STOKES, Uncommon Clothes, THE MORNING ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. WATER COMMISSION HOLDS MEETING REGULAR SESSION LAST EVEN ING CONSIDERS REPORT OF SU PERINTENDENT BERGSVICK ON CONSTRUCTION OF DAM. The Water Commission met last night In regular session. J. Q. A. Bowlby occupleJ the chair. Messrs. J. Q. A. Bowlby, C. J. Trenchard, F. A. Fisher and H. G. Van Dusen were present Messrs. -S. Elmore, A. Brlx and C S. Wright were absent. After the reading and appoval of the minutes of the last meeting, the clerk's and treasurer's reports and that of the superintendent were read and placed on file. The report of Superintendent Bergs vick called attention to the fact that the contractor repairing the lower mains had left off the covers of the big gates of the distributing system. The matter was referred to the city attorney. The bills and recommendations of the auditing committee were approved. Communications from the Lorenson Logging Company and J. Q. A. Bowl by were ordered placed on file. The request for return of over-charge by the Tongue Point Lumber Company was granted. The request for reduction of charges for the past month by Sanborn's can ney was granted to the extent of $10. The distributing pipe froze and burst during the recent freeze and the wa ter flowed freely on the wrong side of the company's meter, which charged the lost water to the cannery. The application of J. C. Des Graces for the position of superintendent, made vacant by the resignation of Lars Bergsvlck, was read and placed on file. Mr. Des Granges, who had come down from Seattle to be pres ent, was examined. No definite ac tion was taken, but Mr. Des Granges, who leaves town this morning will be notified of the Commission's decision as soon as made. The report of Superintendent Lars Bergsvlck on the contemplated dam at Bear Creek was given. This stated that the nature of the ground was different from what had been expected and the cost in con struction of the dam would be much higher than has been estimated. There is no solid rock for a base, as was expected, and the foundation will have to be extended down until It rests upon a strata of blue clay. The exact distance from the surface of this clay is not known as yet, and makes the estimates somewhat vague. No solid rock for a masonry wall was avail able and concrete would have to be substituted. Mr. Bergsvlck stated that a dam 85 feet high and penning up 210,000,000 gallons of water, would cost between $90,000 and $100,000. A reservoir hold ing 100,000,000 gallons would cost half as much. The larger dam would extend fifteen or twenty feet below the surface and rest upon the blue clay sub-soli. Be cause of the unstable ground the con crete wall would have to be heavy, about 25 feet thick at the base and eight feet thick at the top. It was suggested that, as the city requires only a hundred million gal lons reservoir at present, but would certainly need a larger one after a while, that the dam re so built that though only containing a hundred mil lions it rculd be built un when need ed to contain the two and a quarter millions. This would cost about $60, 000. The Idea was adopted by the board to the extent of requesting the superintendent to draw up plans in accordance with it. : Owing to the advanced estimate in the cost of the proposed dam, the Commission is divided as to whether it would not be more advisable to con struct a larger reservoir near town The present one at the city nark Is ijot very large and might prove too small In case of fire. It was pointed jut that with a larger reservoir near town the iii'cossity of shutting off wa ter nt such times as the past frcox would be at least partially obviated, The only other business of import ance transacted was the acceptance of a 2-Inch ntnln owned by 'Mr. Fin vel. The Patrol, Electro and other boats have been using it until the recent freeie, when It burst. Upon the formal transfer of the pipe the break will be repaired by Superin tendent Lars Bergsvlck. EVEN FROM THE MOUNTAINS Ballard's Snow Liniment Is praised for the good it does. A sure cure for Rheumatism and all pains. Wright W. Loving, Grand Junction, Colo., writes: "I used Ballard's Snow Lini ment last winter for Rheumatism and can recommend It as the best liniment on the market. I thought, at the time I was taken down with this trouble, that it would be a week be fore I could get about, but on apply ing your liniment several times during the night, I was about In 43 hours, and well In three days."
