WANT MUNICIPAL WATER
Citizens of Vancouver Start Agita
tion for Improved Service.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) Vancouver is seriously considering
the proposition of establishing a municl
pay water works system either by pur
chase of the present system or by build
ing a complete new system. Mayor Green
has appointed a committee of five citi
zens Will B. Du Bols, Chat Knight, M.
G. Fisher, L. M. Hidden and M. F. Kitter
lng to act with the City Council In mak
ing a thorough Investigation of the entire
question.
At a recent mass meeting of the citizens
the general opinion expressed was that
the city should own its own water system.
One plan suggested was to build a new
gravity system, securing the water from
17 miles' distance on the Lewis River.
This plan would cost 3150,000. Another
plan was to drill wells and build a new
pumping plant, the cost of this being es
timated at $75,000. The third was to buy
and improve the present system. The
report of the special committee will settle
the question as to which plan will be
adopted.

The decision of Denver to honor the
Oregon boys is only an example of what
can be expected from athletic organiza
tions in other cities along the route. Such
receptions, it is believed, will do much
to i advertise Oregon. The clubs them
selves will arrange for Informal recep
tions, at which the records of Smlthson.
Gilbert and Kelly will be brought out.
The work of raising the funds necessary
to defray the expenses of the celebration
to be held here is progressing, fairly well,
but there is urgent need for money with
out delay, as the time for preparation is
limited. The reception committee must
be In New York by August 29.
