H. f. Shultz, who was i'm charge of
the construction work on the Pendle-
ton sewer system, and who is now
constructing the new water system for
Athena, was here yesterday upon a
short visit
In speaking of the work at Athena,
Mr.. Shultz said: AT present we are
developing the springs to learn the
amount of water that can be secured
There are several springs, and we are
uniting them. Thus far the outlook
is very favorable 1t is the desire to
secure 100000 gallons daily, and
though this amount has not yet been
secured, 1t is thought there will be
an ample amount to supply the needs
of the city"
The springs to be used for the new
system are on the Gallaher place,
about two miles from Athena, and a
5Qs000-gallon reservoir will be con-
structed near the source. From the
reservoir to the city there will be a
fall of $50 feet, which is said to be
sufficient to carry the water to any
part of Athena. The entire cost of
the system will be between $4,000
and $4,000. and the work is being
done by the city itself. with Mr..
Shultz as superintendent. According
to the latter the work will be COM
pleted by July /.
The plans for the Athena system
were made by G. NJ. Miller, with
whom Mr.. Shultz works in conjunc-
ton. Both men are said to be very
competent in such work, and have
placed water systems in many towns
of Eastern oregon and Washington.
Mr.. Miller is now at Colfax, Wash,
and within a short time will go to
Corvallis to work out a new water
system for that place.

1t was a. terrible struggle. Every mo-
