ED TQR1AL DM E INDUSTRY OiUhMc Rising Accountable lor Pull Times In Pendleton Good Rending for the "Knocker.' COST OF NEW LEVEE (Continued from page 1.) Take some of the highest knockers In Pendleton and you will usually find peor-le who buy .every conceivable thing possible away from this city. In the growth of any live town or city you wlrl find people loyal "to their merchants. There are people In and near Pendleton who will buy sugar or provisions that have no margins at all of their grocer, who Is kind enough to carry their account from -one har vest to another. These same people pay cash to peddlers for teas, coffees, etc., and pay more for It, rather than buy of the merchant who wears a clean collar and new shine, tries to look pleasant and prosperous. Your home merchant pays taxes on his stock that maintains your schools and makes the town a good place to live In. His money Is spent here and falls Indirectly, into TOUR pocket. Trill you leclprocate or will you later "lose your job" because the boss is too poor to keep you'' Wake up!

From station S9 to 15 hulld a levee on the new location with a wall on bedrock along the outer toe and the face of the levee rtprapped with large rock. When the levee is extended later from station 105 to the O. R. & N. railroad, build a levee on the new lo cation. To carry the rrap down to bedrock on this section will be ex pensive and In my opinion it will not be necessary If two cribs are put in near the upper end to divert the cur rent away from the levee. By repairing the toe of the levee with large stone above the Main street bridge, th's part of the levee would probably stand any ordinary flood, but to make the levee safe against such floods as occurred this year the work should be done as outlined In this report. If the work Is done in sections 1 to 4 Inclusive it will pro tect all but the lower part of the city which would be affected only by back water from below the levee. As the material available for the construction of the levee will not make a water tight embankment, there will be some seepage through It and also through the gravel under the levee. The seepage water can be carried off through the surface ditches on the sides of the streets to the lower portion of the city: When the levee Is extended to the railroad below the city a drainage pipe should be placed through the railroad em bankment to let this water out. The water from the mill race Is dis charged back Into the river through a masonry culvert under the levee at station 69-75. The cost of putting in an iron, gate at the lower end of the culvert to prevent the high water backing up through the culvert will be about S225. Cost of Work 4n Detail. The estimated cost of the work is as follows: Section No. 1 (present location) Excavating, 3000 cubic yards at 20 cents, $600; embankment, 4500 cubic yards at 20 cents, $900; riprap, 2400 square yards at $1, $2400; stone ma sonry, 150 cubic yards at $6.50, $975; total, $4375. Section No. 2 Excavation, 3600 cubic yards at 30 cents, $1080; riprap 2100 square yards, at $1, $2100; stone masonry, 960 cubic yards, $6.50, $6, 240; total, $9420. Section No. 3 Excavation, 1200 cubic yards, at 30 cents, $360; riprap 1600 square yards, at $1, $1600; stone masonry, 730 cubic yards, at $6.50, $4745; Iron gate, $225; total, $6930. Section No. 4 Excavation, 1000 cubic yards, at 30 cents, $300; em bankment, 12,500 cubic yards, at 30 cents, $3750; riprap, 6500 square yards, at $1, $5500; stone masonry, 870 cubic yards, at $6.50, $5655; total, $15,205. Section No, J Embankment, 21,- 500 cubic yards at 20 cents, 94300; riprap, 5400 square yards, at $1, $5400; cribs, $2250; total, $11,950. Total of all sections, $4 8,380. Jncidental? and contingencleSj $2,- 000, ' Eiigllieering und supervision, $2520. Total cost of work, $52,900, If the levee is built on the new lo cation on section 1, the cost will be approximately $12,500. Respectfully submitted, FRANK C. KELRAY.

Owlnn, chairman of the executive committee, this afternoon. Mr. Gwlnn, who Is now soon to be a resident of Pendleton, having pur chased an Interest In the Savings bank, came down from Boise, this morning. However, he will spend but a day here, after which ho will return to Idaho, where his presence will be required constantly until after the great congress is held. Regarding the prospects for the congress he said: "We have already received notices of the appointment of over 1200 dele gates from the various states of the west, and more are now being named dally. There is every Indication of u large attendance. Colorado will be on hand with a large delegation, headed by the governor, as will also California. An unusual feature of the coming meeting Is the Interest shown, by people of the far east. One man f"om .Maine' wrote but a few days ago saying he would be present and others from -all ovor the eastern states have shown a similar Interest." "At the headquarters In Boise place are now being found for visit ors' who will be there during the con- gross and over 1000 rooms have al ready been registered with the secre'i tary. Viniitllla Should Re There. "At the coming congress there will be a grand opportunity for tho people of Pendleton and Umatilla county, declares Mr. Gwlnn. "This county Is now on the verge of a great develop ment and It will be worth while for tlio citizens to attend the congress and meet with those present from the vice president down."
