OREGON CITY. OREGON
THE WATER SITUATION.
An Unbiased Statement of the Mat
ter as it Slunds Today.
The council committee on pure
water appointed some months ago are
putting forth presistcnt effort to ob
tain a source of pure water supply for
this city at the earliest possible date.
There are three lines along which
work has been carried cn. (1) Alter
many meetings with tho representa
tive and attorney for tho backers of
the Lee franchise, the main provis
ions have been decided on and the fran
chise practically completed. (2) The
committee has been in conference with
the Portland Commission, who de
clared a few days ago tha: nothing
could be promised in regard to Bull
Run water before the measuring of
capacity of mains should be complet
ed. But the commission in charge of
this department under the new city
government promised this should be
done within ten days when a definite
answer would bo given whether Ore
gon City could obtain water from this
source and under what terms. (3) A
third is in wells in or very near vicin
ity. The story of the effort to obtain
water on the Ladd tract ut Mt. Pleas
ant and tho failure there has been oft
repeated. The next effort was boring
two wells on tho Englebricht tract
just outside the city limits. The first
was driven to a debth of about GO
feet when water was found in large
quantities clear and cold. The amount
was estimated at approximately GOO
gallons a minute. Without "liners" it
produced approximately 200 gallons
a minute,
Tho committee believing it would
be more satisfactory to the public de
cided to go deeper and the work was
continued to a depth of 148 feet, hav
ing passed through clay loam, sand
loam, fine sand and then a stratum of
water bearing gravel at ppproximato
ly the 60 foot depth, then the bulo
clay, reddish shale and genuine red
shale. The general history of these
latter formations in this order is, in
the Willamette Valley no more water;
so it was decided to give up this well,
and ,return to the water bearing
stratum and pump and test for purity
and quantity. On pulling the pipe on
the return however, an accident hap
pened which made it less expensive
to drive a new well clore beside the
former than to proceed with this one.
Mr. Scott, the contractor, then drove
this last well to a depth of over 50
feet and the water was tested and
found free from colon bacilli, or dis
ease germs, palatable, of great quan
tity and of a temperature of only 52
degrees.
Other tents aro now under way
and results from time to time be giv
en as they are received from the state
department of health and from other
eminent bacterologists end chemists.
It has not been and ib not now the
purpose of the committee to try to
insist upon any one of these sources
being substituted for tho present or
for any other source of supply. It
has beeen and is now the determine
tion of the committtee to, if possible,
obtain all helpful information to be
had on these sources and to determine
the absolute purity and sufficient
quantity of water and then to furnish
this information and ask that the cit
izens be permitted to vote and thus
say what theey want.
Unfortunately there has developed
from the first, opposition to the ef
forts of the committee and this op
position has taken on the aspect of
personal abuse and misrepresentation,
Two of the councilmen, for reasons
best known to themselves, even at
tempted to hold up an ordinance ap
propriating $350 for this work, after
they had stayed away from the
specially appointed meeting for this
purpose, when this ordinance passed
its first reading unanimously, five
members being present and voting.
In spite of their personal attacks upon
the committee and other members df
the council, who favored the present
investigation, $350 was voted with
only the two negatives, to pay for this
effort save from suffering and loss of
human life.
However it appears the committee
are not discouraged in the effort put
forth and are going right on with the
investigation and leave the results
with the people as a whole to decide
in time to meet the dangerous con
ditions of the fall seaason.

WASHINGTON.
It Is a mugie name, that of the na
tion' founder, who Is becoming, in
turn, the father of the republican era
In other hinds
It Is befitting that this spotless name
Hhould grace the capital city of the
greatest of republics, for it Is a con
tinual suKKestlon of the character that
republic should take.
It Is said by competent authorities
that when present plans have been
parried out Washington will be the
most beautiful city In the world.
Even now it is beautiful, a city of
parks and broad streets, of pleasant
homes and public buildings worthy of e
great nation.
The phoenix may have risen from its
asties, but Washington literally arose
from u swamp.
Vet Its growth in a century., to an
ideu! capital is no more of a miracle
than that of the nation about it, which
has sprung ui) in the name time from
So. hi- "''ji c i nil Washington foiitli
ern .-ti . Iiii! tins Is a misnomer.' It 1s
bnili suiiih.-ni Mini northern, with siiine
of llif licsi feature of each section.
One In appreciate Washington must
ride uiuiiiuI it and look down on il
from the heights along the Tenall.v
towu road. He must behold It from
many angles, both from near and far.
must approach It from the river ami
see it from the Virginia hills. It is
well worth study even in Its present
uncompleted state. What, then, will
it be when the plans of its builders
have been translated into parks and
malls, memorials,' statues and classic
buildings?
The parking is being continued along
the bunks of the Potomac. There the
Lincoln memorial will stnnd. The
capitol will be, in part, surrounded by
parks, one extending to tho new L'nlon
station and postolilce and another down
past the iu.Ticiiitnr.il i.nii.ii... - "
Washington monument.
In vision one can see the heights
about the city crowned with beautiful
homes. Already these are beginning
to appear.
As the republic advances in wealth,
culture and art It is not difficult to iin.
aglne Washington becoming a second
Athens or Koine, a center of poetry
and learning, an intellectual as well as
a political and social capital.
An American can take a greater
pride in his country after looking upon
her capital city.

Oregon will be set in motion all
over the world as a result of a visit
to the state by Ralph R. Earle, repre
senting Pathe's weekly, a motion pic
ture record of events which is seen
each week in picture houses through
out the United States and European
countries by more than 20,000,000
people.
It was with the cooperation of Louis
W. Hill, chairman of the board of
directors of the Great Northern rail
way and William Hanley, of Burns,
Oregon, that the motion picture man
was enabled to secure some very re
markable views of Central Oregon
agricultural and industrial scenes.
Making the trip into Bend over the
Oregon Trunk railroad, the Hill line
that has opened up the great Central
Oregon country, the motion picture
man was taken to Burns, in Harney
county, by automobile a distance of
150 miles. For a week the Pathe re
presentative toured Harney county
covering more than 1,000 miles by au
tomobile to secure films that will
show to the world the openings for
homeseekers on the free government
lands of Oregon.
While a visitor on the Double O
ranch, owned by Hanley, more than
2,000 head of cattle were rounded up
for the pictures. Motion picture pano
ramas will show the extent of the
great valleys of Central Oregon and
the Blitzen canal, just completed by
Hanley through the Blitzen valley.
This big irrigation ditch, formed by
the waters of the Blitzen river, drains
more than 100,000 acres of land and
is forty miles long. The pictures
will show the hog and sheep indus
try, homeseekers coming into the
country, the sage brush land before
and after the arrival of the home
seeker and generally give a truthful
picture of the opportunities andpos-'
sibilities of Central Oregon.
Louis W. Hill is one of the fore
most of Northwest developers and 'be
lieves in the motion picture to give
wide-spread publicity to what Oregon
has to offer to newcomers.
The Pathe people have also secured
a reel showing the scenery of the Des
chutes canyon where the Hill lines
expended an enormous sum of money
to build the Oregon Trunk railroad
into the Central part of the state. The
pictures secured by the Pathe people
are the first of the kind ever taken in
Oregon and will be shown in the lead
ing motion picture theaters all over
the world.
