came to light Tuesday morning Of this
week, when the "Husa - school in Sau.
ter township was invaded. Seats were
found to have been turned over, win
dows broken, pencils and other school
supplies taken away and other lawlcss
acts committed. There is very strong
circumstatial evidence to show that
the perpetrators Of the outrageous acts
were young Isaac Kujala and his com.
naion. one Backman.
The two were seen, by farmer liv-
ing near the school house, going to.
wards the school late Monday night.
Tuesday morning the men stopped at
Husa 8 place and claimed to have stay
ed over night at the Udelius farm. AZ
ter the discovery that the school house
had been broken into and rided, in
quiries were made amongst neighbor.
and it was found that no lodgings had
been asked by the men at any of til
neighboring farms.
Kujula, one Of the suspects, has a
reputation that is not to be envied
Being only about % years of aye he is
already a graduate of the state peni
Tertiary, besides course in the county
Jail.
A year ago last fall he was sentenced
by Ramsey county court to serve a
year at hard labor in the state "pen;'
for assault with a dangerous weapon:
having almost severed mans throat
with a knife in a drunken brawl at
Lawton. Two years before that he was
sent, with three other men, to the coun-
ty Jail for a month s term for disturb
ing the peace and making threats at
a farm house near Brockct.
Since MS release from the open
he has made threats Of what he is
going to do to those VIII oacted as in
terpreter and witnesses in his assault
case.
1t is to be hoped that the Walsh
county authorities will take the mat
ter vigorously in hand and teach thu
rowdies to leave property, public ane
private, alone, and insure safety Of
persons in this community.-Brocket

Make II Rain in July.

In the spring when the soil is COM
pact and moist about an inch Of mois-
ture will evaporate a week. Harrow
ing the land loosens up the surface and
stops this evaporation. The soil mulch
can be maintained after the crop is
planted by narrowing after it is up
from three to eight or nine inches. In
this way the moisture that would other.
wise evaporate can be saved up till
the crops need it in July and August.

Many Opelousas People ii Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause Of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness.
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of filtering the
blood and that is the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their Work-give
them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pilis-endorsed
by over one hundred thousand
people, and by your neighbors in

Mrs. T. Compton Chachere,

says: A member of my family
received splendid results from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procuoed from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for
some time by irregular passages

81 owth and progress OF this little city
Nor is he particular as to the meth
DDS he employs. He is an adept at
sharp practices and his long suit is to
Try to win a campaign-not in an
open manly way-but by sprinsiug
something at the eleventh hour when
too late he thinks for an effective
answer.
In the campaign for a mountain
water system McComas has striven to
work a coup by sending forth q let
ter denouncing the Thorn Hollow
project His attack need not be con-
sidered in detail here since it is ans
wered today by memoers of the wa
ter commission, men in whose judg-
ment ana patriotism the East ore
sonian feels the people of Pendleton
have confidence,
But a word as 20 the motives that
prompted Mr.. McComas in his lates,
move may be timely. Personally he
is grain buyer and conducts a busi-
ness that has no concern with a good
OF bad water supply for Pendleton
He is evidently concerned through the
fact that his wife is an heir to the
Byers' estate which estate claims ex-
elusive right to the Umatilla river
above Pendleton. The milling COM
pany has ever been jealous of its wa
ter right and it seems it is now going
so far as TO object when the people
Of Pendleton seek a water supply
from the springs that flow from the
Blue mountains, because the springs
flow into the river. 1t is a sample Of
koggishness that would move the an
gel Gabriel to curses of disgust and
anger.
Citizens who think the Byers milling
company has a divine right TO all the
waters Of this vicinity, above and be-
low the ground, and that the men.
women and children of Pendleton
should have to drink swill will do well
to vote tomorrow as Mr.. McComas die
tates.
Those who stand for Pendleton and
for the welfare and happiness of its
people will vote for the mountain
water system.

TO PROTECT; NOT INJURE.

Some people who DO not believe in
improvements are trying to scare
property owners in regard TO the
street Improvement amendment. They
would have people believe the am
endment if it is adopted will throw
them into bankruptcy.
1t is true the amendment will pro-
mote Improvements and il it is ad-
opted We will probably have a large
amount of street work done during
the next few years. Who can deny
that such work is needed? Our streets
are disgraceful and it has long been
a joke among farmers that the roads
leading into Pendleton are very good
until one reaches the city limits.
The main feature about the am
endment, though, is that it gives the
council wide latitude in assessing
property owners for work that is done.
Il has been found that the present
arbitrary system of making every man
pay for whatever is done in front. Of
his property at times works grave in
justice. Under the amendment the
city will be able to avoid such things.
II other words the amendment is IL
able to prevent the throwing Of a
small property owner into bankruptcy
Under the present charter it is al
times hard for the city to do work
without almost driving some home
owner out of existence. This was
particularly true when the big fill was
made in the south hill gulch.,
People who believe in progress and
are willing to do their part towards
bettering the city need not fear th'
street improving amendment. 1t is in
tended to promote improvements am
TO protect property owners against in
justice, not to work injustice on any
one
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-05-08
VOTE THE WATER SYSTEM.

BY their votes tomorrow the peo-
ple Of Pendleton will pass upon
whether or not they wish a mountain
water supply, sewer extensions and
a new method Of assessing property
for street improvements. All six am
endments on the ballot bear directly
or indirectly upon these three issues.
Naturally the water system ranks
first in Importance. For years local
people have been dissatisfied with the
water supply. The supply is not ade-
ouate and at times in the summer it
is necessary to use water that is not
of the best quality.
If the bonds are voted tomorrow
the water board will construct a grav-
ity system with the Thorn Hollow
springs as the source Of supply. The
springs to be used at first will supply
twice the amount Of water now used
here and by securing another spring
a few miles distant the Thorn Hol-
low supply may be doubled. So the
Thorn Hollow water system should
supply the city with abundant water
for many years TO come. When the
city grows sufficiently to justify the
Improvement the pipe line can be ex-
tended to the north fork Of the Una
tilla-the ultimate goal of those who
favor mountain water.
II has been charged by parties per-
scnally interested in blocking a grav-
fly system that it is too big an under
taking That plea is ridiculous. The
sum Of 5000, 900 is not a large am
cunt at all for city like Pendleton
to pay sor a water system. Other
towns no larger have paid 100000
for water systems.
BY figures submitted the public to-
day the members Of the water board
show that the financing Of the new
water system viii not be hard. For
one thing a gravity system will save
over $1,000 per annum in maintenance
expenses, or the interest on over two
fifths the new investment. We now
pay $500 per aunum for electricity
for pumping purposes. Plainly it is
POOR business to maintain a pumping
system.
With the gravity system constructed
and in operation there will be two
reservoirs from which water may be
taken for use in any part Of the city.
Il VIII be better water than is now
obtained and there will be plenty OF
It, Instead Of making a prohibitive
rate on water for lawn sprlnkling the
board will reduce the sprinkling rate,
This will mean better lawns and
gardens and a more beautiful PEN
6leton.
But the principal benefit Of a noun
tain water system will arise from the
fact that it will give the people Of the
city the best water supply obtainable
and SO viii promote their health and
happiness.
The mountain water system should
carry tomorrow by ten to one vote

MEET THE OBLIGATION.

When the branch asylum was locat-
ed here the people Of Pendleton as
s4med the obligation Of providing
that institution with an ample supply
OF good water. In order to do this it
is absolutely necessary to construct a
gravity system. The present water
works does not provide enough wa
ter for the town as it now exists If
Pendleton wants the branch asylum
it must meet it's obligations.
