HOURS AS RESULT Of SEVERE WIND STORM

As result of the storm last night
and the absence of electric power
during ,he forenoon Pendleton today
faced the worst water shortage of the
season The pump at the water
works is operated by electricity and
there is an auxiliary steam pump that

genCy.
But when the power went off to-
day and the emergency pump was
needed it was not in working con-
ditiou. 1t was necessary To have a
casting fixed and in fact that brokeen
part was at the iron foundry at the
time. However the electric current
being off at the foundry prevented
the machinists from repairing the
broken part. In order TO fix the cast

Utah Solon's Arguments
Against Statehood.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Asserting that
the people of Arizona mad better lose
statehood than 10 Jose the right of
controlling their goyefhment, Senator
Bourne OF oregon today rs2lied to a
recent speech made by Senator suth-
erland critlcising the recall of judges
provision in the Arizona constitution.
Bourne asserted that he favored the
recall of judiciary and direct primar-
les for president.
Among other things, Senator
Bourne said;
II believe in truly representative
government, not a puer democracy,
but under the political system which
has been built up, government Is not
truly representative and will not be
until the people have power to make
it so. The initiative and referendum
supersede no state legislature: they
merely provide the popl a means of
securing laws which legislatures re-
fuse to enact and of defeating unde-
sired laws which legislatures do en-
act "

judge Of the benefits. The council
has wide powers in the matter Of
