feet deep, should think twenty, some
thing like that.
@. There has been some evidence in
the case in respect to piece OF bog land
or swamp land something of that kind,
do you know where it is?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Where is that relative to the UPPER
end OF your stave pipe?
A. 1t is some distance below that on
down the hill it isn't exactly hill but
it is down grade.
O. Has that land been drained that
bog land been drained?
A. Practically so, yes sir.
q. Now state il you can what would
be the effect of taking up this water in
the gravel upon the water coming out on
the surface lower down?
A. Have tendancy to stop up this
pipe If that wasn't down low enough to
catch, to catch the slough water in the
ground in this pipe if you didn't get
down to hard pan with the tile.

you did it with the purpose of getting

A. Yes sir.

A. Why lleI derson-and | don't
think Buffers stock had been trans

it for the water rights.
q. If the mortgage was forclosed you
knew the Light Company in order to
protect itself would have to take it up
or see that the mortgage was taken care
of, wouldn't it?
A. Yes
q. Didn't it occur to YOU that if the
Light Company hadn't got the money to
invest as long as they were needing the
water to aid the Company--have the
property decided directly to the Com

all the money-all the money you had
advarced2
A No.
Q 1t didn't occur to you?
A. No, they wouldn't; that was abso-
lutely impossible.
Q. Why was it impossible?
A, Because the mortgage given
to the Portland Trust Company
stood on the property and the
property the Company hereafter acquir-
ed would go in that mortgage; that
makes 1t impossible; | don't think you
asked me why | didn't-this is the rea-

On account of the stand which the
Glacier has taken In the water fight
and because 1t as dared to print few
facts about the conditions which ex.
isr, few advertisers who have been
very active In the fight ON the other
side have seen lit to cancel their bus
iness with us. We admit we have
made mistake. Not In the few
things we have said, but In saying 30
little. We have deplored the serious
condition which exists in the water
supply, and we have endeavored to
make the citizens realize the grave
situation. We have tried to avoid
personalities as much as possible and
have left unsaid many things which
should have been brought in public
attention, In order TO enlighten the
public as to the true state of affairs.
The threatened boycott against the
Glacier. which was started In small
way this week, only spurs us to do
our duty and give the facts as we find
them, regardless of who it hits. The
Glacier Is here to stay, regardless of
who wishes to advertise in it or read
1t. We are not making any threats,
or do we intend to convey the i'm.
preston that we are seeking any
revenge, but will continue to publish
the facts as we find them and work
in what we believe to be the best in
terests OF the city. The Glacier will
work along this line without favor or
fear.

The Glacier has been criticised by
a few parties who have been active on
the other side OF the water question
for advertising the fact that the water
being furnished to the residents OF
the city contains colon bacilli. We
have also been commended Tor telling
the truth and giving warning to boil
the water. We feel it is better to
give warning and possibly prevent a
seige of sickness here than to run the
risk OF an epidemic which would do
the city more permanent injury than
anything which could happen. As
one stranger remarked, "We should
know the truth and be given chance
to guard against danger, II any ex-
lists, rather than let US take chances
of contracting disease because it
might hurt business. These same
parties who are loud In their denun
citation OF the Glacier have no com.
meDt to make ON the article sent
down to the Oregonian by the local
representative, which published to
the world the fact that there was
something the matter here, with the
water. and which circulated the re-
port much more widely than the
Glacier could have done. The fact
remains just the same, and until the
city goes into the water business
itself and provides pure supply,
the city will suffer. 1t is indeed un-
fortunate that the voters failed to
see matters in the right light and
voted for bonds. The fight will have
to be made all over again.
On account of so many delusions
which we're created by the opposition
to the spring owned by the city, the
city council are making arrangements
to more fully investigate the spring
and set the facts before the people.
Every detail will be fully figured
out, and it will be proved beyond
question just what can be done. The
exact amount of water will be measur.
ed, the amount OF pressure it will give
on the hill, and what 1t will cost to
complete municipal water system.
1t will be campaign of education.
Along that line the condition oi
the private water system will receive
attention, so. that It's worth may be
properly considered. AS oonsidera.
BILE light was thrown on the matter
by the trial several months ago be-
tween N. @. Evans and the company,
we print In this issue an extract OF
the testimony given by officers OF the
company, which will be followed by
others, and which 10 submitted with
out comment. This testimony was
given under cath and is a matter OF
pubic record.

tion. Naturally the owners of tho
present system will fight to protect
their interests, as Is now being done
by the water company at North Yak

owners at Corvallis. These struggles
with we'll intrenohed interests have
always to be faced and overcome by
the people In their forward march.
The writer has lived in several differ.

believed that the world was their
"Oyster" and that it was the duty
and should be the pleasure of every.
one else to stand and deliver when
commanded to do so by said eminent
Financiers; but Mr.. Editor, the
world moves and the plain people
have rights, and will not be denied /;
and the little clique or oligarchy that
tries to stop said forward movement
