The first step toward securing q
gravity supply of pure mountain wa
ter for the city Of Pendleton has been
taken.
More than ever convinced OF the
need Of more and better water, the
board OF commissioners has finally
decided to no longer delay taking the
initial step. The city viii not be
supplied with mountain water this
summer, not this winter and possibly
not next summer, but according to
Chairman J. T. Brown or the board Of
water commissioners. the day is not
very far distant when residents Of
Pendleton will be furnished with the
purest of the pure, brought through a
pipe line from the Blue mountains
At a recent meeting of the COM
mission it was decided to undertake
the proposition without further delay.
Accordingly F. S. Kelsay, the we'll
known northwest engineer, was COM
municated with and secured to per-
form the first part OF the work. In
company with his son. A. Kelsay, and
Robert Oberteuffer. he arrived Sum-
day from Tacoma, organized sur
veying party and is now engaged in
surveying a pipe line rom the forks
of the Umatilla river. above Wenaha
springs, to Pendleton. Kelsay wild
superintend the starting of the work.
after which Oberteurrer will be fp
charge. other members Of the sur
yeying party who left Pendleton last
evening for the scene OF operations
are Tom Hill, Chick Hastings and
George Clark.
AS soon as the line is surveyed and
denifitely located the work of secur-
ing the right of way will be undertake
en-. This will probably require a
year. for since the pipe line will cross
the Umatilla Indian reservation II
will be necessary for a bill to be put
through congress granting the right
of way across the Indian reserve.
From the eastern border of the res
ervation to the forks of the river the
proposed pipe line VIII cross private
lands and some time viii probably be
necessary to secure the necessary per-
mission for this part.
w nllt IL is llle oPihlOh VI hShhbthS
of the board of water commissioners
that a sufficient supply for the pres
ent size of Pendleton can be obtain
ed from the Thorne Hollow springs.
the right of way will be secured clear
to the forks of the river, so that as the
city grows and her needs increase, IL
will be easy to extend the line to the
works of the river and bring supply
from the north fork of the stream. II
is nearly S5 miles from Pendleton to
the forks of the river and the ex-
pense of bringing the water this dis
lance is more than the commission
feels the city is able to incur at this
time.
The subject OF gravity water sup
ply is one that has been agitating the
of Pendleton residents for
many years The need of it has never
been questioned, but owing 10 the
great expense involved. the solution
OF the problem presented has been
difficult.

Pendleton Man Will Not Enter
GabernatoriaI Race for Pri-
mary Nomination.
URGES ANTI-ASSEMBLYIT
To CONCENTRATE ON DLIICK
Judge Lowell Adheres to Original In
tentiOn of Waiting Two Years to
Make Race for Senate Against
Bourne-Thinks Dimick Strongest
Man IN Field Against Bowerman
and Urges Anti-Assembly RepubIi-
cans TO Support Him.

Judge Stephen A. Lowell of this city
will not be candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. He
has refused to be swerved from his
original intention of waiting two years
and then making the race against
Jonathan Bourne for the United
States senate. Upon his return this
morning from Portland he said he
believed the hope of the anti-assem-
bly, forces rests in their ability to con-
centrate their efforts upon Judge
Grant B. Dimick of Oregon City.
Judge Lowell says he found the anti
assembly sentiment fully as strong in
Portland as it is in the other parts of
the state and he declared with one
candidate against Bowerman, the lat
passed
While in Portland the judge granted
the following interview concerning the
present political situation to the Port
land Journal:
at is not alone a question Of as
sembly and anti-assembly, it is a ques-
ton of progression against retrogres-
sion. 1t is a question of whether the
new order of things shall continue or
the state shall go back to the old. I
believe that the people of Oregon
want to remain in the new era"
I'm my belief the anti-assembly
forces should concentrate on Grant B.
Dimick for governor and put him in
nomination." continued Judge Lowell.
I'm my belief it is necessary for the
retention of the new order of things
political in Oregon to beat Jay Bow
erman for the republican nomination
for governor. 1t is not a question of
men. 1t is a question of principle.
Jay Bowerman is a personal friend of
mine. / admire the man. but If he
were to be put in the governors chair
he would have machine built before
the end of his term that would put
the old machine clear in the shade.
BOwerman Machine Man.
"Bowerman was raised in Marion
county. He plays the game as he was
taught to play it in Marion county in
the old days. He is a machine man,
and to elect him would be to fasten
the assembly on the state for a gem
Grafton to come. It is necessary to
beat him. therefore, in my opinion;
and the only way to do it is to con-
centrate on Dimick
THE spirit of insurgency is in the
air." continued Judge Lowell. What
has been shown us in California, in
Nevada, Kansas and the other states
that have pointed the way during the
past two weeks, is in the air in Ore
gon. This is an insurgenv state. The
people here want the new order of
things. They want to escape from
the old. And it is wen for them to
do so.
Therefore, l say that the issue

