standing success viii be visited In
the morning and q picnic lunch and
speaking program will be held at

prominence. Mr.. Skuse states that,
according to the latest information
available, there are Is to 80 per

Umatilla Dam
Next Step in
River Project

The next step in the development
of the Columbia river project will
be the construction of the Umatilla
dam, II. G. West told members of
the chamber of commerce this noon.
Mr.. West has but recently returned
from a trip to Washington in the
interests of the Inland waterways
association. -
While in the capital he attended
hearings before the board of army
engineers and the report received
from that board was more favorable,
he reported than on any other por-
ton Of the project which has so
far been secured.
He said that the chief difficulty
facing further development of the
river was the influences attempting
to put the Bonneville and Coulee
power sails on the same footing as
those federal projects in less favor
ed sections. This, he said, is the big
problem facing the board Of en-
gineerS. 81.
The board has agreed, however
to survey Of the Homily rapids sit
uation with the view to starting the
Umailla dam. This work will be be-
gun under the direction Of Col
Robins as soon as the water has
reached its low stage this fall. The
money for the work Is now avail
able, he said.
The three major projects which
the association has worked for dur
ing the past three years have been
accomplished, Mr. West said. FRS,
was the deep locks at Bonneville
then the chanelization Of the rivel
both above and below the deep lock,
and now the slack water project
from The Dalles to Lewiston.

u usst. they will finish the s. planning
" a these birds by August rs.
y rnese birds are being sent to sup
Gwen other counties: Clark,
pr ~ .skamania, Cowlitz, Lewis
n n.sl mad Pacific. The rea-
we ~" for these birds being sent to
s sre southern counties is the 1act
. .,s the kennewick farm IS the
s s,ss Of any other in the state.
S Tnere are nine bird farms in the
,..,s two Of them being west OF the
o ssc,ntaius and the other seven be-
inc located on this side, because OF
ne climatic conditions being SO
-, more favorable here.
According to Harold Witham, SUI
-.-;rtendent of the local farm, the
birds have done exceptionally well
This year, being larger and better
.hon those raised last year. He
a .t that 729o of all eggs set were
Matched.
Mr witham also says that there
hos been many complaints from
formers claiming that the pheaants
from the farm were destroying their
vatermelons. He wishes to call the
attention Of these farmers by saying
that the birds that have been shot
have all been examined and over
aoqs Of them showed that the birds
had been feeding on asparagus, cut
and wire worms, grasshoppers and
other insects.
During the summer months the
pheasants feast entirely on insects.
He also gives the example Of the
watermelon patch adjoining the
eame farm. The birds from the
farm are continually flying over the
fence into this patch and the owner
has reported that none Of his wa
tesmelons have been touched by the
birds.

Questions About
City Irrigation
Are Answered

There still appears to be more OF
less uncertainty concerning the for
nation Of the local improvement
district. The following set Of ques-
lions and answers has been prepar-
ed for those who wish to know more
about the proposition. Solicitors
with the petitions state that nearly
everyone asks the same questions
and the following list win supply all
the answers:
1. What service win be perform.
ed - maintenance By this local i'm
pcovement district?
The city win endeavor to keep all
existing structures clean Of obstruc-
tons, repair all leaks and breaks
and give such further service as the
budget Of any given year win per-
NIT.
2. How much win Il cost?
This cannot be determined accu-
rately at the time the petitions are
circulated. Any expenditure must
be budgeted from estimates prepar-
ed and approved by the city council
in its regular manner Of approving
its budget for its usual duties. The
proposal under consideration con-
templates q maintenance budget on
~, as engineering data Is not and
cannot be available to cosider any
reconstruction during the year 1898.
Following the approval by the city
council, the directors Of the irriga-
ton district must approve before It
can become levy.
3. Can . property owner On one
pipe line be assessed for reconstsuc-
ton Of another line IN another part
Of the city?
No. Laws governing local I'm
provement districts do not permit
any such assessment. Only lands
directly benefited by the construc-
ton could be assessed for the cost
thereof.
4. What protection win tho pro-
perty owner have against being rs
sessed for new construction which
he and adjacent property owners
believe to be unwaxT1nted and nm
reasonably expensive?
All city council meetings are pub
lie meetings, and at the time bud
gets are being considered, objections
may be made thru the councilman
representing his district, or he may
appear in person before the entire
council.
s. How much new construction
will be necessary?
The prime object of this local i'm
provement district is to furnish
maintenance service that viii give
property owners use of their water
to the best advantage. The author
ity for any reconstruction must be
based on the inability Of existing
pipe line to give the service demand
ed by the property served thereby.
The information contained in the
above answers is based on the irri-
cation act to which reference is
made in the text Of the petition.
