GO UP MILL CREEK FOR WATER
Veteran Councilman Will Ask that Weile's Rec
concentrations Be Submitted to Vote of
People at the July Election
Through With Thomson

"At the next meeting Of the city
council I propose to introduce a reso-
gineer Otto Weile for securing a grav-
ity water system for the city of Walla
Walla be considered and that the
same be submitted to the people for
approval or rejection at the city elec-
tion to be held in July. 1 believe the
only avenue left for Walla Walla to
secure an adequate gravity water sys-
tenn is along the lines recommended
by Engineer Weile--to take water from
Mill creek at point ten or twelve
miles above the city, pass it through
big filtration beds to insure it's purity,
pipe it to big reservoirs located on
the Thomas ranch and thence to some
common distributing point in Walla
Walla. I am in favor of relieving En-
sponsibility, filling up the holes dug
On the Harbert ranch and charge the
expense. incurred there to experience.
We have wasted a whole year through
Mr.. Thomson, and I for one am in
favor of taking up and thoroughly in
vestigating the scheme recommended
by Engineer Weile"
These are the declarations and opin-
ions expressed by Councilman Will
liam Glasford to a Statesman repre-
sentative this morning. Councilman
Glasford declared that he is tired and
sick of the "dilly dallying" methods
employed to secure for Walla Walla
an adequate gravity water system.
Engineer Thomson, he declared, should
be relieved of any further RESPONSE
bility and that the scheme recon-
mended by Engineer Weile for secur-
ing a water system was the only one
presenting an iota of feasibility and
that it should be submitted to the
people to be voted on at the next city
election, which will be held in July.

following congratulations to Togo:
THE enemy's second and third
squadrons successfully overcoming diff
ficulties attending the voyage east
ward, showed themselves no mean an
tagonists, but your squadron intercept
ing them in advance of their destina-
ton put them to confusion and de-
stroyed or captured nearly all their
vessels. Your victory does not end
here. You captured the enemy's COM
mander in chief. 1t is most gratifying
for our national cause that you achieve
such a victory. We send congratula-
tions. We take occasion to praise the
virtue of the emperor, to thank you
and those under you for the arduous
service extending over so many months
and to express sympathy for the killed
and wounded"

ST. PETERSBURG, May 31.-Gen-

that news of Rojestvensky's defeat has
spread through the army of Manchuria
and the soldiers are now in open re-
volt. They declare the war must be
ended Linevitcn points out that un-
der such conditions the continuation
Of the war is impossible.
Linevicth reports that his cavalry
on May "a captured a Japanese pro-
vision transport near Gangowsti.
All Russia is stunned by the news of
the completeness of the disaster.
Nearly all ships not sunk have been
captured. The Almaz alone was
saved. Crowds surround the bulletin
boards and weep as they listen to the
pitifui details. Everywhere the pres
ent regime is denounced. Nova
Vremya demands that the people take
the affairs of state in their own hands.
Grand Duke AleXleff's organ Slovo
says that Russia has had calamities
enough. 1t demands a change in the
regime that will give the country
peace. Rumors are spreading that the
cZar intends to abdicate.
The grand dukes will mold a meet
ing tonight. A conference of minis
ters and prominent generals was held
at Tsarkoeselo this afternoon Minis
ters, generals and admirals interview
ed today say that Russia has lost her
sea power for half a century to come.
They think that peace will come i'm
mediately and that England and Am
erica will help to modify Japan's de-
mands. They think internal reforms
will bring about a regeneration Of
Russia.

SEVERAL OF THEM KNOWN TO Be DEAD

MONTROSE, Colo, May 31.-A res
cue party is expected to reach q en-
torcbed workmen in the Gunnison tun-
mel at 10 this morning. 1t is believed
several are dead. The body of an un-
known workman was discovered in
the tunnel this morning, but before it
could be removed another Gavin buried
it. Two workmen caught in the tim
bers were heard calling for help. The
entombed men are $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel directly under
the bed Of Cedar creek. Their names
are unknown.
The rescue shaft reached the en-
tombed men at noon. Twenty one
were hoisted out alive. Edward
Schulter and Floys Woodruff are dead.
Four are still in the tunnel injured.

By submitting it to the people at that
time the expense of holding a special
election would be done away with and
the sentiments of the voters would be
determined at a date early enough to
admit of the council taking some
action almost Immediately toward pro-
ceeding with the work, if the scheme
was endorsed.
Councilman Glasford is not the only
member of the council who feels that
the work prosecuted on the Harbert
ranch under the direct supervision Of
Engineer Thomson has been a fiat
failure, as far as developing sufficient
water for a gravity system is con-
cerned. The fact was thoroughly es-
tablished that there is an underlying
strata Of hard rock that would prove
an almost unsurmountable obstacle If
the council should determine to pro-
-ceed with the work of developing an
Underground flow at that point. Sew
cral members of the council however,
are inclined to defend the course pur-
Sue i by Engineer Thomson inasmuch
a.; the work was done with the ap-
proval of the administration. They
argue that if the test wells had not
been sunk on the Harbert ranch to de-
termjne the underground flow and that
if any other scheme for securing a
gravity system was evolved and car
ried out and did not prove the sue
cess that it should, there would al
rays have been a feeling that the
council was derelict in not using every
means possible to secure an UNDER
ground flow, sufficient for a gravity
system. While the amount of money
spent in sinking the test wells is large.
one member of the council said this
morning that it was money we'll spent
inasmuch as it would deter any future
councils from experimenting for un-
derground water

been more significant than this, and

more completely than do, that the en-
