IWhile Ihe locals were thus disposing of the North Powder outfit, the Cove team, which has had the best of the games nil season and which whs con sidered right along as practically sure of the pennant, was cinching things up right by defeating linker by a score of six to nothing.

PIPE LINE IS TOO SMALL Citizens Kail to Join City Officials On Inspection trip Pipe Line Will He . Lowered at Pierce Hill and Intnko Extended Kive Hundred Kect Up Beaver Creek. The city officials, returning last night from their trip of inspection to the intake on Heaver Creek, expressed themselves as being of tho opinion that they are going to bo able to give La Grande a satisfactory supply . of water for this summer, at least, by making a couplo of changes in the system roc- ommended by Louis C. Kelscy, tho special engineer who was retained by t the city some time ago for tho pur pose of making a close examination of tho whole water system. The party going to the intnko was composed of Dr. II. S. llrowntnn, president of tho board of city commissioners; Commis sioners McKennon and Grundy, City Munngor John Collier, City Wutor Su perintendent C. J. Black, Mr. Kelscy, Paul V. Bouvard, of tho Jewel Kilter Company, Engineer Harcr, of tho O.- W. It. & N., and J. A. Mutott, of Per ry, who was closely connected with the locul water offico for many years. Citizens and business men of tho town, though much concerned over the water situation, did not show up. to mako the trip. At the in lake on Beaver Creek the party found that there is an ample supply of as good mountain water ns there cun ho found. anywhere. There ' is much mora water than can bo car ried down by tho p'po line to the city. Engineer Kelscy was convinced that with a couplo of alterations in the sys tem the city would bo able to secure enough water to supply the needs for this summer, at least. Thu pipe lino is not" largo enough to enrry the amount of water necessary for u city the aizo of La Grande, ho says, but their plans will do until u permanent remedy for the shortage is provided. Mr. Kclscy's plan is to extend the in take about five hundicd feet farther up Beaver Creek and to lower tho level of tho pipe lino at tho Pierre hill, about three miles from the city. This, ho believes, will increaso the capacity of the pipe lino very mater ially. Tho city will also install n water meter at tho city reservoir, in order to ascertain whether or not the pipe lino is delivering all the water entering at the intake and 1 tho pips lino ia carrying Its full capacity.- (Continued on Page II.) 10 CELEBRATE L.
