EUREKA USES WE'LL WATER.
Abundance of Supply May Result in
Sewer System.

Eureka, March 1.-THE city water
patrons are being supplied with water
from wells recently sunk by the city
near the pumping station. The water is
pure and clean and much better and
healthier than that heretofore furnished
from Fail river TWO large wells supply
the town with $50 gallons a minute.
Sewerage agitation in Eureka has pre-
viously been checked owing to the scar

months. 1t is thought these wells will
meet the demands and sewerage sys-
tenn is probable for Eureka The town
has already been surveyed for laying
mains and a majority of the councilmeu
favor the project.

a decided Improvement in that partic
ular. In rearranging the time card the
officials have sought to have the trains
reach the principal points along the lir e
at times most convenient for the traffic
of these places, and at the same time 10
make the best possible connections with
other trains The officials believe that
the present schedule will meet all the
requirements. The time card as it will
be adopted will be as follows:
The Chicago special leaves Portland
at s 80 a. m, instead OF 9:2O. The Spo.
kane flyer leaves Portland at :45 in
stead of 6. The Atlantic express leaves
Portland at S15 a. m., as heretofore.
The Chicago-PortIand special arrives at
Portland at 5 80 instead of 4 80. The
Portland flyer No. 3, from Spokane, ar
rives al a. m., instead of 7:35 The
Pacific express, now No. II, arrives at
Portland at 9 :45 instead Of 10 80.
The new schedule brings the trains
from the east into Portland earlier in the
morning. Such change will no doubt
be pleasing one to the business men of
the city who addressed communca.
tion to the railroad people short time
ago asking il the morning trains could
not be gotten here earlier, that mail
might be delivered IN time for the ship
pers to fill the orders the same day re-
ceived. A particularly noticeable fea-
ture of the new time card is the arrange
ment for the Spokane train, both from
Umatilla and Pendleton, to connect with
through trains from the east at these
places.
