PARTNERSHIP Then Kiillh he unto his disciples. The har

! ;, 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

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.
