EVERY ORCE
W A WHILE
We hear some sour-disposltioned cuss complaining that
nowadays the average man has no chance to make a success in
any line of effort. BUNK! Oo into any line you want \n
select, pick out any successful man you care to and you will
find that not so vary long ago he was an average man.
For instance Mr. W. F. Baldwin is one of the average
men and he is making a success in caring for the Eskimo Or
phans and so is Miss Saville making a success operating th“
Maynard Columbus Hospital. The good work lifting done by
Miss Saville and Mr. Baldwin needs a little assistance from
ev»-ry good citizen in this town. Old Cicero was one of the
wisest men of his time. For Instance ho wild "Touch is the
keenest of all senses” and we admit that he must of been right,
because we have been touched so, bhumed often that we really
never know when it happens. And we are willing to again be
touched, to aid and assist the aliove named institutions.

JETTY REP'AIR WORK FINISHED
tion of the Snake River jetty lias been
completed insofar as the timber work
is concerned, the lust piles being ham
long gap torn in the jetty as a nesult
of the stnurture being undermined
during the flood Inst fall has been
covered by a partial reconstruction of
the jetty and an extension of the re
vetment work. The structure is
somewhat different in appearance but
is apparently much stronger than be
fore. The work has been done in the
most thorough manner and to ail ap
pearances should withstand a .siinilur
flood without damage. During the
pa-st week Engineer Cnrpenter has ad
ded further to the strength of the re
vetment work by reinforcing the wall
below the water line in Snake Rdver
with sacks of sand and cement mix
ture placed in such manner as to
protect the piling from future under
mining processes and ice damage.
When this is completed the structure
wail he about as strong as It can he
made with timber materials.
Owing to- the departure of the last
boats heing imminent, no effort will
be made to resume work on the con
struction of the west jetty this year.
The work wiM be constructed next
spring and the entire construction will
probabl> be completed by nex- fail.
