REClA|M|NG SAHARA BY IRRIGATION

was riyeted on, the external rivet
heads being countersunk flush.
This band is made to slide in and
out of the basin on short sections OF
rail let into the masonry. The JOINT
is kept tight by means OF tarred OF
tallowed rope packing inclosed be-
tween two light semi angles
placed hack with bolts passing
through them. The weight Of the
water flowing through keeps the ca
nal floating on the packing and each
section can therefore expand or con-
tract. according to temperature.
Among the many difficulties en-
countered in the work were the un-
equal expansion of the steel plates,
due to the suns rays affecting the
side of the canal nearest to 1t more
than the other side, and the wind and
sand action, which frequently caused
n whole section Of the canal to sink
several inches. The total weight OF
the steel work was 1850 tons.
Seven hundred men, including
eight Englishmen, the remainder be-
ing chiefly Arabs, with a few Greeks
and Italians, were employed. The
work was completed in five months,
working day and night. The loose,
shifting sand foundation caused
much trouble and tools were con-
stantIy being lost and buried.
The natives did not like night work
ad II was difficult to make the Arab
"holders- up" work nights underneath
the canal on account Of the scorpions
in the sand. The Arabs were also
fond of drinking the machine oil
and amounting their bodies with 1t.
Ono of the chief troubles was the
natural inclination Of the different
tribes to engage In petty warfare and
thew would frequently fight with
sticks, knives or stones.

to lecture next month If any effort is
made to arrange a date with him.
His manager, Charles f. Newlin,
of Indianapolis, Ind, passed through
the city last evening on his way to
Billings, Mont, to lecture and said
that it would be possible to secure
Judge Artman here for one lecture
July 22 If the matter was taken up
at once with Mr.. Newlin at Billings.
Judge Artman will lecture in Port
land and Eugene and would be glad
to deliver his lecture here. No guar
antee is required and whatever sum
is raised at the lecture is satisfactory
and so the expense of bringing him
here would be moderate.

1000 MILD CASES OF MEASLES.
Not a Death Occurred Out OF That
Number. However.

That the epidemic of measles is
now nearly over in Pendleton is de-
clared by the local physicians who
for time were kept extremely busy
attending those who were afflicted.
Most of the cases have now recovered
and hut few new ones are reported.
During the past spring almost every
family in the city was affected with
the disorder, and in the opinion OF
Dr. McFaul there were probably 1000
cases all told within the city.
However, the disease was always in
a mild form and not a single death
occurred. In many instances the
disease was so mild that patients
never broke out, though showing
the other symptoms

DIFFICULTY BUT TEMPORARY.
Bitullthlc Less Liable to Injury AZ
ter First Year.


Since the advent of the hot wea-
ther the bitulithic apvement on
Main and Court street has become
greatly softened at times and heavy
wagons have made ruts In the streets.
Particular damage was inflicted by
a traction engine that passed along
Main street a day or two ago.
But while the pavement is now soft
it is declared by those who represent
the Warren company that little diff
ficulty will be had after this year.
They say that since the pavement
was laid during the cold weather it
was enevitable that 1t would soften
this summer, but insist that hereaf-
ter it will be set and will soften but
little.
Under the terms of the mainte-
nance contract with the Warren COM
pany the paving people agree to keep
the streets in repair for a term of
years. Should it become necessary,
Councilman Rem, head of the street
committee, says the company will
place a layer of fine crushed rock
over the paved portion and roll the
same again while it is soft. Should
this be done the "waves," now very
noticeable, would be eliminated
