Lebanon Eipress. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor - and - Proprietor. City Official Paper. WATER WORKS. Messrs. Rawlings & Dubruillo, the energetic gentlemen who have wtahliirfied the electric light plant in Lebanon, which is ac knowledged to be the very best in the state, have submitted a propo sition to the city council for the construction of a first-class y8tem of wuter works to cost in the neigh borhood of ten thousand dollars. We are in favor of all public improvements which will conduce to the comfort and convenience of : our citizens, and we believe the proposition of Rawlings & Du bruillo is well worthy of the serious consideration of those interested in the welfare of thcmaterial interests of Lebanon. The construction of these works will afford our citizens a never fail ing supply ot pure mountain water, : which from a sanitary point of view would be a grand improve ment over the surface wells from which our water supply is at pres ent d:awn, and which are more or leas affected by the rains, and by impurities imparted through a lack of the necessary sewerage. In addition to this a system sf hydrants placed at convenient dis tances, where there are no cisterns would be so advantageous in case of tire that it requires no argument to set forth the great security it would afford to property, while the - rates of insurance would positively , he lowered from 15 to 20 per cent as t.'ie following letter fully ex plains: Albany, Ore-.'onJ y- t'eb.

' . ' ' Vcrv truly yours, 1 AfiMKBS & MkrCHAHTB Co, Byi. 0. WaiKMAN, Hecretary. We huvejust been passingthrough quite a siege of "dull times," but we think the dawn of a bright er Jay is coming and with the change for the better Lebanon will be among the first to be ready to grasp any golden opportunity that may offer. - The construction of the projected system of water supply will afford labor to a great manv 'unemployed'-' men. The money is airjady in sight to pay for this labor. Eight or ten thous and dollars will be distributed amone the people of this city by the erection of these works, a pure supply of water furnished our citi zens and great additional ecciiritv guaranteed our property. We be speak lor this enterprise a favor able consideration bv our Honor able Mayor and - City Council and bv the citizensof Lebanon. Government ownership of trans portation, telegraph and telephone lines has been tried by a number of countries, none of which have greater interests and greater re sources than this, and whose people are not a whit more intelligent and enterprising than the people of this country, and in every instance success has been the result. It follows then that, as the resources and intelligence of this country is equal and even superior to those of the countries that have tried the experiment of owning and operat ing such lines, our success would be as great or greater than that that has crowned their efforts. Ex. The Pendleton Tribune has formed itself intoa sort of one-horse , accident insurance society, and of fers $100 to any person meeting cath from accidental causes with i opy of that paper on his person. ' b would be entirely inadequate. , vould be worth more than a i -Jred dollars to diein such com- "! Statesman. The Aatorian refers to Governor Pennover as "the Animated Veto," Members of the Militia call him Gov. Annoyer." The democratic party is split up, the republican party is ripped up, and the people's party is "few and far betweon." Where are we at, anyhow? . - The Oregonian is making some very good pictures now. The only trouble is that some of them don't look much like the men and objects they are labeled to represent. Statesman. The Statesman's own pictures are not such an improvement on the Oregonian's as the Statesman wishes people to think. The state tax levy has not yet been made. It will be as large or larger than two years ago. About all this legislature did was to vote appropriations, create offices and impose taxes. The money will be late and slow getting into the treas ury; but it will be very fast getting out of there. The levy will proba bly be five mills or moie. The people of this state have positive reason to dread any more sessions of the legislature like this one. The composition of it was good enough, hut the influences that or ganized it and controlled were promiscuous m the extreme. Jour nal. No act of President .Harrison's administration will cover him with more glorv and add to his endur ing fajie, than the annexation of the bandwich Islands. The acqui sition of territory made by former presidents are the presidents are the brightest laurels ' they wear. Florida, the Louisiana purchase, by which claim was first laid to Oregon, Texas and the Mexican purchase, Alaska, turritory of ines timable value, were all acquired by purchase or conquest, and add fame to the presidents under whose administrations they were annexed. The voice of the country will sup port President Harrison in his efforts to acquire these fair islands of the Pacific, the key to the com merce between America and Asia in case of war.
