reached Mount Tabor reservoir No. 5
at :SO o'clock this morning. Th big
reservoir,' whloh will hold 60,000,000
gallons of water, Is being filled with
clear Bull Run ivater. Chief Engineer
D. D. Clarke of the water department
has been at the big reservoir all the
morning and until he returns Informa

flow of water that is now coming
through the p!p line and as to how
long It will take to fill the big reser
voir.
Only a comparatively small head Of
water has been turned Into the new
pipe line up to this time, as it was
necessary for the water to work Its
way through the pipe slowly. The
water was also retarded in its flow
by all the blow holes being open so the
Impurities In the new pipe could be
washed out. These are now being closed
and the headgate will be gradually
ralstd to slowly . Increase the flow. It
Is thought the maximum flow cannot
be turned in before the end of two
weeks.
According to the estimates of the
englee'of the water department the
new pipe line will deliver, at its maxi
mum, 45,000,000 gallons of water at the
reservoir every 24 hours. But it is
stated that the formula by wbich this
estimate was reached in never exact, so
what the flow of the pipe line will be

measured. There is a meter at the in

also a weir, so the water can be accu

""Aberdeen, Wash., Sept. S. Blood
hounds this morning are on the trail
of a man believed to be. (he murderer
of John and William Bauer. The bod
lea of the lS-year-old twin sons of
Henry Bauer were found late yester
day afternoon covered with leaves and
bark in the woods. Bullet holes In the
heads of each boy showed that a dou
ble murder had been committed.
The bodies were found near the shack
of tho boys' uncle, John Turno. Turno
has been suspected of being Insane. He
cannot be found and the sheriffs' posse
la on his trail on tho supposition that
he committed the murder.
The boys' bodies were so cleverly
concealed that only the bloodhounds'
noses discovered them. The dogs fol
lowed Turno's trail to the Satsop river,
where he had made a camp.
Turno is believed to be hiding In the
fastnesses of the Wynooche. A report
from Sheriff Payette this morning
, stated that his party had taken up the
tratl.
The cause of th crime is believed
today to be that Turno thought his
nephews wanted to capture him and
taki; him home. He was in the woods
once before tot a year, when the hpys
found and took him back. He vowed
tlitn that he would resist' capture
again.

today after a session with the customs

of Jewels, appraised at J800.000. She
had not declared the rare gems In her

BAD ACOUSTICS AR

Dissatisfaction of county officials
and of those who have had occasion to .
transact business in the east wing of
the new courthouse Is forming a storm :.
of protest. Bad acoustics, big halls
that are pleasing to the eye but curtail v.
the working space, and what seems to
many to be absurd limitations by the
architects as to weight that can be j
carried by the floors, are some pf the
causes of complaint, but there are
many others. , .
Whidden & Lewis, who planned the
east wing, are also the architects for
the west wing, upon which construc
tion work la to be commenced Septem
ber IB. As the plans for the west wing
are along the same lines as those for
the other part of the building, and are
believed to include the same faults al
leged to exist in the part already built, .1,'
there is added protest for what is to 1
come.
