see how a better water supply could
have been secured by Pendleton. AS
compared with most towns the water
supply is excellent and will he hard
to surpass when enough water has
been obtained from springs so as to
eliminate the taking of water direct
from the river.
One Third from River.
At present approximately one third
of the water is taken direct from the
Umatilla river just below Thorn Hol-
low station. The change in the cur
rent of the river washed out a Sec
tion of the old north unit and the
stream now flows directly over this
pipe which was formerly closed and
some distance from the stream.
hole was knocked in this pipe as II
rests in the bed of the stream and a
screen placed over the opening TO
keep out debris. From this source wa
ter is taken through a six inch pipe
which runs full. The remainder OF
the water comes from the pipes to
the springzlRp. the south side of the
track.

With a crew of 20 men ndw-ou the
job work is being rushed on the fnAe
extension. Two shifts are being
worked at pipe making and superin.
tendent Hays believes that he will
connect up with the first spring by
July 20. When this is done there is
good chance sufficient new water
can be obtained that it will no long
er be necessary to take any water
water from the river.
Just above the pipe making plant
a 120 foot tunnel is now being con-
structed through a HILL This tunnel
is now made to a depth of 40 feet. |
When it is finished the work above !
that point will be of a simple nature
and fast headway can be made. II
will then be necessary to develop the |
Chaplish spring and to drain off all |
surface water. Some estimates are
that this work can be finished by Au- |
gust 90, thereby giving an abundant |
supply for all the needs of the city.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calo-
mel when few cents buys large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1T is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and
you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Dom tlose days
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
ness. constipation, sluggishness, head
achee, coated tongue or sour stom-
ach. Your druggist says it you don't
find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than horrible calomel your money is
waiting for you.
