Mains More Direct. OREGON CITY, Or, June 1. (Spe cial.) The final survey for the' pipe line from the south fork of the Clack amas River for Oregon City's municipal water supply Is practically , completed. With the exception of a small force connecting up the land lines, all the surveying parties, which have been In the field since April 20, have been dis banded. Three parties have been employed at different times on different sections of the work. On Wednesday of last week, when these sections were completed, the total distance was found to be 24.9 miles, and not 26.1 miles, as estimated in the preliminary survey. This saving of 1.2 miles results for the most part from a more direct course than the county roads, as proposed in the first survey. The general route, however, follows the preliminary survey, said Engineer Hal A. Rands Monday. From the In take on the couth fork of the Clack amas, about 3000 feet above Its con fluence with the main river, the line follows the left bank of the south fork and thence down the left bank of the main river to a point about a quarter of a mile south of the county bridge at csiacaaa, tnence across DuBois- creek, near the old DuBols mill, ascending gradually to the summit of the Spring water ridge. From this point, swinerinsr to the left, the route follows nearly a uiieL una to ana across Ulear Creek canyon to the Redland four-corners. crossing Clear Creek about half a mile Deiow vioia. The narrow canyon at this point greatly reduces the length oi mgn pressure pipe, compared with the preliminary estimate. The engineers will require a few aays to prepare the estimates.
