.Reduction Announced.
The City Water Board yesterday af
ternoon recommended to the City Coun-
rll a 50-per cent decrease In the water
rates for 1909. This reat cut Is made
possible because of the new order of
things that has been brouKht about by

lnd for an annual payment by the mu
nicipality of 150.000 for the use of the
rlty water, and because no more water
funds will be needed to pay for new
. mains'.
Superintendent Podte pointed out
that the average rate per consumer In
Portland compare very favorably with
the average In 64 cities of the t'nited
States havlntf more than pO.000 popula
tion. It Is Just $13 a year in this c-ity,
which is considered low. The new rates
will brine In sufficient funds to pay
all operating; costs and Interest on
bonds and the xinklnjc fund.
Th Board waa in session for several
hours, and during the meeting award
m iwntTBot for S000 maters. at
R. Worthlngton Company and the bal
ance by the Union Meter Manufactur
ing Company, the total amount voted
for the meters being J20.000.
The Water Board also awarded to
Steele. Bertelson & Company the con
tract to build the Kast. Side Water of
fice, the amount of the bid being $19,

Told to Desist in Prosecution of
Men Accused of Violating Pro
hibition Law.
LA GRANDE. Or., Dec. 8. (Special.)
Angus Stewart. Justice of the Peace for
the City of La Grande, this afternoon
received an unsigned letter informing
him to desist In the prosecution of local
option violators, under threat of death.
V hile not taking the open threat serious
ly himself, his friends are rather
alarmed." The letter reads:
"To Angus Stewart, Justice of the
Peace. La Grande. Or. Sir: Tou have
your first knock-out drops. Be wise, so
that you may not require another. Leave
duty alone and be good, for sometimes
lead does Its duty. You would make a
good preacher. Take my advice (take to
your calling) before the undertaker is
called in. I am one of your particular
friends."
The threat was dated at La Grande and
written with a typewriter. The first
"drops" mentioned Is evidently a refer
ence to the recent request of the District
clared the committing magistrate, which
will remove a large percentage of Justice
fees.
