Ala 400 PARTNERSHIP Then Kiillh he unto his disciples. The har vest truly Ik plenteous, but the l:ibniiicr are few; Pray yn therefore the Lord iir Hie harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew :37, .IS. ! ;, Various comiiHiniUes in Oregon litis been sliffering- froiv j n shortage of municipal water supply this year. Lawns have i suffered, street washing lias been curtailed, fire hazards have i been increased. Not so in The Dalles or La Grande. Botr communities have deep wells to supplement the gravity supply and there is an abundance to take care of the heavj demands of summer months. Other communities in the state- have difficulty reconciling themselves to a well supply when mountain streams are so numerous and so traditionallj inexpensive. La Grande proved that such was mil the case To get the same amount of water from the mountains that wo now have through two wells would have cust this citj five or six times as much. Deep wells can solve the probleir of many Oregon cities with a great saving in money. HIGHWAY SPEED Yesterday at the Rotary Club meeting Slate Traffic Office) Lansing told something of the workings of the traffic divi sion and incidentally remarked that there were more acci dents on one straight stretch of six or seven miles in I'liiur ! county than on all the rest of the state highway mileage in the county. Jle lelera, no doubt,' to the rmrt -liptuwn La Grande and Not Lake, a stretch that breaks into the iiowk al too frequently with accident reports. , Mr. Lansing did not give his private opinion of the reason; for this condition but he indicated that certain conclusion! might well be drawn from it. No said that the total of al: accidents on Oregon highways was decreasing in spite of the increase in number of cars and that the number of fatal ities on the highways was also decreasing. This in the face of straighter, smoother roads each year and the road from La Grande east is very straight and very smooth. The natural conclusion anyone would draw from the record of accidents on the Not Lake road is that a straight, inviting stretch tempts drivers to an unsafe speed. After traveling over mountain highways it is possible that tourists and nativi drivers alike use the first available tangent for "makine time" and run into difficulties. There is also the fact that Joose gravel is found along the edge of this road for some distance; and there are deep ditches at the side to create a mental hazard for some drivers. Ordinarily we are not inclined to think that speed, and sliced alone, is responsible for a majority of highway clashes. Fast drivei-s get into trouble frequently but there is often a degree of carelessness to share the blame. "Dumb-beU' driving would be blamed by most people for most accidents Passing other cars without proper caution. Turn inn off and onto the highway without signals or without stopping. Any driver could name a dozen habits of careless drivers lhat increase the highway hazaid. In several states the setting of a definite limit on .-peed has been abandoned entirely. In Michigan. Iowa. California etc., you can drive as fast as you like just so joti are careful and do not jeopardize the lives and property of other citizens. You are likely to be attested for recklessness or caiele.-siiess when going thirty miles an hour as well as when guing sixty. Putting the responsibility directly up to each driver in this way is looked upon as the I test solution for .-peed. Maybe we would be belter off in Oregon with a law of this ,.ni... n-i i. . i , . , . . ' muun-. i mum. wno uiiiiK tiiev can exceed the piesetit Swi limit with sateiy do it anyhow.

Wallowa national forest and what iisiiing was like before this duui was constructed, and what fishing is like now as compared to 15 years ago, knows that this dam is costing the sportsmen tenH of thousands of ilo liars yearly because of the lack of natural reproduction of the fish, fur us stated, no fish coming up from the Grande Hondo river and on up the Wallowa river and from the Wallowa river on up tin big Mi nam river can get above this Useless dam. We al) know what damage the dam In the Grande Hondo river at Perry mused, yet It is only a drop as compared to the damage being done in the Miriam river and the many small creeks feeding into it, for the Minam district and river is actually the best natural fishing grounds in the world is just given u chance. We all know that when n dam is built in a river that fish can not get past It. that after fish try this annually for eight to 12 years they will simply quit trying, and the re-1 suits uro that lishing naturally gets worse each year from lack oi spawning grounds. If the fish ' were allowed to go up stream as far as they wish and spawn in their j natural way that they will multi ply plenty fast enough to care for the replacement of all fish caught by anglers. The. dam is well built, and will require at least Ifto lbs. of dyna mite to destroy it, but It should he destroyed and promptly regard- j less of the amount of work and ex- ' pense. H. W. SMITH.
