The . report waa made that tha well supplying the Arleta and Lents district was not' sufficient;-: that the pumps could not be kept running all the time, and aa a result there was a fre quent shortage, which, would likely be come serious as the dry season ad vanced. In view of tola condition It waa proposed to ask tha , Portland - water board to have the proposed second Bull - Run pipe' line come by " weyof Mount Scott and thence to Mount Tenor, it was said that the additional eost would be little; that the new main could be tapped at Mount Scott, and the city water board derive a handsome revenue by supplying tha 10,000 people f this district with Bull Run water.

HAD ITS LAST HIGH WATER (Special Dispatch ta The Jeers si Hood River, Or, Aug. The fact that there has been no high water in the Columbia river now for two seasons is causing pioneer residents .-. who - - have bean familiar with stages of water in the river for many years to reminisce. "The weather ain't what It used to be ; an' the seasons la changing" they "Why." aald one old fellow, "tbia la the flrat time la 10 yeara to jnysnowl edge that the boats have not been able to land for ' two - years in succession light ever . there," . pointing to a epot about 100 yards from, tha Mount Hood hotel. "Why," he continued, "there wasn't water enough this year to flood the bottom lands across tha river. "The high water la agolnter quit com- In', I gueas, same as. the lee did. - We youeter get Ice in plenty here years ago. The river uster freesa over most every winter,- yes, sir. But you can't get no Ice here now in the winter. Look at there Icehousoa down 'long tha river fallln' to places. Ain't bean any Ice in them for yeara. . . ..i ...'.. It'U be the same way with the high water, I tell yer; itll quit coming, like the Ice." ' -'. '-' " - " Whlla not taking the pessimistic-view of the pioneer above quoted In regard i to the failure of high water to come for tha past two seasons, - many parsons who hsvo-resided along1 the Columbia for a goodly portion of their Uvea,' eub stsntlate his statement and aay thst they have never known high water to fall for two yeara in auoeession. - Old rlvsrmen and -fishermen attribute tha poor fishing this year to the lack of high watsr and say that the fish wheels along the - Columbia between here and Portland have made the small est catch la yeara. They account for thie by the fact that when the water is low the fish have to follow the chan nel, which la neceeearlly lnmtdetreara or nesr - it, and ' do not get Into the eddies where the wheels are located. They also aay that when the water is low the fish will not come up stream In aa great numbers as when It la at a high atage. ' The failure rt the water to reach some of the bottom lands along the river has caused a partial loss of some crops which required irrigation early In the eeason and .upon which Vster cannot be got, In any other way.' This is said to be the case with tha tomato crop on tha Washington - side of the river. Most residents do not, however, believe ' that high , water has stopped coming and look for it next year optimistically.: GARTER SNAKE CREATES SCENE .
