Worlds Series to Be Played EarlicI

Worlds Series to Be Played Earlier
New York, Jan. 21.-Upon his re-
turn from Aiken, S. c., where Barney
Dreyfuss and Ban Johnson assisted
him in the drawing of the major league
schedules, John A. IIeydler, secretary
of the National league, spoke of sey-
eral changes that had been made III
the arrangements for the coming sea
SOD. Most interesting of all was the
announcement that both leagues are
to end their schedules on October i,
instead of October or 10, as usual.
This means that the worlds cham
pionship series will be started four
or five days earlier than customary.
No previous schedules, said Mr..
IIeydler, have had fewer conflicts of
dates between American and National
league teams than the one just COM
pleted. In all there are three or four
days on which two games are schcd-
uled to be played in any one city, and
these conflicts may be eventually elm
mated by arrangements with the clubs.

Pendeton Soon to Have Fine Mountain Water
Piped II Miles From Thorn Hollow Springs

This week saw the clearing OF the
last obstacle in the way OF the con-
struotion OF a 100000 gravity water
system which will provide the citi-
zens OF Pendleton with pure water
ftom mountain springs. The suits
against forty Indians to condemn

way across the Cmatilla reservation
for a pipe line have. just been tried

The fight 10 secure this rlght-of-
way was the last OF series Of bat
ties which the city water commits
sion had 70 wage before a gravity
system could be secured. The voting
OF the bonds was the easiest OF all
FOR the great majority of the citizens
Of Pendleton were strongly in favor
of a mountain water supply. But
when II came TO the selection OF a
source. two factions arose and a fight
OF some bitterness ensued. The Thorn
Hollow springs. II miles east OF Pen
dleton were finally chosen and then
came the battle to secure them, for
they We're situated upon Indian land
and no amount Of money could induce
the red owners to give them up. The
tenacity with which wenix, an old
squaw, and her son Red Elk. clung TO
their heritage until they were forcibly
elected Is one OF the many dramatic
and pathetic incidents in the push
ing aside OF the Indian by civiliza>
tton.
Indians Fight for Springs.
Wenix, who Is a daughter OF the IA
mour DR. Thomas Mckay, well known
10 Oregon history. owned the aIlott-
ment upon which the springs were To-
Gated. With her son. Red Elk. and
her two daughters. she had been
camped in her tepee beside the
springs for many years and resolutely
they refused to give them up to the
white man. Even after the land had
been condemned. they still held their
camp there and more than once Red
Elk and band of Indians who
sympathized with him. drove off the
laborers who were sent there to pre-
pare the springs as a source Of sun
ply. For more than a year after the
court had ordered that they must
sell their land to the city. they kept
their camp by the springs.
Finally an order of ejectment was
secured from the court AMI early one
morning Deputy Sheriffs Joe Blakely
and George Strand set out for Thorn
Hollow springs to carry out the or
der. Thy found old wenix and her
daughters in their camp alone, Red
Elk having left for his fields They
piled all OF the belongings Of the In
iians into a wagon, the women
watching them without word. Fin
any they came to the bed upon
which the aged squaw was sitting and
they were forced to lift her and lead
her from the camp. She went with

Thorn Hollow. on account of the
roughness of the surface at this point.
the commission decided it could save
time and money by laying the pipe
itself on the day labor plan. Be-
tween the springs and the reservoirs.
there will have to be constructed in
the pipe line 6 single syphons and one
double syphon on account OF washouts
and gulches which intersect the line.
The deepest syphon win be at a point
about ten miles east of the city, the
declivity requiring a 90 foot head,
The first seven or eight miles east Of
the city, the line will run along land
OF unbroken contour ana the dirt will
be soft so that it is estimated that the
CO cmpany will be able TO dig 1000
yards OF ditch a day.
The two reservoirs will be con-
structed about 400 feet to the south
of the present city reservoir and will
thus be considerably higher They
will be 1S5 feet above the Main street
grade and between the Thorn Hollow
springs and the reservoir there is a
drop of 220 feet. The flow of the
springs when measured about three

weeks ago was million and a half
gallons daily. During the hottest
weather of the summer the maximum
amount of water used here was $780,
600 gallons day. so that the springs
as a source of supply will be amply
sufficient for the demands OF the city
for years to come.
The two concrete reservoirs will be
81 feet by l24 feet in dimensions and
both will be rooted over. They will
be joined by distributing house, and
a bypass system will be installed
which viii permit the water to flow
directly from the pipe lines into the
mains without entering either of the
reservoirs.
BY the terms of the contract the
pipe line must be completed by June
/, 1914, and the company was re-
quired to give a bond to fulfill the en-
gineering requirements. one of which
is that there must not be over a two
per cent loss of water between the
springs and the reservoir.
The contractor will establish plants
for the manufacture of the concrete
pipe at Pendleton, Mission and Cay
use and viii use Umatilla gravel and
sand, which Is said to be the best on
the coast for this purpose
