The committee, appointed by the council to investigate this water supply, reported to the council that about 18C0.000 gallons wing every twenty-four hours. This amount of water, at the very dryest season or the year is about eighteen times as much as the city used at any time last year according to statement made by the water superintendent. The government will set aside, as a permanent res erve for the use of the city, the water-sheds of this creek, when proper application has been made by the city council. The cost of conducting the water to La Grande will be small sum com pared with results attained by securing a gravity system to say nothing of the quantity and purity of the water. Beaver creek water will taste good in La Orande. and no pumping station will be needed to bring it here. bucesstul hunters are nereov notineu that, The Observer office positively refuses to accept more than one-quarter of venison at a time. The deaths of ten linemen in a few weeks, each of which occured in the dis charge of duty, was too much for Port land. The dangerous wires are to be put underground at a cost of $500,000. Harrington, a small Washington town has opened a reading room for harvest hands. Each evening, after only an eight hours day's work and with time heavy on their hands, these brainy sons of toil devour Dante and Marie Correll. The special train bringing Vice-Tresi-dent Fairbanks tnd party to the National Irragation congress, at Boise is scheduled to arrive in the :apital city of Idaho on the morning of September 8rd. A public reception will be held that evening to the distinguishsd guest of the congress. Russia is having about all the grades of political reformers known. It hat had the anarchist, the socialists', the socialist democrats, and it has come to the educational democrats. The people should find one there some helpto them. VALUABLE LAND A Wenatche orchardist coldy refused an offer of $1800 an acre for his 10 acre orchard this week. And in no respect was the land or the trees superior to lots of orchards in the Grande gonde Valley that can be bought for one-third the price. The highest price ever paid for local orchard was $700 an acre, but the time is soon coming when $1000 an acre will not be unusal. RUSSIA'S SHAME The Chicago banker, Stensland, who absconds, with two millions of his confiding depositor' money, is reported to have taken a double-sized trunk with him. Naturalls he had to have some place to store away the loot. The Gans-Nelson priie fight to occur on Labor Day at Goldsfield Nevada, for purse of $40,000 will bring together thousands of sporting men from all over the United States. If Gsns. who is a negro, is whipped there will be crepe on all the Pullmans next month. It is reported from Ohio that tne two cent railroad fare has not hurt the rail r:ads, after all. It has injured their chief competitors, the electric lines, which cover that State, and has nearly doubled the volume of business for the steam roads.- Ex. Because she remarked that a detach ment of the Czar's troops looked, "as gay as if they had taken Port Arthur!" a young Russian girl was promptly seized and publicly whipped.
