Ides Now Is to Seek Souroe at Points

Plsaaant Tract and to
Limit Depth
Members of thn Mve Wires, lit
their weekly luncheon, held Tuesday
noon in urn commercial club rooma,
llHtrnnd to a report by Councilman
Tooite upon the walcr supply altua
tlou, and at the conclusion of the re
marks detenu Itied to lake a hand In
the niatter themselves. TIih siinciiil
water committee of the council of
which Mr. Tooxe Is chairman, wna
commended for Its action and Inter
est In the matter of seeking . new.
clear and adequate supply of water
lor the city, and Its work In connec
tion with tho teat well driven on the
l.add tract at Mt. I'leaaiint was en
dorsed. In talking of the work, Mr. Toozo
aald that the council had appropriated
In all $l,tiH5 for tho various phases of
the wntur Inquiry that has ld so far
to a thorough Investigation of the ter
ritory surrounding Oregon City, to
the aecurlng of a report upon the mat
ter by Hubert Uleck, of Portland, and
to tho drilling of a teat well at Mt.
I'lennant. In regnrd lo this well, Mr.
Tooxe aald that the bore had been
driven 315 feet without the anticipat
ed rvault, and that tha special wattr
committee had decided not to aeek a
aupply at any greater depth.
Mr. Tooze then told of the offer of
Mr. Scott, who baa done the drilling
at the Ladd tract, to drill other wells
elsewhere for one dollar a foot, the
city to pay for the coat of piping. This
la a considerable reductlou from the
price charged for the I -add work,
which waa $5 a foot for much of It,
and $2.60 per foot, with the city buy
ing the piping, for the balance. Mr.
Scott Is making this offer, Mr. Toore
aaid, because be was Interested In lo
cating a water supply, believing that
If one was (ound be would alao gt
the work of drilling the permanent
wella. The rate of a dollur a foot,
Mr. Tooxe aald, was hardly sufflclo.it
to cover actual coat of operation.
As It Is proposed to limit all furthor
test wells to a depth of 150 feet. It Is
believed that the cost can be easily
cared for. The Mve Wlrea, after
bearing the report from Mr. Tooze,
decided to circulate petitions calling
for offerlnga to be applied in ralalnx
a fund to carry on the search of pure
water. As each well will cost but
$:i00 to drill, and aa It Is not expect
ed that more than two will have to
be sunk before water is found, It is
believed that the funds will be readily
raiaed. In paying for the pipe the
city will be standing a good ahare ot
the expenae, aa piping coats 65 cents
a foot. The Live Wires will start
seeking funds for the work Wednes
day. WEB-EOOT S1AE i
HARD TO CONTROL
Justice of the Peaca Slevers Is of
the opinion that a web footed Suidae
Vulgaris csnnot be kept In confine
ment by chicken wire. He has tried
It. Thursday evening bis honor cap
tured one lo bis garden, shortly after
It had emerged from the Clackamas
rlvr. securely tethered It In his poul
try yard, and weut blissfully to bed,
expecting to get up in the morning
and feed the brute. When ha arose
there was a hole beneath the chicken
boose, and Indistinct tracks In the
general direction of the east, showed
where the web-footed Suidae Vulgaris
had gone.
The animal was one of two young
ones, and was but four months old.
They were purchased by a Mr. Tipton,
who lives acroaa the Clackamas rlvor
from Gladstone, and were brought
down from Eagle Creek, where they
were raiaed. Thursday night they
escaped from their pen on Mr. Tip
ton's place, and entering the river,
emerged on the northern shore half
a mile below. It was here that Jus
tice Slevers captured one, but the
other got away, and It Is supposed
that both animals are now making
tracks for their native haunt.
Having definitely Identified l the.
animal, Justice 81evers says that thoy
are not uncommon in Oregon, and
are more generaly known by the
name of "pig."

ers will soon be churned by one ot
the oldest stern-wheel steamers on

will be converted Into a towboat
Tbe vessel left the Sound on her
run down the coast Saturday, but will
only go as far aa Neah Bay on the
first stage of her run, and will wait
there until weather forecasters pledge
ber smooth sea for the trip to tbe
bar. Tbe State of Washington has
been reinforced for the trip, and her
side, braced and pannelled, but at
that it is not the intention of her
owners to take any chance, with her.
The craft Is of wood, and haa two
decks, which later will be cut down
to but one. The vessel waa original
ly built for tbe run between Seattle
and Belllngham, but with the advent
of more powerful and speedier craft
waa relegated to the Hooda Canal
route. She made the trip from Se
attle to Hoodsport in a day, returning
the next During rough weather the
old boat "used to make heavy work of
her voyage, and it is said by those
have traveled upon her that she was
so limber she bent with the waves.
