LEAK IN WATER MAIN.
May BE Responsible for Shortage on
the North Side.

Today William Sutherland, water
superintendent, has had a crew of men
at work beneath the Main street
bridge endeavoring to repair a leak
that has been discovered in the water
main running across to the north side.
The leak was discovered yesterday
through water coming to the surface
through the gravel close to the north
bank. In order to repair the leak it
was necessary for a pump to be in
stalled to carry off the water from
the hole dug in order to reach the
break, To do this a wood saw engine
was taken beneath the bridge and it
has been pumping away industriously
today.
For a long time past residents of
the north side have been complaining
of shortage of water on that side.
In view of the scarcity of water over
there 1t was long believed that leak
existed. but until yesterday it could
not be located. Whether the one dis
covered has been responsible for the
shortage remains to be seen.

North Powder, July ESPECIALLY
The most disastrous hail and wind
storm ever experienced in eastern
Oregon has just passed over this Sec
tion and hundreds of acres OF fine
wheat and alfalfa have been ruined.
The storm was about two miles
wide and pursued an irregular course
through Powder river valley between
this place and Baker City, carrying
havoc to all kinds of crops, fruit and
gardens In its path.
Hailstones of enormous size fell in
large quantities, the wind blew fierce
ly and rain accompanied >the wind
in torrents, washing out roads, car
rying rocks and debris down the
canyons and doing heavy damage in
many ways.
on the 4S0-farm of Davis brothers,
four miles south of North Powder, Il
wheat crop was almost totally ruined,
the loss being estimated at fully $16,-
900. Also zoo acres OF timothy and
alfalfa hay were ruined on the same
farm.
A cloudburst occurred in the hills
east of Baker City and several peo-
pie in the vicinity of Pleasant valley
barely escaped with their lives. Sew
tho storm suffered considerable loss.
While 1t is impossible to estimate cor
rectly, farmers place the total dam
age to crops, orchards and gardens
at not less than $4,000.

Chicago, July 6.-Rockefeller rose
late this morning at the home of Har-
old Mccormick, his son-in-law, and
shortly after daylight with his
brother william and Mccormick, they
rode in an auto to the Chicago offices
of the Standard Oil company for a
conference before entering court.
Reaching the sidewalk in front of
the Standard offices, Rockefeller
shook hands with the reporters, and
cheerfully posed for the newspaper
photographers removing his hat,
raising his cane and doing everything
requested. you are too SLOW" he re-
marked to the photographers. He ad-
mitted he is not as bad looking as he
has been painted. He answered re-
quests for an interview by inviting
the reporters to play golf with him
in Ohio.
At 10 o'clock Rockefeller and his
party entered the federal building.
after their conference.
The last time Rockefeller was be-
fore an investigating body was in
1883, when he was questioned by the
senate committee of New York and a
manufacturers committee from Mass
achusetts, concerning the formation of
the oil trust. Neither committee ac-
complished anything.

NUCLEUS FOR A
CITY PARK FUND
CASH PRIZE FOR FINEST
FLOAT ON FOURTH OF JULY
City Owns Practically all of the Tri-
angle Between the Race, the River
and the Spokane Branch OF the o.
II. x N.-Land Can BE Made Into
Beautiful Park, and Destiny Seems
to be Headed I'm That Direction.

AS a nucleus for a city park fund
the Peoples Warehouse has decided
TO donate the $25 prize money won
for the finest float in the Fourth OF
July parade, to the city. That the
store will do this was announced this
morning by Leon Cohen, and as soon
as the money is received from the
committee it will be paid over to the
proper officials to be applied upon a
fund for the ultimate creation of a
public park.
Whether the others receiving prize
money will do the same with the cash
received remains to be sen, though it
is hoped that such will be the case,
and that the fund once started will
continue to grow.
Already the city and the water
commission together own many acres
of land above the water works. The
land was purchased for the primary
purpose of protecting the water sup
ply, but also with the park idea in
view. Not long ago &c more lots
were secured, and the city now has
practically all of the ground in the
triangle above the Walla Walla track
of the o. r. & n. and between the
mill race and river. There are now
but two small pieces of individually
owned land in that tract. With
proper funds for improvement it is
said that the tract can be made in a
beautiful park with water on two
sides and convenient to the city.
Now that charter changes have
been made, increasing the maximum
tax levy and otherwise providing
money for improvements, 1t is hoped
that the city will soon find it pos
sible to spend enough money to es-
tablish a park and thus fill a want
that has been long felt and often ex-
messed

says the complaint, the warehouse
company bought large quantities of
grain in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, and contracted with dealers
in the eastern cities to sell it to them.
Demands were made upon the rail-
road company for cars, but the cars
were not furnished, and the ware
house peopde say they were compell-
ed to hold their grain in readiness
for shipping, expecting cars daily,
from seven to 20 weeks.
In some cases, 1t is alleged, the
company was compelled to buy grain
in Chicago at heavy loss to deliver
on their contracts. In other cases the
market price of wheat having ad-
vanced after the contracts were made,
the warehouse company had to pay
to the eastern dealers the difference
between the contract price and the
market price at the time the wheat
should have been delivered in the
east.
The storing OF the immense quanti-
ties of grain In warehouses along the
O. r. & N. lines entailed expenses of
storage, insurance, employment of laA
Dor, and represented large sums OF
money. The warehouse company
seeks to recover from the railroad
company the cost Of insurance and
storage, the amounts paid for labor
and other expenses, as well as the in
terest that the money invested in the
wheat would have earned had 1t not
been tied up.
This is the first suit filed in the
local courts for damages growing out
of the car shortage, which so serious
ly embarrassed oregon industries for
a long time,

SUIT AGAINST D. R. & N. As A RESULT OF
CAR SHORTAGE

In an effort to recover damages
suffered through the failure of the
o. r. & n. company to furnish cars
for eastbound shipments of wheat In
1904, the Balfour-Guthrie company
has instituted suit in the circuit
court at Portland. The outcome of
the suit will be watched with inter-
est by grainmen here who remember
the difficulty had in securing cars at
that time. The following extract
from the Oregon Daily Journal gives
summary of the things alleged in
the complaint filed by the warehouse
company:
Charging that the o. r. & N. COM
pany did not furnish cars' in which
to ship wheat to the east until from
As to ISL days after they were order
ed, the Interior Warehouse company
this morning filed suit in the state
circuit court for s31,S36 damages
from the railroad company.
The quickest time in which the
company furnished cars was 4S days,
according to the complaint, and the
longest was five months. The suit
grow out of an attempt by the ware
house company to supply wheat to
eastern dealers in 1904, when the
grain crop in the east was short.
There was a large demand in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho for wheat
to ship to Minneapolis, Chicago, Du-
luth, st. Louis, Baltimore and Battle
Creek, says the complaint, and at that
time the Q. r. & N. company was
advertising to handle, especially
wheat, and represented that It had
ample facilities for transportation OF
| grain.
