PROBLEM IN DRAINAGE rond of Standing "Water on East Side a Menace. Provision that Is being made to take, care of tin- water from Hawthorne springs by emptying It through a two foe t sewer pipe into the Sunnyslde sewer on East Alder street may pre vent the water further accumulating in the slough, but it will not carry off the lake that "has accumulated since the fill was completed on Grand ave nue up to and beyond Belmont street Hawthorne springs discharge about 1.000,000 gallons of water per day, and since the wooden culvert under the Grand-avenue ' embankment became clogged and would not carry oft the water a lake has been created. It may be kept down to the level of the Alder street sewer branch, but. the xvater will stand 14 feet deep or more before It will pass into the Sunnyslde sewer. The presence of this large body of water In Central East Portland is cause for alarm, as It is not an easj- matter to get rid of it, unless it be drained off through the Grand-avenue embank ment by means of solid castlron pipe that cannot be crushed by the weight of the dirt It Is the opinion of Dr. S. E. Joseph! that if this lake should be allowed to remain as at present it would become a breeding place for mosquitoes, and that it should be covered with oil at once to prevent this. It is the Impres sion that none of 'the provisions pro posed so far will meet the situation and take care of the water. The branch sewer at .East Alder street will only stop the further accumulation of the water, but will not reduce the present volume. Neither would a pipe placed at East Washington street, unless it tappei the bottom of the slough. However. It Ik expected that out of the present difficulty some plans will be evolved that will take care of the water from Hawthorne springs at some point above Belmont street and also ,get rid of the lake that has accumu lated above the Grand-avenue embank ment, Work Is going Rhead on the Grand avenue fill, although the. embankment settles some constantly. The lower portion spreads out, but the middle of the embankment seems to have reached a foundation. The Oak-street sewer, which passes through the embank ment, Is being protected by Inclosing it with a crib of timbers. DEPARTMENT STORE BLAZE Kcnnard & Adams' Stock Damaged by Smoke and "Water. " What would have been a disastrous lire but for the prompt arrival of the firemen, broke out in the department store of Kcnnard & Adams, at Wil liams avenue and Russell streets, shortly after S o'clock last night. Tho origin of tne fire Is not positively known, but is supposed to have been caused by a gas Jet which had been left burning. The blaze started In the rear of the store where the offices were located and quickly burned through the floor to the second story. The damage, except from smoke and water.- was confined to the one corner of the building. T. L. Adams, one of the owners, said that the damage would amount to several thou sand dollars, hut his estimate Is thought by the firemen to be exces sive, who say the actual damage will not amount to more than $500. The loss to the firm Is fully covered by insur ance. The alarm was turned in by one of the employes, -who was near the store wnen the flames were discovered. Ap paratus from the West Side responded to the alarm. Air. Adams complimented Chief Campbell and his men for their quickness In getting the fire under con trol.

Judge Lowell has the proper age. the dignity and the magnetic qualities that count for so much In men filling high office, he is regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in the state, and he Is clean. Republicans, regardless of faction, who want the best man will sup port 'Judge Lowell in this fight. I want to take the liberty In this connection to call the attention of Oregon's voters to the following Indorsements of prominent Portland men who will support Judge Lowell. What Judge Lowell's friends say: I am in favor of the nomination of Judge Lowell for United States Senator. Considering h?s qualifications, his age. and experience, I deem him the man that can best represent Oregon and do moat for the state. H. H. NORTHUP. As among the candidates for United States Senator It is my belief that the in terests of the State of Oregon would be best served by the election of Judge Lowell. F. E. BEACH. The Republican party is confronted with the necessity of presenting to the people a candidate for United States Sen ator who will best subserve our interests. 1 think Judge Stephen A. Lowell fur nishes the qualifications for the service of our political and commercial interests and to serve as a political factor locally and nationally. FRANK MOTTER. No one hao been presented for consider ation at the primaries as candidate for United States Senator who is calculated to Inspire more confidence as to a proper conception of the scope of the duties of this high office or belief In his absolute fitness for their distinguished perform ance than Stephen A. Iwell. I warmly Indorse his candidacy and hone he will be elected. CHARLES F. BEEBE. From what I know of the .candidates for United States Senator from Oregon, Judge Lowell Impresses me as the best. CHARLES COOPET. I shall support Judge Lowell -because I know him to -be a man of ability and sin cerity, who will represent impartially all the interests of this state. T. J. GEISLER. The character, learning, experience, ability and age of Judge Lowell pre eminently fit him for the position of United States Senator from Oregon. R. L. SABIN. I have known Judge Lowell Intimately ever since he first came to the State of Oregon. He is a clean, capable man and would serve the people with credit if elected United States Senator. J. B. EDDY. The Republicans of Oregon at the pri mary election should select the best can didate for United States Senator. Judge Stephen A. Lowell seems to me to be a man of Ideals, ability and Integrity and the Republicans of Oregon will have, rea son to be proud of their United States Senator If they elect Mr. Lowell. R. R. DUN I WAT. Considering together his character, abil ity and energy, and the long sen-Ice lie might be able to render. Judge Lowell seems to me pre-eminently entitled to be the choice of the people. A. L. VEAZIB. There has always been a warm spot In my heart for Stephen A. Lowell. I admire his ability and his personality: I believe if he should be nominated and elected he would carry such qualifica tions Into the United States Senate as would reflect credit on this state. J. W. BAILEY. Judge Ixiwell is an able lawyer, a schol arly gentleman, a good talker, a high minded citizen. He Is warm-blooded, af fable, sincere and genuine. He Is a thoughtful student of public affairs. In every way qualified to serve his country as United Stat.es Senator. I hope he will be elected. WALLACE M 'CAM ANT.
