A genuine spirit of improvement has struck the city of Lexington and surrounding territory, and no small amount of the profits realized dur ing the past season from the excellent wheat crop, are being put into re pairs and improvements of a per manent nature. These improve ments are not confined alone to the little city, but are reaching out Into the country, and the farmers are get ting the spirit, building new homes and putting in water systems and otherwise beautifying the surround ings and making the country a more pleasant place in which to live. This paper is Informed by Karl Beach, of Beach & Allyn, that they have beet quite busy the past six weeks in stalling water systems and among those who are adding this conven ience to their residences, we mentlo John McMillan, Neal White, B. 8 Clark and G. L. McMillan. These parties have put in complete water systems and have their homes well and conveniently supplied in a mod ern way. A number of other farm ers who have good wells are put ting in pumping plants and many of them getting ready to. have the water properly installed in their houses. New residences and other buildings are either building or in contemplation and the coming Spring months will witness lots of activity in this line. Among those in the country who have begun construction work is George White who is now pouring the concrete for his elegant new farm home and will have the basement of the structure completed within a very few days. Henry John son & Sons, of Heppner, have the con tract for putting up this new home, which, when completed, will be one of the very finest farm residences in Morrow county. The plans for this dwelling were furnished by Tum-a-Lum Lumber Co., of Lexington and they have also furnished the material going into it. Mr. White will have every modern convenience installed and a home that he will justly he proud of. It is a pleasure to be able to chronicle such substantial im provements and to record the tact that so many of the farmers arc. now reachlrg the financial condition that will permit of them improving their farm homes and making them attrac tive.' Nothing speaks louder of the prosperity of the country. Have Potato Planting Day. ' Realizing the fact that potatoes have become a luxury as well as one of the necessary staples of the every day food supply, the Ladles' Aid of the Congregational church gathered at their headquarters on Wednesday last and organized themselves and their friends into a potato plantng club. They have a lot of consderable size on which the house is located where the Society holds Its meetings. and they conceived the idea that it would be a profitable Investment to plant the lot to potatoes and thus lay the foundation, at least, for a for tune. With this Idea in view, the ladies gathered and begun the work, providing in the meantime, a sump tuous dinner which was served tp the laborers at noon, and having so a bundantly prepared for this feature thore was plenty left over for supper which was Berved and greatly enjoy ed after the completion of the day's labor. The lot now being nlanted. tho tadles will watch the spuds grow Into dollars. Henry Zochard who recently pur chased some lots from Mrs. Penland on Knob Hill, has just finished a well and will shortly begin the erection of a residence and expects to complete one of the neatest homes In the town. Putting Up Concrete Pump House. Lexington Water Companyy, W. G. Scott, proprietor, has just recently completed a new well. This was bor ed a short distance from the old one and is 300 feet deep and furnishes an abundance of good, pure water. A new pumping plant is being Installed and Mr. Scott will enclose the same with a concrete building, constructed with a view to being entirely sani tary and insuring Lexington a water system second to none in the county. A waive of patriotism has spread over the community and a number of the young men have already gone forth to enlist in the Navy. H. L. McAllster has taken his departure for Portland with the avowed Inten tion of joining the army for the country's defense. He is a Spanish War veteran and has always heW himself In readiness to enlist in the service of the country. The impres sion prevails that there will bo a number more answer their country's call for volunteers. K. L. Beach Is having a new fence of neat design put up around his resi dence property. Karl stands in Hie front rank of the progressive citizens of Lexington.
