Advantages i'm Cmatilla.


THE Umatilla project is attracting
more than local interest. Inquiries
concerning it are received at Wash
ington from many parts of the coun-
try. The extraordinary advantages
possessed by this section of Oregon,
in the way of low altitude, long grow
ing season. the early maturity of high
priced products and the extremely
fertile soil make the Umatilla pro-
ject one of the most promising of the
national works of reclamation.
"An interesting engineering feature
of this project is the Cold Springs
dam, which will be one of the largest
earthen embankments in the world.
1t will be 5000 feet long. with a max
imum height of SO feet and contain
100000 cubic yards OF material or
about one-fourth OF the cubical con-
tents of the pyramid of Cheops
"The present plans will reclaim
about 10000 acres OF land east OF the
Umatilla river, all that can be fully
supplied by the available flood water
OF the stream. The watering OF other
areas included in this project depends
upon other sources of water supply.
The engineers have had under consid-
Grafton for several years the utiliza-
ton of the John Day river.
Careful consideration OF the vari-
Gus plans involved indicate that the
scheme is likely to prove excessively
expensive, owing to the many miles
OF canals along rough and rocky can
yon sides, and the greatly varying flow
in the river itself
Water From Columbia.
Recently the engineers have had
under consideration the irrigation OF
larger portion of the lower lands
west OF the Umatilla district, with wa
ter from the Columbia river. The
water is to be lifted by electric power
| transmitted from power stations on
| the Deschutes river. While this meth
cd is likely to be expensive, 1t is the
most favorable yet discovered"

The Facts in the Case.
Very respectfully,

If Councilman Glasford was en-
ployed in its strictest sense as superin-
tendent of the Mottet building erected
in West Main street last year, it is
strange that the man employed as fore
man and who had the fullest authority
in directing the mechanics who erected
the structure, was not aware of the
fact. T. F. Starboard, the contractor.

building employed as foreman. Il saw
Councilman Glasford around the build

was under course of construction, but
I did not know that he was actually
employed by Mottet Bros in the ca
pacity of superintendent until advised

supposed he was merely attending to
his duties as building inspector. He
did not interfere with my duties and

Ten Of the stalwart Pullman basket
ball giants visited chapel exercises at
Whitman college this morning. The

the game tonight in the college gym
nasium, which will be the first inter-
collegiate event of the season. Nearly
every reserved seat in the gymnasium
mas already been sold and the first two
rows in the balcony were reserved this
morning.
Both teams are determined to win
tonight, so the contest will be an inter-
esting one. Whitman has last years
defeat to square and Pullman wants to
make the public forget Thanksgiving
day last
The Pullmanites are very confident
of winning, but the missionaries look
wise and say nothing. Some fast prac-
tice in the gymnasium last night was
INDUCED in by both teams. The game
tonight will be called at $3.50 o'clock.

The foreman is supposed to direct the
men under him and if there are any
changes or faultfinding the superin-

man.
1t does seem strange that Council
man Glasford, who claims to have been
a contractor and builder all his life,
did not visit the Mottet building often
er than every two or three days in
order to see if the structure was being
erected according to the plans and
were not being carried out accoring to
the building. ordinance which Council
supposed to enforce, it would have
been easy for faulty construction work
to have been done between those peri
odical visits of the inspector to the
building. On the other hand, if Coun-
Gilman Glasford was employed as ac
tlal superintendent of the building in
addition to holding down the office of
building inspector, the interests of his
employers. it seems were sadly neglect
ed and the fact that the building was
erected according to the city building
ordinance was due more to the faith

superintendent.

Editor of The Evening Statesman
In your issue, of the 18th inst you in
substance accuse me of accepting a
fee for inspecting a building and by
inference make the accusation that for
consideration 1 allowed the building
Of Mottet Bros, at No. 223 West Main
street, to be constructed in violation of
the city building ordinance. 1 want to
say fatty and emphatically that you
have published a deliberate falsehood
and that you have prompted to make
the statements in the article referred
to solely because YOU wish to create
public sentiment against me in the
libel suit 1 nave instituted against you
for malicious publications in former
issue of your paper
The affidavit of F. D. Mottet is itself
refutaJion of the inference you seek
to create. 1t says specifically that the
800 was paid to me for superintend-
iil0 octlu anu SSClliS tldl Tic
same was being constructed in COM
pliance with the contract therefor"
and not as transaction between the
contractors and the city. All my life
have been a builder and a contractor
and l believe 1 am perfectly competent
to perform all of the dutieA in that
line. 1 do not understand that my posi-
ton as building inspector for the city
precludes my engaging in building if
1 see fit to do so any more than the
office of city electrical inspector now
being held by Mr.. Ray Bracket pro-
hibits him from working for the
Northwestern Gas & Electric Light
company. 1 challenge the truth of
implied SANDER that the Mottet build
ing is deficient in any Particular; on
the other hand it is constructed in
strict compliance with the building Or
dinance and a number of changes were
made in the plans to make it more

ance after my being engaged to super
intend the work. 1 am not supposed
to visit each building every day during
the course of its construction. My
special attention is required in the
fire district
The fact that there was a disagree
ment between the contractor and the
architect of the Mottet building is
alone responsible wholly for my being
engaged to superintend the work, and
it was on the suggestion of Mr.. Mottet
himself that I was engaged to repre-
sent him, as between himself and the
contractor, and at no time was there
any thought of evading or attempting
to evade any provision of the city
building ordinance.
l submit this to you, sir, and ask
that it be given the same degree of
prominence accorded the article at
| lacking me in your issue of the 18th
