SALEM DRINKS SLOUGH WATER
Water Main Breaks and Trouble For
Company Follows.

SALEM, Or, Nov. 13.-According
to rumor spreading over Salem,
water consumers here are again being
supplied with water from the Will
lamette Slough, which is between
the water company's intake and its
pumping station.
1t is said that as a result of the
company closing its intake at the
crib in the Willamette river and
neglecting to shut down its pumps,
the vacuum forming in the big intake
pipe caused it to burst for several
feet. 1t is known that a diver has
been engaged for several days in the
slough, but what his purpose was
cannot be ascertained. The Salem
Water company denied the pipe is
out of order when asked yesterday
saying the rumor is entirely with
out foundation. The water company
recently installed a new intake pipe
to its crib in the river, but accord
ing to those who profess to know
conditions the old pipe is still in use
as an additional intake.

NEW CHURCH BUILDING is
USED FOR FIRST TIME
Sunday Morning Services Conducted
in Recently Erected Church of
Christ Edifce.

The first services in the new
Church of Christ building, on the
corner Of Clay and Jefferson streets,
were conducted last Sunday morning
by the minister, Rev. Leon L. Ny
ers. Although the interior of the
structure is unfinished it will be
used from now on as the cold wealth
er necessitated abandoning the Tab
ernacle, which has been torn down
and removed. Owing to the absence
of lights, the evening services were
not held and the majority of the
congregation attended the United
Evangelical church and listened to
sermon by Rev. c. P. Gates.
The dedication of the new church
will not be held until some time in
the beginning of the new year. as it
is expected that the seats, which are
now being manufactured in Portland
will be ready then.
