A great secret had been divulged as to the means of access to old "Sandy,'1 and since then "Sandy's" difficulties and correspondence , have greatly increased. - , Many little boys and girls think that Santa Claus has his headquarters near The Journal office and some of the tots have tried to reach the kindly friend os, hopeful youth through letters -sent to this paper.

W. Vincent of Pendleton Declares That It Solves the ' i ;'. Water 'Problem.' ? KILLS OFF PRACTICE ; : ' OF THE WATER HOCS Distributes the' Tariff ' Fairly and Pleases Everyone Because It Is Just Allows - Cheaper Rates for Houses and Sprinkling; Purposes. , Pendleton man- LrwlXSheldT agar of tha Northwest Qaa Electrlo company, declares that Portland people are paying too much for. their water. Ha la a strong advocate Of the meter system. Several years ago, while mayor of -Pendleton. Dr- Vincent Installed meters on every service pipe . In. that city. "It la the only Just way of paying for water." ha said yesterday. "It is cheaper for the average consumer and Is equitable to everybody, as you pay for exactly whatwatar yo:ee: "When "TC was announced that the consumers wouia nave o w."" there were many-protests. at the ex ponas, but people now understand thai it la cheaner for them to have meters and they aro well satisfied. Under the old system of flat rate the minimum charge for a dwelling waa tl.to. Now it ia tl. and hardly a houae in town paya more than that. Aa I remember it. tha meters coat about ft, and every consumer in Pendleton naa to ouy one, which was supplied at oost by the city ' -The eltv owna the water system and the well from which . the water ia pumped. The Northweat Qaa as Electric company oontracta to pump the water Into the mains at the rate of 1 cent per 1,000 gallons. There is a wastage which is hard to And. but to learn lust what It Is we will put a meter at the pump and the difference between the total amount anuwn uy uio consumers meters and the pump mater , will give the wastage. .. Decrease la ITtoe. - "We pump 1.000.004 gallons ' dally, more or less. That' costa the city tt.iOO a year. The two men employed coat the city $lt a' month. Allowing for depreciation, the water can be supplied the consumer at less than t cents per 1.000 gallons. -1 -understand that your heaviest consumers here pay for water 1H cents per. 1.000 gallons, while the email consumer pays 10 to SO cents per l.etto. gaiiona r it 'seems to me mat water . supplied by gravity as. yours Is here - can be furnished .even , cheaper than It is handled by power, aa at Pen dleton. I can see no reason' why your ratee here should be ao high. - "But it la necessary te put metere on every . service pipe: , you can't meter eorae consumer and not all of .them., , I don't take any stork In the proposed scheme of paying water rates by taxa tion,, .mere lent a single good reason for It. "As to sprinkling, it 1a Impoealble te force people to sprinkle only during oar tain hour a Under the flat rate System In Pendleton sprinkling waa permitted only at certain times and aa a result nobody got any pressure and the lawna dried up. There were too many people drawing from one main at . the same time. , , -,- , "Under tha meter system voir" can sprinkle at any time you wish and there Is pressure enough for everybody. And the water hog does not bide his hose under the bushes and let It run all night not If he knows he must pay for every gallon ho usee measured by a meter." . .
