Solid Rock.
Fred Walters, proprietor of tho
Farmers' Custom Mills, sltunt.cd on
the north Bide In the western part of
the city limits, Is building u mill into
which, when completed, will give a
fall of 56 feet tho greatest hurncBsed

Tho now raco will furnish power
for tho largo mills planned by Mr.
Walters, and, If necessary, would
supply enough electrical energy for
the city of Pendleton and the entire
surrounding country.
Several ycarB ago tho Oregon Rull

crosses jtho river to a point on tho

Oliver farm, a dlstanco of two in Hub.
Upon tho acquisition of tho milling
property Mr. Waltors gulned poshoB'
slon of the beginning of this course
and has been excavating tho raco for
the paBt year. Tho first mllo of tho
new ditch is completed. The first
half had to bo rut through solid rock
and with this part out of tho way,
the rest Is .easy sailing as It runs
through even soli for tho groater part
of tho distance which can be easily
scooped out with teams and scrapers,
Some difficulty has been oxporlcn.c

one or two of tho small property own

would run. If this obstacle proves
B.erlous "Sir. Waltera will erect his
new mill on his property just above

used to run tho old mill.
The owners of the small tracts
