Will II. Delyj commissioner of public utllltlps. ha (postponed action toward Ung Marquain's gulch as a municipal dumping vlacie, and has also 'lolayed action toward! the establishment of a municipal garbage collection system authorised byi the people. The plans for th establishment of a second In cinerator, also authorised by the peo- ; Pie. are to be held In abeyance until Insults are learned of the experiments In dumping, j This mean that the new scheme Is not to be tried until this fair and the establishment of a municinni urhun collection sysitem until some time later, for according! to Commissioner Daly, the collection) system will be useless until adequate means are provided for the large amount of garbage which will be, collected under the city's man agement. Ho estimates that three times the amount' of garbage 'will be collected then) as there Is collected now b? private tumcerns. ' , 120 Wagons Used. At present jthe Incinerating plant on Guild's lake operated by the city Is caring for all of the garbage collected, although It is working far In advance of the maximum capacity. The maxl mum caps-city Is 150 tons of garbage a day, but durlag the month of June the average was 3 67 tons a day or 17 tons' more then the limit for which . the plnnt was constructed. Several days as much, as 200 tons were dis posed of. There are lpO wagons owned private ly which are now used to collect the garbage and refuse and practically all of then deliver the stuff to. the In cinerator. Ttie wagons carrying' swill are not allowed to be uncovered an4 are to be waiter tluht at all Umoa mi . that nothing leaks to the street. These Wagons are barred ; from the streets from 1:20 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at! night., while the'wagona carrying rubbish, such as boxes, paper. etc.. are barred after 9 o'clock in the morning. These rules have been in ef fect slnceAngust I of last year, but ii is saia tnat tne police are not en forcing them 'as they should. . Will Prosecute violators. owing to a number of comnlaints maae to Commissioner Daly recently-of - these swill collectors being n tho streets after hours, he has taken steps to have the police-strictly enforce the regulations arid see to it that violators are proseeuted. - Dm June S.1011, the people by initia tive measure : authorised a bond issue of I7S.0OO for the establishment of a municipal garbage -collection system. This measure provides that the city Is to own the wagons and require all resi dents to use the system. Th act al lows the city to make a charge for cor recting and disposing of this material. Although this was passed by th Bee- pis more than three years ago nothing ! has been done as yet towards its es tablishment. . In November, a year later, when it was found that the present Incinerator was overtaxed,- the people authorized the issuance tof $100,000 In bonds for th establishment of a second plant Nothing was done until Commissioner Daly took office and thA he took steps v toward the construction of this plant, but postponed action when he learned of the dumping method working satis factorily in Beat tie. , Big avtng' Assured. According to Mr, Daly the dumping plan would be much preferable than using a second incinerator, as dumps could be established In different sec . tlons of the City while the plant would be located In only one district. By fUl 'ing the gulches approximately f 50,000 would he saved yearly, including the overhead expenses of an incinerator plant and the payment of interest on the. bonds and amount due the bonded i Indebtedness fund. ., '"The garbage collection system," ays Mr. Daly,, "is entirely dependent on i proper disposing system. If we established a; municipal collection sys tem immediately and required all resi dents to use It we would have more than three times the amount , of gar bage than we could destroy at the prea- ent plant. I Plan Works la Seattle. "The dumpling-of garbage and cover ing it over with a laying of aoll is working out; satisfactorily In -Seattle and should Work out the same way here. I propose to have a committee of .doctors appointed to investigate into the sanitary features and if everything is successful; there will be no necessity z for , the construction of a second in cinerator. The money authorized need never be expended once .the dumping plan is an actual success, for we have a number or gaieties which will take years to fill jby this method. . "We do not propose to dump swill in this manner, but only garbage and rubbish such as la collected from stores and business houses. ' The swill, of course, will fee burned at .the incinera tor which Will be adequate with the discontinuing of the destruction of -garbage. j - .. . . -.'..

It ia intensely fragrant and lasts but a few hours. ' ' "Our plaht lis Quite small," said Mrs. Ross yesterday in describing it. "It looks like am ordinary cactus and has no beauty in itself; As far as Is known it has not bloomed before irf 10 years. - "The bud ideveloped. during the 10 days preceding the bloom and began to open at 6; p. m Thursday. It kept on spreading its many petals for five hours. "A delicate fragrance like that of a water lily pervaded tha whole house. Many long, slim, pingy sepals round a dainty setting in the waxy, - snow white petals. . The deep throat of the flower was lined with long, thread like stamens, clinging to it in a whorl. Except at the lower side of the mouth a great anmber of the stamens were massed ; together and .tipped with creamy colored- pollen. The flower was centered by the pistil, like a long wax taper which 'was surmounted by a Tadiatlaa- white crown. Tbe bloom -reached its height of perfection about 10 o'clock In the even conditions.

WUlapa Bay Ideal. 'At Wlllapa bay is the possibility of a harbor of the character, as re gards capacity and depth of water, o the harbor at the mouth of the Met sey; and this bay is separated from the Columbia.

At the Kellogg home near La Grande there were; for 40 years- or more a historic fife and flute avbicb accom panied General Sherman on his march to 4he sea. They were the property of John R. Kellogg, fifer major un der General Sherman. Many a time when the fatigued army1 was well nigh exhausted with the "terrible hard ships of that long march, the order came for Major Kellogg"s drum corps to revive the pace of the war-worn soldiers; and the major, who ha In the midst i of battle learned to draw the true martial strains from the fife. played tunes like "The Girl I Left Behind Me," which set the . whole army- Into renewed motion. . Then came lusty cheers for "Fisher's Hornpipe," "The Old Gray Horse That Died In the .Wilderness" and "Tankee Doodle"; and the soldiers said that at. times Major Kellogg with hi fife and not General Sherman with his sword led the array on its march to the sea. Instruments of Feaee as Well. -After the war was over and the sol diers returned to their homes; the shrill fife was' set aside except on special occasions, 'when the fifer led the drum corps. Ordinarily, instead of the fife, the flute In the hands of the master dispensed its soft, rich notes of peace and love. Indeed, it is said that the notes of that flute "helped mightily" la winning tha fair maiden who becams the major's wife and who survives, him at. the garden home and delightful farm they de veloped near- La Grande at the be ginning of the new era of national peace. ' . . A True Artist. Major Kellogg was a rare artist with the flute; hence ; the - boys and girls frequently gathered at his. home from various quarters of the sparse ly settled valley to hear him perform with the instrument during the long winter evenings. There was a good deal of danc in many of the major's army tunes to be sure, but the eth ics of the Kellogg home forbade any Motor Co, F. G. Eptonf Dist. Sales Mgr. Boat Mors . - : J Kellogg.
