Report of Basr and Cunning
ham Declares, However,

ton Considered Advisable

The following report is based upon
ian examination of your water system
by Mr. Cunningham, on August II,
20 and 27.
As we understand the situation, the
present water supply of The city of
: IPendleton, even with the extension to
/ Ichaplish Springs, is barely sufficient
! for present needs. Foreseeing the
growth of the city, the water commits
sion desires to anticipate future re-
lquirements and develop "A general pro-
gram for future development and con-
struction. Such n plan is certainly in
accordance with good business princi-
pies. and will, IN "A long run, mean an
actual saving in cost, in addition to
eliminating those difficult periods
when the demand has exceeded the
supply and extension must be made
with view to speed, rather than eco
nomy or efficiency.
In the consideration of ground wa
ter supplies. II is folly to base conclu-
sions upon unsupported theory of
what Is taking place beneath the sur
face. The best information which can
be obtained Is little enough. For the
work which has previously been done
in the development of spring water
along the Umatflla river we find avail
able practically nothing in the way of
engineering data, surveys and meas
urements. further than the bare con-
drawings, and FOR this reason
the present report must he simply pre-
in nature, and attempt to
outline "A plan for future studies rather
than make definite recommendations
for improvements
We believe that the Commission
will conceive OF situation where 4
housands OF dollars might be spent

Major met him at the station when he
arr1ved-the first time the Major had
ever come to meet his grandson. The
old gentleman sat in his closed car
riage (Which still needed paint) at the
entrance to the station, but he got out
and advanced to grasp Georges hand
TREMENDOUSLY, when the latter appeared,
Poor fellow !" he said, and patted him
repeatedly upon the shoulder. "Poor
fellow! Poor Georgie!''
George noticed that the Majors
tremulousness did not disappear, as
they drove up the street, and that he
seemed much feebler than during the
summer. Principally, however, George
was concerned with his own emotion.
or rather, with his lack of emotion .
and the anxious sympathy of his grand
father and his uncle made him feel
hypocritical. He was not grief-stricR-
en-; but he felt that he ought to be,
and. with a secret shame, concealed
his callousness beneath an affectation
of solemnity.
But when he was taken into the
room where lay what was left of Will
bur Minafer, George had no longer to
pretend; his grief was sufficient. It
needed only the sight of that forever
inert semblance of the quiet man who
had been always SO quiet part of his
sons life-so quiet part that George
had seldom been consciously aware
that his father was indeed part of
his life. AS the figure lay there, its
very quietness was what was most life
like; and suddenly it struck George
hard And in that unexpected, racking
grief of his son, Wilbur Minafer be-
came more wildly Georges father
than he had ever been in life.
When George left the room, his arm
was about his black-robed mother, his
