The objects- of the fair are multitudinous, but the prime object la to encourage and stimulate the breeding jof more and better livestock a matter -f vital Importance to our city.

No other factor la so prolific of results In . ihs betterment of Uvestock iconditlons as the fair, and livestock ' show. For toerly the - four-year-old steer ' Wta rounded up and sent to market over the neales at around' a- thousand- pounds. Today the well bred long yearling goes to market weighing ten to twelve hun dred pounds. .

Support Xs Worthy, - The support ot. such' a proposition la well wor-ihy the -effort of the ''Live Vlres," and It Is eminently proper that this new and highly electrified organ ization should make Jts first charge In lis behalf. A "Live . Wire"-literally Interpreted means a vigorous supporter of every worthy cause for the advance ment of the city's welfare. It is pub lic philanthropy personified and the way the Portland "Live Wires" have sacri ficed time and energy for the suooess or the fair is worthy the highest pos sible commendation and Is most heartily appreciated by the officers and directors t ot the fah association.' Their methods v have been tinlque,' to say the least, and ... while .they have procured a handsome sum of .money they have dorte far more for the fair by -the splendid publicity they have given it They have brought the fair to the attention of the people and filled the air with "fair spirit" to . the extent that when' the gates are thrown open Monday, Sept 6, there will be the largest crowd at the grounds to ee the splendid attractions . provided that has ever been gathered In the olty on such an occasion.

The crowd ' on that day Is expected to tax the ca pacity of the grounds, but with a free seating privilege of 8000 people and ad ditional capacity of 4000 in the grand stand we hope to make the big crowd quite comfortable and the program will be pulled off on time according to schedule,- The Ooldless Facer.

Dutch Belted cow that was a Plenty of Water Underlies ; - District on the East Side ; By -B. M. Brereton, tit. E. East Portland suburban districts ly ing west of Mt Scott,r Kelly's Butte and Mt Tabor on the east, and the Willamette river, on the west, embrace an . area of about 80 square miles or- 20,000 acres. This area includes Pied mont and Woodlawjv north of the Base Line road,' acd all south of it to ttte low land of Johnson creek At the present time public attention Is centered sqlely on Bull ' Run water supplly; the available much larger sup ply underlying this entire area is neg lected, though it cornea from the same source In the scade range. The Bull Run water-supply, at the present f time. Is estimated to. be IS,- 000,000 gallons per day of 24 hours or 86,400 seconds. The proposed new con duit supply will add 46,000,000 gallons, making the total fuure supply 88,000,- 000 per day. This volume of water Is the estimated maximum supply of the Bull Run river during the dry period of the year. 1 ' , ... r,: . The present capacity of the storage reservoirs on MV Tabor Is estimated to be 82,000,000 gallons. The two new reservoirs will add 125,000,000 gallons, making a total 6t 207,000,000 gallopa The capacity of the reservoirs on the h West Side has an estimated total of 14,770 gallons; this, added to the Mt Tabor storage, glv.es a grand total of 241,770,000 gallons. It will take the full combined capacity of the present and new conduits from Bull Run about three and one half days or 84 houca to fill this storage capacity. . Springs la Xadd 7am. On the Ladd Crystal Springs farm of 900 acres, west of Woodstock, there are seven strong springs which supply the lake thereon. The run-ff from the lake. at the present time, Is not less than 80 gallons per second, or 7,000,000 gallons per 24 hours. This la Only the visible run-off from .these springs or from the lake, -v V.f ' , ' : There, Is probably three times this volume flowing underground from these springs Into the bed and below the bed of the "Willamette river. This estimate of the supply available from the Crys tal Farm springs amounts to nearly the present daily supply from Bull Run. There are other strong flowing springs visible between the west end of Knight street, , Woodstock, (from which the Fleck water supply is ob tained), and Holgate road at Kenil worth, east to the car shops, and as far north as the Powell Valley road. . . ; Hot Checked jr. Drought. . All .these Crystal Farm springs and other springs north are flowing at the present time as strongly as they , did two months ago, yet there has been.no rainfall. This Is clear evidence that the source o supply must be within the catchment areas of the Bull Run .and Sandy rivers. Nature conveys these quoting, In sentiment ' not In words.

