Sweet
British View of
York City.
New
Philip Cililm, Enjrlhsh wnr corrcs
pomknt, considered Ilia itUiy in New
York a Rroiit adventure, lie enjoyed
the novelty of it to the full, and he
had opportunities to see ninny sides of
the life of the city at close range
from tho inside as well as the sur
face. .His comment, in the current
llnrpera, is 0 little startling to Umbo
dwellers in the provinces who like to
think of Now York as a wild and
wicked city.
''I found 'gay life' in New York im
mensely and Bohorly respecUilile. Ono
could take one's maiden aunt into tho
heart of it and not get hot hy her
blushes' he Bays.
"Afternoon dancing at Delinonu'o'B
reed not form the theme of any moral
ist In search of vice in high places. It
1r not only respectable; it is domestic.
Snvonnroln himself would not have de
nounced such Innocent amusement.
. "Human nnluro is the same In New
York as in other cities of tho world,
l'ussion, wenkness, folly, are not elim
inated from tho relations between
American men and women. Hut to
C find vice and decadence In American
):t Bociely, ono has to go In search of it
and I did not go. I found Now York
T. society tolerant in its views, frank in
its expression of opinion, fond of
laughter and wonderfully sincere.
. Wealth does not fipoil its fresh nnd
t henlthy outlook on life, nnd its people
nro idealists at heart, with a revcr
i ence for the old-fash'oncd virtues nnd
j On admiration for those who 'made
' " flood' in whatever job to which they
j u put their hands.
Ilown town, ho found, nfter his first
bewilderment nt the pandemonium, and
nt the huge hives of offices, that
; "these people were human nil through,
, not nt all dchumaniieil, nftor nil, be
. , cause they lived maybe on tho thirty
first Btory of a New York skyscraper.
! "., 1 dare any also that their work is not
"" o strenuous as It looks from the out
side, and Hint they earn more dollars
a week thnn business men and women
Z of their own class in England, so that
j they have more margin for the plens
Z ures of life, for the purchnse of a 'cute
littlejint," even for a play by Macter

To Smoothe the Horrors o'
' War.
'Tho true horror of the famine in
Syria," nays n mnn ri-turm'.I after nix
yearn of rnKef work, ''has hecn tho
mural breakdown. The hurror of hav
ing thousand of noKU'etnl children
growing up without homes or educa
tion, tho victims of a demoralized
environment, in awful to contemplate.
In the small nnn of Syria for which J
compiled Htalistit's, there nro .'III) vil-
lntfcs, with 4'M'A orphans and flfJSX
hildren with only one parent."
A (f'up of Americans in charge of
local relief under the Red Cross and
the Nenr East committee have worked
out a plan for rescuing theso children.
It is not n matter of (retting them food
ulone, although that is the f'rst Rreat,
need. They must also he trained nnd
educated, prepared tn assume the re
Bponsihilitioit which will ho theirs in
a few years. They nre tho nucleus of
tho new nation Browing up through
the ruins of the old. They will bo the
farmers, mechanics, nrt:sans, laborers,
teachers, etc., of the future.
In order to do this tremendous work
of training, n city of orphans is being
founded. The committee plans to bring j
these children together in several big,
groups to facilitate instruct 'on. They
will be divided Into small families,
housed in good buildings erected for;
the purpose. As far as poKnible they
will be trained as Syrians. The Amer
ican influence is to be used only to
develop efficiency nnd high ideals, not
to breed dissati.sfoetion with their own;
country or lack of true patriotism, !
Dedicated to the huilding up wid re
newal of courage, health, self-respect.
and ability for self-government, the
city of orphans has before it a future
of hope and opportunity.

Trees are coining- to be great trav

in new lands, or they travel froai ono
..community to another within the same
country.
Trees from (he United States have
been sent to the regions In France and
lldgiutn left almost tieelen by the
wr. Canada has sent trees abroad
to honor her soldier dead. This coun-
Try has been asked to send trees to
"China to renew her ruined forests. j
From nil these foreign lnnds trees
come back to thai country. For Amrr-
- ienn botanical gardens thcrg are rare 1
"species native to remote parts of the

The street forces were employed in
the usual routine work and flushing
mains in different parts of the city,
tho water being used for sprinkling
macadam ami other streets. Th1
water men were employed in repairs,
leaning sewers, leak ia main on
South Second street and putting in
tap on M avenue. The water superin
tendent made a trip to Heaver creek
intake and assisted in raising dam at
that place. The water now stands at
H inches above the intake pipe. Read
ings were also taken of the streams
flowing into the lake nnd of llcuvev
creek below the intake dam. These
showed flow into the lake for '.M hours,
:ifi:t,71 1 gallons; flow below the intake
dam, l,r,:,l),i:'2 gallons per 1M hour?,
or sufficient to fill another 12 or 1-1
inch pipe.
As there appears to be considntble
misunderstanding regarding the water
situation 1 think it well to explain at
this time just what has and is beine;
dune regarding the matter. For the
past several yeurs the Reaver creel:
line has failed to furnish sufficient
water at certain seasons of the year to
supply the city's requirements. A
such t mes it has been customary to
pump the additional supply required
from the (Irnnde Ronde riwr. This
has always been unsatisfactory, for
lions I reHnmen led in my report of
January ft, this year, that a c -mplote
survey of the situ:U i,n he had by an
"xpv-rt engineer. After cuTe.'pond
ence ith a number of en-ieers ud,
others, Mr. Kelsey was r-mploycd a
the best man available. The cunhvet
called for a compile vurvey nnd stud;'
of conditions durinij the year, final re
port to be made on or before" January
,mV.i20. About the middle of January
of this ytar, when it became apparent
the 'Heaver 'creek supply would soon
be exhausted, the Tabner Lumber com
pany couid not supply the amount of
water required without over-taxing
thc:r plant an effort was made to de
vise a plan by which nn additional
pump rould be installed with those or
the mill company to im reasc the
pumping facilities. This was found
impracticable and the water getting
very low in the river it was found
necessary to cut down the consumption
in some way. The railroad compnny
was appealed to, and while they were
willing to co-operate to whatever ex
tent 'their equipment would permit
they stated that they could not supply
all their requirements. Considering
nil the circumstances it was decided
the only relief for the present wm to
reduce the consumption as much a 1
possible without crippling our indus
tries and with as Ijttle damage as pos
sible. It was, therefore, ordered that
sprinkling and irrigating be done only.
every fourth day and, afterwards, ev
ery second day. This was hard on
the lawns and gardens, of course, and
much to be regretted, but, as state I.
seemed unavoidable under the clrcum-t
stances.- The recent rain raised t'e ,
water in the river slightly and it is 1
hoped that we will have more wate
soon. A recent analysis ot the water i
in the mains by the state board of j
health shows same practically free1
from bacteria and entirely sare for do-'
mcstic use. . i
Regarding the supply for the futurCj
the engineer is studying the situa
tion, having gone over the ground sev-;
oral times both during high and low'
water, und promises on his next visit
to give a def.nite opinion on what can
he done. Among the projects that
have been suggested and are being
considered are, going up the (Jrande
Ronde river to a point lower down on
Reaver creek than tho present intake,,
going to Grande Ronde lake, Anthony j
lakes, Catherine creek, the Minam, I
and wolla.' For the present, .the intake!
dam has been raised and another dam'
may be put in Reaver creek at a point ;
higher up. Respectfully submitted, '