Washington, Aug. 23.-The first in

that he will make speedy reparation

But the Bowerman strength is a

lined up and will stay that way until
the votes have been cast To defeat
this strength it viii De necessary to

that a concentrated effort be made

There are no two public questions
of more vital Importance to the fu-
ture OF this country than the problem
Of conservation and the problem Of
the betterment of public life. More
over, these two problems are really
fnterdependent, for neither Of them
can be successfully solved save on
condition that there is at least n
measurable success in the effort to
solve the other.
We are now trying to preserve, not
for exploitation by individuals, but
for the permanent benefit OF the whole
people, the waters and the forests,
and we are doing this primarily as a
means OF adding to the fertility OF the
soil; although in each case there is a
great secondary use both Of the wa
ter and of the forests for commercial
and industrial purposes. In the same
way II is essential for the farmers
themselves to try to broaden the life
OF the man who lives in the open
country; to make 1t more attractive:
to give Il every adjunct and aid to
development which has been given to
the life OF the man of the cities.
The human side of the rural life
problem is to make the career of the
farmer and the career Of the farm la
borer as attractive and as remuner-
ative as corresponding careers in the
city.
One reason why the great business
men OF today-the great industrial
leaders-have gone ahead, while the
farmer has tended to lag behind the
others, is that they are far more will
ling and indeed eager. to profit by
expert and technical knowledge-the
knowledge that can only come as a
result OF the highest education. From
railways to factories no great indus
trial concern can nowadays be carried
on save by the aid of a swarm Of men
who have received high technical,

education in chemistry, in engineer
scores of special subjects.
In just the same way the farmers
should benefit by the advice Of the
technical men who have been trained
in phases OF the very work the farm
er does.
During the last half century we have
begun to develop a system of agricul-
tural education at once practical and
scientific, and we must go on de-
veloping it.
Down in Long Island where l live
men connected with the Long Island
railroad have put practical men in
charge of experimental farms, culti-
waiting them intensely, and using the
best modern methods, not only in
raising crops, but in securing the best
market for the crops when raised.
The growth has been astonishing, and
land only forty miles from New York,
which during our entire national life
time has been treated worthless, has
within the last three or four years
been proved to possess really high
value. q
The farmer, however, must not only
make his land pay. but he must make
country life interesting for himself
and for his wife and his sons and
daughters. Our people as a whole re-
alize the infinite possibilities OF life in
the country; and every effort should
be made to make these possibilities
more possible.
Commends Grange.
Farmers should learn how to COM
bine effectively, as has been done in
industry. I am particularly glad to
speak to the Grange, for 1 heartily
believe in farmers organizations; and
we should all welcome every step
taken towards an increasing cooper
alton among farmers. The Importance
of such movements cannot be over
estimated; and through such INTEL
ligent joint action 1t will be possible
to improve the market just as much
as the farm.
Country life should be as attractive
as city life, and the country people
should insist on having their full rep
resentation when it comes to dealing
with all great public questions. In
other words. country folks should de-
mand that they work on equal terms
with city folks in all such matters,
They should have their share in the
memberships of commissions and
councils: in short, of all the organ
lied bodies for laying plans for great
enterprises affecting all the people.
The country church should be made
a true social center. alive to every
need OF the community, standing for

and in recreation, caring more for con-
duct than for dogma, more for ethical

for merely formal piety. The country

for economic, social, and educational
