For thiltrrn years. no question has
been raised as To the sanitary quality of

After More Water at Baker City.

w. o. Reynolds. city water superin-
tendent, was in yesterday from the
pipe line construction now in pro-
gress on Big Salmon and Marble
creeks. He has thirty men in two
camps pushing the work to a compile
ton. 1t will be two and possibly
three weeks before the work is COM
pleted. In the meantime from one
stream he has turned in about six
inches of water. This, with the pre-
vaillng cool nights, has made 1t pos
sible to resume street sprinkling
from the various street stands in
stead of taking part of the supply
from an irrigation ditch.
Mr.. Reynolds says that with the
completion of the present source of
supply the dryest season will find the
city with II supply sufficient for all
purposes, The city owns other rights
which can be made to more than
double the present supply when re-
quired.-Baker city Democrat.

So urgent has become the need of
a certain Identification or dangerous
criminals that every state is striving
to find a new and infallible method.
r. p. Daniels of Brooklyn, N. Y, a
well known prison reform worker and
student of criminology. who spent last
night in the city on his way from San
Quentin Cal, to Walla Walla, says
that California officials are now
adopting at San Quentin prison, the
DePue finger print system of identifi-
cation, by which it is said to be impos-
sible to make a mistake in the denti-
ty of a criminal
Mr.. Daniels attended the recent
meeting of Charities and Correction
society in Portland and visited the
Oregon penitentiary a few weeks ago
in the study of prison methods. He
found conditions at the Oregon prison
to be highly commendable and many
degrees better than in eastern prisons.
which he visits in his work of REFORM
In speaking of the DePue method of
Identification Mr.. Daniel said to the
East Oregonian:
THE ssytem includes the method
of F. II. DePue. formerly a turnkey
at Folsom, which has been used in
connection with the Bertlllon for
years. With the imprint of the fin
gers on paper and the DePue cross
section photograph a criminal once
listed can always be identified There
is no change in finger prints
Each of the prisoners was brought
into the Identification room at san
Quentin and the fingers were linked,
one at n time. and the imprints made
arranged according to number. After
the fingers had been imprinted the
four fingers of each hand were i'm
printed together. so II a difficulty is
later experienced in decipherlng those
taken separately a microscopic exam
nation of the four will determine to
which hand any other belongs.
The prisoners name and number
is placed on the Identification slip.
and with it his photograph is filed.
IN this way, it is asserted by DePue,
there can &c no possible chance for
criminal being mistaken once he is
subjected to the system.
After the use of the DePue finger
print method has been established the
Bertillon system, first installed on the
coast at San Quentin, will be abolish
ed. Apparatus has been procured so
it will not be long until this takes
place
"The finger print method of iden-
tification was first employed by the
Chinese 700 years before Christ. and
is the method used in Scotland Yard
work. 1t has been a success in all
criminal work because of its infali-
bility, as, the experts assert, once the
corrugations of skin are formed on
finger there will be no change
through life.
"a recent case Of the success of the
system was recorded in the return of
two French criminals to Paris after
they had fled to London, by comparing
the finger prints found on a wine
bottle used by the men in committing
murder in a Paris cafe. The incl
dent excited interest of criminologists
all over the world and may have been
material in causing the establishment
of the method in California prisons.
"As soon as the records are COM
pleted at San Quentin DePue and his
assistants will put the Folsom prison.
ers through the same process"
