PENDLETON A CLOSED TOWN
AND WILL BE KEPT SO
Attempt to Open Games of Various
Kinds in This City Was Nipped in
the Bud by Mayor Hailey.
For several weeks it has been
whispered that gambling was again
gradually opening in Pendleton. The
whisperings became louder and moro
frequent and for the past week sev
oral places have been running gaming
tables openly and above board, appar
ently not trying to keep it a secret
It is claimed that no effort was made
on the part of the police to invest!
gate or stop the gambling; until
Thursday. Mayor Hailey got wind
that in certain places tables wore be
ing run with money in sight. He
called the chief of police to him and
a council of war was held.
It is said that the mayor announc
ed to the chief in no uncertain tones
that Pendleton was supposed to be
a closed town and it had to be kept
closed.
He ordered the police to investigate
and arrest every man found violating
the law. No arrests have been made,
but if the gamblers do not desist from
trying to again thrust their business
openly on the town and defy the of
ficials they will doubtless find them
selves up before the city recorder
with a large fine staring them in .the
face.
IRRIGATION IN COLORADO.
Tho news that the Nile reservoir
was to bo begun was contained in an
announcement on Fob. 20, 1898, to the
effect that the khedive in council had
approved a contract with John Aird
& Co., which settled the much de
bated question. Tho contract called
for tho completion of the two dams
in five years from July 1. 1898, and
the contractors agreed to accept pay
ments bv annual Installments of
$800,000, beginning on the completion
of the .dams and extending over 30
years a total of $24,000,000.
Work was begun immediately after
the contract was signed, and about
a year ago it was stated that progress
had been 30 much more rapid than
had been expected that there was
't.is'ti t i !,iv) " tlir undertak
ing would be completed six months
earlier than was orlginaly thought
possible. Continuous employment on
the Assouan dam has been given for
the last 18 months to 1G.000 opera
tives, 90 per cent of whom are Egyptians.
Cloudbursts and heavy rains in a
few hours Tuesday, damaged the Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland rail
roads to the extent of $100,000 and
possibly more. Seven bridges are
gone on the Rio Grande and many
miles of track washed out in different
places. On the Colorado Midland
three bridges were destroyed and the
track inundated.
MONUMENT UNVEILED.
Magnificent Tribute to Soldiers Who
Fell at Cedar Mountain.
Culnenor. Vn., Aug. 8. The magnifi
cent monument in the National come
tery to the memory of tho soldiers ot
the 28th Now York Volunteer Infan
try, who fell In the battle of Cedar
Mountain, was unveiled today with
Imposing exercises in the prosenco of
an immense throng. Moro than 200
survivors of the regiment came from
Rochester to take part in the core
monies and the number of partici
pants was increased by tho presence
of a large number of confederate vet
e rans.
The address of wolcome was de
livered by the old regimbntal com
mander. Col. E. F. Drown, of New-
York. Hon. Orin Brltt Brown, of Day
ton, O., delivered the oration of the
day, and there was a poem prepared
for the occasion by Gen. Horatio C.
King. Sergeant S. S. Marvin, of Phil
adelphia, made the presentation ad
dress and the speech of acceptance on
behalf of the government was made
by Col. T. E. True, of Washington.
Tomorrow there will bo a general re
union of the reglmont on the battle
field of Cedar Mountain.

OLD PEOPLE
Do not always receive the sympathy and attention which
they deserve. Their ailments are regarded as purely
imn-Miiarv. or natural nnd unavoidable at their tii ft
life. Disease and infirmity should not always be associ-A
nted with old njre. The eye of the gray haired grandsirpl
may be art bright and the complexion as fair as any of
his younger and more vigorous companions.

Conservation of Flood and Waste
Water in South Platte 'Drainage
Basin.
Irrigation in Colorado is most fully
developed in the South Platte and
Arkansas valleys. For years the noiv
mal flow of these streams has been
almost entirely utilized in direct irri
gation from them, but of late attention
has been especially called to the ne
cessity for storage of the winter flow
and flood discharges. Many reservoirs
have already been constructed, bo
that much of the run-off can now be
conserved and used in raising later
and more valuable crops than has
been possible hitherto. The advent of
the sugar beet in Colorado has almost
created a new era in reservoir con
struction. There is still, however, a great
field for further development by
means of the more thorough and com-
tilntn pnnsnrvntlnn nf wnlprR nnw run
ning to waste. Investigations which
have been conducted by the resident
hydographer of the United States
Geological Survey in Colorado, A. L,.
Fellows, C. E., of Denver, have dem
onstrated that throughout the winter
of 1901-02. a winter of comparatively
low discharge, there was an amount $5
of water varying from 300 to 800 cubic J
feet per second nowmg lor a periou
of about four or five months, furnish,
ing approximately 1,000 acre-feet pel
day, on an average, or 15,000 acre-feet
for the period of five months.
Special surveys made for the pur
pose have also demonstrated the ex
istence of sites suitable for the con
struction of reservoirs for the im
pounding of these great quantities ol
water. It is further shown that this
amount of water is avallablo at tho
Uppermost point where the entire
drainage from the mountains is col
lected. Further measurements have
shown that at points farther down tho
stream there is a great increase by
return seapage, and that this return
seapage will undoubtedly become
greater in future, as the water is moru
widely spread over the upper part of
the drainage basin, thus making pos
sible the construction of still more
reservoirs at point lower down on tho
main stream.
There is, it is true, a time at which
additional reclamation of arid landB
by means of irrigation must practi
cally cease, but it would seem from
investigations thus far made that
this time is yet far distant, at least
upon the South Platte river. United
States Geological Survey Bulletin.
THE A8SOUAN DAM.
Great Engineering Work to be Inau
gurated in December Next
London, Aug. 8. It is stated that
the Prince of Wales and General Kit
chener vAll be present with the khe.
divo of Egypt at the formal inaugura
tion of- the great Assouan dam In De
combor. The dam at Assouan, the
last coping stone of which was laid
with suitable ceremonies last week,
marks the completion of tho Nile res
ervoir, which, with the excqption or
tho Suez canal, Is considered the
greatest of all the public works con
structed In Egypt during tho British
occupation of that land. It 1b butflt
ting therefor that Its inauguration
should bo attended by the heir to
tho throne ami the general who did
so much for the pacification of the
upper Nile region.
The new reservoir will enable, wide
tracts of lands to bear two crops a
year Instead of one, will bring waste
districts into tillage, and will greatly
increaso the area of sugar cultivation.
The resorvolr will supply 1,000,000
cubic meters of water annually. The
dam at Assouan 1b 1 miles long. It
Is pierced by 180 oponlngs, which
have steel sluico gates.

THIS 1INSTE UM RNT
Is without question the most wonderful improvement
over the ordinary guitar ever offered to the .muiica
nublic: the extension of the body, as shown in lus
tration, increases the volume of the instrument ,i
per cent, and being fastened to the head atrengiw ,
the neck to such an extent that it is impossible,
it to warp, and the clamp being slotted, the ne
can be raised or lowered to suit. ,
Heretofore players have objected to Harp um
because of their being so clumsy and awkwar

tirely nf w principle, and can be played with Ju
