' which any city in the world can boast.
',' S Tbq Portland fair. Is a. public Institu

that which may accrue to the city, and

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. Port-
- jani ia the natural Outlet and market

building up but for-', much of the meat

other factor la so prolific of results In

as the fair, and livestock ' show. For

Winters before he, was ready for mar-
ket The stock Show Is largely responsi
ble for bringing about this change and
11 means much to Portland and tribu
tary country. ; 'When ' our . livestock , la !
properly Improved and we are producing
what we ought to produce, the volume
of business passfng through the clearing
- bouse from our stock yards will amount
to more than that from any other three
Industries combined.,-
Th Portland' fair was established
. 4 primarily to stimulate this very Import
) ant industry and Incidentally to ro-
vide not only an educational institution,
' but a great playground and an annual
- entertainment feature such as every-clty
- of any Importance maintains.
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. And they will not
oe disappointed for they will be greeted

' A grand parade of the finest stock
on the Pacific coast will follow the for
mal opening by the governor of the
state and the mayor of the city. Then
-win come horse racing of grand circuit
cnaracter on the fastest race course
est of the Mississippi river. Between
heats the time -trtir.be closely occupied
by special features such as we have
, never before seen at an Oregon fair.
, - It is extremely opportune that the
Portland fair Is the first on the cir
cuit and opens on Labor day, Monday,
September 5 when aU business wilt be
-' closed and everybody will have an op
, portunlty to go to the fair. 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

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

SHORTAGE OF CARS ,

Inability to get cars promptly is said
to again be confronting lumber shlp-

Jls not' at serious as' usually at this time

underground waters to where we need
them,-yet we -spend over $3,000,000 in
conduits from the same source to get
the same supply.
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 '

Satnre of Arguments.
The nature of the arguments filed Is
well illustrated by the following copy
of the argument filod by Mr, Chin
nock who is a candidate to succeed
H. 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
