Believing' that th' rainy season will
y much bttr than warm weather to
experiment with the plan of disposing
of garbags by dumping It Into gulches.
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

"Tfcese dumps can be located " in

NIGHT BLOOMING SPECIES
OF CACTUS MAKES DEBUT
Rare Kind of Plant Flowers
at Intervals Years Apart,
Always at Night.
A night blooming eereus plant ownefl
by . Mr. and Mrs. - J. ' Thorburn Ross
came Into bloom at their residence. 690
Main street, last, Thursday night.' f or
the first time! since it has been in their
possession.
The fclgftt blooming cereus Is a spe
cies of --cactus -and is more, or less of
botanical arity, blooming at odd
Intervals years aart ' and always at
night. 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. He thought ' it should be
hard nurfaced" early next year. The
quantity of Irock "could be v easily ob
tained - along the - Columbia , river,
which, if properly mixed with asphalt,
ic California - oils, would, he thought;
furnish the"; best- surfaca." - -,
-Continuing; Mr. Hill said the peo
ple of Oregon do not reaXze what they
have, in the Columbia highway, run
ning; "from Portland to. the - sea- and
from Portland . to the east. He pre
dicted that never again will an equally
beautiful, serviceable or - ecenomio
road be built In Oregon or elsewhere,
because -of the efficient organization
now in charge of "the work and be
cause there is no . eaually - good sim
ilar r stretch , of-- country ," in-- wbich , to

which has led him: ta this conclusion
"Nature has endowed the Columbia
atod Fuget sound section with the es
sential elements of commercial suprem
acy on. this coast, and I confidently
predict that this portion of the coast
will become" to the commerce of the
Pacific ocean what the section of the
Atlan tic between Boston and Phlladel
phia is to the commerce of the Atlantic
ocean." ' -: .
Mr. Williams study la exhaustive.
He explained Vesterday why he had
done the work.
Seaports Are TJnsurpassed. '
. "Oregon people need but to know
the facts of their state to be optimistic
about it and enthusistlc . for it," he
said. "I hope to see my work nubllshed
n pamphlet form for general distribu-
tion less througiv-eooperation with the
Commercial elub and the Development
league and have already had the pro
position favorably before representa
tives of theee organizations. I seek for
no persqnal profit. ' '
"Midway, between Mexico and Alaska
nature has endowed the west coast of
North America with a seaport situa
tion unsurpassed If not unequalled by
any other situation of -its kind In the
world," reads an introductory com
ment.i
"The great Columbia river, the
largest river on the Pacific coast, ,1s
navigable 110 miles inland to Port
land -for alt but ; the very largest
ocean, Bteamships. and can easily be
made i navigable 300 miles further In
land to Priest's Rapids for the op
eratlon of fleets of barges drawing
ten feet of water.
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. Inside the bar, by a neck
of land only two or three mlws across,
Puget sound- is an arm of the sea
with several good deep-water situation
and I understand It will .be practicabl
at some future time to connect all!
these harbors by canals. . ?
"This commercial situation and
these conditions are right where two
kindred nations Join; one already
nation of the very first rank, and the
other clearly destined by its resources
and the character of its Inhabitants
to become a great nation.
"These two . ontries may easily
have 800,000,000 inhabitants at the
close of this century.
"Regarding accessibility, the, Colum
bia passage through the Cascade range
provides, a water-level route for sev
eral railroads." . ,

dicate that the greatest populations
are best sustained in other countries
in latitudes similar to" that of the Col
umbia basin. Ha predicts a great attl-;
ity from the develbpment- of water
power - U the Columbia basin., saying
that it may. easily become the most
obtainable cheapest and most effici

Streams Axe Measured.
He submits a. very complete state
ment of the measurement of the flow
of streams In Ortgoti and their poten
tial hydro-electric energy. He suggests
that the time la at hand when rail
roads will use electric energy to propel
their trains, and when the water pow
er developed In streams wll be used in
carrying the water to lands to be ir
rigated. . ,
Mr.' Williams also suggests that rea
sonable artificial application of water

will bs profitable. "

By J. B. IT.
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.

the war was over and the sol

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

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
