Noah surely was a Jew.
For so the legend runs;
But you have overlooked a bet
While groping in the dark—
There were two Irish monkeys, sir.
Who sailed in Noah’s Ark."
"And to these noble ancestors
Our pedigree does reach;
We still with greatest reverence
Use much of monkey speech;
We often say, 'Ah hah’ for 'yes’;
‘Uh-uh,’ when meaning 'no,'
And ‘Hmm,’ the monkey word for
‘what?’
When sleepy, ‘Oh hum ho’.”
"To idioms like these our race
Has resolutely clung;
We always use when practical
The parent monkey tongue.
And only just in one respect
Our imitation fails—
We felt compelled when civilized
To shed our monkey tails.”
"The blue blood of our family
Was got upon the square;
We did not buy nobility
Like many a millionaire;
And in the generations past
We’ve always left our mark
In memory of our ancestors
Who sailed in Noah’s Ark.”
WEEK’S WORK ON
SPRINGS BRINGS
7,200 GAL. FLOW
Flume Carrying Enough
Water to Supply Half of
City’s Users As Result
Chamber’s Expenditure
Though rain is Jacksonville’s
most needed relief, the local cham
ber of commerce accomplished the
next best thing last week by de
veloping and fluming two small
springs in the city's watershed
which has resulted, according to
an authoritative check, in a 7200-
gallon flow every 24 hours to the
city's reservoir.
Wednesday of this week, to quiet
conflicting reports being circulated
concerning usefulness of develop
ment work being carried on by the
chamber, Duke Lewis. Ray Wilson,
W. E. Childers, Charlie Dorothy
and Dan'l Shuss tested flow from
flume into pipeline intake and de
termined the 7200-gallon flow each
24 hours, which is approximately
enough to supply 40 families with
plenty of water for all domestic
uses, excluding irrigation. There
are about 100 water users con
nected at the present time, ac
cording to City Recorder Ray
Coleman.
Had the week's work—which
kept three men busy—been done
early in the season, it is easy to
figure benefits to the city's water
supply possible over a long period
of time, when the late-season flow
meets nearly half the city’s re
quirements. It is hoped that the
present flow will tide water users
over until first rains, and will elim
inate necessity for shutting off all
water for fire protection. Storage
in large reservoir is very low, with
little more than emergency reserve
left in the pond.
The Jacksonville Chamber of
Commerce authorized the work,
and employed Dan Shuss. Axel
Lundgren and Emil Roseman all
last week, while Shuss volunteered
his services early this week in cov
ering over the 1300 feet of flume
to keep leaves and debris from
stopping the flow. It is thought
a little more cleaning up and ditch
ing of springs would develop an
even greater flow, despite dryness
of the season, by those who have
looked over the watershed. Spring
water now flowing into wooden
pipeline is of exceptional quality,
being clear and cold.

Firearms Must Be
Registered Under
Newer Legislation
Of particular interest at the in
ception of hunting season in south
ern Oregon comes information
from Portland concerning regis
tration of certain weapons de
scribed as firearms. J. W. Ma
loney .collector of internal reve
nue, calls attention to the national
firearms act as follows:
"The term ‘firearms' as defined
in the national firearms act." said
Collector Maloney, “includes all
shotguns and rifles with barrels
less than 18 inches in length, any
other weapon, except a pistol or
revolver, from which a shot is dis
charged by an explosive, if such
weapon can be concealed on the
person, machine guns, and muff
lers and silencers.
"There are a number of shot
guns on the market which have
barrels less than 18 inches in
length that are sold under various
trade names, as handy guns, bur
glar guns, game-getters, etc.,
which come within the definition
of a firearm, under the act, and it
is necessary for them to be regis
tered by the owners with this of
fice
“Revolvers and pistols are not
subject to registration, nor rifles
or shotguns with barrels 18 inches
or more in length.
"All persons or firms owning
firearms which are subject to reg
istration should write the collector
of internal revenue, 210 Customs
house, Portland, Oregon, at once
for blanks on which to register the
same, as this must be done not
later than September 26, 1934.
“When these registered firearms
are transferred it will be necessary
for the purchaser to pay a transfer
tax of $200 to the federal govern
ment, and secure application
blanks for that purpose from the
collector of internal revenue.”
