East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-15

: The first actual step toward the
construction of Pendleton's gravity
system of city water will be taken
Monday morning when a representa-
tive Of the engineering firm Of Frank
G. Kelsay & Co., of Portland, shoul-
ders his surveying instruments and
starts for the head waters Of the
the flow of water in that stream.
The water commission of this city
has practically closed with the Kel-
say firm to make the estimates on
the proposed gravity system and Mr..
Kelsay will come here to meet with
the commission and decide upon the
details of the contract Monday morn
ing, after which the actual work Of
making the estimates will be started.
It is the intention Of the commits
sion to measure the flow Of water in
the Umatilla river at several points
on the upper stream with a view to
securing an adequate supply Of water
as near the city as possible.
Measurements will also be made on
Mckay, Birch, Wild Horse and other
streams and springs tributary to the
city. No stone will be left unturn-
ed to secure a good supply of water
as close to the city as possible and
it is hoped that when the final re-
ports of the engineer are submitted
that the commission will have such
an intimate knowledge of the various
water supplies within reach Of the
city, that it will be able to select
that one which promises the best sup
ply of mountain water within the
most reasonable expense.
1t is not known how long it will
take to make the measurements and
surveys necessary to determine upon
the selection of source of supply
for the city, but the work will be
done no matter what time
it requires and the commission is now
determined to go to the bottom Of
the gravity water question since it has
been taken up.
Nothing will please the people Of
the city more than to know that a
good source of mountain water has
been found within reach of the city
and there will be no question about
the voting of bonds by the people
when the commission finally decides
upon a source of supply a"d asks for
funds with which to bring 1t to the
water mains of Pendleton.

RELIGION AN ISSUE.
Taft's Lack of Religion Will BE Urged
Against Him

Chicago, Aug. 15.-There is every
indication that religion will be made
an issue in the presidential campaign.
Chairman Atwood Of the democratic
subcommittee on speakers said today:
"Taft's unitarian views deprive him of
any right to expect to receive the
support OF Christian voters. Bryan's
devotion to the church, on the other
hand, furnishes an appeal to every
believer in Christian doctrines"
No reply toAtwood has been given by
Chairman Hitchcock of the republi-
cans and his aides are in conference,
arranging the distribution of cam
paign literature and itineraries of the
speakers. Atwood intimated he would

Proposal to Give Former Balance OF
Fleet Entertainment Fund Causes
Trouble.
San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The
Young Mems Christian association Of
this city and the Brewers Protect
i've association have locked horns
over the proposal to give the former
organization a surplus of s472S from
the fleet reception fund.
When it was discovered after the
fleet had departed, that several thou
sand dollars were left in the treasury,
it was suggested by Chairman Frank
Symmes of the entertainment COM
mittee that this amount be given to
the Y. NJ. C. A, but the brewers, who
gave a large amount of the fund, we're
aroused because thew didn't want any
of their money to go to an organ
ization opposing them.

on the reserve, giving as reason
that it would pollute the streams and
render the ground in the vicinity of
the dipping vats subject to erosion.
These were easily understood to
be merely pretexts to enable the
Washington sheepmen to get out OF
dipping their flocks, and when Lytle
took the matter up at Washington
the contradictory order was imme-
diately made and the wool growers
instructed to prepare to dip.
The next move was to carry the
matter into the courts once more, and
the asking for the temporary restrain
ing order is the result
The bonds will probably be secured
tomorrow and the sheepmen win be
excused from dipping their flocks un-
