NEW WATER SUPPLY
FOB PENnLETQN
PIPE LINE AND RESERVOIR
FOR POWER AND LIGHT
Superintendent William Sutherland
Suggests Gravity System With Over
flow from the Reservoir Used in
Irrigation-Power Plant Could be
Established at Headgates High Up
on the Umatilla-Plan Is Feasible.

| That Pendleton should have a
gravity water system and in connec-
ton with the same an electric plant
of its own, is the idea of William
sutherland, present water superin-
tendcnt. In view of the fact that the
proposition of a new water system
may come up for a vote at the De-
cember election the theory of Mr..
Sutherland is Of interest and is here
given, though the modest superin-
tendent wishes no publicity for HIM
self.
Should a gravity system be decided
upon it is suggested that the city at
once take steps towards securing a
water right on the Umatilla several
miles above Bingham Springs. When
the plant is constructed a heavy pipe
line should be provided for bringing
the water down from the mountains.
a power plant could be established
ut Cayusc or some other location and
by having a heavy head of water
portion of the volume could be used
for power purposes while the re-
mainder could be brought on to the
city to furnish water supply.
But to the water superintendent
the idea of city electric system is a
secondary consideration to that of a
gravity water system. Upon the lat
ter subject he has an idea that is
novel and yet seems iminently prac-
tical.
In bringing the water to the city
Mr.. Sutherland would have the pipe
line cross Wild Horse creek some dis
tance northeast of Pendleton, perhaps
near the Peter Tachelli place and
empty into a reservoir to be built
on the high hill above the north side.
BY having the reservoir so located
Mr. Sutherland holds that the over
flow water could be used for irriEat-
ing the land lying north of the city.
The extent to which this could be
done would depend entirely upon the
size Of the pipe line which II is held
should be as large as possible.

BONDS Be SOLD BY
NOVEMBER |
POPULAR SALE SYSTEM
LOOKS FAVORABLE.
City Bonds VIII Draw 5 Per Cent and
Are NOn-taXable-Safe and Profit
able Investment for Local Capital
ists-Contract Let for Macadamiz-
.n~ West Alta Street-Additiona
Fire Hose Requested by Fire Chief
Vaughan.

BY action of the city council taken
at its regular meeting last night, the
time for receiving bids on the bond
issue was 'Xtended until November
| !. At that time the bonds can be sold
at par, of which there seems to be
no question. The charter forbids the
council from selling bods below par.
BY means Of popular sale" the
| council is in hopes of having the
bonds, or At least large block of
them taken by local people. AS they
will draw 5 per cent interest and be
taxable 1t is held that those with
| money to lend can find a good safe
investment in the bonds. In the sale
of the bonds preference will be given
bidders should the aggregate bids of
several equal one larger bid.
Another important step taken by
the council last evening was the let
ting of the contract for the macada
MIXING of West Alta street, At pre-
vious meeting Newport & Sons bid
was accepted but no formal contract
had ever been made with those gen.
tlemen. Actual work on West Alta
has already been started by the con-
tractors.
In behalf of the fire department,
Chief ]. L. Vaughan requested the
council, in writing, for an additional
supply of fire hose. The communi-
cation was referred to the fire COM
mittee.
But little routine business came be-
fore the meeting last evening and it
was only $3.50 when Mayor Fee de-
clared the meeting adjourned.

