Mr. Lucas has purchased part of the II. C. .Kentner property at tho comer of Laurel and Tenth streets, the site of the building burned a short time ago and will at ouco connuenco the erection of a residence thereon. When Mr. Lucas came to the Med ford charge ho was undecided as to whether he would remain here or not. His Michigan congregation refused to release him unconditionally, but gave him leave of absence for several months, so that he might niako up his mind as to the desirability of n change. The fact that he has start ed work toward milking a permanent home here indicates that his decis ion has been made. Re,v.

MODOC RESIDENTS WAKEN YEARS LATE KLAMATII FALLS, Or., Dec. 22 After several years of apparent lethargy, it bus been discovered by the authorities of Modoc county, Cal., that there is some 30,000 acres of laud within that county that can bo irrigated from Clear Lake. Clear Lake is the reservoir for tho Upper Klnmath project and will supply wat er for approximately C0,000 acres of Oregon land under tho Upper Klara nth project. It is the intention of tho Californinns to muko an attempt to hnvo tho waters of Clear Luke di verted from the Klamath project. The matter is not taken seriously by many of the land owners undor tho Klnmath project. In tho first place it is doubted if thoro is so vast an ir rigable nrca in tho California coun ty, and in the next plnco it is gener ally believed that the Klamath pro ject is too far advanced to bo drop ped for a problematical undertaking. If you dont already know, its my gns lights nnd mantle lamps you havo been reading so much about lately. There is bo much talk about them they must be good. Invostigato. J. W. Whitney, 211 West main. Next door to Roguo River Electrio Co. of fice. 235 "That remiuds me" mused McCutch- con, "In my office up the street, I've gotj everything so handy there, that workintr is a treat. I've got labor saving systems nnd telephones and cool electric laus. "That reminds me" says McCutcheon "Wliv should I have all the simps? With my wife nt home, a strugglin' with n lot o' handicaps, n' fussiu' round with smoky lamps an' gas an' gasoline An' get tin, all woru out with ped alling thnt old machine." "That reminds, me" snys McCutcheon "my wife s birthday s coram soon She's lookin' sick nnd weary nnd slio's getting pale and thin, I'd like to get her something that'l help her health to win." "That reminds me" says McCutcheon "mv wife's goin' away to visit, An' I have struck upon a notion that is not so dusty, is it? While she's gone I'll wire the house up from the garret to the ground. An' we'll have a home electric' time her birthday comes around. So Mao got awful busy, while his frnu was out of town And blew himself for "everything electric," money down. Electrio fixtures, reading lamps, all gleaming bright and clean, And flat irons, heaters, chafing dish and motor run machine. You should havo seen' the face on Mrs. Mao when she reached home And saw her huso electrified and nnd snied the lovely dome (That hung within tho dining room) all beautiful and bright She could only gaze in rapture at tho brilliancy of light. If ever husband made a hit, Mc Cutcheon was tho boy, His wife was half hysterical with happiness and poy. She tried tho rions and chafing dish and started up tho fan And liko a happy child, around her electric room she ran. And it is nothing now unusual to hear the neighbors sav "Siuco Mrs. Mao got 'lectrified she's vouneer overv dav." And, no wonder, for her drudgery don't take up all tier hie Like it usod to when McCutcheon had a non-electric wife. P. S. Mr. Man-with-nn-unwired-iouho: Why not mako a hit with your wife, liko McCutcheon did with lis? P. S. Mrs. Ditto: Read tho poem out loud to him.
