While Umatilln county was well

representatives from this county at
the meeting 1.-THE american National

dispatch from Denver says of
the meeting being held there:

.LEvEE NEARLY
At COMPLETION
EMBANKING FINISHED AND
RIPRAPPING NEARLY so.
Vast Improvement Over Any Former
Condition Existing Here in Relation
TO Protection Against Floods-Great
Regret That High Water Necessi-
tated Curtailing the Amount Of
Concrete Foot Wall.

Within a few days the work that is
pleted and the city will then have a
bulwark that should protect it
against any flood the Umatilla may
see fit to bring down the mountains.
"All of the embankment work that
is to be done this year is now finished,
and the Newport company will COM
plete the rip-rapping work early
next week." said Floyd Avery, en-
gineer for Young & Kelsay, this fore
noon. 1t was hoped for a time that
the last Of the rip-rapping would be
finished this week, but it is now prob
able that the work will not be con-
cluded until the first of the week.
When the work is finished the
levee below the Main street bridge
will be much better than 1t has ever
been before. 1t will be without the
sharp curve that proved distrous last
spring, will have a greater slope than
formerly, will extend farther down
the river, will be higher. in part at
least, and the riprapping will be much
more secure.
The one regret of those in charge
of the work is that it was impossible
to have the concrete foot wall con-
structed the entire length. On ac-
count of the delay in getting the
work started 1t was necessary to
abandon work on the wall because
of the high water. However, where
there is no foot wall large rocks were
rolled into position at the base of the
levee and furnish very satisfactory
foundation for the rip-rap.
Above the Main street bridge the
levee has already been repaired all
that is regarded as necessary at this
time. Consequently, when the New
port company finishes its rip-rapping
work, levee operations will cease for
the winter.
AS soon as the work is completed
here Mr.. Avery will return to Salt
Lake, the head office of Young &
Kelsay, and will be transferred to
work in other sections.

BEvERIDGE ON CHILD LABOR.
Defends His Bill and Says Federal
LEGISLATION is Necessary.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Beveridge
defended his child labor bill in the
senate today. He said 1000, 900 chill
dren under Is are at work now, 700,-
900 being in other than agricultural
work. The bill strikes at child labor
in sweatshops, factories, etc. Chill
dren thus employed are dwarfed in
body, mind and soul. They grow up
to become enemies of society and
cannot be blamed.
The states acting separately are not
competent to stop the evil. 1t can
only be stopped with a national law,
and this is right, because child labor
is a national evil.