Whereas, such delay is actually
costing the producers of said section
each year a vast sum Of money they
would otherwise save, and
Whereas, the completion Of the ca
nal and locks between Big Eddy and
Cello on the Columbia river would
at once open to navigation said wa
ter system from Priest rapid on the
Columbia and from Lewiston on the
Snake river to the sea, and furnish
water transportation through the
heart Of the inland empire In the
states of Washington, Idaho and O.c-
gon, and
Whereas, such completion would
instantaneously and automatically
free the people OF said section from
the enormous transportation condi-
tions that now exist, and reduce the
transportation tax now levied on
what they produce to the extent Of
at least $1,5OO,0O0 each year, and re-
suit incalcucable advantages in open
ing up the country and inducing the
building Of tributary lines Of rail-
ways to the rivers, and
Whereas, the extension of the port
age railway, now operated by the
state of Oregon between Big Eddy
and Cello, to The Dalles, would
greatly increase its efficiency and fur
nish some relief to the producers and
consumers tributary to said river,
pending completion Of said canal.
Now, theref fore, be it resolved,
First. That the Open River associa-
tion, a voluntary organization COM
posed OF citizens of the states Of
Washington, Idaho and oregon, IA
vor the placing Of the Improvements
of the rivers and harbors of this
country on the same basis as any
other Of the great departments of
the government, and favor the MAX
ing of annual appropriations there
for, and respectfully request and
urge the congress Of the United
States to adopt this policy
Second. We favor placing the
building of the Cello canal and
locks on a continuing contract basis
at the next session of congress and
call upon our senators and represen-
tativcs in congress to use every hon
orable effort to this end, pledging to
them a united support from the peo-
pie of the Pacific northwest.
Third If no other way for provd-
ing money for carrying on the work
of improving the rivers and harbors
can he found, then we favor a bond
issue by the government sufficient in
amount to complete all approved pro-
jects. similar in character to those
issued for the building Of the T'ana-
ma canal.
Fourth. We favor the extension Of
the portage railway from Big Eddy
to The Dalles, and urge and request
the next legislative assembly of the

The best meeting ever held by the
open River association was held yes
terday at The Dalles, when about 25O
delegates from Oregon, Washington
and Idaho assembled to discuss the
question OF opening the Columbia
and Snake river to navigation.
While many able discussions were
heard and many forcible and inspir-
ing resolutions were adopted, yet the
gist of the meeting was contained in
the determination of the association
to extend the portage railroad from
Big Eddy to The Dalles; to place the
river improvements of the northwest
on a continuing contract basis by
which they may be pushed vigorously
to completion; and to furnish ade-
quate boats to handle the traffic now
accumulating along the Columbia and
Snake rivers by the thousands of
tons.
The executive committee consisting
of w. j. Mariner of Blalocks; ]. A.
Smith of Baker City; DR.. N. G. Bla-
lock of Walla Walla; Henry Hahn
and A. H. Devers of Portland; Joseph
T. Peters of The Dalles; Scleischer
of Lewiston, was unanimously re-
elected and an excellent program
was rendered
At the forenoon session. two COM
mittees were appointed, one consist
ing OF Judge S. A. Lowell of this
city, Miles C. Moore of Walla Walla,
and j. n. Teal of Portland, on reso-
lutions and another consisting of
Frank Menefee, Frank Seufert and
Joseph r. Peters of The Dalles, to
report plans for the extension of the
portage from Big Eddy to The
Dalles. /
Work of the Association.
Secretary w. ]. Mariner of the
executive committee presented a de-
tailed report of the work of the as
sociation since its organization in
1904 to the present time The report
showed that the association has col
lected the sum of $4,000 from the
river counties in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, to supplement- the
work cf the state of Oregon i'm build
ing the portage road. OF this sum
Umatilla county contributed $2100,
Walla Walla $225O and Lewiston the
largest amount on the list, S3500 OF
this $1,000 collected there is now on
hand the sunn of S6Q00
DR.. Blalock reported that $4,000 of
the 10000 needed for the construc-
ton of a new boat for the upper river
had been raised in the vicinity of
Walla Walla and that the full amount
would soon be raised.
Enormous Traffic Waiting.
Dr. Blalock also reported that at
this time there are $4,000 sacks Of
wheat lying at different loading places
along the Columbia river, awaiting
shipment to market Other traffic
Is also accumulating and everything
possible will be done to furnish river
for the traffic which
has outgrown the railroads.
DR.. Blalock said he believed that
100000 could be raised in public
in the three river states
For the purpose of building river
boats.

of the crop was sold for 70 cents
while some who sold very early did
not receive that much.
Grain is now being taken to the
warehouses rapidly and in many Sec
tions most Of the yield is already
stored. According to ]. E. Montgom-
cry, agent for the Puget Sound Ware

country is in the warehouse excepting
in the Vansyc;e country, where haul
