Team work is necessary for the

Washington, said Senator Jonathan
Bourne Jr., in an interview at the
Hotel Josephine last evening There
were same 10000 bills introduced in
the last congress, touching apon ev-
cry phase OF national legislation. Be
sides that, there were innumerabIe
matters of local interest for the
members of the Oregon delegation
to look after. No one man can at
tend to all the subjects that come
up An effort to do SO would result
in duplication and waste Of effort
In order to avoid such duplica-
tion, Senator Chamberlain and my
self have an understanding that he
will take the lead in looking all
ter matters that properly come be-
fore his committees and ] will look
after matters that come before mine.
We always cooperate, however re-
gardless of which committee has a
matter in charge.
As everybody knows, WORK III
congress is done almost entirely
through committees and committee
appointments are of utmost import

REPORT IS FAVORABLE
To GRAVE CREEK WATER PROJECT
Estimated Cost, Covering Installation of Plant
for Municipal Water Supply, Irriga-
ton and Power, $5OO,OO0

than will be shown by actual guag-
mgs, would mean supply from the
natural drainage alone OF thirty
thousand acre feet, with the posi-.
bility of increasing to twice this
amount. This whole area or water
shed no doubt, would be set aside by
an act of congress for the protection
of a municipal water supply. and pos
sibly as national park reserve.
This volume of water flowing con-
tinuously from the first of April to
the first of October, the extremes Of
the irrigating season, would be an
average flow OF l12 second fee, for
the six months, which being reduced
to theoretical horse power available
for power purposes before being
turned into the irrigation canals,
would be an average of 10,1S2.
BY the construction of an auxll-
iary canal leading from near the
head Of Jump on Joe creek. as
shown by the contour map and
brought to the head of the delivery
pipe on Horse creek divide, it would
be made possible to maintain this
amount of power the year round
should the demand at any future
time require all of the storage avail
able on Grave creek for other pur-
poses.
Summary.
From the plan as outlined it Is
shown that there may be developed
a supply of pure mountain water suf-
hcient for municipal purposes, water
for irrigating 80 to 40 thousand
acres Of land and to supply a hydro
electric power plant of ten thousand
horse power capacity

16 miles of canal from res
ervoir to power plant. $4,000
II miles of pipe line $1,000
Total $82S, 600
In addition to this initial cost.
there is to be taken into considera-
tion the building and repairing OF
wagon roads engineering ana at
torney fees, risks and ncidentals
which would bring the total up TO
1866 900, with yet to be constructed
at least 80 miles of main canals for
irrigation, and the installation Of the
power plant and transmission line.
The power plant of course would be
installed by the unit system so as to
avoid the investment Of capital eX-
cept as the market for power should
demand Suppose the first unit 20
be of one thousand horse power ef-
iciency, and that II miles OF trans
mission line would reach the present
market for power, and that there ba
constructed 80 miles OF main irriga-
tion canals, there would be added
$4,000 to the Investment, bringing
the grand total up to 100000. This
amount is assumed TO complete the
entire project which would furnish
municipal water system for 25,-
900 people, deliver nearly 10000
horse power of electric energy. and
supply water for irrigation upon
thirty thousand acres Of productive
soil.

The transmission line for power
to the city would not exceed II

that the present line extending to

in police court this morning for draw
ing revolver on Walter Bragg, also

while the funeral of Jonathan Mitch
ell was going on and which both men
were attending.
Burden and Bragg have been enc
mics for two years and were in court
for similar offenses last year. The ties.
timony showed that Burden had pull
ed a gun on Bragg, but was overpow,
cred before he had a chance to use it
He was then brought to this city in a
horse and buggy by Bragg and his
father and turned over to the police.
The defendant claims that his life
had been threatened and that he had
been attacked by dogs when returning
to his home and that was his reason
for carrying the revolver. He said he
had no intention of shooting Bragg nor
any other man.
