Relievo Pumping Facilities SlMiuhl bo In creased ami the Reservoir Kept Full: Danger from Fire Demands It The water situation In this city Is now more serious tnan it nas ever been and there Is a general demand from owners of business property and homes In all parts of the city that something be done to remedy the matter. Never before In Pendleton has wa ter been as scarce as now, and while it Is not the desire of the people or the press to advertise the matter, yet it is evident that something must be done to bring the water commission to realize and appreciate the situa tion. There was but two feet of water in the city reservoir this morning at 8 o'clock when there should have been at least seven or eight feet to fur nish an adequate eupply for irrlga tion and fire protection. The pres sure In all rarta of the city has been very low for the past week, and in the higher residence districts on either hill It has been impossible to irrigate owing to the low pressure, Lawns are actually suffering for water and the only way In which many residents secure water for lr rlgating purposes at all Is to get up at 2 and 3 o'clock In the morning and irrigate while the town Is asleep. This Is a most unsatisfactory condi tion and residents In all parts of the city are complaining. The sentiment of the people Is ; that the pumping facilities should be Increased and the reservoir kept full at all times. This is due the city not only for Irrigating purposes, but for fire protection. The pressure from the reservoir is not sufficient to form adequate fire protection and there is a general demand from prop erty owners In the business section that conditions be Improved, even though It be at considerable ex pense. The people on the north side of the river have experienced more dif ficulty this season In securing water than ever before and for many days it a time have been unable to Irri gate at all, while water for kitchen use has been scarce at times. Many valuable homes and much city prop erty are thus exposed to danger from fire needlessly and some decisive ac tion will be demanded soon If condi tions are not Improved. No Water in River. The water in the Umatilla river Is very low and It Is doubtful that a sufficient supply could be secured even with more pumping facilities. The pipe line from which the city supply is drawn will be extended sev eral hundred feet further up the riv er bed In hopes of securing an addl tional water supply, but even this Is a temporary relief and will answer for only a few weeks when the sit uation will be as bad as at present. The Byers mill race is full of wa ter but that does not belong to the people of Pendleton and Is not avail able for city uses It seems except up on an extreme emergency. A canvass of public opinion on the subject this morning shows that bus iness men and home owners favor the construction of a gravity system of water from the mountains, no matter what the cost. WASHINGTON FRUIT. Evergreen State Hns 3,722,105 Grow Apple Trees. The fifth biennial report of the state commlsslener of horticulture, F. A.

STARTING BLOCK SIGNALS WEST Fore of Men Now Employed in In tailing Signal System from Tills City Westward. J. R.

Mr. Dean has had charge of the signal station at Kamela since It was Installed and Is an expert In the work. , ARE ORGANIZING EMPLOYES TIRED OF Failure of Fellow Servant Law the Cause of Solid Antl-Rallruad Or. conization of Employes Railroad Politicians and Official Have Kill ed the Favorite Measure of the Employes In Five Consecutive Ses sions of the Legislature. Political organizers are working among the railroad employes of this slate to line them up In a solid voting machine and to use them in opposi tion to the railroad program, says Seattle dispatch to the Oregonlan The movement started In Tacoma, hut the story of the program has been spread among trainmen In most parts of the state by that time. The railroad employes only asked for two pieces of legislation from the last session. They secured the pass age of the 16-hour bill, but the senate defeated the fellow-servant measure which the railroad men wanted. As a matter of fact the bill was beaten by the lumbermill and manu facturing interests, but as the rail roads are not paying much attention to other remedial legislation the em ployes have obtained In the past the men are being urged to organize against the lines to handle their own political fight next time, and to take revenge for their long series of do feats. As long ago as 1893 the railroads promised the employes a fellow- servant bill. Five legislative session have passed without the bill, and th employes are "sort." It is declared In addtion that the railroads are not obeying the laws Intended to protect the life and health of their men. The reports of Track and Equipment In spector Perley to the state railroad commission tend to confirm this claim. In the past, the railroad employes have always voted solidly with roads and against anv plan that threaten ?d to injure their employers. The men have taken the position that their Interests were closely allied with the roads themselves, and have been a dependable quantity. The failure of the railroads to reciprocate In obeying the new protective stat utes Is claimed to be responsible for the new political organization. Charged With Criminal Libel. Mark D.
