People who have been afraid that
the city water is not as good as IL
should be. may now use the same
without fear, for it has been shown
by the bacteriologist for the state
board of health that the water is good
and devoid of anything injurious to
man.
Early In October a sample of the
city water was sent by DIR. c. ]. Smith,
member Of the state board OF health,
to Ralph C. Matson, assistant bacteri-
ologist, at Portland, for examination.
The report from that official has just
been received and the findings are
highly satisfactory. While the report
is so technical in nature that its pub
lication would be of no interest ex-
cept to professional men. the follow
ing extracts show something regarding
the analysis:
THE portions taken for examination
were transferred from the original
flask by means of sterile pipettes and
distributed in varying quantities .upon
plain agar in Pasteur's dishes and in
glucose and lactose bullion In Smith
fermentation tubes. The cultures
were grown at 81 degrees centigrade
and Il degrees centigrade. Colonies
were counted at the end of "a hours
aud As hours They were studied
under low power lenses, the shape.
color and character of growth was
noted, and from every variety of colo
ny inoculations were made upon such
medias as were necessary to deter
mine the species of the bacteria found.
"Inoculation experiments were not
carried out because the types were
distinctive enough without observing
them in the lower animals.
The temperature was considered very
important, for certainly a germ which
will not grow at 81 degrees centigrade
If ii grows at all, cannot cause disease
in man.
"All of the bacteria have been
marked out sufficiently to exclude
toxicogenic bacteria. The presence of
any of the species named is common
III water, and none are injurious to
man. b. Protoeue Is regarded by
some as indicative of pollution. but
only when the content is high. In this
case the content is ordinary. The
presence of decaying vegetable matter
near where the sample was collected,
would explain its presence"
The sample which was sent in by
Dr. Smith for analysis was taken from
the hydrant in his office about Octo-
Der l, and consequently was a fur
specimen of the water supply.
In speaking this morning of the Of
flcial analysis Dr. Smith said It clearly
showed that there could be no cause
Tor complaint against the present sup
ply, as II was found that the only in
furious bacteria found were those OF
such low temperature as to he
harmless to man. He was hot sur
prised at the favorable showing made.
Tor from the nature of the water
source, the fact that there is no CITY
or town on the river above Pendleton.
ana the fact that the water passes
over gravel bed before reaching the
pump station, he did not believe ther,.
could be anything wrong with the
water.
The analysis just made is the first
test that has ever been
made OF Pendleton water. Several
years ago chemical test was made nv
an eastern expert and showed fayoro-
bly,. However, the bacteriological test
IS regard as much the more definite
from hygienic standpoint.

FUNDS ARE SHORT.
Cost Of Reclamation Excels Available
Fund bY S3,OOO.OOO.

Eventually Secretary Hitchcock will
approve the recommendation of the
reclamation service that the Okanogan
and Tieton irrigation projects be for
mally adopted and THAI funds be set
aside for construction PURPOSES. writes
Walter e. Clarke. Washington cores
pondent for the Seattle Post .Intolli-
gencer.
There Is some question as TO just
when the secretary's approval will be
given. for the reason that the amount
OF funds already set aside" for irri-
CATION projects exceeds the total
amount covered into the reclamation
fund. This excess is now something
like $4,000, 600.
Secretary Hitchcock Is inclined to
shut down on the further allotments
of funds until the general fund in
creases. No increase can be expected
for some time, however, for expendi-
lures will. 1t Is believed soon equal
or nearly equal the receipts. and the
outgo will probably continue for some
time.
The reclamation service believes
that the fund will be replenished not
later than next year by receipts from
the Truckee- Carson project which is
now nominally under water and in
complete operation.
Inasmuch. however. as the receipts
under the most favorable circum-
stances will not exceed in any one year
more than one-tenth OF the total cost
OF projects, the effect on the irrigation
fund will not be very striking.
1t IL possible that the fund pro-
vlsionally set aside for the Palouse
project was abandoned for the time
drawn and that Secretary Hitchcock
will then approve the okanogan and
Tlcton projects.

FALL WHEAT EXCLUSIVELY.
No Spring Wheat Around Hoidman
Unless by Resecsiing.

According to II. NJ. Cutter. young
farmer Of the Holdman country who
was here yesterday all the farmers of
that section are putting in fall wheat
this year and there is no prospect at
all for any spring wheat unless re-
seeding should be made necessary
through n freeze. However, he says
that the seeding is not as far along in
that portion as in the vicinity of PEN
dleton for the rains come later there
than they did here. Nevertheless, the
conditions have been very favorable
so far, and farm work is much farther
advanced than is usual at this time of
the year.
