CITY WATERW0RkS
SUPT. MCDOUGALL Makes REPORT
ON Water SYSTEM.
Makes the alarming Statement That
70 Per Cent OF Water Pumped Is
Lost Through leaky Pipes. Sup.
ply of Water Plentiful II Properly
Conserved.

George F. McDougall, superintend-
ent of public works, submitted the fol-
lowing report to the city council at
the meeting last night.
There was pumped at the Stewart
creek station during May, 1920. 900
gallons of water. Of this amo.,nt
there was accounted for by all the
meters in use 9,125,0O0 gallons, leav-
ing balance of 100000 gallons
for the residence districts. To as
sumo that those districts actually
used or wasted more than the mills
and business places on meter would
be manifestly incorrect, therefore, at
least 100000 gallons, or 20 per
cent of the amount pumped must
have leaked through defective mains
and service pipes.
I have, during the month, made
such estimates as possible regarding
cheaper operations of the Stewart
creek pumping station, and find that
an electrical pumping equipment CT
sufficient size for present needs will
cost approximately $1,000, ready for
operation. I have interviewed the
managers of the local power COM
pany, and while I have not received
any definite quotations, can say
there does not at present seem to be
a solution of the difficulty in that
direction. When we start the Charlie
creep pump, the necessity of the
fourth man at the Stewart creek sta
tiOn will no longer exist, and saw
ing of about $40 month will result
in the operating expenses there.
There will also be material saving
in fuel, amounting to more than the
total cost of operating the Charlie
creek system.
However, the urgent need is not
for additional equipment and sources
of supply, but provision for conserv-
ing the water we already have.
The Chehalis river main must be
cut out entirely except in cases of
extreme emergency. or If that is not
possible, replaced with pipe that will
hold water.
The old kalimined pipe on Heron
and Market streets replaced with
good wood pipes Of ample diameter
and strength. and the policy Of your
honorable body should be to install
wood stave mains and laterals wher-
ever new pipes become necessary.
Work is progressing on the Charlie
creek extension in a satisfactory
manner, and the same will be placed
in service about June 25. There will
be some additional work to be per-
formed after that date, not of a
character. however. to interfere with
its continuous operation. The nec-
essary equipment for the pump has
arrived and Is being placed.
The city sewer system continues in

OREGON LEGISLATORS
FOR CHAMBERLAIN
Republican Members of Assembly,
Pledged to Support Popular
Choice Will Keep Promise.

PORTLAND, June 10.-Governor
G. E. Chamberlain's prediction that
he would be elected unhesitatingly
by the legislature in Oregon next
January to the United States senator
ship promises to be borne out in full.
Canvass of the representatives and
senators elected on a Statement One
platform and of the holdover State
ment One men shows that without
exception, SO far as seen, they will
vote for the governor. The republic
can Statement men did not hesitate
to proclaim vigorously their contin-
ued fealty to the principle that will
force them to give the highest office
in the states gift to democrat
Chamberlain will need only forty-six
votes; he has more than fifty in
easy sight.
Developments since the election
kill off what chances there might
have been of slipping in a republican
through broken pledges on the part
of republicans. No legislator seems
willing to stand the suspicion that
would attach to the man who violat-
ed written statement on file with
the clerk of his county. The temper
of the Oregon people has been con-
clusively demonstrated on Statement
One; it's vote instruct representatives
and senators to stand by the popular
choice, as expressed in one of the
initiative bills June l., doubly en-
phasized this.
Chamberlain will resign the gov
ernorship as soon as elected senator.
He will be succeeded by F. w. Ben
son, a republican, now secretary of
state, who will hold office two years.
Benson will have little chance to dis
tribute "pie" except in the peniten-
tiary, which he is hardly likely to
shake up.

the topography would permit contin-
uing the tunnel several miles The
opportunity to stay underground was
seized by the company. 1t purchased
hundreds of acres of ground, to
which 1t now holds title from China
to the gates of heaven" and none can
say nay il it wants to run its car 100
miles an hour.
The tunnel will be extended a dis
tance of more than nine miles, with
four separate car tracks, by which II
is hoped to operate an entirely safe
system of rapid transit. The exit Of
the tunnel is nearly at the Sherman
line junction.
The result will be to give the com.
pany two lang tangents, one of nine
miles through the tunnel and the
other of eight miles on the run south
from the junction, where a speed of
20 miles an hour can easily be main
tanned. The net gain secured by the
construction of this enormously ex-
pensive work will be to clip ten min
utes off the present running time be-
tween Los Angeles and Santa Monica,
making the trip in 16 minutes.

A. B. Cooley, who for the past 20
years has been one of the bonanza
wheat farmers of Umatilla county
and who during that time has har-
vested some of the largest individual
crops ever harvested in Oregon. is
permanently retiring from his Mid
die Cold Springs ranch IL miles north
of Pendleton and on February IL, at
that place, will sell his entire farm
ing outfit at public auction.
Since Mr.. Cooley has been one of
the largest farmers he has one of
the largest outfits used in the coun-
ty and his sale will perhaps aggre-
gate $4,000 and sufficient equipment
will be offered for sale at that time
to conduct four or five common
farms.
Among the items which will be sold
by Mr.. Cooley at the public auction
will be the following: Twenty five
head Of team horses, Is head Of
mares; II head of mules; Is sucking
colts; 25 sets of harness: 25 Poland
China brood sows; 75 pigs; SO shoats:
four wagons and a score OF plows.
harrows. discs, drills and other farm
ing implements; several milk COWS;
10 head of stock cattle and a large
quantity of small stuff of various
kinds which naturally accumulates
on a farm.
Two auctioneers will be employed
and the sale will begin promptly at
9 o'clock on Monday, February II,
at Mr.. Cooley's Middle Cold Springs
ranch. IL miles north OF this city.
Five per cent discount for cash will
be allowed on all sales and good notes
will be taken for the larger sums.
This will perhaps be the largest
public sale of farming equipment
ever held in this county and Mr..
Cooley regrets that 1t is impossible
TO bring the stuff to this city for the
regular market day. Owing to the
large amount Of the property to be
sold and the cost of bringing II in.
he decided to have a sale at the farm.
although he is heartily in favor Of the
market days which have been sched-
uled for this city.

its formation it met with grief in the
form of an order from the war de-
partment requiring that all national

rescinded and the regiment has two
years in which to be brought up to
the maximum strength.

and Work Has Already Begun.

Portland, Feb. 5.-Eli P. Clark
who is building the Mount Hood elec-
trio railway from Portland to Bull
Run. has begun construction at Los
Angeles of one of the most remark
able tunnels on the western conti-
nent. II will be a four-rack electric
railway tunnel, little more than nine
miles long, extending under the city
of Los Angeles and giving an outlet
for the beach lines of the Los Angeles
& Pacific railway system. The tun-
mel will cost 100000.
The company's present fast line be-
tween Los Angeles, Santa Monica and
other beaches makes the trip one way
in 26 minutes. The distance is 19
miles. A Los Angeles man can reside
at his seashore home and attend to
business in the city as conveniently
as can the Sellwood resident who
works down town in Portland.
The trip between Los Angeles and
Santa Monica is retarded by the me-
cessity for running trains slowly
through the city, and the lost time
has TO be made up by the run south
after passing the junction of the Sher-
man lihe branch to the oil fields. This
junction is about eight miles out from
the city.
In seeking direct outlet from the
city the company was confronted by
a high hill that skirts the city limits
and incloses it like a Chiness wall on
that side. The company determined
to tunnel under this hill. When the
levels were taken II was found that
