The general impression Is that the stand ing army is sufficient to cope with the matter In hand. A Now that it Is a fact after so many obstacles were overcome, we can hard ly believe that we are the possessors of one of the finest water systems in the Northwest Portland' with her famous Bull Run and Seattle with her Cedar river supply cannot boast of any purer water than La Grande fror.'. her Beaver Creek. FAST TRAIN IN 1ASHUP TWENTIETH CENTURY LLMITI'D HITS BOSTON CHICAGO THAI WATER RATES. The city council is considering the writer of readjustment of wa.. rates. Tie water committee held an Infor mal session a few days agj looking ocr the rates of other cities Hn-1 one- aue1 all are of the opinion that our present rates are too high, based up-' on gravity system, which we now possess. This city is rapidly becom ing metered, which experience has proven to be the ouly Just way where by the consumer pays exactly for the service obtained. One member of the committee stated that he believed that the basic rate to those using meter would be reduced materially and that the rate for Irrigation would be more than cut in the middle. The present rate of 25 cents per thousand gallons of water for Irrisatlon purposes have been outrageous for years even under a pumping system. It Is probable that the new rate will be around the 10 cents per thousand gallons. This will permit of many beautiful yards that do not now exist This will mean the extension of the water system. People will want water, will want to beautify their homes when they can afford to do so. A few more years like the past two and we will be warranted in saying that the climatic conditions in Oregon are changing. Think of the snow last week falling to a depth of 16 inches In Salem, 9 inches In Portland, 10 In Tacoma, 12 at Corvallis, 8 In Eugene and about 4 in the Grande Ronde val ley. Lant year, if you remember, nbout the same proportions were reported. If you hove not partaken of the Christmas spirit just visit some of Tarlous Htoies lu the city and it will certHlnly awaken the latent spark. The assortment to be found on every hand would le a credit to a city of many tluua our population. : ' A number of our j oung men would be glad to enlist.
