Baker Powder Plant Damaged
Baker, Ore., July 31 (Special)
The Fremont power plant of the
Eastern Oregon Light and Power
Company at Oliver Lake was dam
aged by fire late Saturday afternoon,
but the extent of the loss could not
be estimated last evening. The iroof
of the building was completely des
troyed. The debris fell into the ma
chinery, the pit is partir.lly filled with
water, so the damage will probably
mount high, although completely
Ed Sutter Injured
Ed iSutter was badly injured and
nnnvnvlv asuarpf death last Friday
afternoon at the Ed Miller ranch when
a hay derrick fell on him. Mr. Sutter
was stacking and when the first fork
full of hay tipped the derrick -which
was not securely fastened down and it
fell on Mr. Sutter who did not see it.
He was severly injured about the
back and his ankle hurt. Parties who
witnessed the accident say that he is
lucky to be alive. He was rushed to
town and medical attention given him.
His injuries will not prove serious
but will confine him to his room for
some time. Union Scout.

the city reseivoir falls below five feet.
It is necessary to keep the water in
the city reservoir up to this height,
said Mr. L. M. Hoyt, city water super
intendent yesterday. The water con
sumption at present is very heavy.
Persons whoso water bills ordinarily
Tun aoout $1 or $z per month are
contracting bills that will amount to
$5 or $(! a month, irrigating their
gardens. So far as is possible, said
Mr. Hoyt, the water is pumped from
the pond inti which a flume dis
charges which takes the water from
the river above the slaughter house.
Some water is, however at times
pumped from below the slaughter
house. It is also stated by Mr. Hoyt
that analysis was made of this water
some time ao and it was found to be
pure. The water is pumped from the
side of the river opposite the slaugh
ter house, and it is said thnt the cur
rent would not permit the slaughter
house to affect the water. As long as
river water is being pumped at all it
would seem to tho Observer to be
prudent to !xil the drinking water.
You won't have to worry then about
it.
