Councllmen Are in Bamhart Gulch,
Where Fresh Spring Water Guthe
From the Hillside.
Thp question of pure water for do
mestic use In Pendleton Is now be
ing agitated.
The water commission met yester
day afternoon in regular monthly
session and among other things dls"
cussed was the possibility of secur
ing artesian water for the city's uso.
To this end Ihe commission, headed
by Councilman Clopton, left this
morning for Barnhart gulch, seven
mtles from Pendleton, to Inspect the
country In regard to securing arte
sian water.
The matter of water for domestic
purposes has been agitating the city
council and health commlssslon for
several years, but "little has been
done in the past on account of the
financial condition of the city. It is
not likely that any definite steps fur
ther than the inspection of the
ground, will be taken for some tlmo
to come, but it has been decided that
it was only a question of time until
something would have to be done,
and the matter is being looked into.
The commission will visit the old
Barnhart place, the Jim Nelson place
and other ranches In the Barnhart
gulch, where the springs, inuicating
an artesian supply, aro gushing from
the side of the hills. It is thought
that there will be no trouble in se
curing artesian water in this placo,
as mere are two or tnree springs
coming out of the hill, on the north
side of the river, which appear not
to be surface water, but rather a
small- supply from a vein of fresh
water deep in the earth which Is be
ing let out through small crevices In
the rocks and in that way gains the
top of the ground.
If the commission decides to bore
for artlslan water the intention is to
find the supply and pipe it to Penrtle
ton. This will mean a large outlay
of money, but will give the city pure
water, something greatly needed.
Plenty of water to supply an the
needs of the city is being secured
from the wells In the east end, of
town, and pumped to the reservoir
on the hill, but this water is not so
pure as artesian water would bo,
therefore, the question , of securing
the new supply was brought up.
The matter of a different arrange'
ment for metering buildings where
more than one family or firm used
ater. was discussed. No action was
taken in this, but it was thought
that every separate user ought to be
compelled to have a meter to gage
the amount of water used by him.
Water rates wer-' alao discussed. No
change was made In these but the
matter of lowering ihem was conoid-
red. Rates novv are sal ' to l as
low, however, as In any city or town
in the state, considering the service
secured.

Football the Principal Subject of Dis
cussion Among Enthusiasts.
The football season is fast ap
proaching and the young athletes,
with their padded trousers, will soon
seen grappling with the pigskin
on the gridiron. At a meeting of the
enthusiasts of the high school it was
agreed that a team be put Into the
field and material for one of tho
strongest teams In the history of the
school is in sight. Most of the old
football players have returned and
some new material has been added
that will go to make a formidable
team for the enemy to go against.
Two games have already been partly
arranged for. One Is to be with the
Baker City high school on Thanks
giving day and the other with La
Grande on Christmas day. The line
up or tho team as selected win p
Arnsplger, c; Hartman.l g; Reaves
rg- Williams Ig; Mills, rt; Myrick
and Hawks, ends; Cronln, f; McCar-
tie, rh; Baker, lh; Wyrick, q. The
above lineup Is only temporary for
the present, but as soon as a coach
can be secured the lineup will be
made permanent.
The public school is overflowing
with students this year. Room is
limited and It has been found ne-
hcessary to fit up three rooms In the
assembly hall which are being used
by the lower grades.
Miss' Adelle Pickell, of Medford,
has just arrived to take her position
In the school. She has not yet been
placed.
Miss Jennie Shepherd, graduate of
the University of Wisconsin, haa not
arrived to take her position In the
high school department but her pltce
is heing ably filled by Miss Edwards

TOO MUCH DEPOT MAIL.
Imergency Box at Depot Is Flooded
With Local Mail.
Two hundred letters were takien
out of the accommodation mall box,
on the O. It. & N. platform this morn
In. These letters were bound for
different places all over the country
and several were addressed to for
eign ports. Among them was one
drop letter addressed to a Pendleton
-itJzen. All except tho latter will be
dispatched with the greatest speed;
to their destinations, but tho local
letter may lay In this box for several
days and perhaps weeks.
This dox was put up and Is main
tained by the government as an
emergency placo for train men and
passengers to drop mall which is to
be taken on some other train or Is
to return over tho road upon which
tho passenger is traveling. Not
withstanding this fact, It has become
to be looked upon as such a conven
lenco by tho citizens of Pendleton
that it is used by them continually,
and the box Is full all the time.
The mall clerk on each passenger
train stops and Inspects mail left In
this box, and If It Is to go on his
train It is taken out. That which
goes on another train Is left to await
the arrival of the next clerk. People
who happen to get to tho postofllce
too late to get their letters In the
mall before it is made up, rush them
Into this box and they go on the
right train.
While a great many times tho mall
Is dropped Into this box by people
living here for the above reason
here are many who use tho box with
the Idea that by doing so their letter
will go quicker than If it was drop'
ped Into tho postofllce, oven before
the mall Is made up. This Is a mis
taken Idea. Tho postofllce Is the
placo for mall to receive quick dis
patch. It goes Just as quickly after
being put In the local office. Letters
mailed at the postofllce aro much
more convenient for those having to
handle them. Tho postofllce Is pre
pared for handling mall. It has
stamping machine and lias tho clerks
to do the work. A few extra letters
does not cut any figure with them,
but It is different with tho clerk on
the mail, train. Of course, ho Is pre
pared with facilities for handling
this mail, but as a usual thing ho Is
rushed from the time he gets into
his car until he gets out and it makes
hltn unnecessary work. This being
the case, tho railway mall clerk dis
likes having to handle the enormous
amount of mail being dropped Into
the emergency box at the depot.
Another Big Mining Deal,
One of the most Important deals
yet consummated In Kastcrn Oregon
and one which indicates much for the
future of this city and county, was
given publicity this morning through
the filing of a deed from tho Eastern
Fold Mining Company, transferring
all right, title and Interest In the
Balsley-Elkhorn ralno, In tho neigh
borhood of 4E0 acres of timber land
situated upon tho Klkhorn Mountain
the sale price being $40,000. Tho
purchaser is no other than F,
Hayes, the well-known mining man
and capitalist of Philadelphia. Ba
