That every able-bodied voter be
drafted into the service of the city and
required to work a certain number of
days upon the levee, is now propozed
by the council as a last rezort in or
der to get the protecting wall in
proper condition before another flood
sweeps down the Umatilla river.
At the last session of the council no
bids for the levee repairs appeared,
and an adjournment was taken until
this evening, the levee committee be-
ing instructed to devize some plan of
action in the meantime Regarding
the committees intentions, Council
man Hinkle, chairman of the same,
said this morning:
"The Law Allows IT,

to do the work itself. l have careful
such an emergency as this the city
has the power to draft all able-bodied
voters into the service and require
them to work as long as necessary
for the protection of the city.
There are about 1900 registered
voters within the city, and should II
be necessary to draft them. the regis
tration rolls will be taken and, say
100 men, taken at time. The work
will be estimated so as to divide the
same as equally as possible among the
citizens. The regular wages Of a
common laborer will be paid.'

Gilman Hinkle says that in his opinion
workmen can be secured in no other
way, and IT would be better for each
man to work five or six days than for
the city to be swept away this win

Only Hope From Abroad.
That no local men are going to bid
upon the work of repairing the levee
is now apparent, and the only hope of
securing a contractor lies in an out
side bidder. Engineer Young was
here from Salt Lake on Thursday and
said that in the event no Pendleton
people bid on the work he would try
to interest some Salt Lake contrac-
tors. In that case they would bid
upon information furnished them by
the engineer and the specifications for
the work.
However. from the very nature of
things the bid of an outside company
would be high. becauze they would
have many extra expenses over a To-
cal contractor. Consequently, the
council might not accept an offer
from the Salt Lake people, and as the
amount of money available for the
work is entirely inadequate to proper
ly repair the bulkhead anyway.
Should the bid be found exorbitant It
would doubtless be rejected and the
work undertaken by the city itself
under the direction of a superintend-
ent. In that case the chairman of the
levee committee says the above men,

necessary unless a sufficient number

of the space has now been taken and
