A cIFY's WATER MAINS.

1t seems that San Francisco is not the only city
of the world whose principal water mains entering
the city from the source Of supply were inadequate
to meet all possible demands upon them Cincin-
natl has just passed through experience brought
about by the bursting Of one Of its mains. which,
had fire broken out might have resulted in disaster
as great as that which overwhelmed San Francisco
As it was the whole city of Cincinnati passed Sat
urday night without water. AS result streetcars
were brought to a standstill, elevator service was
suspended the people, although the night was
of the hottest in the history of the city, could
secure no water either for drinking, cooking or
bathing purposes. They not even permitted
take water from their csterns and reservoirs for
upon these the authorities set guards against the
dreaded possibility Of an outbreak of fire.
But the scare at Cincinnati was not needed to en-
phasize the necessity of furnishing enough water
mains connecting the water systems Of cities with
the of supply sufficient in number to meet
all possible contingencies; that was sufficiently
demonstrated in San Francisco in April. No city
will hencefOrth dare permit its water supply to de-
pend upon main pipes limited in number as to

the Oregon delegation and the faction known the

On the other hand, Chamberlain was a man Of

the Republicans well the Socialists, and yet
Chamberlain could never be accused Of radcalism.
He avoided political controversy and prided him
self on the fact that when elected to Office
he would serve all the people and bend to party
or clique. He appeared to have kept his word, and
through strength of personality and frank individ-
uaism he swept away the normal Republican
majority and placed the State, presumably, in the
Democratic ranks.
But the status of Oregon, so far national
politics Is concerned, cannot be estimated by the
success Of Chamberlain. Oregon tomorrow would

COMPLAINS OF SKATING

1 wish to call the attention OF tbs
proper authorities of the city to the pre-
vailing evil of roller skating on the
sidewalks of the city This ever-in-
creasing nuisance is especially indulged
in by the big boys and even girls.
Wherever they find a streak of smooth
sidewalk they will assemble by the
dozen and monopolize ii by turning il
into veritable skating rink. to the
danger of limbs and lives of children
and other pedestrians. They are racing
the sidewalks up and down everlasting

road train. When demonstrated with
they will give answers unit for print
1t is true. the parents of some of the
boys are more to blame than the boys
themselves. They buy the skates and
send the children in rags roaming about
the streets. Some Of the parents draw
ratiOns from the relief stations. but
have money to buy skates for their
children.
If they must skate. let them do it on
the streets and not on the sidewalks.
Is there no remedy for this evil?

eArTLE WITH TAE DESERT.
Enemy to Agricultural Growth that
Neither Slumhera Mr. sSleena

Enemy to Agricultural Growth that
Neither SAUNDERS Nor sleeps.
The desert is an enemy to Colorado's
agricultural growth which neither
slumbers nor sleeps. 1t is always on
the alert, seeking n way or an oppor-
tunity to creep back to come point from
which by the industry of our people
and the intelligent use of Irrigation It
has been driven. Eternal vigilance is
the price Of the redemption year by
year Of the irrigated areas from the
grasp of this sleepless foe.
The whole irrigated region Of north
ern Colorado, extending from Denver
through Boulder, Longmont and Love-
land to Fort Collins. thence down the
Cache la Poudre to Greeley and return
Ing by way Of the Platte Valley to this
city, is an example of what the farmers
of Colorado have done in driving back
the desert and in holding 1t back from
year to year. The wonderful reclama-
ton Of that part of the State from arid
ity tells what may be done, and to one
who understands 1t also tells what
would result If irrigation should be
withdrawn the enterprise, the ener-
gy and the intelligence of our people
should retreat before an advancing des-
ert line.
Within the city limits we have an
other and most beautiful example of
a like kind. The City park, with its 800
acres of reclaimed land, is the fruit Of
victory over the desert, which hens
Denver In on all sides and bes;eges 1t

the most beautiful artificial parks in the

In all the plains region.
Practically all the agriculture in this
State except what is achieved by "dry
farming" on the plains is result Of
successful irrigation. The fruit and
vegetables for which Colorado is IA
nous, the alfalfa fields which provide
feed for tens of thousands of sheep and
cattle every year and the whole of the
beet sugar Industry depend upon the
continued success of this battle with
the desert. Let the streams of irriga-
tion be shut of and the desert will gain
complete victory. The thousands Of
people who have made their homes in
communities founded where irrigation
Is practiced will be driven from those
homes like Hagar into the wilderness
