George W. Thompson is home from a
two weeks' trip to the mountains. Life
among the tall uncut (with apologizes
to Geo. I. Hlocom) was very enjoyable,
but the return to the warmer climate of
the lower valley was too much for Mr.
Thompson and it required several dnys
for recuperation. Mr. Thompson reports
business very good for the summer mon
ths, better even than he expected. With
short-handed force the I'aris Fair
people are kept pretty busy.

Hydraulic Ram a Success.
J. R. Galligan, who resides on Indian
creek two miles south of town, finds a
hydraulic ram works successfully in
raising water from the low land on his
place, so he can use the water in his
house and for irrigating a garden. The
flow of water to operate the ram ha9 a
fall of nine feet. This would enable
the water to be raised 90 feet, but Mr.
Galligan's place requires but a 54-foot
raise. This ram brings up a half-inch
of water, or a gallon every minute, says
Mr. Gulligaii.
T'lere are man other ranches in the
valley where water could profitably be
raised with a ram. Other farmers who
have water on low lauds that is now
going to waste because it cannot be
made use f would do well to inquire '
into the cost and practicability of put
ting in hydraulic rams.