These underground waters must be pure, wholesome and abundant through their slow flowage of 40 miles or more through sand and gravel. No surface waters or sewage can possibly contam inate the deep underground water be cause there exist ' intervening layers of hardpan or clay, and the natural fall of the ground-to the Willamette river would prevent any vertical or downi ward seepage. . ,, .., . 7 Oood Well Water. ; Throughout' the suburban districts lying between the Base, Line road 'and Johnson creek the average level of the surface is -abeit 22S feet ; above sea level. On this plateau excellent water is found between 130 and 160 feet be low the surface, and In gravel and boulder.. , x , - ' In the vicinity of Mt Scott, Kelly. Butte and eastward the same water will' be found at, a depth not exceeding 100 feet if Between the Woodstock, I vanhdo, Waverlelgh and Hawthorne Heights and the river, the wells would not exceed, 30 to 60 feet In depth. Atall the above levels below surface of ground a gravel and boulder stratum will, be found, through which the underground waters percolate freely tor the supply of wells. A stick ot dynamfte exploded at the bottom of the pipe-well will force the gravel back and1 form an excellent sump for the svictlon pipe. There will be. no sand or sediment if this method in gravel stratum be adopted, to wear out the pump leathers; the water will be perfectly clear and bright One well for each four or five acres will supply all the water that can be possibly needed for Irrigation during the summer season for domestlo use and for" preventing the dust nuUance, and tor Quickly applied fire protection throughout the suburban districts. , Cost of WslI SrlTlnr. The maximum cost of a driven pipe well ' on the Woodstock . plateau would not exceed$1000, complete with motor power and. air tight tank and pumping plant The cost would be proportion ately tess for the Lents and Mt. Scott districts, and for the Sell wood and oth er lower lylnjr districts. . The -tanks should ba automatic and pneumatic In action; the maximum pressure need not exceed 60 pounds per square inch for the Irrigation of lots, house siipply and fire protection.. The annual cost of power for pumping, gas oline ahd lubricating oil will probably not exceed 86 per lot or dwelling. Bull Run supply will never be less than 112 per ordinary dwelling per year or 18 cents per 1000 gallons at meter rate; this will not furnish water for Irriga tion. ' ', , v ' Woodstock.

L. Holgate as water commissioner from; the First district: . '"Mr. Chinnock is a lawyer whose practice has been mainly In. the lrrt gated portion of- the state. , Because of his experience ' as 1 an attorney and his knowledge of practical lrrlaatlon and water law, he was selected by the state board pr water, control as its secretary at Its first meeting. In connection with his duties as secretary of that board be has made a careful study of the provisions of . the new water, 'law and" has materially assisted in forming and shaping the procedure thereunder relative to watertight adjudications. He has Worked with the present super intendents and has had general " charge of the of f ice s of the board and is thoroughly in sympathy with develop ment of they 'water resources of . the state. At present more than1 sixty pe titions , for : water - right adjudication are on file lr his office and many of these, are in process of ; adjudication. Water rights ' representing millions of dollars of 'invested capital are involved. and what a change in administration at this, time with, this new water law In operation less than tw years, would mean should be carefully consiJerSIl by the thoughtful voter. The' duties of a superintendent relate mainly to water right "adjudications and administration of the water law in . bis division; and the law itself requires that the superm tendent possess a technical and expert knowledge of Irrigation law .and its administration Csectlon 8, chapter 216, laws 1S08). He must solve problems that are constantly arising' with refer ence to water rights. -, Mr. Holgate, the present- superintendent, is not a can didate for re-election, but Mr. Chln- nocK s election - wouia not, mean a change in policies or methods. Tha successor of MrT Holgate should be a man qualified to assume tho duties of the office at ones at the expiration of his term. Mr. Chinnock believes he is peculiarly fitted for his office, with the experience ho-has had as an attor ney and secretary of the board. He makes - no appeal for political or per sonal reasons, but believes that the in terest of the public demands the man best -qualified for the office, "should tie chosen. He is a direct primary candidate,- with a clean record, and comes straight to tha people for their indorse ment as to his quallflcatlopa ' He asks for no other indorsement than the peo ple's. lie believes that his candidacy will receive tha support and "encourage ment of overy thoughtful voter who ia interested ia the development alfd pro-, tectlon of the water resources of tha state.- ' --! ; '., , ; WOMAN WORTH $2800 STARVES TO DEATH .: Cw 'l - v.'V--'o , (By' the lotersatlonal News Berries.)
