"Another thing, the question of wheth

Mr. Barker did not break any rock
while at Linnton. He helped make up
the yearly balance and aided Superin

With the prisoner at the rockpile
was the rich man's pet dog, "Boots,"
who seemed to enjoy the fun of seeing

Barker denied he was under the in

Barker was arrested last Sunday by
Motorcycle Policeman Coulter, who
said that Barker was driving his ma

on the Sandy road. He failed to ap

and a bench warrant was issued for
him. Tuesday he entered a plea of

One of the reasons given by tha
the fine stock is brought to the show
largely because if is then possible to
sell the prise animals to the Christ

were taey exhibited, at any other time.
Last year the show in Portland was
held December 8 to lSt inclusive, and
the Lewiston show was held the week
before In order to avoid the conflict,
but' now the Lewiston people want
their show on the dates selected by
the Portland managers.
While no understanding was reached
yesterday, further effort will be made
to come to some understanding that
will prove satisfactory to both inter

An elimination from the Deschutes

ing of about 410,763 acres gross and
290,000 acres net vacant government
land, has been ma,de,by President Wil
son by executive order signed March
12. 60,893 acres of the elimination being
within the Deschutes forest and 349.-
870 acres within the Paulina forest.
central Oregon.
Although this elimination Is In two
separate forests, it ,lles In the same
general locality, since the two forests
adjoin.
One hundred and seventy-six thou
sand acres gross of this elimination,
lying about the towns of LaPine and
Crescent, are covered with lodgepols
pine.
These lands have not been finally
classified by the department of agri
culture as to their agricultural charac
ter or value.
Two hundred , and twenty-one thou
sand acres gross of the elimination
lie In the hills about the Fort Rock
valley and are covered with avsparse
growth of juniper trees and sage brush.
The district forester, George II,
Cecil of this city, states he has not
received as yet any particulars as to
the date the land will be opened to
settlement and to entry. "Any Inquiries
as . to this matter should be made at

is now under the jurisdiction of these

prior to the tragic disappearance, prov

"Where did you go that winter's day
after you left BrentanoX Dorothy?"
I asked her.
''I like you, but who sent you? I
don't tell all about my past," almost
menacingly challenged the .girl.
"Why io you torture your family
so? Why did you disappear?" I atdted.
Aer.in that baffling silence, then the
choking sobs, and the girl, clinging i
cloxe about me. whispered, "Don't,
don't auk me. Won't you please write
father though, and tell him I want
him? Margy knows how to reach him
if he is away.''

is a profile view and Is singularly like
the profile pictures of Dorothy Arnold
I sent out at th time of her disappear
ance and the difference now being that
which would be caused by illness and
lack of extreme care. The careful
grooming, the cameo like clearness of
the New York society girl has gone,
but there are the same pouting, al
most voluptuous lips, the rather large
nose with prominent nostrils, the same
heavy lids dropping over the eyes.
Refusing to say why she fled from
New Tork. the girl said:
"When I left home I stayed in New
Tork for a while no, I won't say
where. Then I went to Rochester."
She refused to say how she came
to California.
"I was well and working then. I
was with the movies in Glendale for
a while, then I was sick."
Those who were with her today,
' Mrs. Orosse and Mrs. Wilson, say
that Miss Evans, as she calls herself,
has said that her father sent her
. money, but that of late her letters
have been unanswered.
BENEFICIAL RESULT
OF PROPOSED WATER
PLAN DEMONSTRATED
(Continued From Page One)
The people of Portland have three
times by vote directed the officials
of this city to purchase meters. They
did this in connection with the vote on
water bond issues, and they did so hav
ing in mind the desirability of effi
cient and economical administration
of the water system.
"I have been advised by the city
attorney that the vote by the people
is not merely advisory, but that it is
mandatory upon the city officials to
do what the people have directed by
their thrice repeated vote should be
done. j
Service to be Simplified.
"The installation of meters would
simplify amazingly the problem of
giving adequate service. The public
asks for good service; we ask for bet
ter tools with which to do the work
required. "
"We are told that by increase of
the water mains we can supply all tae
water wanted by consumers without
going to the additional expense of met
ers. How in the name of sense is any
engineer going to tell the size of the
niains to b Installed in connection
with any distributing system if he
is prevented from ascertaining the con
sumption and waste of water, which
can only be arrived at by measure
ment? "We receive complaints that with
part of the consumers on meters and
the other chargeu a flat rate there is
discrimination. How can there be
other than discrimination? Meters in
volve a measurement of actual ser
vice; flat rate service is a guess.
Where Is Equity T
"We hear it said that water is not
a manufactured product and hence
ought not to be metered. These same
complainants alt agree that the large
services should be metered, while they
say the domestic service should not
j be metered. Where Is the equity in
i metering the service of a barber shop
tliat uses 5000 cubic feet of water,
and furnishing service on a flat rate
to domestic services that waste 5000
cubic feet.
"When figuring on the extension or

' gently figure on the cost or the design
as long as the service is unmeasured.

should attempt to build the mains

"The 'large consumer to our think

"I desire, therefore, to define a
"large consumer" as applied to an av

stance, that of the city of Portland.
"The Standard dictionary's defini
tion of the word "large" is: 'Great, or
ample as regards size, quantity, extent,
capacity, etc.
"As used in Portland in connec
tion with the water supply, I suppose
the general understanding of a "large
consumer" would be one who is en
gaged In some manufacturing, or other
business enterprise of almost any
character, and is not understood to
mean any residence service whatso
ever. Or, in other words, it means
"the other fellow and not the average
householder.
"But, upon reflection, should we not
be willing to consider that 'large,'
when used in such a connection, is
comparative only, and may properly be
taken to mean one who secures more

A number of questions were asked.
Thomas HIslop said that a meter in
stalled at his daughter's home had
been removed after but three years'
service and another installed.
"Meters are put on small services
now merely as a police measure to de

annual outlay, for the work would of :
