MAYOR MATLOCK IS
FOR CAYUSE SPRINGS
AS SOLE SOURCE or
PENDIETON'S WATER SUPPLY
WI Advise Commission of His Opin-
ion That Ii Is More Desirable Than
Thorn Hollow, Which Committee
Strongly Eayors.

That the Cayuse springs fulfills all
of the requirements as source of
supply for a gravity water system is
the conclusion which Mayor w. f.
Matlock has reached aftker ar inves-
tigation conducted upon his own inf
tiative and he will make suggestion
to that effect to the board of water
commissioners which has already
made tentative selection of the
Thorn Hollow springs. This was the
statement made by the mayor this
afternoon but he made it plain that
he has no intention of usurping the
privileges vested in the commission.
"I have had j. w. Kimbrell make
an investigation" he said. "and from
his report l believe the CayuHe
springs to be the most desirable
source of gravity water supply. In
constructing gravity water system
for Pendleton, there are three re-
uuirements which must be met. The
source of supply must afford flow
of 100000 gallons of water daily,
the new reservoir must have four
times the capacity of the present res
ervoir ana the elevation of the source
must be " IOiSC thC "oNSA
to a level forty feet higher than the
present reservoir. In my estimation
the Cayuse springs meet these re-
quirements."
.'There is no question as to the flow
from the springs. Engineering esu-
mates place the minimum flow in
summer at S,5OOOO0 gallons daily, al
most twice as much as will be need
ed here in many years. With a twen-
tv-four inch pipe lire, 1 am informed
that the water can be raised forty
feet above the level of the present
reservoir. A reservoir of four times
the capacity Of the present one Is
necessary for fire protection. With
two million gallons stored there and
an inflow of 100000 gallons daily,
we would have enough for all needs.
This investigation has been side
issue with me, for the big aim OF my
administration Will be to secure per-
1naney.t improvements for the prin-

SHIP Is TURNED OVER
BY HER CRUST OF ICE.

New York.-How a three masted
schooner had capsized through the
weight of ice on her rigging was told
in a wireless message to the Com
mercial Cable company from the
steamship Mackay Bennett. The
Mackay Bennett, cable repair ship,
was operating east of Halifax when
she fell in with the Caledonia, a
Nova Scotia vessel which had set out
from Lunenberg, bound for New
York.
The sailing craft had been making
heavy weather, and the sheets of
spray thrown upon her rigging had
frozen. The crew of ten let it be
known that they We're anxious to be
rescued from their drifting berg. With
great difficulty, owing to the heavy
sea, they were transferred to the
steamer. Then towline was run
to the schooner and lanterns hoisted
in her rigging to indicate that she
was under tow. Throughout the en-
suing night the steamer lurched
through the sea, dragging her wallow-
ing burden.
When the dawn came a fierce
northwester and the light showed the
schooner sharply careened under its
weight of ice. Then came the cap
sizing and the swapping of the tow
line from the strain. The wreck did
not sink and may remain long mem
ace to navigation unless derelict de-
stroyer finds and sinks it. That mar
iners may be warned of its presence,
the captain of the cable ship gave

Cooler weather Welcomed.

Farmers and fruitgrowers In par
ticular are welcoming gladly the cool
er weather which has succeeded the
two weeks of springlike days. Un-
der the influence OF the warm sun
shine and refreshing showers, vege-
tation has been developing prema-
turely and the ranchers feel that there
should be several weeks of winter
weather to hold back this growth
Fruit buds in particular have been
growing fast, subjecting the horti-
culturists to the fear of damage by
frost The weather turned percep-
tibly cooler last evening and during
the night a heavy furry of snow fell

New Class Is Abandoned.

After teaching but two days, Miss
Fay Warren is without a class
through no fault of her own. She had
been given a fifth grade and a sew
enth grade class from crowded rooms
in the Hawthorne and Washington
schools and was assigned a room in
the Field school, but owing to the OBJ
lection to the change by many par
ents on account OF the added dis
tance which their children would
have to traverse under the new ar
rangement. the board finally decided
to allow the pupils 70 remain in the

Indiana University Graduate Rears

Bloomington, Ind.-A graduate OF
Indiana university, DR.. L. Conradt'
now of Clark university, has trained
young sparrows to sing like canary
birds by simply putting them with
the songsters. DR.. Conradt has beer
making experiments with the much
despised sparrow for several years,
and his work has now been crowned
with success. Professor M. e. Hag-
gerty of Indiana university has been
conducting experiments much along
the same lines in connection with his
study of the initiative behavior of
animals. He says that it is now
known fact that the young sparrows
when placed with the canary will inn
itate that bird and pick up many of
its notes.

MORE THAN 100000 ARE

Report of Rockefeller Sanitary Com

Washington, d. C.-More than
100000 persons in nine states of the
south were treated for the hook worm
disease by the Rockefeller sanitary
commission during the last year, ac-
cording to the second annual report
Of the commission.
The great value of the work done,
however, was not in the number of
people aided to better health, the re-
port says, but in the fact that the
people are being educated in sani-
tation and that the states co-operat-
ing with the commission. have en-

ed by insanitary conditions.

WINDSOR SIGNS UP FOR
HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER

Windsor S! city council voted, Friday
night in special session, TO sign a
contract with the Ontario hydro-elec-
trio commission for thee use OF $500
horsepower per year. The commits
sion assures the city that the trans
mission lines will be built into Wind
sor within a year. They are now up
as far as st. Thomas, Ont, about 10
miles east Of Windsor The cost OF
the power, which is generated at Mag
are Falls; is to be $3S per horsepower
at the start, but Adam Beck, chairman
of the commission, told the council
that the price would undoubtedly be
lowered with increased use OF cleo
tricity. He said that ST. Thomas is
now getting the power at the rate OF
s2S per horsepower, whereas that
city had contracted to pay 500. Mr.
Beck said that Windsor would not be
penalized IL it failed to use as much
power as Ii contracted for. He had
no fear that Windsor would not use
all of ., 500 horsepower, and more, be
cause. he said, the commission plan
ned to shut out foreign competition.
