The Jast uegfc has fallen short of the amount we had it down for in our
Big Money Raising Sale, we suppose on account of the very heavy rains.
Howeucr, this money must come, no matter how great the loss to us, and
to make sure that it is raised at the appointed time each week must show
up its pro rata. In order that this week shall show up its amount and
bring up last week's shortage also we make many EXTRA slashes in price

that of the P. E. L. & P. Co, which
hates to give up its strangle hold in
Oregon City. Bat enough of this. Pure
and unadulterated water for Oregon
City and its vicinity is of more im
portance than personul matters.
During he seasons just passed, when
the Oregon City Courier was "ham
mering" away to get pure water, the
Enterprise contended that the Willam
ete river juice was the stuff that
could not be improved upon or words
to this effect. The Portland Railway
Light & Power Co. never offered any
assistance. But us soon as Glacka-
WOODPILE. The water that comes
from the SOUTHERN FORK. It
don't says the "South" fork. Why
not? Because the southern fork is
not the south fork proper. There are
first the east fork of the south fork,
the middle fork of the south fork, and
the "southern" fork of the south
fork, and what does this latter amount
to 7 . tdM3
Then again it says: "...above the
second fall of the stream, the commit
tee proposes to place the intake for
the system."
Now the facts are that the flow of
the water above the falls does not
amount to more than two second feet
or 900 gallons per minute, equivalent
to 1,382,400 gallon per 24 hours dur
ing the dry fall months. Would this
supply Oregon City now. . Will it 20
years hence?
One quarter of a mile above the
mouth of the South Fork proper are
the lower falls 40 feet high. Here all
the waters of the South Fork basin
combine and here is the proper place
mas River water was mentioned, the
whole crowd got busy and at once was where the intake ought to be if the
willing to help the city all it could. I people are willing to be satisfied with
per mile. A 20-inch main would sup
ply Oregon City for the next 25 years.
It is evidently the purpose of the
P. R. L. & P. Co. to give as little wa
ter as possible. Then the amount a
20-inch pipe will take out of the upper
Clackamas means a great deal to them
during the low stage of the river. But
what of it? Let them complete some
of their projects, so as to make up
for the loss sustained above, and let
Oregon City for once be independent,
take the water out of the Clackamas
river direct and be prepared for all
future times.
With the permission of our Honor
able Senator Harry Lane, I herewith
submit to the public the senator's
answer to my request for information
and data concerning the South Fork
water shed, and the people of Oregon
City and the whole state may rest as
sured that they have at last one man
in Congress, who is with the people at
all times.

Mr. H. W. Hagcmann,
R.2, Oregon City, Ore.
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
letter of recent date making inquiry
concerning matters relating to the
Clackamas river water shed and the
conditions of the flow in that river in
view of its being used as a source of
water supply for Oregon City. In re
ply I will say that I am in sympathy
with you in your desire to secure pure
water for Oregon City and will do all
I can to aid you at any time.
I found on a personal interview with
the secretary of the interior that the
Interior department has no authority
over the water in streams such as the
Clackamas, except where they are in
volvcd in reclamation schemes which
are being carried on throughout the
country, so I am unable to get any
assistance for your from that depart
ment of the government. The only
authority which has anything to say
about the water supply of such riv
ers as the Clackamas is the state of
Oregon, and any efforts to secure wa
ter for Oregon City from that source
would be through the governor, the
state engineer and the legislature.
A close investigation at the office
of the geological survey developed the
fact that we can obtain no data or
maps from them of the lands you
describe. The only station-from which
they have mado any measurements
of the flow of the water is located at
or near the Portland Railway Light &
fower ompany's plant at or near Caz-
adero. It seems to me if the people
of Oregon City and Clackamas county
would make an effort to obtain enough
water of the Clackamas river, (a eood
ways up in the mountains where it is
pure), that they would have the back
ing of all right-minded citizens of the
state. There is absolute necessity for
Oregon City to secure a good sunplv
of pure water and no one should be al
jowed to interfere with her in obtain
ing possession of an abundant supply.
I have also inquired at the Forest
service and have had no more satis
faction there in obtaining data or
maps for the lands you describe.
They have no records which I could
obtain which would be of use to you.
If it is necessary I will be willing
to introduce a bill in congress for
your relief, by securing title to the
land upon which to locate the plant.
Assuring you of my desire to as
sist you as far as it lies in my power
