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

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.

"! 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.
