Water Mains At
Limits OF Town
8 Inch Pipe Arrives And Big Steam
Ditcher Again At
Work.

After conside able delay, enough
pipe has arrived to complete the
supply main to the reservoir. All the
eight inch pipe is on the ground.
Pipe laying was completed to the
county road at McCormick's Wednes-
day, The ditch had been dug that
far two weeks ago and the big steam
ditcher took long rest, waiting for
pipe so the pipe laying could catch
up with the open trench.
This was done Wednesday and
Thursday the big ditcher started
again, cutting angling across the
Stumbaugh place and on Friday was
coming into town down the county
lane that connects with River street,
The main will be laid down River
street to Residence street, thence
across he reservoir on Atkins hill.
The reservoir is complete and ready
to receive water.
Engineer R, X, Lowry was here
Thursday and was pleased with the
progress of the work. He says work
will begin on La Grande's new sys'
TEN as soon as the eastern attorneys
approve the legality of the recent
election, which shouldn't take them
long as they prepared all the papers.

STATES COOPERATE
WITH UNCLE SAM
OREGON AND WASHINGTON WILL
HELP COMPILE FOREST FIRE
STATISTICS.

Portland, Ore, July 1-State Of
ficials, associations, and individuals
will cooperate with the United States
Forest Service in an attempt to get
accurate records of all fire losses in
Washington and Oregon this sum
mer. The Forest Service will CON-
pile report showing by counties, the
area burned over Of merchantable
timer, non-ner> han able timber, and
cut over land; the quantity and value
Of the timber destroyed, and the cost
Of fighting the fires. In this way the
Federal and State Governments as
well as the public will be enabled TO
obtain at once systematic informa-
ton concerning all fire losses In these
states.
Heretofore, this information has
been only pertia ly collected. The
Forest Service has secured compre-
hensive reports from rangers on the
National Forests, but from no othe'
source. The State Boards of Fores,
ry in Oregon and Washington have
had reports from their wardens, bu
msny regions hal no wardens. The
State and Government statistics wert
in different form and not brought
together. Consequently, although
those interested in the subject know
in general way that fire entails al
enormous loss to the community every
year, they have been unable to back
their arguments for remedial action
with any definite proof,
District Forester e, T. Allen is re
ceivi1g the active help Of the Ore
gon Conservation Association, the
Oregon State Board of Forestry. an6
the Washington Forest Fire Associa
ton in organizing the work. The
two latter have revised their repor'
forms to bring out the same facts
regarding all fires. The Oregon Con
Servation Associate is canvassin;
the state to secure suitable men tt
act as fire wardens and report or
fires in their territory and presents
their names to the State Board TO
appointment. 1t viii also send eacl
man a post card reminder every twt
weeks, with a return card on which
he will enter few main facts abou
the fire. The Washington Fores
Fire Association will collect reports
from its rangers and from other cor
respondents where 1t has no rangers
The Forest Service will furnish frank
ed envelopes for mailing in the re
ports, and compile the results. Th'
Washington State Board Of Forestr!
has not made any agreement as yet
but will undoubtedly furnish all tn
aid it can
Every lumbeima or any one els
who is interested in preventing fores
fires, will see the advantage in brils
ing this information before the put
lie and can be of great assistance b.
reporting fires in his vicinity. Form

Working along the line OF securing
the greatest results in protection
against fire, with a minimum OF ex-
pendiutre, the Forest Service has de
cided to establish on the most advan
tageous points of the National Forest
in the west a series of lookout sta
tions from which news of the break
ing out Of forest fires can be tee
phoned to Forest officials.
Since all OF these stations will CON
mand a view OF the country for miles
around the work of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires in their incipiency
will, by this plan, be greatly expedit-
ed. with the result that many thous
ands of dollars worth of valuable tim
Der win be saved annually
In most OF the National Forest
states the climate is very dry, aud
the rainfall light. Conditions. there
fore. are remarkably favorable for
the spread of fire and extraordinary
diligence Is necessary in patroiling
dangerous areas. To administer the
vast area included in the National
Forests, approximately l95.OOO,o ,oo'
acres, the government has about l,4oC
men In the field. IL each man could
be used for fire patrol, he would
have to cover approximately l3S,ooC
acres. AS matter of fact. however
the volume OF business on the Nation
al Forests has grown to such proper
tions that less than twenty-five pei

CONAWAY TO AID
MULTN0MAH CLUB
PORTLAND MANAGER GREATLY
ELATED OVER HIS Find"
IN THIS CITY.

Frank E. Watkins, manager of the
Mulnomah Club track team, which
will take part in the A. A. U. meet
at the Seattle Exposition next month.
has unearthed fine in A. B. Coma
way, q former Wisconsin athlete,
who is just now practicing at Enter
prise, Or. says the Oregonian. He
has written to express his readiness
to don the clubs colors. Conway
has been out of college only year,
but has kept himself in such good
physical trim in the meantime that
he could enter a meet with very lit
tie training.
In build, Conway is a strapping
young Hercules. He stands feet
5 inches in height and strips at 2SO
pounds. He took second in the shot
put and third in the hammerthrow
in the big Western conference meet
at Chicago in 1897, and he holds the
shot-put record of the Iowa Intercol-
legiate association, besides the ham
mer and shot-put records of the Mis-
souri, Atlantic association. Watkins
is confident that Conway can do his
part toward taking care OF the weight
events at the meet with full credit
to the club. even in case Ralph Rose,
Flanagan, Sheridan and McGrath are
among his competi ors.
In addition to his ability as track
athlete. Conaway IS also a strong
, football player. On his college team
he held down one of the guards posi-
tions for several years. AS he likes
the game and has written to WATKINS
that he would lie to meet some OF
the clubs football men and have a
look at their lineup. it is probaole
he will be seen on the field in tae
coming season.
The foregoing article gives MT.
Conway as an alumnus of Wisconsin
which is incorrect. He is a graduate
Of Drake University at Des Moines'
Iowa, and his height is 6 feet, 512
inches.
