This was Koncho Kononels initial
performance on the show bench and
considering that he is young dog
and showed against an entry of six
teen collies in all classes and was
judged by Mr.. J. Fl. Steffens of New

owners can be justly proud.
This dog is one of the best in the

WHAT Is CARNEGIE WORTH?

When rumors were flashed over
the land again one day recently that
Andrew Carnegie was dead, the query
on everybody's lips was: How much
money did he leave?"
Mr.. Carnegie himself made the i'm
mortal remark that it is crime to
die rich-being one crime which most
of Us win escape without violent ef-
fort.
But how much is Carnegie worth :?
Since he sold his steel works the
income from the bonds he received in
Payment as amounted to 100000

spent 50 100000 a year to maintain
his frugal household and have given
away $40, 100000 and still have all

WHY DO THEY FIGHT

n OR some reason efforts
are underway here to in
jure Pendleton by slurJ-

gagged in this business use fair

The gravity system has not
proven a failure and those who
try to create such an impTes-
sion deal in fasehood-
Since the Thorn Hollow pro-
ject went into use there has not
been a day when the city has
not had from a half million to
several million gallons more
water than was formerly OBJ
tainable under the old pUmp-
ing plant.
There has not been day
when the use of water for
household or irrigation pur-
poses has been curtailed IN the
slightest.
The quality Of water under
the new system is inestimably
better than under the old.
Both strangers and local peo-
pie are willing to drink the wa
ter now obtained. They were
afraid of the old supply. The
new water supply means less
sickness and fewer graves.

pioned the southern mobs who take
the law into their own ands. Lynch
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-08-27

is a distinct success. The city
saves $1,000 a year in pumping
charges and this saving to-
gether with the reduction
made in insurance rates will
more than offset the annual in
tereSt on the water bonds.
Under the new system people
are allowed 25 per cent more
water at the same price they
formerly paid. In other words
the cost of water to patrons
has been reduced.
The growth of the city and
the establishment OF several
parks requiring much water
has increased the consumption
of water in Pendleton. But
this is a wholesome condition,
not a bad one, If in time
through this civic growth the
from Thorn Hollow
proves unequal to local de-
the condition will be
complimentary to Pendleton
and will be no reflecuon on the
water system, But when that
time comes it viii be easy to
obtain more good water and
the old pumping plant will
never be revived. The pipe
line may be extended to the
ChapliSh springs, owned by the
city, or to the north fork of the
Umatilla in the heart of the
Blue mountains above Bing-
ham, and an immense supply
thereby be obtained.
Local people have no reason
to worry over the gravity wa
ter system. They have many
reasons to feel proud Of it. 1t
is the best Improvement ever
secured by the city and to a
considerable extent is respon-
Sible for many new h0mes be-
ing built here.
All who denounce the grav-
ity system are not dishonest or
inSinceTe. A certain n1mber of
people have always felt it was
needless and that the old
pumping plant was good en-
ough. But such people never
constituted the organized op-
position to the system. The
fight was organized and dl-
rected by parties with a selfish
at stake. The ideEtity
Of that opposition is well
known and the reason for the
fight has been made clear
many times.
But why should this war
fare be continued now? The
gravity system is established
and will never be given up. !
What is TO be gained by trying
o discredit it? Every slur al
