WATER MAIN HAS
BEEN REPAIRED
NOW CARRYING FULL HEAD
OF WATER TO NORTH SIDE
Golfer Dam Was Necessary Before the
Break Could Be Protected From
Water Long Enough TO Enable Re
pairs to BE Made-Ffve Pumps
Were Tried Before One Could Be
Gotten That Would Handle Seep-
age.

At last, after many days of work,
the leak in the water main under the
Main street bridge has been repaired
and the people of the north side will
now receive a better water supply.
The mend was effected about noon
today and the water was gradually
turned on and is now running full
force.
The leak in the main was discov-
cred on the Fourth of July, and since
that time Water Commissioner Suth-
erland has been engaged intermit-
tently in trying to repair the break.
Owing to the porous character of the
gravel bed in the river 1t was neces-
sary to construct Golfer dam around
the break and it was built in two
compartments. Since the work COM
menced five different pumps have
been brought into use and at last one
was secured that could keep the water
low enough to allow the men to work
on the break. 1t was found that the
main was cracked for distance of a
foot or more and 1t was necessary to
take out large section of the pipe,
This was replaced by new joint and
thus the leak stopped.
While working on the break this
morning it was necessary for the water
to be turned off on the north side
and much complaint has been heard
from residents of that section. How
ever, they are now rejoicing that the
leak is stopped and are hoping for
plenty of water for the future.

Boise, July 22.-"Are you going to
hang this defendant on the unsupport-

murderer" asked Mr.. Darrow.
"It had been Steunenberg's fortune
to stand at the very front in the worst
labor trouble in this state His atti-
tude then might have been right,
possibly wrong, I cannot say. But
when the dastardl, crime was commit
ted every newspaper in the country
took the position his death by bomb
was due entirely to his action at the
Coeur d'Alenes in 1899.
Some persons attempted to justify
the killing. But we, gentlemen of the
jury declare right here and now there
was no justification in this dastardly
dynamiting. But let us remember,
gentlemen, whence comes this accu-
sation against the federation. 1t comes
from the mineowners who have vain
ly tried to break up the organization,
and from the president in the White
House down to the humblest woods
men in the wilds of Oregon there
came statements bearing upon the
guilt or innocence of the accused. al

merits of the case, nothing about the
evidence which from the first had

CACHE OF STOLEN GOODS FOUND
Half II Dozen Suits Probably Taken
From a Consignment.

This morning a robbers cache was
discovered by Marshal Tom Gurdane
at the west end of the Northern Paci-
fic track on Webb street. 1t con-
tanned a half dozen or more suits of
cheap clothing which had evidently
been stolen from a freight car. The
clothes was marked /. & S. B. and
bore no price marks, thus indicating
that 1t had not yet reached its des-
tination when stolen. Yesterday a
vest was found near the end of the
railroad track by one of the train
men, and upon learning Of the inci-
dent Marshal Gurdane began q search
which resulted in the discovery of the
pile Of clothing underneath the end
Of the track.
From the circumstances surround
ing the case the marshal believes that
the robbery was committed but re-

to the men who did It. Inquiries
among the local merchants have so
far failed to locate the store to whom
the clothing was consigned. and 1t
was probably part Of a shipment go.

Investigating in Oregon.

The extensive exploration and de-
velopment work now being done on
the lime-phosphate deposits in Idaho,
Oregon and Utah afford an opportun-
ity for a detailed geological study OF
phosphate deposits by the United
States geological survey says a Wash
ington dispatch. The pits and trench
es dug to determine the position and
character Of the beds must be stud
led while still freshly made, as they
re pidly become filled with debris from
the surface, which renders their ex-
animation difficult.

President Robert C. French OF
the Weston normal. arrived Sunday
morning from Portland and Salem,
where he attended meeting of the
new board Of normal school regents,
at which the course Of study for the
normal schools of oregon was finally
adopted and other important normal
school business transacted.
The presidents of the four normals
of oregon. Robert G, French Of wes-
ton, r. d. Ressler of Monmouth, B.
F. Mulkey Of Ashland and A. d.
Briggs OF Drain. were present at the
meeting and practically suggested the
course Of study which was finally
adopted.
President French Is well pleased
with the course and is especially pleas
ed that most of the course adopted
has been in use at the Weston normal
school for a number Of years.
A course In agriculture. physics and
pedagogy in addition to the regular
Weston normal course was added by
the regents. and the subjects of type
writing, stenography, economics, soci-
ology, advanced chemics Latin and
German were added as optional
studies.
However. nearly all of these latter
studies have been taken at the Wes-
ton normal school and therefore their
addition to the regular normal course
does not entail any additional labor
on the faculty at Weston.
1t is a high compliment to the
management OF the Weston normal
that practically all of the studies car
ried there in the past were made a
part of the regular course and but
three studies not carried, agriculture,
physics and pedagogy, were made a
part Of the regular course.
Outlook Is Good.
The outlook for Weston normal for
the coming year is very good. Many
letters of inquiry are being received
from every part of eastern Oregon,
and there is every prospect of large
attendance. Renewed interest is taken
since the normals OF the state are
finally placed upon firm and SEEM
ingly permanent footing and the
schools are sure Of their ground.
The new board of regents is taking
hold of the management with de-
termination and zeal which promise
much for the schools and there is a
general sentiment throughout the state
that the normal school question ia
settled permanently.
President French spoke highly of
the new board Of regents and believes
that an excellent choice has been
made by the governor. Secretary
Starr, of the board of regents, who
will act as business manager for all
the normals In the state, Is a school
man Of much ability and will have
personal supervision OF the business
details of the schools.
Regents Coming to Weston.
The executive committee of the
new board Of regents will arrive in
this city tomorrow morning to 60 to
Weston to look over the normal
school and its needs. This committee
consists Of Regents Hofer, Mater and
Bragg.

deck, she gave a quick lurch and
sank beneath the waves like a chunk
Of lead. The boats and RATS which
were partly cast loose by the passen-
gers and crew were swept off, but
several were caught by the survivors,
who managed to reach shore in them.
Others were carried too far away to
be reached,
Story Of the Rescue.
The survivors suffered terribly un-
til rescued by the Elder. The night
was cold and they were drenched to
the skin and without shelter and their
plight was pitiable. Several were rem
dered temporarily insane by the loss
OF relatives and attempted to cast
themselves into the sea, but were pre-
vented by comrades.
When the Elder hove in sight
| many OF the unfortunates dropped to
their knees and offered up prayers
and thanksgivings. Others, frenzied
by JOY, danced and shouted like ma
MACS. After being taken aboard the
Elder the survivors were given dry
clothing, food and drink and a major
ity soon recovered, but number are
still in bad shape.
Columbia a Well Known Vessel.
The Columbia was one of the old
landmarks in Portland's harbor, hav-
ing been on the Portland-San Francis
co run for many years. She and the
Costa Rica formed the Hartman boat
line between Portland and San Fran
cisco and made regular weekly trips
over that route. About a year ago
the Columbia was completely over
hauled and made practically new and
vas one Of the largest vessels plying
on the Pacific coast.
At the time of the San Francisco
| earthquake she was i'm the dry dock
at the Bay City and the shock of the
earthquake caused her to tilt over on
the ways and turn turtle"
Captain Doran of the Columbia, was
well known to all of the o. r. & N.
employees in the passenger service be-
J tween this city and Portland and his
skill as a navigator is said to have
been of high order.
